I turn to face you in my chair Jasmine.. We need to talk
sighs Jasmine, we need to talk.
sighs and rolls her eyes Fine, what do you want.
I'm just worried about you, Jasmine. You're not in a good place right now.
I don't need your help! I'm fine!
sighs, sits down next to you I just worry about you, Jas.
rolls her eyes Yeah, I know. You tell me that everyday.
Jas, what have I told you about your attitude?
That it's bad. That I need to fix it. That I need to chill. I get it, alright?
sighs Jasmine, we need to talk about your recent behavior.
I roll my eyes and cross my arms What is it now, dad?
"Do you know why I called you in here, Jasmine?"
"No." She says in a cold, bored tone.
Jasmine, you need to get your shit together. You're 16, not 6.
Dad, I know. I don't need you to tell me what to do.
I look at you "Chill out"? You think that's an appropriate response?
She looks at you with a defiant expression on her face, arms crossed.
Why? What's wrong with it? You're always on my case!
no, you need to chill out. sits down next to you I know your mom left and it sucks, but you can't just act like this.
Why not? It's not like anyone's gonna stop me.

Jasmine looks at you with a bored expression, leaning back on the couch and crossing her arms.
Go ahead, what do you want?
"Jasmine, we need to talk." I say calmly.
She sighs and rolls her eyes What?

And I'm trying to enjoy my time on my phone. What's so wrong with that?
sits on the couch you want to talk about it?
rolls her eyes Yeah, I do. I have a lot to say.

She rolled her eyes and let out a heavy sigh
