A drop of rain fell from the sky and landed splat on Maddie's head it rolled down her forehead,she wiped it off with the bottom of her sleeve and looked up at the road just that second her bus pulled up at the stop,She tucked the book she had been reading into her bag then ran on to her bus.The sweet smell of rain filled her lungs as she searched around for an empty seat,she spotted a seat right up the back that was free so she pushed her way up there,Maddie placed her bag down and pulled out her book she was read "The Great Gatsby"
by F. Scott Fitzgerald "one of my favourites" said a quiet voice from behind her "excuse me?" She said turning around to face the crinkled face of an elderly lady "the book my dear,F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of my personal favourites" she smiled at Maddie in a way that Maddie could only explain as creepy "oh mind too!" "So good to here the new generations can appreciate good books too.....my dear u wouldn't happen to be interested in house sitting for me?......would you? I have many of
F. Scott Fitzgerald's books that you could read whilst your there.." she asked flattening a crease in her plaid skirt "well actually I have been in need of some-" "work lately" she finished for Maddie "how-how did u know?" "It's my gift"she said with a wink, "here's my address and a key be sure to come over on Sunday morn" she said passing Maddie a rusty old key and a crinkled piece of paper "thank u!" Said Maddie "look dear u better get of u don't want to miss ur stop" she added "it's not my-oh my lord it's my stop how did u...know" she turned away to see the old lady but she was no where to be found,Maddie got of the bus more confused than ever.
