Have you ever wondered what it would be like to just disappear into outer space? Away from human life, surrounded by planets, stars ... beauty. I mean, yea you could just disappear into the country or woods. But even there, people will walk past you.
BANG!
"GAH!" A big biology book lands infront of me, bringing me back from my deep thoughts.
"Miss Moore, nice of you to join us." Mrs. Schmitt said, sarcasm showing in her words.
Quickly, I get up and bow. "Ah-, I apologize Mrs. Schmitt, it won't happen again." Once I see her satisfied smirk, I take a seat again.
Everyone is looking at you...
The voice inside my head rings up again. As I look around shyly, I indeed catch a few snicker and glares. Anxious and embarrassed, I pull my glace to the desk, pretending to admire little scribbles and drawings.
Finally the bell rings and the students are dismissed.
After gathering my stuff up, I hurry out of the door, almost bumping into my best friend, Ally.
"River-? Did you Daydream in Miss. Schmitt's class again?" She says, taking my hood off.
Looking around and then up at her, I answered, "that obvious..?"
Together we giggle and head out to the courtyard.
Excited, Ally breaks the silent, "soooo River.. . I know your a huge introvert and all, but-."
It takes a moment for Ally to continue, before she finally breaks the news. "I got tickets to The Vipers Concert, tonight. And I figured we could go?"
Looking Ally up and downz she waits patently for my answer.
I am indeed an introvert... . I hate social interaction, let alone big groups. But Ally has saved my embarrassing life many time's and she has dealed with me since 4th grade. It's time I pay her back and at least try to do something she wants to do.
Sighting, I straighten up.
"Sure, I can try it. BUT, only- if you buy me one of their merch... ."
Squeaking, Ally hugs Me, almost crushing my tiny bones.
"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!"
After calming her down, I head down the street towards my apartment. And once again... I space out.
I just remembered, ya'll are probably confused.
Hey! I'm River and I'm a Nerdy Introvert.
My Friend you just saw, was Ally, short for Allyson. We have been friends since 4th grade, all the way till now... Freshman College. I'm 19 and haven't been to 1 single concert or part in my entire life. Stupid, I know.. .
Well, at least I'm going to one tonight! I can't explain how much I love the Band "Vipers".
Their music is amazing and so good to jamm out to. The singers are about our age too, maybe a few years older or so.
My only problem is... ,I have no idea what to wear to a concert.. .
Beep!
Shrieking, I realize that I almost just walked straight onto an intersection. Quickly, I backed up and took the longer way home. I notice that the sun is starting to set, so I decide to take a bit of a shortcut.. through the alley way.
Tw: harrassment
Rounding the corner I hear a muffled scream. Unsure of what to do, I run toward the sound, only to find Men ganging up on a woman. She lokked in her early 20s and obviously very uncomfortable. Quickly, I stepped in, but not in the way I thought I would.
"Hey Hun!" I said sliding between the Men and laying my arm around the womans waist.
"You said you would only take a minute and here I was waiting on you forever, tsk tsk tsk."
The men look between me and the woman, backing up a little bit.
"Oh- I'm sorry- love. I got held up" She played along, sensing my plan. Giving the Men a quick glance, and looking back at me while closing the distance.
Now it was the cat's turn to play... .
Looking at the Men, I let go of the woman and take a step towards them.
"Held up, huh? What? Wers these boys giving you trouble, baby?" I said with a non too Nice grin.
Finally, one of the guys spoke up.
"Is this your Girlfriend little one?"
Little one...? Oh boi.
"Why yes, she is. Isn't that right?" I said, walking towards her.
Shyly she looks at me and glances towards them with a flirty smile.
"I believe so, my love."
"Hah! Then prove it! For all we know, your just a pretend to be f@get."
One of the guys says, slowly stalking forward.
Now he has officially pissed me off... .
Grabbing her waist, I look into her eyes for any disagreement. And once I can tell she is okay with it.
I kiss her.
