CHAPTER 2: Little Talk

----------------

     Class was suspended because of that, but that didn't stop me from making up an excuse to escape from home and meet up with Penny. She had agreed almost immediately, for she knew just how much the story intrigued me and that I'm practically as reckless as a rock when it comes to these kind of things. We met up at her place at 3pm since it was quieter than ours and the privacy was good.

"Did you know about the headless rider before it was even here?" She started as we sat down on the floor.

     I was opening a pack of chips while I replied, "I've read about it." 

"No wonder you knew what to say when Klyde brought up the topic,"

     I laughed, passing her the chips as I got some for myself in my hands, "I guess so, but I was just as surprised as you,"

"Honesty, I wasn't surprise," Penny gave me a grin and I raised a brow at her. Her grin went wider, "Because I didn't hear the topic,"

"You and your earphones!" I rolled my eyes and lightly punched her on the shoulder. 

     She turned on the radio and we spent the next 3 hours trolling on life and whoever was part of it. It was worth the while and I made sure she didn't notice that I had my brain in multitasking mode. That involves giving my usual retorts and opinions that made her laugh her head off and spacing out when the topic was not my interest. The other half of my brain was already processing a plan for whatever I was anticipating.

"I better go," I stated after she took the CD that we had just watched out of the player, and she looked at me, surprised.

"Early today?"

     I shrugged, picking up the litters on the floor and shoving them in the plastic bin.

"What are you gonna do?"

    I looked back and met her innocent look, as if she doesn't know me well enough, "There's no classes for a week right?"

"I wanna meet him," I replied with a smile, "I'll be making some arrangements, if you know what I mean,"

    I heard her sigh as I turned around to take the rest of my things and shove them in my bag, "Yeah I do. You want me to come along?"

"Friday, 9:30 pm. School's waiting shed."
