It was a normal day. I woke up , ate something from the kichen table. It was something crispi and it tasted like smashed cockroaches. I made a quick look of disgust. I didn't have a proper meal in a while. My parents broke up when I was twelwe I can only remember the sound , the sound of the vase crushing into the wall breaking into hundreds of pieces.
Ohhhh no Im going to be late to school. The teacher said that if im late once again he will make me regret it. I pick up my shoes , my fingers tracing the side of the shoe I feel that it has a hole in it . Ehh whatever . I just grab my lunch and I storm out from our home.
I need to run back to lock the door. It could be a good morning if I wouldn't be late . The birds are singing like they are cheering for me. I run past my favorite bakery , I can smell the fresh breads . I want to get in but I eould be late so I just run towards the bustop. I look back and I notice that Im not the only one running for my life. There is a girl with dark black hair running towards the bus stop . I almost stop to get a greater look at her but then I notice why she was running so hard.
The Bus , like a hungry preadator sliding for its pray . I reach the bus stop , its only me . And the girl ofcourse , the girl….WHERE IS SHE?! The bus stops and the driver looks at me with a questioning look. I look at the bus then back to where I last saw the girl. I make a quick decision , I apologize to the driwer in a rush then I sprint back towards the bakery.
I find her behind a big bush , she has fallen and hurted her knees. I slowly walk there trying to control my breath.
"Can I help you?"
Damn Im so stupid.
She replies ,her voice is beatiful , like the wind rushing through the woods on a summer night.
"Of course if you want to"
She looks a little embarassed , but I help her get up. Then its just flash into my mind:school!
"Oh no oh no oh no, im screwed"
I look at her she looks at me with counfusion.
"My teacher told me that I can't be late because if im late even once then he will make sure that I will remember that day for my entire life"
I force myself to calm down a bit , then I ask her that why she was running .
"I am late for school too , and this is my first day there so I get lost in the city and I ended up falling over a rock"
I look at her uniform, its a white skirt with a blue cardigan and a light blue T-shirt .
"Oh you go to the same school as me"
I start to think that is that a good or a bad thing. I was always the lonely one.
"What grade are you in? "
"Im in 11 , I don't know the exact class , I can forget things sometimes"
I make a little nervous laugh then I look around and I realize that we are still next to the bush .
"Oh right aren't you hungry I can buy you a nice bread or something in this bakery if you want to . The next bus comes in like tweny minutes so we have time "
She try to refuse it but I refuse to gife up if I come this far . I cut her off.
"We might be classmates so let me buy you something"
"Wait ,you go to the same school as I am?"
I start to think then I realize that she isn't stupid just Im not in uniform .
"Yes , it was just a really long morning for me. Now tell me which one would you like"
She pick a gluten free sandwich , I look at her with a suprise .
"Im allergic to a lot of things "
"Ohh, it must be bad"
"No , no im a very picky eater so I doesn't eat most of the things"
We both laugh, then we sit down at the bus stop .
"We still have plenty of time and I didn't even introduced myself , so Im Orpheus , what is your name?"
"Im Eurydice , you have a kinda rare name"
At first I just answear with little words or just nod then we start to talk and in the next moment the bus is before us. We get on. Its like time is flying when Im with her . We arrive at the school. I say my goodbye and rush in.
"Fuck ,fuck Im gona be late , its only 20 minutes left from the first lesson "
I ran through the hallway and I almost bodyslam a poor cleaner. The whole school is dead silent , there is only a few sound like the flat shoes knocking on the ground the sound of bugs bu… wait , flat shoes knocking on the floor . I stop , I know who it is . Then I realized that Im still late so I run past the last hallway , I see the cracked plaster on the wall and I know that its my class. I take a deep breath then I open the door , it slowly slides open.
