Excerpt
from: Daria in the Background
1111 Glen Oaks Lane; 7:34 PM
The Morgendorffers were having their dinner late, as
Helen had stayed late at work, hoping to impress upon the Partners that she was
a hard worker.
“…Then they asked me to join the pep squad. They said I
didn't have to try out, but I said, "Look, I'm new here. Give me a chance
to get used to things." So, for now, I'm vice president of the Fashion
Club, and that's it,” Quinn said.
“Sounds like a like a well-thought out decision, honey,”
Jake said.
“As long as you can join pep squad later, if you want.
Never know how much we can handle till we try, though,” Helen added.
“What about you, Daria? How was your first day?”
Daria sighed. “Well, my history teacher called on me as
soon as I entered the class, but there are some interesting idiots in it.”
“That’s great!” Jake said.
‘What?’ Helen thought. ‘Jake!’
“I mean…” Jake began as he tried to correct what he just
said.
Helen interrupted. “Daria, your father's trying to tell
you not to judge people until you know them. You're in a brand-new school in a
brand-new town. You don't want it to be Highland all over again.”
“Not much chance of that happening... unless there's
uranium in the drinking water here, too.”
“I'm talking about you making a friend or two. Don't be
so critical. Give people the benefit of the doubt.”
“You’re saying that It all boils down to trust?” Daria
asked.
“Exactly. It all boils down to trust. Show a little
trust.”
Daria looked thoughtful.
‘She needs to understand that being in that shell doesn’t
help her,’ Helen thought. The dinner continued without incident.
Lawndale High School; October 1, 10:23 AM
Art Class was interesting. Daria knew she didn’t have any
real talent in the subject. She knew that her strengths lay elsewhere.
