8:30
Shit I'm late. I quickly grab my jacket and backpack and sprint to the   nearest bus. I take out the money to pay the driver. A sudden gust of wind come by and catches the money in my hand. I chase after it. The wind stops and I grab the money from the floor. As I head back to the bus, two people, looking quite suspicious, catch my eye. I just barely catch  them exchange a small bag and money. One of them leaves. The other meets my eyes. His hard, solid deep set, chocolate eyes stare at me as though he can see through me. I get on the bus, pay the driver and look back to where the mysterious guy was at, but when I look back he was no longer there.As the day went on, I seemed to be distracted. My classes seemed to go by fast. My mind kept going back to the guy I saw in the morning. Something about him seemed different... The bell rang for dismissal. I quickly went to the bus, paid the driver and sat at the very back. I sat on the driver side. I looked out the window with my earbuds in listening to music. The bus stopped and someone came on the bus. I looked up and saw him. The guy from this morning. He paid the driver and stayed standing up. Hanging on to the string on top of the bus. I stared at him. Studying him from behind. His head was buzzed short,where the hood of his sweatshirt dropped I saw a tattoo creeping up his neck.he must've felt my gaze because, his head turned a bit. I could see him looking at me from the corner of his eye. He turned back and started walking all the way back to the front. The bus stopped and he got off. I watched him pull his hood over his head and walk into an empty alley. The bus started to move again and before I knew it he disappeared into the shadows.the bus continued on.one,two,three more stops until it was my turn to exit.I got off the bus and started walking home. It started to suddenly get cloudy and began to drizzle. The air turning a bit too humid for my liking. I was half sprinting by the time I got home.  I took off my jacket and took a quick shower. I went downstairs to grab a snack. I heard something move in the living room..  "Jamie?" I called out to my dog. She came from behind the sofa and ran towards me. Little feet going pitter patter against the tile.I smiled at her and scratched behind her ear. I went up to bed and sat on it to finish my homework. When I had finally finished typing my essay,I gazed I've to the clock. It was getting late and I had called it a night. I snuggled in between the sheets and turned off the lamp beside me. I fell asleep to the sound of heavy rain but...my mind  began drifting off to the mystery guy I saw today.       I was wandering around the city when I looked across the street I saw him I felt happy.a smile graced my lips but, taking in the hard look on his face and guarded stance My eyes traveled to his hands one clenched in a fist,the other holding a gun.terror.I began to run but my legs felt heavy suddenly I fall. Rolling  onto my back I see the dark barrel of a gun pointed at me. I see dark brown eyes,he frowns down at me     -bang!-
