Jada's list of things she can do to piss off her parents

The writing was big and neat on the top of a clean sheet of light blue lined paper. Jada rested back against her headboard, tapping her pen against the small lap-held writing desk.

Get tramp stamp – this is a possibility. Pattern? And could I do this without being thoroughly drunk?
Lose … well... that THING – this is... an embarassing possibility. Need applicants.
Get a motorcycle – I'd rather learn to ride one first. Who do I know with a motorcycle?
Elope with random dude – Only if they keep trying to arrange my marriage!
Cut and Dye hair – Definite possibility. I wonder how I'd look blonde?
Claim she is lesbian – Well, probably not just a small possibility.


The pen was inserted between white teeth, ankles crossing as she debated. Setting the desk on her nightstand, Jada allowed her body to fall back onto white satin sheets, snuggling against the cool material with a sigh of relief. It was only 6:00 in the afternoon. She should be moving back into Crystal tomorrow, with a new room and everything. The one that had been stained with the blood of her lingerie was going to be given to someone else.

All in all, the story had remained on the down low.

Unfortunately, her new bedroom was on the second floor and she didn't have a tree to climb to get in and out of her window. This would be a problem for her when she wanted to go out patrolling, or meet up with Virgo or any of the other Scouts.

Get belly piercing – I think something shiny in my belly would look nice.
Get nose/lip ring – Not likely, but a possibility.
Encourage sisters to go to Meadowview instead of Crystal – I've been doing this for years.
Get arrested – Rap sheets would not look good to potential employers
Public Indecency – See above; If I get caught. What are the legal definitions anyways? Research...
Public Drunkenness – Rap sheets would not look good to potential employers
Buy cigarettes – I'm almost 18. This would be legal. This would also be disgusting.


She continued down the list after picking the desk back up and rolling over to her belly. Long legs kicked into the air.

Get a real boyfriend – Mom already is angry over the fact I refused to go on the dates she's set up with me this week.

She pondered some more. Honestly, being a bad child wasn't what she was best at. She thrived on her parents being happy with her! And if she pushed this too much, daddy might not give her the loan to get her apartment after graduation. In just a few months, three at the most! She huffed out a breath, contemplating.

Well, it wasn't like her parents had to know if she did a few of the things on this list. That would be between her and whoever she did them with.

She folded up the paper, slid it into her purse. Set the table down on the bed, and decided to go for a horseback ride. Lady Luck would help her cool her head, and it was a beautiful Saturday...
