Blue Screen of Sherman Part 4
Saturday, February 17, 2006
It was breakfast at the Morgendorffers. “So I called up Cindy, Kristen, Jenna and Andrea, and the Anime and Programming Clubs are going to take up collections to get safe new goal posts. Like, to honor the dead guy's memory.”

“Quinn, what a wonderful impulse. To make something positive come out of this devastating event.”

“It was Andrea's idea. She's good at this tragic stuff.”

'Good, maybe I'll redirect Jane onto her,' Daria thought. “Have to say, Quinn, it was one of the safe new goal posts that fell on him.”

“I know that, but it's the thought that counts,” Quinn responded. Having finished her breakfast, she got up and left.

“And how do you feel, Daria?” Helen asked.

Daria scowled. “I feel great. How else could I feel? I'm the miserable misanthrope chick! I'm going to Jane's.


At the Lane's, Trent answered to Daria's knock. “Hey, Daria. Janie went running.”

“Oh. Well, I'll see her another time,” Daria said as she turned to leave.

“Scary about Tommy Sherman.”

Daria turned back. “Yeah. You knew him, right?”

“We had a couple classes together. I mean, we didn't see him much. You know, he didn't show up too often.”

“Not like you, huh?”

Trent laughed and coughed “I guess I might have missed a few classes, now that you mention it. Weird thing. Freak accident.”

“Would you say it really makes you think?”

“No,” Trent said.

“Thank you for that.”

“Huh?”

“See ya,” Daria turned to leave.

“Hey, Daria?”

“Yeah.” She turned back.

“You know, it was a while ago that Janie went running. Maybe she came back and I didn't hear her or something. Anyway, why don't you check her room. She might be there.”

“I'll yell up the stairs.” Daria entered the house and went to the foot of the stairs.

“No, umm, sometimes she's got some music on and she can't hear really well. Why don't you just head on up?”

Daria frowned slightly. 'Something's up!' she thought.
