-Cynn
"This one right here?" Hakeem says pulling up to my house. After the police arrived for Johnny's murder, they asked us questions and then let us go. I starred out the window for a long time trying not to reveal my watery eyes. "I know this probably ain't the right time but, I never got your name." He says starring at me. I looked at him and said, "I ... I'm ... invisible". "Yo what you mean by that?" Hakeem says confused. I looked at him and said "Nevermind, forget I said that". "Nah nah, talk about about it ma." he pushed. "Hakeem, you don't even know my name, you probably don't even know we go to school together!" I argued. "Actually, I see you more than you think. You get dropped off right in front of the school, you don't eat breakfast so you go straight to Science, art second period, gym third period, ya don't eat lunch, math fourth, English fifth, history last and you get picked up right on the same spot." He counted off. "How do yo-", "Like I said, I see you more than you think". My jaw was dropped. Hakeem has been watching me all along. "Now, your name is?" He asks. "Cynn, Cynn Valentino." I answer. "Okay Cynn," He says while smiling. Wiping my tears away, I cracked a smile back and asked "Hakeem, can we go to your place? I don't feel safe here". I actually did feel safe at home, I just didn't want to be there. I wasn't gonna get any sleep especially after what I just witnessed and I definitely needed the company. "No thang shorty" He says while starting the car up.
