As soon as we stepped into the car Rebecca turned towards me and said excitedly ''She's one of the gays too!''. Skye and I burst into laughter,as Skye makes some remark about how subtle she just was. '
-'You know,you usually introduce people by saying their names.''Skye says jokingly.
-''Okay then,'unusual name that I forgot ' meet Sky and Hope.You guys,meet 'untIf '. ''
Rebecca and the girl start a conversation as I sit in the back seat,trying not to blink so I don't miss a thing-the buildings and the street art is really good here. I really like the songs that are played in this car,but I strangely don't recognize any of them. In the beginning I sat in silence because I was shy,but now I am just enjoying it.Only once before has silence been this comfortable and soothing.It was the night that I sat next to the fire that we lit in front of the cabin on the beach. Many things were going on,and I was just 15. Life shot a lot of bullets at me,but that night I wasn't bleeding,that night I was just another person in the world. I looked up at the stars above me.I was in awe with the way the full moon reflected on the surface of the sea. I could hear the crackling of the fire,feel the warm waves of air hugging me. Nothing felt as heavy.For a moment,I realized I was just another person out of many that are out there,one out of even more that were and that will be.

So,yes. It was plain ol' me,just sitting in a car. Nothing more to it-it wasn't extravagant,it wasn't expensive or glamorous. It was just me,a girl who just so happened to really need this dumb car ride.A girl who really needed too see that everything isn't as bad as it may have seemed,because at least in this very moment,I can't even remember anything that was troubling me before. My mind is blank in the most beautiful way ever as I enjoy the careless moment of Skye and Rebecca humming the song that was playing.
The girl pulls up and unlocks the doors,we say our thanks and goodbyes.As I'm opening the door the mysterious girl says:'' I won't remember your name,but I sure will remember your face'' I close the door and say ''good enough'',than glance back to see her looking at me . Before we even reach the apartment door I realize that the girl will probably remember more of me than do of her since I don't even remember her name let alone her face as I didn't even look at her directly..I was shy,okay? I know,I know,my smoothness level is too much to handle.
-Later that day-
I grab the notebook I bought a few days ago and write down the jobs I want to apply for. Rob and Skye gave me some suggestions earlier and I apply for some jobs online, I'm planning to go apply to a few in person tomorrow too.But I've had enough excitement in one day,and the only adventure I can handle tonight is the one that comes from the TV screen.
