Big eyes

Chapter 3

I was sitting on the path like a homeless person and it was raining heavily. So much fun... I must be damn lucky that a random stranger in the car stopped here. I was waiting for the kind person to come out of the vehicle. The door opened and a thin long leg with elegant pink pumps came out.

"Hello, again." smiled the woman I know but couldn't figure out her name.

I was silent for a while trying to find out who is that person. Come on! Do I have an Alzheimer's?!

"G-good afternoon... Mrs..." I can't figure it out, so I was just awkwardly starring at the woman. "Murphy!" I said loudly.

"Well. That was loud." she said surprised and confused in the same time.

"Sorry, I forget names so easily." I giggled. It's a lie.

"Come in." she gave me a sign with her hand, in order to let me go inside the red vehicle.

"Thank you for saving me from that terrible weather." I felt embarrassed, since all my clothes was wet.

"Haha, your welcome." her laugh was so sweet and soft. "So where do you live?"

"Turn left and after 3 kilometers turn left again." I have never given that much personal information.

"I live just one street further!" she said.

"Really?"

"Yes." she smiled.

Now I know who is that new teacher living next to Angela... Jesus, it will get worse. My weird teacher is also my bff's neighbour.

The whole journey was pretty awkward because both of us were silent. I would have said something if I knew her better. What would you talk about with your teacher? Thanks to the radio, our not existing conversation didn't get to the level of super awkwardness. Katy Perry and Lady Gaga saved us!

We arrived at the street so I showed Mrs Murphy where is my house. I hope she won't burgle it or something. Lol. She looks like she's able to do it.

"See you tomorrow at school Alexa."

"Goodbye and thank you so so much." I said thankfully.

"You're welcome, I can drive you home anytime you want, just tell me. Bye!" she left as I closed the door.

Wait. What? She remembers my name? Wow, that must mean she likes me. People won't remember your name after the first time they meet you unless they find you impressive.

I took off my wet clothes and made a fruit tea. It got cold really quickly and I don't want to be ill at the begging of this school year. I covered my cold body with a big blanket.

I was home alone, so I had nothing to do. I turned on the TV and watch some movies, but I couldn't concentrate. I was still thinking about Mrs Murphy and how she surprised me today.

Teachers don't help students. They are happy that they don't have to see them longer than 7 hours per day. And I thought she is also like one of these teachers . However, I was wrong, which is good, since it makes me look at her from a different point of view. From the positive point of view.

My parents arrived home at 5 and then I went to the gym. My mind was constantly filled with thoughts about my new school and... Of course Murphy. She's such an interesting human being.
