There she stood, hair on her shoulders and hands on her side. She watched the people run and she wondered why.. "Why are they in a hurry? Why?" She started walking while looking around and she saw the busy streets and the busy lights of the city. She followed the crowd and on her tracks she saw the faces of different people, some she knew and some were not but seems like they didn't see her. More like, she's invisible. She was about to talk to them but a cellphone ring stopped her. She watched her pick up her phone and answered. "What? Where? I'm coming." In just one second, she run towards the direction of the crowd. Again, she wondered.
As she got closer and closer to the crowd, she heard the loud siren of an ambulance coming through. There were cops on the side, people gossiping on what happened. She walks closer to the scene and heard a guy said, "I saw what happened, this girl was like wandering around alone. She was following the stray cat, then suddenly the cat crossed the road and she did too but there was a bus! I was about to shout at her but it was too late." She felt bad for the girl, she thought "Maybe she is just like me, she got curious about where the cat will go. Maybe she just wants to know something new. Maybe she is just lost and looking for her way home." She was almost there, only the yellow tape separates them. She was about to go but she saw the girl lying down on the floor, blood coming out from her head but that's not what made her stop... She was the girl.
A loud honk woke her.
Heavy panting, that's what she's doing. She felt like someone choke her. She looked around and found herself sitting in one of the benches near her mom's office. Just like in her dreams. Deja vu, she thought as she found a stray cat looking at her. The cat meowed at her, she smiled and followed the cat as it crossed the road and a loud honk is the last thing she heard..... and she woke up on the same bench.
