I wonder when my misfortunes would end. I had new papers to make and so i had to search for a shop to fix my laptop right after i got it from home. Why i hadn't brought it this morning?
Dah.
And where were all the taxi in this city? I had been waiting here for 10 minutes and there was nothing, even shadow of a taxi coming. I should have accepted Shane's offer for a ride. But she was with her boyfriend, Alex. And I didn't want to be a chaperon. Besides, I knew where the were heading after school. Some teenage love affair.
There it was. AT last I could go home. I ran to the car's door, opened it and hopped in.
"7th drive, east." I told the driver and then we went on.
I could still see some students in the front hall when i left. Would they be running home too? Would there be parents waiting for them? More probably. In my case, it was impossible. I lost my parents in a plane crash when i was six. I lived with my grandparents since then. When I was twelve, my granpa died of tuberculosis and granma of heart attack when i was thirteen. Auntie Melly, mother's sister, took charge of me. But when they flew to Paris three years ago, I had to live alone. They sent money for my studies every month. It was enough, much of enough but i could not depend on them all my life. SO I chose to work. I acquired a job at The Childer's restaurant as server and worked every weekend. Atleast I could save from my salary. Thank God I still had my parents' house. It was...
Screech!!!
My body threw itself forward. My head hit the seat in front.
"What the hell is that?!" I shouted grabbing my forehead.
"Hey you bastard! Get out of the way!!" I heard the driver yelled. competing with the sound of the horn.
It took several seconds before i could manage the aching of my forehead and recognized what was happening. A guy was in front of the car blocking our way. He was with his back on us, wearing a brown leather jacket with hood on his head. Crazy bitch. I almost forgot the pain when i jumped out of the door to approach him. "Are you nuts? Hey, I need to get home right now...And i don't have time to.."
I was near him when another sound bangled the whole road. I was frozen seeing lots of blocks and irons from an unfinished building some two to three hundred meters away from us falling. And then a loud BANG! Those hit the car below. A taxi. I could feel my blood on my head. I couldn't move or even speak. People were screaming. Some more seconds to comprehend. When i turned to look at the guy... he was gone.
