You Can't Be Safe With Me

Cuts

Keneth P.O.V

I don't know why this girl is there frozen...oh well.

She sticks her hand out for a hand shake. But she doesn't realize my hands are behind my back because they're cuffed.

I reach both of my hands out and shake her with them. She just stares at me shocked and suprised. I start to laugh.

"My names Keneth, hehe. I'm sorry I'm kinda in a cuffed situation. What's your name?"

"Uh, *shakes head, clears throat* My names Shila! I see that haha, are you going to the school bus? Or the prison bus?"

"Hey, calm your jokes, you don't know what you could get yourself into. Plus, I'm going to the school bus. I'm excited but at the same time im not."

"Right, sorry. You're not excited? Why? I am!"

Shila sits down on the side of the side walk with her feet on the road looking up at me with confusion. I look down at her and give her a half smile with a short glance. I look up at the road and it starts to pour rain in just a matter of seconds.

"Look kid. Im always as excited as you are but just not this year. Its just something that's happened my whole life. Okay? If I could I would tell you but we don't have time."

Shila just looks down at the road where her feet are and then suddenly both our phones ring.

I grab my phone with both of my hands and its the school transportation system. I pick up, and just listen

"Hello? Hello, hello. Um, this goes to all highschool students in the area of sealiar district. All the buses of the district won't show up today, due to the last minute rain storm. So I'm sorry students but you either walk or take a ride. School will continue, thank you and have a great day. *Sigh* "who the fuck am I Kidding I don't want to see that freak again."

Shila hangs up her phone while I hang mine up too. She just looks up with a smile and a face of curiousity.

"Looks like we have enough time if we walk, I mean I'm pretty sure you have no one to drive you due to your *clears throat* cuffs.."

"Huh. Fine, I'll tell you but we will take the long way to school because I don't want to go." Shila stands up and starts to walk behind me.

"Its every year that this happens. Im always cuffed on the first few weeks because of my mentality."

"What do you mean? You seem fine to me?"

"Not to everyone. Kid, I live in a mental hospital. I live there for a reason. I'm insane kid. Straight up insane. I have these cuffs for a reason. I have lived there for almost 10 years now. When I was 7 I was transfered from an orphanage to an asylum. The one about 12 minutes away from the bus stop. I grew up around 'round trunks' they don't have a face. There face is some type of round trunk that makes a weird sound everytime they breathe, and when they use some type of gas to force me asleep they fill my padded cell with it but it doesn't affect them. They just stand and stare at me while I doze off into sleep." Shila just sits and stares at me confused. She looked as if I said something stupid shes never heard before...
