More Than a Close Encounter

Wait What!?

My eyes burned into the clock. Waiting, watching until the final bell rings. ignoring the teacher as I already knew what X was. It was a long day. But seconds before it ended, my phone got a text and I quickly got it out. It's from Tom, my driver.

Tom: I got a new car, it's the red fancy one

I respond.

Me: Thx 4 telling me

Tom: np

The bell rings, I race out of the classroom with my books. I run to my locker, almost passing it, and shove them in. I don't have a lock because no one would even dare touch it, because if they do my parents would get them suspended. How? Because our family's the richest in Jasper, Nevada. I plug in my headphones and turn on some tunes. I look out to see one fancy red car. I quickly get in, not paying much attention, and roll down the window. It takes a second but we start moving. I let my mind drift. (see what I did there;) I notice that he doesn't have his blinker on to turn so I remind him.

"Hey, don't forget, you turn here."

He just hums in response, he does that a lot. Tom is also really forgetful sometimes.

"Also it's the 5th one on the left."

I hear a quiet hum, and let my mind to aimlessly wander. We arrived and I open the door close it then waved bye to Tom. I go inside and hear my phone buzz. I open it and see it's a text from Tom.

Tom: where r u?

I'm confused, didn't he just leave?

Me: wait

Me: so you didn't just drive me home?

Tom: no

Tom: who drove you home?

I look back at the now empty driveway.

Me: I not sure
