ーHAVING a light skip
to your walk, you practically were bouncing off the broken pavement on the sidewalk as your scuffed up converse left muddy footprints in its wake. The light scorched your back with its bright flames. Using your arm as a barrier from the almost unbearable light, you saw an elderly couple moving books out of their lot and into the driveway. Seem like a, what was the name again? A sale? No, that doesn't seem right. Hmm... Oh! It's a Yard Sale!
Those were always fun to go to. You could find the smallest of beautiful trinkets. Unlike other people, you always seemed to enjoy the more stranger things, well, that's what people say. You never paid their mocking remarks any mind.
Continuing with the light skip in your steps, you finally made it to the entrance of the driveway. Overlooking the objects and furniture, you found some old boxes filled with books and piles of much thicker books next to them. Not sure if you could look through them, seeing as the elderly couple were still taking out things from their home, you just waited.
"Oh, sweetie, are you interested in anything here?"
"Yeah, I was wondering if I could take a look at the books?" it came out more like a question, instead of a statement.
She just said it was more than fine, she and her partner were looking to get rid of the books anyways. Passing by the rows of trinkets and objects, you picked up one of the thicker books. Wiping off the dust from the cover, you wiped your hand clean on your trousers, seeing as they were already dirty with mud anyways.
Engrossed in the piece of literature you found, you hadn't noticed that a boy and his friend were coming full speed at you. Book being jerked out of your hands, you almost stumbled. Flexing your back a bit, seeing as it hurt from the impact, you looked at the two boys. Both had different shades of blue hair. You went and picked up the fallen book.
