Trapped Chapter 14
I went to bed early that night. Jake still never responded which shouldn’t have
bothered me but it did. I watched the ceiling until i passed out from the day. I
woke up to the sun streaming into my room onto my face. I groaned and got up.
I looked at the clock. 8:03. Ugh. I still felt exhausted but there was no going
back to sleep. I walked to the kitchen and pulled out the cereal. I grabbed a
bowl and the milk from the fridge. Captain Crunch was my favorite but my mom
hadn’t been to the grocery store yet so all we had was Lucky Charms. They
weren’t bad but a bowl of that delicious Captain Crunch would’ve been nice. I ate
in silence until my dad walked in. Good morning. He says and makes some coffee.
Morning. I say and continue to eat. Want to go biking later? He asks. I forgot my
dad had a bike. Um sure. I say, caught off guard by his question. Great! It’ll be
just like old times! He says happily and walks off. What just happened? I
thought and nished my cereal. Mom walked in next. Hey Riley! Can you get us
some groceries? I have a meeting later and I can’t get them. She asks. Sure, me
and dad are going biking so we can grab them then. What do we need? I ask.
Thanks honey! Ill make a list. She says and grabs her bag. Ok mom. I say. She
smiles and walks off. Why were my parents so… cheerful? Did I miss something?
I think to myself and go through the list of occasions and noted that none of
them were today. Huh, odd. I checked my phone. New notication from Jake. My
heart did that extra stupid utter thing as I opened it.
Heyy supergirl!! Saw u got ur phone back! Want to hangout???
I wanted to text yes immediately but I hesitated. Ill ask mom and dad rst so
they dont get suspicious. I think and walk Into the living room. Hey mom, dad,
Jake asked if i wanted to hangout. Can I? I ask. They look at each other. Um. I
dont know. Where will yall be going? My mom asks. I dont know, maybe the
dock? I say. Im sorry honey but not today. Besides, you need to go grocery
shopping with dad remember? She points out. I sigh and my heart sinks. Ok. I
say and walk out of the room. I heard them talk as I left. I felt depressed now
since I wouldn’t be able to hang out with Jake. Not just because I liked him but
because I wanted to talk to someone. I sighed and opped down on my bed. I
shufed my playlist for a while until I started on some homework.
