My ''wake up'' music started playing but I had no intention of going to school. I worried too much for that girl. I don't know why, but it felt like I'm supposed to be her guardian angel. I'm going to play that role right. I don't want to fuck up again.
"Jason, you said you'd pick me up! It's raining and I have to walk for a half an hour?! What's up with that?! Oh God I'm sorry I jelled. You must have a good excuse. Are you okay?"
"I'm sorry, Soph. I'll pick you up in 5. But I'm not going to school. Please have my back in class and say that I'm sick. I'll explain everything when I see you."
"Okay, bye."
Oh God, now I need to get dressed in 2 minutes. I forgot that her boyfriend's car is ruined. I mean he also has a motorcycle but Sophie doesn't like it when he speeds up. She's afraid he would get them both killed.
BEEP! BEEP! Why is she taking so long? I've been waiting here for whole 5 minutes.
Oh, finally! I thought she will never show up.
"I'm really sorry, Jason. Let's go.", she sat in my car.
"What were you doing, girl? I thought you won't show up."
"I just had to put on my waterproof makeup. It takes a lot of work to look that good, you know?"
God damn, who could blame her. She really looks good today. Well actually her dark brown eyes always make me melt.
"Hahaha, what will I do with you, Soph?" I playfully shook my head.
She laughed, her white teeth showing: "Jason, don't make me slap you."
"No, no, please don't. Those muscles would kill me!"
"They surely would!"
She's so fun to be with. She always makes me laugh when I think I will never smile again.
After a minute of silence she asked: "So, my excuse is makeup, what's yours?
"Well I saw a girl being hit by her boyfriend yesterday, so I stood up for her and carried her to the hospital. Her condition was very bad. Her lip was bleeding and I didn't have tissues with me to wipe the blood, running down her innocent face. She almost passed out on me! It was tragic! Now she's in the hospital for a few extra days so they can keep an eye on her. I'm going to visit her."
"Wow, Jason! That's really sweet, but why are you doing this? You don't even know her."
"It feels like I'm supposed to be her guardian angel, Soph. I mean her boyfriend is a real asshole, so he surely won't play that role."
I stopped the car in front of school and I had to promise Sophie I will come pick her up from school. I hope I don't forget it again.
