December 16, 2014 Who: Nikolai Mason-Diederich + Magdalena Diederich What: Dad's picking her up from school. Teenage angst ensues. When: 8pm, December 16, 2014 (after this thread.) Where: In the car, heading back home from NKN. Warnings: TBD. Status: Ongoing.
Well her day had gone interesting enough. The day had been sort of long and she had spent a good majority of it chatting on the network, but she had been feeling anxious about going home and eating dinner with her family. Times like these made her wish she could stay at NKN, though she was sure she would feel differently about it if she did actually have to. Unfortunately, she really didn't get a whole lot done on the project she had been intending to work on - after having met Teddy (that Teddy, Ian's Teddy) and being roped into making posters for the Cat Calendar sales. She had done a pretty good job, she thought, even if she were now covered in paint. Both on her hands, and the over large hand prints on her shoulders from where Teddy had touched her and left paint all over her sweater.
It was cold outside, and she hadn't worn the warmest thing on the planet but didn't anticipate having to wait long for her dad. Nikolai was usually on time, and she had grown to trust him in the eight years that she had been his daughter. It was still weird, remembering the life she had had before she was adopted by Nikolai and Asher, but things had been going so well with them that she only ever thought about it to realize how lucky she had been. She could have been stuck in foster care her whole life, or separated from her sister, or adopted by people who weren't as kind as her Dads were.
As she expected, she was only out in the cold for just a few minutes when she saw her Dad pull up, and she hopped up to the car, tossing her bag in the back seat before she went ahead and took the passenger seat in the front, shutting the door and slapping her seat belt on hastily. "Hey, Dad." She said, a little distracted. She had both met a new person today, possibly was joining a new club, and over the networks she realized she may have a sort of unofficial date with a guy she had never met. Clearly, she was up to her neck in teenage angst and her thoughts were wandering to the days ahead and possibilities for new friendships, instead of being in the present and paying attention to whatever her Dad was talking about.
