Lily Enderson was getting tired of being called Red Riding Hood. Just because she usually wore a red hoodie to school doesn't mean kids should treat her like a fairy tale. Lily, having a good day right now, was walking down the hall when... "Hey Red Riding Hood," a voice said. Lily gritted her teeth and turned. She calmed down when she saw it was only her best friend, Ty, acting like his usual self, an ass. "Shut up!" Lily laughed. Somehow, whenever Ty called her Red Riding Hood, she was okay with it. Probably because she had the biggest crush on him. "Sorry, hey, about the studying at my house tonight, I gotta cancel." Ty suddenly said. "Huh? Why?" "My uncle's coming over for dinner. He really wants to spend a lot of time with me, mostly cause I haven't seen him in ten years when I was six." "Oh, that's cool. What about tommorow night?" The bell rang. "Sorry, gotta get to class!" Ty ran off. Lily was then left in the hall, alone. "Well, I'm such a moron. I acted like a dumb bimbo around him!" Lily went to class...
That night, she got the bad news. "Lily," Mrs. Enderson said, "your Grandmother is very sick." Lily's heart practically broke in half. Grandma Kat was the coolest Grandma ever, even for a sixteen year old like Lily. "How sick?" Lily asked. "Very. She might," a tear ran down Mrs. Enderson's face, "die." Lily ran upstairs and covered her face in the pillow. Kat was going to croak. Lily always knew this day would come, but why so suddenly? She had talked to Kat over the phone yesterday and she was fine. Lily cried herself to sleep that night. But at about 1:00 o'clock on the morning, her cell-phone rang. We were born for this! was what blared out of the phone, which was a song by Paramore, Lily's favorite song. Lily awoke and flipped it open. "Yeah?" "Lil," Ty said, "I heard about your Grandma. Hope she feels better." "Thanks," Lily said, and then laughed, "why didn't you tell me in the morning?" "Technically, this is morning. Ha ha!" Ty was crazy sometimes. "Sorry bout waking you." "Gee, that's okay, I love getting calls this late. Just kidding. See ya." Lily closed the phone.
The next day, she had another crappy day at school. But after that, her mother told her some good news. "Grandma's getting better." "Yes!" Lily practically shouted. "Yeah, she took some kind of pill that really did the trick. But she's still very sick, and I was wondering if you could take these to her." Mrs. Enderson held out a get-well basket. "Awesome, sure." Lily was afraid to go all the way into the woods to her Grandma's house. But she'd be okay. If only she had known... Copyright 2008 Robbie |
