"Mom? Dad?" Tiffany asked a little nervously. She was unsure how her parents would react to her new lifestyle and choice of friends.
"What's it honey?" Her mom asked.
"Can I go round to a friends house for a sleepover?" Tiffany asked. Normally she wouldn't bother asking but something told her that she needed to ask for her parents permission.
"Of course you can honey." Her mom replied. They found a bit odd that she had asked them for permission but they decided not to ask.
"Hanging out with Sarah and the girls again?" Her father asked.
Tiffany fidgeted nervously. This was the part she was afraid of. "Urm, no actually. His name's Josh and me and some friends of his were going to stop over and watch Star Wars."
Her dad looked at her mom. They both seem surprised. "Tiffany darling." Her dad asked. "What with all these sudden changes?"
"Well Miss Fine pointed out that I wasn't focusing enough on my studies so she's helped me adjust and make some new friends." Tiffany explained.
"This is the new student counselor that you told me about the other day?" He asked. Tiffany nodded.
Her father took in what his daughter was wearing. It was a far cry from what she normally wore. A pink floral shirt underneath a red and black striped cardigan. She wore a tanned coloured pencil skirt, her legs were covered by brown tights and on her feet were a pair of brown Mary Jane's.
Something had happened to his daughter and it seemed to have something to do with this Miss Fine woman. He would need to investigate.
"So can I go? Tiffany asked.
"Of course you can honey." Her mom said.
"Great. I'll go upstairs and pack." She excitedly headed to her bedroom but as she exited the living room she paused.
"Oh and I could do with a lift please?" She asked. Her mom nodded. Tiffany smiled and then hurried upstairs to pack.
