He smiles at me and I shy away,
" babe are you okay?"
"Yeah Im fine,why?"
"You just look scared"
I look around and find a sea of heads and bodies surrounding my own, my heart beats fast, my palms are getting clammy. I know I can't take anymore of this but I will, for him. because that's what love is right ?
" Will, I'm fine it's just, well you know me and crowds aren't exactly bestfriends."
A strong arm wraps around my waist, and I instantly feel safe.
"Kat! Kat are you okay? Do you hear me ? "
I realize I had just zoned out... again. lately I have been plagued by my memories. but I can't think about that now. I must be strong.
I look up and find a beautiful girl with blue eyes that pierce through yours, they can be welcoming, but they also look at you as if they know your deepest secrets. her head is framed by violent red hair, not the kind that you can get from dyes and bleaches, it was something she was born with. Dressed in black, she smiles at me. I realize how lucky I am to have her in my life.
"Sorry Bryn, I was just thinking. what do you need again?"
"We are going to the store to get food because I'm hungry. You ate the last box of fucking Mac n cheese while I was out last night, therefore you must accompany me to the store. no complaints."
I look down at my appearance, I have a pair of black spandex on and an old paramore tshirt that has many holes in, it goes past my shorts. sighing I grab a hoodie and grabs keys.
As soon as we leave our cozy flat we are welcomed by the cold breathe of winter. I run to the car not wanting the cold to catch me, I climb into my old 1986 red Ford 150. This car was my grandmothers, or I guess you can say mother. for my real mother was never in my life. Its cold in the beast. My baby got that name from Bryn because of the sounds it makes as it scoots along the road. As I turn on the car, I see bryn halfway between our home and the car. She is the slowest person on this earth. I pound the horn and she slips on the ice hugging the ground. Laughing I turn the heater on and Bryn crashes into the car and flips me off. I just laugh and skid down our street. As we pass every identical house on this street and everystreet in sector 7. As we head to the market we see a commerical on botox shots that promise that we will never share a wrinkle with the world. This sector is so consumed by flawless needs.
Inside the market I am welcomed by the warmth of the indoors. I really hate crowds, and people. I need to get what I need and leave. Hopefully Bryn will comply to my needs, she tends to get lost in public. Lost in my worries I dont notice that I almost ran into somebody. That person sneers something under his breathe. I look up in time to see a pretty face and hard muscles that make up a boy no older than I. I try to tell him im sorry but he is already gone. I go to the food asile and grab a few containers of Mac N Cheese. I wander around picking up things that look good. By the time I realize that Bryn is no longer with me I also realize the basket is filled with food. As only a three school student I do not have to work for my points, but they are limited. I count each items point value and open up my pinger to make sure I have enough points. I almost never shop unless I need food in the house, so ofcourse I have more than enough points this semester. I quickly send Bryn a very unpleasent ping and go to get realeased.
