Linda, 62, Retired.
Jennifer, 14, Student.
Linda sat down on a bench and waited for the bus.
Next bus comes in: 27 Minutes.
She waited.
An teenager called Jennifer sat down next to her.
"Hi" she said trying to make conversation.
"Hi" Linda replied.
"You know what... Micky's just gone down the lake and kissed Kirsty" Jennifer blurted out.
"Wow" Linda replied, trying not to talk to her.
"Hello? Micky was my boyfriend!" Jennifer shouted.
"Oh, well" Linda muttered.
"What was that?" Jennifer shouted.
"Nothing" Linda replied.
"Look, Lady, don't you take the mick outta my Micky, just cause he's going out with kirsty who actually likes mark, But I think Mark has a crush on me, But I like Micky and hate Kirsty" Jennifer said really fast.
Linda turned round.
It was going to be even longer till that bus came.
"Well, Little young you, just shut up" Linda said.
"Ey, Old ladies don't talk like that" Jennifer shouted.
Linda chuckled to herself.
"I'm talking to you lady" Jennifer shouted.
"Well, you're parents haven't bought you up well have they?" Linda shouted back.
"Ey, Take a chill pill gran..." Jennifer got interuppted.
"GRAN?" Shouted Linda.
"Ey... I never meant..." Jennifer paused.
"MICKY!" Jennifer shouted she ran over to the otherside of the road where there was a boy annd girl walknig hand in hand.
It seems that the boy must of been Micky and the girl was Kirsty. Micky paushed Jennifer on the road and said something to her. Kirsty laughed. Micky and Kirsty left Jennifer.
Jennifer came back to the bench in tears.
"He... He" Jennifer tried to say through her tears.
Linda sighed.
"He's left me!" Jennifer screamed.
Linda chuckled.
"Ey, Shut up. I bet you don't know how that feals DO YA?" Jennifer screamed.
"I sure do" Linda replied.
"NO YA DON'T! YOU DON'T CARE FOR ANY OF US! YOU JUST LIKE RUNNING US OVER IN YOUR ELECTRIC CHAIR THINGS!" Jennifer shouted back.
"Trust me I do know..." Linda muttered.
"How then? You ain't even had a boyfriend to leave ya!" Jennifer screamed.
"Yeah, You;re right. But my Husband left me" Linda shouted back.
"What he divorced you... That's you're problem..." Jennifer screamed.
"HE DIDN'T DIVORCE ME! I'M A WIDOW! HE DIED!" Linda screamed back and slapped Jennifer round the face.
Jennifer was shocked.
"Sorry... I..." Jennifer tried to apologize.
"Forget it! Clear off..." Linda shouted.
"I need to wait for the bus..." Jennifer said quietly.
Linda got up and walked away.
Jennifer walked after her.
Linda went to the next bus stop.
Jennifer sat down beside her again.
"So" Jennifer said. "What do you like to do" Jennifer prayed she was making things better.
"Well, I like to sit down and have a nice cup of tea" Linda said sarcastically.
"Seriously" Jennifer asked.
"Watch TV, visit my grandkids" Linda replied.
"Watch TV?" Jennifer asked.
"We're not that old" Linda replied.
"I wish I was on tv" Jennifer added.
"Me too" Linda replied.
"WHAT?" Jennifer shouted.
Linda looked at her in a way that told Jennifer to just shut up.
"So.. what would you like to do on tv" Jennifer asked.
"Well... A insurance advert:

I was walking to work, I slipped on a sandwich a fat guy left on the floor, I seriously broke my leg. I got five thou.... A whole lot of cash Go to Reallygoodinsuarers.com today!"

Linda finished.
Jennifer laughed.
"You" Linda asked.
"A kids tv presenter...

That was woody woodpecker... Will he ever get out of the killer cage, Find out next time! On next is Blue Peter!"

