Teenagers think they know it all. The world is their playground, and that is just what Lisa thought. Despite her motheras disapproving ways, Lisa was destined to do what she wanted, and that was intertwining her arms with a man two years her senior. It was just a dance; what harm could there be? She couldnat understand her mom; she was stupid. Lisa just wanted them all to accept her for who she was: a grown girl who could make her own decisions. Besides, it was just a dance and what could happen at a simple dance? Because she knew her mom didnat care and fighting would get her nowhere, Lisa ran away to prove a point. Lisa was right about everything, at least on how she felt. Then it happened; on her journey to freedom, she met an old, haggard-looking lady at the bus stop. The place changed Lisa and her life, forever.
