39: Finally in Spain!

Start from the beginning
                                    

    "That," I replied, pointing towards the light.

    Out of the corner of my eye, I could see my girlfriend and best friends' eyes searching for what I was talking about.

    "Riles, what the heck are you talking about?" Maya asked with a confused look on her face.

    Before I could answer Maya, I realized that what I had been looking at was the screen of someone's smartphone.

    "Wait, it's someone's smartphone," I announced, "But why would someone be out here just to be on their phone so late at night?"

    Everybody just gave me confused faces.

    "What are you talking about, Riley?" Maya questioned.

    "Yeah, I don't see no smartphone!" Zay added.

    "Me neither!" Maya, Lucas, and Farkle all agreed.

    All of the sudden, I saw the screen of the smartphone move under the light that was being given off by a streetlight on the sidewalk. I learned that the smartphone belonged to a Spanish girl with dark hair who looked around our age. The girl was on the corner of the sidewalk and looked as if she was about to cross despite all of the cars speeding by. That's when I realized that by the way that the girl looked so engaged in what she was doing on her phone, she was not paying attention to the surroundings around her. All of the sudden, I got a bad gut feeling. I knew exactly what I had to do.

    "MISS, WAIT!!!" I cried as I ran onto the sidewalk and towards the girl, "STOP, MISS!!!"

    Unfortunately, the girl was too lost in the virtual words that her phone consisted of to hear me. Either that, or she did not speak English and did not know I was talking to her.

    "RILEY, STOP!!!" I heard Farkle shout after me.

    "RILEY, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?!?!" Lucas yelled.

    I quickly whipped my head around to see that Farkle, Lucas, Maya, and Zay were all chasing after me. I just decided to ignore them and turn my head around. I knew that what I was doing was dangerous, but I knew that what would be coming next would not be pretty unless I did something about it. Just as I was about fifteen feet away from the girl, she stepped into the street without looking. A red car that was now speeding towards her honked its horn at her as it applied its breaks. That got the girls attention. Startled, the phone slipped out of the girl's hands and she finally looked up. Being scared to death, the girl immediately froze up, unable to move out of the way. Knowing that there was no way that the car was going to be able to stop in time, I began running at sonic speed. Just as the car was two feet away from the girl, I stepped onto the street and grabbed ahold of her shoulders. Quickly, I pulled the girl back to the corner of the sidewalk with me, saving her from being hit by the car.

    The girl was extremely petrified. I could hear her breathing heavily and her heart thumping loudly. Instead of getting out to see if we were alright, the driver in the red car just angrily honked at us as they continued to drive by.

    "RILEY, ARE YOU OK?!?!" Maya shouted as she, Zay, Lucas, and Farkle had finally caught up with me, "WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?!?!"

    Instead of answering Maya, I just ignored her and my friends and turned towards the girl that I had just saved. "Are you ok?"

    The girl just looked up at me with something that looked like a mixture of fear, relief, and gratefulness.

    A/N: Hello, everyone! 😀 Sorry for taking so long. I honestly have no excuses this time since I got home from my vacation on Wednesday and I could have updated then. All I have to blame is my procrastination and laziness, but that's really no excuse, so I really am sorry! Anyways, I probably won't be able to update for a bit since I have a busy week coming up. I will be going to a baseball game for my mom's b-day on July 4th. Then, my birthday is on July 7th and I will be going out for lunch with my family and will be seeing a movie with my parents after. On the 5th, I will be out all day with my grandparents, shopping for my birthday gift. Then, on July 9th, I am having a sleepover at the campground that I went to for my school trip for my birthday. We are coming home on the 10th and are all going to be bushed! I will not be able to update on the 8th either because I have to help my mom prepare for the campground. Maybe I will update on the 6th but I think I might also have a few things to do that day as well.

Enjoy the rest of your day/night, everybody! 😃
