Caged Silence

(Two)

"Hey, are you okay? I'm really sorry..." I was stunned not because I was almost hit but because I saw the most beautiful being I've ever laid my eyes on. 'Wow' that's all I could say, in my head that is.

"hello, you okay? You seem spaced out." the beauty told me. I just stared at her. Not weird at all. She seemed to noticed that I was just staring at her. I averted my eyes from her and she cleared her throat.

"... um I'm sorry I almost run you over, it's just that I was in a hurry. "she said.I smiled and motioned to her its okay, and turned around to show her that I'm all good. I saw the bus at the stop and I pointed to it to show the woman I need to go before it left.

"Maybe if you don't mind let me give you a lift it's the least I can do since I almost ran you over...." she trailed off. I gave her a sceptic look, she noticed the look.

"it's all in good faith I swear," she said. I nodded and motioned for her to lead the way,I mean it can't hurt right!? Plus I really need to save money if I want to get out if that hell hole I call home.

We made it to her car, she said I can get in the passenger seat;no shit Sherlock as if I can drive your car. I really can't help my sarcasm sometimes and it's not as if I will talk and tell her that after all she was helping me besides I was also at fault I was not watching where I was going.

I got in the car and she followed in the driver's seat. I buckled up my seat belt, I mean I don't wanna die in a strangers car, although at the back of my mind I really wished she had hit me. Out of habit I pulled my sleeves, can't have her see those lines, now can we? I noticed we were not moving and I looked at her with a questioning look.

"I don't know where you live and I didn't want to interrupt your thoughts,I need your address." she said. I took out my writing pad and wrote my adress, she copied it to her GPS in her car and she started the car.

During the ride,she made small talk, for instance I found out her name is Percy, she recently finished college with a degree in psychology and biology and is a new counselor at my school and my biology teacher,I mean what are the odds of her working the school and giving me a ride home and also living in the same place as me;Wonderful.

I told her little bit about me, correction wrote to her about me,my name and school I go to, yeah just that I mean what more could I tell
her?but she seems nice.

We finally reached the community. The gates opened and we made it to our front gate.I was really dreading to inside knowing what's awaiting me inside. She seemed to notice my sudden mood change;of course she did, she is a psychologist for a reason.Thank God she did let it go, because I was not about to pour my heart out.

I wrote her 'Thank you for the ride' she nodded and made it out of her vehicle, I waited till she left and made my way inside the gate and towards the house. 'I really hope he's not home' as if bad luck is always following me.

"Who was that? You really have no shame, do you?" John said, before I could even fully lock the door I was punched in my stomach.