Jennifer finished.
Linda laughed.
"What?" Jennifer asked.
"You'd never be good at that" Linda said.
Jennifer sighed, she looked at her feet as she was swinging them back and forth. "I guess not, it's just a dream, dreams never come true."
"They could... you just need to keep working hard, and stop worrying about boys" said Linda
"It's not all i think of" Jennifer said quickly
"Oh really, what else do you think of then?" Linda asked fascinated about the situation.
"Well, my education... and... my friends... and - "
" - Don't hurt yourself, i don't think your brain can cope, thinking up so many lies and all." interupted Linda laughing.
Jennifer let out a little giggle, but, then she raised her head in shock.
"LOOK!" Jennifer shouted "Oh my god, look!"
Linda sat and looked in the direction of Jennifer.
"...What?" Linda asked in confusion
"It's kirsty!"
"Oh, that girl who's going out with your soulmate?" said Linda laughing
"This isn't a laughing matter, and also, thats not micky, thats mark, shes two timing them both! Oh my god the cheek!" Jennifer shouted while putting her hands on her warm cheeks.
"Oh well, I guess she's just immature, but then again, so are most teen -"
"I can't stand here and watch Micky get hurt, what do you think i should do?" said Jennifer ignoring Linda.
"Well i think you shoul - "
"You know what, i'm going to go over there and tell Mark right now, but wait" said Jennifer agan interupting Linda.
"If you would let me finish, i think you should just - "
"If i tell Mark, then he will just dump Kirsty, so that means Kirsty will still be going out with Micky, so i can't tell Mark, i want Kirsty to stay with Mark, so that means i will have to tell Micky... but... I don't want to tell Micky incase he think's i'm just trying to break them up... but then again... I'm just doing it out of the good of my heart, i mean, I don't NEED to tell Micky, i'm just so nice that it's only right if i do" said Jennifer speaking so fast that her walking in a pace up and down was almost turning into a jog!
Jennifer sat down looking at Kirsty and Mark.
" I can't believe it!" said Jennifer nearly crying.
"Look, i know its hard but i think you should just stay - "
"That's it settled, i'm going to tell Micky!" said Jennifer
"Thanks for the help Linda!" said Jennifer with a grin on her face, and as she turned around Linda quickly shouted.
"WAIT!"
Jennifer turned around in shock.
"What?" she said quickly while pacing in the spot.
"Listen, i don't think you should get involved!"
"But.. but why?" Asked jennifer in disbelief
"Well, i have been through the experience before, and believe me, you won't turn out as the hero you expected!"
"How? It's not as if i'm doing anything wrong!" Jennifer said still in disbelief of what Linda is saying.
"Look, when they both find out, you will ruin Mark and Mickys friendship, you will 'cause them both to become single again, you will be looked at as a 'stalker' as they will think you were just TRYING to find reasons to dump Kirsty. And, you can bet your boots that Micky won't want to speak to you again!" said Linda as if she was reading it off of a script.
Jennifer stared at her, and sat back down.
"How do you know this?" asked Jennifer
"Because, when i was your age, no matter how much you wan't to disbelieve it, we used to do things like that aswell, we weren't all making cups of tea and doing our own washing, we had social lifes aswell!" said Linda
Jennifer laughed and then realised the time
"The bus is late" Jennifer said randomly.
"Yeah, it always is, it's not really arriving fashionably late if your arriving late everyday" chuckled Linda.
"Why what are you late for?" asked Jennifer
"Everyday, i go to bowls, and i'm always arriving late, my team once threatened to throw me out, but that was when my appointments were at 1.30, and the train only comes every half an hour, so i arrived atleast 10 minutes late" said Linda "Where are you going anyway?"
"I'm going to meet my friend, but I don't know what we are doing, I don't even know wether she is there or not, she said she'd call me but there has been no sign of her" said Jennifer suddenly feeling let down and confused.
"I'm sure she will call" said Linda.
Jennifer stood up and fixed her coat, Linda turned round and there was the bus, and before they stepped on Jennifer said "Same time tomorrow?", Linda winked and said "You bet!"
