I hid in the slide then put my hood on. I looked down at my hands and looked at scars and blood covering my-use to be- pink,red palms. Too much pain to go back,too much sadness floating in the air,the look of stressfulness on everyone's faces,it hurts to go back to a family who isn't a family.
"Excuse me?"
I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at a guy with black curly hair.
"I saw you running,is everything alright?"
" Yes I'm fine. Thank you for asking." I replied.
"Are you sure? Do you need anything?"
" No,just some time alone that's all."
He nodded his head then walked away. I crossed my legs and looked out into the distance.
"I'm really sorry to bother you,but do you need someone to talk to?"
" You don't wanna hear my horror stories."
"Yes,I really would like to."
" Why are you so interested?"
"We may have things in common. I'm Jalen by the way."
I nodded my head.
"The name's Aaliyah."
" It's nice to meet you Aaliyah,so let's hear those horror stories."
"I'm not going to tell you anything."
" What?....Why?
" I don't know you,you could be a serial killer."
Jalen smiled.
" I assure you I'm not a serial killer."
" Who are you then?"
" I'm glad you asked. I'm Jalen Johnson ,the dreamer who dreamed of being a traveler/writer. What about yourself?"
I sighed.
" I'm Aaliyah,the low self-esteem ,ugly,horrible girl who doesn't have dreams. *mumbles* probably doesn't even believe in dreams."
" Whoa,bring the negativity level down. You're very beautiful."
" No I'm not. "
Jalen sighed.
" You wanna go somewhere?"
" Like where?"
Jalen smiled again.
" Some place fun."
