Chapter 3
Ditching School
Alec
Now so many people would have never guessed that Makenna James would ditch school. Even I'm surprised. I usually wouldn't either, but I have finally made a friend who I think will last. Makenna stares out the window as I drive to the store. Honestly I didn't eat breakfast this morning sooo I want breakfast. I turn on the radio and start to flip through the radio stations. Makenna then reaches over and shuts the radio off.
"So what type of music do you like?" She asks.
"I like a lot of Rock music. I'm not really in to any of the Pop crap on the radio. I mean I like a few songs, but not much. What about you?" I ask her.
"Well, I don't really have a specific genre of music I like the best. I listen a lot of different genres. Like rap, punk, rock, a little bit of pop, I guess a little bit of everything." She says as she stares off into space.
"What's your favorite song?" I ask as I pull into the parking lot.
"I will not answer that question because I can not pick just one. How about you? Can you pick just one?" She asks a small smirk appearing on her face.
"No I can. My favorite song is Viva La Vida by Coldplay. Take that!" I say with a laugh.
"I love that song. I have it on my Ipod. We will listen to it when we get back into the car." She says grinning. She opens up her door and gets out of the car. I get out of the car and follow her into the store. "You know what would be amazing?" She asks me.
"What?" I ask.
"If everyone in the world just disappeared for a day and we were the only people on the planet." She says as we walk into the candy section of the store. Her favorite part of the store. We put a ton of candy in the cart and she then runs over to a little girl in a Harry Potter shirt. Oh gosh. "Hi my name is Makenna. Did you loose your mommy and daddy?" She asks.
"Yes. I lost my mommy." The little girl says.
"I'll help you find them, but you have to tell me your favorite Harry Potter character." Makenna says and the little girl giggles.
"Luna is my favorite. She's like me." The little girl says.
"What's your name sweetie?" Makenna asks.
"Lily." The girl says.Makenna grins.
"I'll be back. I'm going to go find Lily's mom. Go find some doritos!!" Makenna says. So Makenna skips away and I go find some doritos. "I'm back to grace you with my presence!!!" Makenna yells.
"You are really good with kids." I say.
"She was too cute to not be nice to." She then gets this look in her eye. "We need spray paint!!!!" She says with a michievous look on her face. She then runs away and I push the cart in the direction she went and she is soon right next to me. "Let's go check out dork." She says putting seven bottles of spray paint in the cart.
"What is the spray paint for?" I ask.
"You'll see. It'll be fun." She says as we get checked out. So we put the stuff in the trunk of my car and we get back in the car. She plugs her Ipod into my car and it starts playing a song.
"Can you stay strong?
Can you go on?
Kristy are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom
Winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying to get back what was taken away."
