Spend your time at home
From Create Your Own Story
Being a young teenage girl is tough!
After deciding to spend your time at home, you just begin the day by hanging around your room. You finally have a chance to read through the latest Cosmogirl. You wish that you could afford to look as sexy as the girls in the magazine. You've been trying lately, with more skirts, and fashion sense, but you still don't feel glamorous. The quiz sucks this issue ("To Headwear or not"), but you take it anyway - apparently in your case it's a not! But still, one can't ready Cosmo all day, and so bored, you leave your room and see your your father in the living room. He's setting in a big chair, in his boxers and dirty t-shirt, drinking a beer, and watching TV.
Ever since your mom died last year, things have been getting steadily worse. She was all that kept the family in line. Since her death, your father lost his job, and has started drinking heavily, and you have to take care of your little five-year old brother, who's still at daycare now. Your father only lays around, and doesn't ever seem to be happy.
You sit down on the couch, and start watching TV. Your father is looking at you strangely, something you've been worried about lately. He seems to be more and more interested in you, and not in a comfortable way. Today, it might be because you're still dressed for school - a short skirt and tank top. He's making you uncomfortable, but he is your father, so you have to try to say something to him, but what can you say?
Do you:
- Act tough, and tell him to get a job and snap out of it
- Try to sit by him, and be his sweet daughter
- Just ignore him and go to your room again
