______________________________________
The day I met Daniel was the most bittersweet day of my life. I sat on an old bench in the front of the park with my legs straight across the bench so no one else could sit I read my newest book called 'winners' and shuddered from the chilly air. It was it was coming to the end of winter basically the start of spring ; and the leaves and plants were starting to grow . The sun peaked through the crystal white clouds and the vibrant blue of the sky was cheerful . All of this came but the cold remained. I had my thick grey coat on zipped up to the top and covering my whole body except for my leather black boots which kept my feet warm. I stared intensely at the book feeling sympathy for the main character ,Lily, as she had recently lost her legs in an accident .My attention solely on the book.
Some random guy with brown eyes , hair and pale skin , walked up to me and said politely "excuse me miss , can I sit down please?"
I took a quick glance up from my book , rudely interrupted from my reading, and looked back down again .
" Sure" I replied, not moving. He waited patiently for a few seconds then asked with an expectant look, "Well aren't you going to put your legs down?"
"Um no" I answered still reading my book.
"Then how am I meant to sit then?"he said with a hint of irritation.
"You tell me ,I'm not the one with the problem."
"Well clearly you haven't looked in the mirror lately." Now my concentration was totally broken.
"How would you know, do you stalk me ?"
"I wouldn't waste my time on a outcasted tramp like you!"
"Why you describing your mum to me?"
"What do you know about my mother!" He looked at me straight in the face with an enraged look.
"Much more than you now about modern society. Because nobody calls their mom 'mother' any more, but wait , you didn't know that did you?"
"Well your one to talk with your Oxfam donated coat" he retorted
I stopped for a second and then reluctantly gave in .
"Fine, son of a tramp, take your stupid bench."
And I lifted my legs stood up and kicked him in the stomach. I heard the satisfiying sound of him grunting in pain. Then I grabbed my book and strolled out of the park with my head held high.Two days later I visited the park again and saw one of my friends Geoff with another person with their back to me , I assumed he was just another friend of his . Then Geoff saw me and waved
"Hey over here" he shouted. I quickly ran to him.
When I reached them I greeted "Hey Geoff who's your friend"
At that moment his friend turned to face me; I recognised his smug face . "Hello I'm Daniel."
Daniel? I mentally thought , and nearly sniggered out loud." And your name is?" He said while offering his hand to me .
"You don't need to know" I felt Geoff nudge my in the ribs and whisper "be nice." , but I just ignored him and ran off towards a small dark alley which led to my flat 2 minutes away. I heard Geoff shouted "Hope , where are you going ?" and footsteps follow behind me ,which I assumed were his. I took the wrong turn and was led to a dead end , I stopped and faced the wall. I felt a hand on my shoulder and started talking " I'm sorry but I can't hang around with that tramp".
"That almost offended me you know but it's my turn" my eyes widened with horror and I turned to be faced to faced with the tramp. He gave my a wicked smile and raised his fist to my face......
