Serenity tried to stay calm while sitting at the table. She tried to listen clearly to her parents conversation with the neighbors. "So, um Serenity, what have you been doing lately?" Ben asked as he looked at Serenity. She was still eating her macaron. "Nothing you would care about Ben." Serenity was looking down at her lap. She fiddled with her fingers nervously. She knew her parents would never just invite guests over randomly. Something odd was going on.
"Have you seen that terribly boring town?" Ben asked. "It's so old and disgusting."
"It isn't a bad town Ben." Serenity replied with a slightly angry voice "If you went there you would know."
Serenity continues to listen to the conversation between Ben's parents and her own. Suddenly shock washed through her. She realised that they were planning a marriage for her and Ben. In utter horror, Serenity made a point to control her facial expressions and emotions of hatred.
"May I be excused? I need to use the bathroom" sher voice was nervous and a bit shaky.
"Of course dear" Olivia said
Serenity quickly walked to the bathroom to get away from everybody. She locked herself in the bathroom and nearly started to cry from the thought of being married to Ben. She imagined how horrible her life would be, how many things she would be forced to do. Serenity sat in the bathroom for the rest of the time. Eventually' the guests left. When Serenity came out of the bathroom she sent to her room by her angry parents.
