The Color Blue

The Color Blue Part Two

The guard took me into a huge room filled this people. I sat down in a small chair. The guard then smiled at me. Just tell everyone what you did," he said. "That's it." He then winked at me. What? A nice guard!?

"My name," I said. "Is Rosette Caldon. I guess I'm here for staring at the sky. And saying offending stuff to two people. But they said it to me first!" I looked around. No one looked sympathetic or anything. To win this fight, I would have to play dumb. "I like the color blue," I said. "And I'm interested in... weather! I was looking at the clouds!" Some people look interested so I went on. "I missed the bus so I wanted to walk home. I needed the exercise! I was also looking for my friend. Her name is Flower!" I actually did have a friend named Flower!

I did my best smile and said,"Well, I'm not sure what to say now. I just... Ya know... Dozed off! And that's the reason I was staring at the sky!"

The judge looked at me a little strangely. "Just let her go back to her apartment," he said. "She's fourteen. Maybe she is interested in weather." He then turned to me. "You can have another chance," he said. I smiled. I just wondered what happened to Don.
