Light filtered through her bedroom window as she opened her eyes. She had strange dreams throughout the night. She stretched in her bed and rolled over to look at the clock. '8:05, fuck.' She thought as she tried to go back to sleep.
Her mind kept going back to what Sheldon asked her last night. What if she went back to school? What would she even study? She picked up her phone from the side table. It would be 10:05 a.m. in Nebraska if she called now, her dad should be back from farm chores. She dialed and pressed the phone to her ear. It rang twice and then the line picked up.
"Hello?" Her dad answered.
"Hi, Dad. It's Penny."
"Hey Slugger! How is sunny California?" She looked down at her chipped nail polish. He sounded tired.
"Oh y'know, same old, workin' hard. Hey, dad, I was wondering if you still had that money put away from when I went to college." She replied. Her dad was shuffling some papers on the other side of the line.
"Penny, I saved that money for you to go to school. You dropped out and now you want that money for something else? You know we don't have much and I worked very hard for you to get an education." Penny sighed at her father's response.
"Dad, I know what that money is for. I was actually thinking about going back and getting a degree. This whole actress thing isn't working out, so I was hoping you could give your favorite daughter a helping hand." She confessed. Her dad cleared his throat.
"Pen, I'm sorry you're having a rough time. I still have some money put away. If you are serious about puttin' it to good use, I could send it to you." He offered.
"I am serious, I need something more in my life and this is really my only option. Please dad, I need a push." She pleaded.
"Okay Pen, I'll send you the money. I'd better not find out that you gone and spent it on some crazy L.A. spa day or something." She heard him chuckle.
"Thanks, Dad. I love you" She said as she smiled into the phone.
"I love you too, Slugger. And for the record, you're my favorite daughter because you're my baby daughter. We'll speak soon." He concluded.
Her head pressed against her pillow as hung up the phone. 'I think I can actually do this!' She thought. She just had to figure what "this" was. Lazily, she got up and headed toward the shower. After stripping off her pajamas and getting into the tub, she turned on the taps and let the warm water engulf her body.
She would have to get a student loan to pick up the additional costs, and she also had to figure out what she wanted to pursue for her degree. Her hair lathered up quickly and her thoughts washed away with the thick vanilla scented suds. She ran the soap bar over her curves and lathered up her soft skin.
Her mind started to wander to her neighbors blue eyes. Seriously, when did they ever look that deep? When was Sheldon ever that nice? When she thought about his eyes she felt like she was drowning in the ocean. How could she have never noticed them before?
She imagined staring into his amazing eyes and his hands cupping the sides of her face to pull her into a soft kiss. As the water trickled down her back she imagined they were Sheldon's hands gently caressing her. She felt her stomach fill with butterflies and uncertainty.
She quickly realized that she was fantasizing about Dr. Crazy next door. 'What the crap was that about, Penny?' Her mind screamed at her. She turned down the heat in her shower and quickly finished up in the bathroom.
She got dressed and turned on her laptop. She spent about an hour looking at programs that she could start in just over three weeks at Pasadena City College. After deciding that she enjoyed working with people; she also loved buying things, so she decided to enroll into the marketing program.
With those credentials, she could get a job at any number of marketing firms in L.A. Maybe she would run the head of a huge ad campaign one day. She was very excited and decided that she would wait until she was accepted before she shared her news with anyone.
Luckily she had the day off, so she began to day dream about school. Last time she was in school, she was eighteen years old and chasing boys around school. That took over her studies and she began to fail her courses. She met Kurt and they left for California together.
This time it would be different. She wasn't a naïve, little girl anymore, she could distance herself from boys this time around and she was prepared to focus on her studies. Maybe she would adopt Dr. Whack-a-Doodle's practice of ignoring her "baser urges". "Penny keeping it in her pants? Yeah right!' She giggled at the thought.
Her school girl fantasies were interrupted by Sheldon's infamous knock. After the final round of three knocks followed by her name, she opened her door to see her neighbor standing there.
"Hello Penny." Sheldon said as he covered his throat with his arm.
"Good morning, Sheldon. What's up?" She replied cheerfully. He looked her over to observe her overall demeanor. He concluded that she seemed approachable and cheery, so he moved his arm back down to his side. Penny suppressed a giggle because to someone who wasn't fluent in Sheldonese, they would have mistaken his eyes raking over her as him, checking her out.
"Penny, as you know, we are friends, and as your friend, I am just merely "checking up on you", so to speak." He offered a quick smile and she mirrored his expression.
"Thank you, sweetie, I really appreciate it. I'm sorry for unloading on you last night. I know that kind of stuff isn't really your thing. I feel ten times better today." She apologized.
Sheldon's gaze moved past her face and to her laptop that was sitting on the coffee table. He squinted and saw the city's college website open on the screen.
"Penny, why do you have the Pasadena City College website open on your laptop?" He asked. She glanced over her shoulder and back to his expectant expression. She grabbed his wrist and pulled him into her apartment.
"Shhh, Sheldon, don't say that too loud!" She hissed.
Closing the door, she brought him over to the couch. He sat down beside her and glanced at his wrist. She still had a firm grasp on it. He wanted to disinfect it immediately, but he had to admit that her hands were soft and her touch was not unwelcome. She followed his eyes and saw that she was still touching him. She pulled her hand away and clutched it to herself as if she had been burned.
"Sorry." She sheepishly said. Sheldon blankly stared at her in confusion.
"Penny, why am I sitting on your couch and why did you "Shush" me?" Sheldon inquired. She noticed he was looking at her quizzically. She looked at her laptop and thought 'Well, the cat's out of the bag.'
"Sweetie, look, I didn't want to tell anyone yet because I'm afraid I won't get in, but I've applied to the college's marketing program. What you said last night, I really took to heart and I'm just sick of going nowhere. Can you keep this a secret?" Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"That's wonderful, Penny!" Sheldon exclaimed. "However, you know how I feel about keeping secrets. I don't think it is reasonable for you to ask me to keep this secret based on an ex-post-facto basis. You remember what happened last time you engaged me in the covenant of secret keeping and then Howard gave me that funny tasting milk." Penny looked at him and rolled her eyes.
"Sheldon, c'mon, you don't even have to say anything, because no one is going to ask about it!" She complained. He let out an exasperated sigh.
"Fine. I will try my best to keep your secret, however I don't think this is something that is secret worthy. You shouldn't be embarrassed about this." He shifted in his seat and stood up. "Have a pleasant day." Sheldon concluded as he strode towards her door.
"Wait!" She cried. He turned around to face her. She looked up at him and quickly rose up on her toes and kissed him on the cheek. Sheldon froze and he looked terrified.
"Thank you, Sheldon, you're a great friend." She said. He quickly turned and opened her door.
"You're welcome, Penny." He quietly said. With that he strode across the hall and disappeared into his apartment. She sighed and closed her door.
