September Leaves
Three
I hadn't felt this small in a while. A sigh escaped my lips as I clutched my lunch and trudged outside; the sun was shining bravely and I sat on a dry bench, savoring the loneliness.
The bell sounded and I considered mutany as I grumbled my way down the glittering hallways. The pull of bodies was making me dizzy and I cursed internally when the second bell sounded, and I was late to Spanish.
"Hola, senorita!" The teacher was tall and neon white, and I simply nodded in his direction as I snagged the backmost seat. I was saved: He didn't call on me. Today.
I spent the class with the map under my nose, mumbling furiously to myself to remember while he blathered on in his foreign tongue; the sad part was, I understood almost everything he said.
The bell screamed again, and I cursed as I realized I forgot my bus number. People swirled around me and poured through doors, but I remained seated.
31. The number flashed in my head, and I bolted, grabbing my bag smartly as I made my way outside, the yellow monsters leaving their exhaust as a welcome party, gasping. My bag hit the ground as I screamed in frustration.
Leave it to me to be the only teenager without a cell phone.
