Two Paths Meet

"Hi I'm Penelope and your name is?" I politely asked the guy sitting at the table alone looking at his food.

"Non of your business freak." He says with disgust in his voice and hatred in his eyes and goes back to looking at his food but not eating it.

I just smile one last time and wheel back to my room. I look at myself in my mirror. My mind drifts off back to that boy.

For some odd reason I feel like things are finally falling into place for me for once.

I smile at myself in the mirror. I put my right hand on my heart and hold the other one up. "I Penelope Johnson promise to help that boy I saw today. I will show him what love really is." I said to myself in the mirror. I fold my hands on my lap and look at myself one last time before going to my bed.

It takes a while to get inside seeming it is harder to use my legs. I finally get in and pull the covers over me.

I drift off to sleep with that boy and my promise on my mind.
