YOUNG VOLCANOES

four

"This is not happening" I tell myself as I cross my arms over my chest.

Like if this was just a horrible nightmare and I could have the hope of waking up from.

Spoiler alert: I don't.

I just wanted to get some vegemite.

Now I was cold,alone and helpless with barely clothes on.

Every step I made resulted in the sound of water splashing from my body to the ground. The only thing the douches had left behind where my black converse (witout socks). How considerate of them.

My arms are crossed in front of my chest as I walk. I'm trying to create some warmth whilst looking down. The wind keeps blowing and it doesn't help. I put ob my Converse; cringing at the fact that I'm putting them on without socks and soaking them with water.

"Cold. Cold. Cold. Cold" I curse as I walk.

Around the lake there are some trees that once you get pass lead to a street.

I need to observe my options:

A. Walk towards the street and hope someone gives a wet and naked girl a lift home.
B. Find a shop or house nearby with kind enough people to help me.
C. Become a mermaid and live in the lake.

As much as I want to choose C, I go for B.

I really don't want to go to the street and ask for a lift while only wearing a black bra and hello kitty panties.

Around the lake there are some shops. The kind of shops where you find fishing materials and such.

Farther away I could see a little house. It was on the top of a little hill. The lights where on and I could kind of see a figure standing out front.

I walk for some more minutes and I notice it's a sweet old lady watering her plants. Her house is a little farther off of the lake. But the hill has the most beautiful view of the lake.

I admire it for a few seconds. It's a pretty lake.

"Good evening, I happen to be stuck in a problem and I was wondering if you coul-" I'm cut off by her spraying me with cold water from her hose.

I scream and the water dies down.

"You crazy teenagers are always appearing naked in my front yard" she scowls.

I spit the water that entered my mouth.

"Not by choice!. Some college kids made me undress and jump in the lake" I defend myself

"Young lady, you where the retarded one who did it." she glares at me and then goes back to watering her yellow petunias.

My mouth falls open. How could an old lady (whom likes petunias) be so rude?. My mouth is still hanging open and my eyebrows are furrowed.

And once again she sprays me with cold water.

"Get lost, kid" she says.

I cross my arms on my chest once again and turn around. I was really upset now.

My legs keep moving just because I want to get far from her water hose.

But I don't even know where to go. Plan A, I guess.

I reach the street but it looks abandoned. I scan my brain for ideas but I can only walk or wait for a car to pass by. I sit on the side of the road in lazyness.

It's a windy night and the trees at both side of the street are tall and creepy. The trees constantly creaking because of the wind. It bothered me because I live in freaking california. California is supposed to be palm trees and sunshine all the time not look like a scene from silent hill.
