The funeral was about over and everyone was in tears as they buried the body of Amanda Ramirez,everyone but Daniel. This was the one nightmare he will never wake up from, the one thing he can never escape. He held back the tears as he tried being strong and not weak. It was painful to see Amandas casquet go six feet under ground, to never be seen again. Daniel bit his lower lip and felt the tears coming on, but once he looked down to see the sleeping baby girl in his arms, the tears fell out nonstop. This was the last time his love,girlfriend,soon-to-be-wife, would live life with him. He caressed the baby girl and turned away and let the funeral go on without him. It was time to go home and move on, and thats exactly what he did.
It was just another day for Daniel as always he was skateboarding to shcool. The usual routine he did everymorning, but today was different. A girl was walking alone, she was beautiful, long brown hair, pretty brown eyes and the smallest but noticable freckles. Daniel must of been distracted by her because he lacked to notice the big pot hole in front of him. His board crashed in the hole and Daniel, fcae forward, fell onto the hard concrete.
"Crap!,' was all he said before the pretty girl reached him and helped him up.
"Wow! That was quite a fall! Are you okay?," she asked.
What a dumb question to ask an injured person right? He looked up at her and was about to smart mouth her but right when he looked into her eyes he could tell there was great concern in them.
"Yeah Im fine, just a few scarpes and bruises. No biggie," he said with a half hearted smile. His excuse didnt look like it affected her at all. the same concern never left her eyes but still she gave him his space and nodded. He felt like a total douche bag now because he could see the tiny bit of hurt in her eyes. Daniel sighed and stayed quiet for a minute until she turned to walk away. Oh shit he couldnt just let her leave! He quickly catched up to her and grabbed her hand.
"You shouldnt be walking alone you know,"he said as she turned to give him a look. She looked at her hand in his and blushed. It was just to cute that he couldnt help but smile. But just as fast as her smile came it went.
"Are you offering to walk me?" she challenged, and to be honest to him that was kinda hot. Who doesnt like a girl thats got game right? Two can play at this game. Daniel smirked and shrugged walking ahead of her.
"Wait! where are you going?" she cried out after him. He could hear her behind him and knew she was gonna follow. "School i dont know about you though, since you were walking the wrong way" he teased and that just made her blush even more. Damn.
She cocked an eyebrow and shrugged it off. Once again the akward silence hung through the air again. Daniel looked over at her from the corner of his eye and saw she was staring at him. What curiosity she must have to even walk with a total stranger. He could be a total physco path ax murderer and she might not even know it. Not that he is or anything, right?
"My names Amanda by the way" she said and with that she turned to walk inside the gates of hell that we all call school.
