Jon took an alternate path. There was a stretch of woods behind the high school that passed behind his house. That's where he had been trudging. It took 1.5 hours for a walk that would take 30 on sidewalks.
Mostly because it was impossible to walk through the forest on 4 in heels. Even harder for someone who never had. As he walked Jon felt weird. It was as if he could feel flesh moving around his body. Collecting in two lumps on his chest and on his hips and rear.
Jon dismissed this though. He was really really thirsty and clearly, that was messing with his head.
Finally, he made it to his house. Zoe said she would be at Athena's after school and his parents wouldn't be home until sometime after 6 pm.
As he walked into his house, Jon marveled at how well he was walking in heels now. It had been hard in the forest but on a solid surface, it was no big deal.
He walked into the kitchen, his hips swaying slightly. He went to pour himself a glass of water but paused and turned and opened the liquor cabinet. He grabbed a bottle of Greek wine and poured himself a glass.
This greatly alarmed Jon. He had never had alcohol and his parents hated wine and never kept any in the house. And yet there was his favorite bottle of Greek wine. He savored it and made his way upstairs.
