The Cassette Tape

Just another day

I was walking down the bustling streets filled with students making their daily commute . Lost in my train of thoughts , a slight breeze brushed though my hair as a familiar voice called out my name "Eriiiiic" , I turn around to see my friend Dan running towards me . Catching his breath he said "dude , how are you so fast , it's like you've joined the tracks team! ... Have you finished your assignment ? I heard its worth half your grade. Anyways did you see how hot Julianne was  yesterday?... " he said "rambling again? he didn't even give me time to answer his question " I thought to myself.  Before I knew it , I was at my class I waved Dan goodbye and settled in my seat . Time flew by like just another other day . 

During lunch  I , Dan and his friend Luke we sitting together at a table , Luke was talking about his broken guitar and how he has to buy a new one . My dad owns a pawn shop so I suggested we go there and because of that here I am dragging myself to a place I don't want to go to.  As planned we went my dad's shop he was standing at the register as still as a statue . Dan usually shrieks at the sight of musical instruments which annoys me so I let them know I was gonna wander around the store for a while. After wandering around for a while I stumbled upon a dusty old box lying around the corner . It was filled with cassette tapes . "huh? cassette tapes ? who even buys these nowadays , they seem to be used as well" I mumble to myself , I then put the box down and walk towards my dad ."hey dad ! have have you seen those boxes over there , they seem to be filled with cassette tapes . Can you tell me how long they have been here ?" I asked . "Oh yeah those ? I found these when I was cleaning our shed last weekend . I was gonna listen to them but you can have them if you want to ." he replied  . " Okay , then I will be taking them with me ." I said and picked up the box that had "1" written on it and went to my friends . We spent another an hour waiting for Luke to deicide which guitar he wanted . We then went to our homes. Dan went with Luke today as he wanted to see him play the guitar. it was 7:30 pm already so it was a little dark outside . 

While walking home I heard my phone beep , I took it out of my pant  pockets and to my surprise Dan had texted me . He rarely texts me as he calls me all the time . " Don't forget to complete your assignment which BTW you have due on Monday " it read . I sighed remembering  the amount of work I had to do in a matter of few days on top my regular homework . I suddenly felt a surge of pain flow through my shoulders. I had bumped into a person! Luckily , I didn't drop the box . I turned around to see a woman in her mid twenties. She had beautiful long flowing hair covered by a hoodie , with eyes as blue as the deep oceans, her lips as red as blood , sharp eyebrows and smooth skin with no blemishes . Moving ever so gracefully she apologised to me  . "huh ? oh yeah! I'm really sorry ."I said rubbing the back of my head . We both apologised again and went on our own ways . "She seems very familiar " I thought to myself as I arrived at my home "but something felt off about her she seemed so ... cold. " I said to myself and so I put the box aside , got changed and started writing my essay .About an an hour and half later I opened my eyes . I try to squint as my eye slowly adjusts to the sudden difference in light . I look at the time . "its already 9:30 ?! guess I dosed off for a while . " I muttered . Still half asleep I picked up me phone and called my dad . He said he would be home by ten so I decided to continue writing my essay . " Man this is boring ! " I sighed . " I still have three more days to complete this ." My eyes laid upon the box full of Cassette tapes that I brought home sitting in the corner .  Out of sheer curiosity I decided to play the cassette tapes . As I put the cassette tape in the cassette player " What is inside this ? What if I hear some thing I'm not supposed to hear ? "I thought to myself  "No, it will be alright . " I assured myself and pressed the on button . At first I could only hear static noise but then out of the blue , I could hear a giggle . It sounded as if it was from a little girl who had a sharp yet very soothing sweet voice which cut the silence as if it was a blade ...
