maybe not so alone

I jump a little extremely startled "Oh I'm sorry I thought I was alone" I state
"no no you're fine!" The shadowy figure walks toward the street lamp I was under as they got under the light I realized they were actually really pretty "Can I sit?" They ask pointing to the extra space on the bench "sure" I say.

after a few seconds in uncomfortable silence they speak up, "Ellie" she says holding out her hand for me to shake. "What?" I say wiping the already drying tears. "Oh my name, Eillie" she states again "oh uh Alice" I say shaking her hand

"not trying to be rude or anything but d-do I know you?" I ask furrowing my eyebrows "Oh no" she laughs "we go to school together but you've probably never noticed me" she says shaking her head. No no I'm sure she must be lying, I would have noticed her being in the same building as me, I know everyone.

"Oh are you new?" I ask, she nods her head "yeah kinda I just moved here a few months ago" she says as she awkwardly scratches the back of her neck " Wait you moved in the middle of the school year? What caused the urgency?" I asked not sure if I was asking something too personal.

"Oh no reason my parents just really like to travel" she says, but I can tell she's lying by the way that she looked away from me. "Oh.." I say as the silence engulfs the night for the second time tonight. "Well I better head home otherwise my parents will be worried, shouldn't you be heading back too? Won't your parents be worried? It's getting late." She says breaking the silence

"oh no I think I'll stay out a little longer but thanks for the concern" I say with it sounding a little more sarcastic than I meant.

" Oh okay well be safe out here alright?" She says. I just nod my head waiting for her to finally leave me alone.

After a few seconds she walks away her figure getting smaller and smaller the further she got until I couldn't see anything at all. I was tired of crying so I put my earphones in as I listened to music and fell asleep.
