"Miss Vegara.. Miss Vegara!" Darleen snapped awake looking up at her history teacher, "Uh, yeah?" Some people in the class laughed and some just rolled their eyes. Her history teacher looked at her sternly, "Instead of falling asleep in class, how about you watch the documentary on how life was for people in 1955." Darleen nodded and rubbed her eyes before going back to looking at the screen.

This was the worst part of the school day—in the other periods—she could get away with sleeping, listening to music, and talking to her friends. She looked over and saw one of her friends from middle school, Marty McFly. She leaned over to him and whispered, "You meeting up with Doc after school?" She asked.

"Uh, yeah.. he actually called me when I was at his place saying to meet him at the mall at 1:15 today." Marty answered, tapping his pencil on his desk. Darleen nodded in response before hesitating, "Can I maybe, come with you?" Marty looked at her straight in the eyes, "I've told you before, Doc doesn't necessarily like you."

Darleen rolled her eyes, "Just cause I spilled soda—on accident—on his experiment that one time doesn't mean that he should hate me!" She whisper yelled. "Ahem." The two looked up and saw the teacher again.

"Two detentions I suppose?" Darleen and Marty both groaned before putting their hands out resulting in the teacher placing two detentions down onto their hands.

"Hey dad! I'm home!" Darleen yelled as she walked into her home, it was a small place but it was homey. "Oh—Daryl get in here quickly please!" Her dad called back to her.

She walked into the living room seeing that her dad was painting Darleens' step mom. Her dad remarried pretty quickly after he divorced Darleens' biological mom.

"Does her face look symmetrical?" He asked her, she looked between the painting and her step mom. "Yeah, it's pretty symmetrical." She patted her dad on the back before waving hello to her step mom.

"I'm gonna go over to Marty's soon!" Darleen yelled from her room before hearing a faint 'ok' back. She placed her book bag and skateboard down on the ground.

This was the norm—Darleen going over to Martys' place unannounced, saying hello to Mr. and Mrs. McFly, before looking through their fridge for food.

It had reached 8:00, so Darleen decided that they should be having dinner at Martys' place pretty soon. She got dressed before grabbing her skateboard. "Bye! I'm going over to Martys'!" Darleen didn't bother hearing if her parents replied or not.

She ran outside before throwing her skateboard down and skating down to Martys' house.
