Penny hopped out of the car, and waved goodbye to her friends as they drove off. Camera slung at her side in a case, she walked up to the front door. She had just finished a photo session for the school, getting some pictures of a few interviewees. "Fuck," she said under her breath. Her dad was home. She always hated missing his arrival, because usually he was too worn out to want to say 'hi' or talk about her day. He had already been swamped by her siblings more than likely. Jogging up to the front door, Penny had hoped that she might be able to slip in unnoticed, and then slink up to her room, which was the attic room. However these hopes were dashed as her siblings and father were more or less crowded around the entry area of the house. "Umm, hi Dad..." She said a bit awkwardly, before a smile came across her face and she hugged him tightly. "So how was work?" The girl looked up at him and slowly stepped back. "Besides the usual boring, tired and too long." After seventeen years, Penny had gotten used to her dad's answers.
