Breakfast

"Lauren! Breakfast!"

Lauren heard her mother calling from the kitchen. She sighed. She really wanted to hide out in her room... but she didn't even have a door, so it wasn't much of a possibility. So, crossing her arms over herself to hide what she could of her bathing suit, Lauren headed out the door.

In the dining room her mother, sister, step brother and step father were eating. They all turned as she entered the room. Instantly Vanessa snorted with laughter and her brother gave an amused, leering grin.

"Mom, why was this all there was to wear?" Lauren asked.

"Because, you're cleaning the pond today for community service, remember?" Her mother said.

"B... but I have work afterwards!" Lauren pointed out. "And besides, I haven't worn this thing since I was eight!" Lauren pointed out.

"It seems to still fit you." Her mother pointed out.

"Yeah, we can all see you still have the body of an eight year old anyways!" Vanessa snickered.

"Now sit down and eat Lauren." Her mother commanded. "You get oatmeal by the way. If you insist on getting naked in public, you can at least try to loose the jellyrolls!"

Everyone laughed as Lauren, furious, embarrassed, uncomfortable and abashed, sat reluctantly to family breakfast...
