Intro: Vanessa (and Michael)
{Vanessa continues getting ready for school . Thanks in part due to her family she's widely recognized and decently popular. And spends a lot of time trying to avoid it. She runs into the kitchen to grab a bagel and out of the corner of her eye she sees Michael Alt sitting on the couch.
She doesn't have any issues with him or anything it's just so weird how much time the man spends around their family. To the point some of her classmates (and a few employees) have taken to calling him her older brother, which he doesn't seem to mind. Whatever, at least her dad has a good employee he can depend on. With as much as he works it's good to have an reliable assistant.
Of course he sees her right as she's made it to the front door.}
Michael: "Ness? Headed to school this early?"
Vanessa: "Yep."
Michael: "Well you need a ride? I'm sure William won't mind if I take a break for that." [no one had any idea how hard it was to call him by name]
Vanessa: "No thanks. I'm good. I'll just walk to school."
Michael: "You're gonna walk? That's a decent walk this early in the morning."
Vanessa: "It's fine. I do it a lot. Not that far and it's nice outside. Perfect weather."
Michael: "But you never know how safe it is out there."
Vanessa: [laughs] "It's Hurricane. Nothing more exciting than the mall happens around here. See you later!"
{She runs out the door missing the strange expression on his face}
