Learning True Values (for Fenrir13)

“This is fucking bullshit…

A foul mouthed teen said to herself as she walked up to her new home. It was a house in the middle of nowhere. Her name is Amber and she’s in a lot of trouble. Everything around her smelled, the cell service was horrible and it involved a lot of walking. Even though she took a bus, she still had to walk up a hill to get here. This all happened because she was having a Sweet 16 party at her house. But the problem happened when it got too rowdy. By the time the party was over a lot of them were sick, there was multiple holes in the wall, the sink was broken among other things. Her parents finally had enough and asked if her grandfather was still offering to take care of her and try to straighten her out, as he offered in the past and as he did for the mother when she was in her rebellious phase. One short phone call later, the bags were packed and shipped to the house and she was sent off.

To say she was not happy was an understatement. She had short bright green hair with a side cut. She had on a black tank top with a skull smoking a cigarette on the front with sweatpants and comfortable looking sneakers. Her nails were unpainted and there wasn’t a drop of makeup on her face. She also had a black backwards hat on her head as she stomped angrily to the front door. Letting out a frustrated growl, she finally knocked on the door

Ned was watching football on the Tv when he heard a knock on the door. The old man got up as quick as his joints would allow and moved his burly body to the entrance of their house. "I´m coming...", she shouted, maybe a bit too grumpy, as he was missing the best part of the game.
He opened the door and was a little weirded out by the girls colorful appearance. "Oh, hi Amber. My you´ve changed...", he said, but felt a bit bad for it. He didn´t want to come off prejudiced. She could still be a sweet kid and dress like a punk, couldn´t she? Making the wrong call probably he opened his arms. "We´ve been waiting for you. Come on, give your old gramps a hug!", he demanded with a toothy grin that was just as white as his hair.

Amber huffed as she stood there and waited for the door to open. When it did, she rolled her eyes at his initial response. She dyed her hair only a couple months ago and she saw him almost a year ago now for a family get together. When he tried to get a hug, she just pushed her way through him and walked into the house. She heard the football game on TV and was curious about it as she listened to it for a bit. She loved sports, especially American football but she was never allowed to join a team in her town because “she was a girl” but she always felt that wasn’t fair. “Just tell me where my room is and leave me the hell alone.” She said, not even saying hello as her music could be heard from her headphones that were around her neck

Well that was not a nice way to treat your grandpa. He sighted but let her have her way. For now. In his mind this was "strike one", though. He just didn´t want to start their new relationship with an argument or worse - a spanking. But damn she needed one. Did she go to one of these liberal schools that had outlawed paddling? "Oh, well...I just wanted to watch football anyway. I thought we could maybe watch together, but if you don´t want to be nice to grandpa and rather mope in your room? Fine.", he said, trying to remain calm, buuut his voice had somewhat of an uncomfortable undertone and he sort of glared. He did notice her interest in the game. But watching would mean having to bond a bit with the old man. "Its upstairs. Can´t miss it.", he said and waved her away before returning to his seat. His wife looked over from the kitchen with a hint of curiosity. But she was a bit shy and decided to maybe win Ambers hard with a pie or something, rather than facing an angry teen.

While she could be caught looking in the direction of the screen and the source of the sound, clearly interested in the game and what was happening; she still walked away and marched up the stairs. In the room, she closed the door but the lock wasn’t working. She rolled her eyes as she was happy her younger siblings weren’t here as they would sneak into her room and play pranks on her and steal her stuff. She got into big trouble when her younger sister stole her underwear and planted them on a stick and waved them around like a friend for all of her peers to see. She made sure her younger sister learned her lesson after that. As time passed, she laid down on her bed and frowned as she had poor cell service so watching videos would be a pain. She decided she’ll put her clothes and stuff away later

Mildred walked up the stairs and to Ambers new room, knocking on the door softly. "Dear, dinner is ready. Would be nice if you could come down and spend some time with family. I made meat loaf, might not be fancy but I´ve been told I cook it really well.", she said with a soft smile, still hoping the girl would fit in after she had calmed herself down a bit. Ned was already at the table, staring at the dish. He felt quite hungry and didn´t want to wait long for their charge to get over her pride and plant her butt on one of the chairs. Still he waited politely.

Amber was still on her bed, reading a graphic novel on her phone and rolling her eyes as she heard the feminine voice coming from outside the door. While she was getting a bit hungry, she didn’t want to leave this room right now and spend and awkward time at the dinner table where they’re inevitably going to talk to her and ask her a million awkward questions. No, she would much rather just raid the fridge when they’re sleeping. “Go away, I’m not hungry.” She stated in a clear low tone that conveyed annoyance

[Fenrir13]

"Don´t take that tone with me young lady, your just going to get my husband mad.", Mildred said softly but firmly. "I guess we can let you skip dinner, but I don´t want to hear from you that you are hungry. I put a lot of effort into that meat loaf.", the old woman added, sounding a bit hurt. Meanwhile Ned got sick of only looking at his dinner. "Isn´t she coming?", she shouted from below. "Looks like it!", was Mildred answer,"I can´t drag her down here, so I guess its just us at the dinner table."

“Like I care?” Amber huffed as she went back to focusing on her reading, although her stomach growling would distract her quite a bit. And the food did smell good but it’s not like she could tell them that. Why can’t they just leave her alone! She’ll eat when she’s ready! And now that she was thinking of it, she remembered she has sour candy that she stole from a gas station in her bag. Unzipping it, she began to take it out and immediately ate a piece
