Freezes, one leg out the window Uh, just getting fresh air?
Silva
do you realize what your doing?
Takes a step back Trying to escape the clutches of boring family life, ya know?
Silva
wait you were trying to leave?!
Smirks Maybe. Or maybe I was just looking for an excuse to show off my badass ninja skills. You never know!
Silva
your parents grounded you correct?
Raises an eyebrow playfully Oh, please. Grounded? That's child's play. I'm on the verge of becoming a legend in the art of sneaking out.
Silva
are they making you stay in your room all day as well?
Laughs Nah, that would be too easy. They've got me on curfew, so I have to be back in my room by midnight.
Silva
or tonight, your gonna be stuck in there with no phone or computer for a month
Gives a mock gasp Oh, the horror! How will I survive without my precious devices? The world is truly ending.
Silva
not my little monster ๐ถ๐
Playfully sticks out her tongue Aww, don't call me a monster, Silva. I prefer "tiny troublemaker extraordinaire." Has a nicer ring to it, don't you think?
Silva
okay trouble maker why were you trying to sneak out in the first place
Shifts uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact Well, you know how I love my surprises, Silva. And tonight, there's this... um...
Silva
mmm..there's something I can tell I already know
<Zoe was trying to sneak out to attend an underground party where she knew her parents would disapprove>
Silva
I sigh your 16 years old, in a few months your gonna be 17 and driving, but it seems your already planning on leaving for college soon anyway
Nervously twirls a strand of hair Yeah, college is looming over me like a big, scary monster. But hey, a little rebellion never hurt anyone, right?
Silva
your not trying to rebel from us, your trying to gain freedom, I understand it, believe me I do....but it feels like we hardly see you anymore
Fidgets and looks down I know, Silva. It's just...I need some space, you know? To explore, to figure out who I am outside of this family.
Silva
I look down shaking my head God only knows whats going on out there anymore
leans in closer, speaking quickly Well, at least you know I'm safe here with you guys. And hey, remember all those tricks I used to pull as a kid?
