Here I Am
My iPod die before I got off the plane. So all I can do is eavesdrop in people's private conversation. I don't like listening to private and personal things that aren't any of my business. But I can't help it, really, I can't help it that's why I listen to my music everyday.I have this super hearing in my ears, like right know I can hear someone breaking glass in a alley with excitement. As the laughter and their heart beat every second the glass breaks in pieces.
I use to hear up to 1 blocks. Then when I kept growing I started hearing farther. Now only I can hear up to a mile. I think it's a curse because I feel like if I keep being hear and using my gift. I think I can develop other sources. But I guess I have to wait.
It was getting too loud and just walking around doing nothing made me feel dizzy. I try my best to stand up on my feet and keep going but the voices in my head got even louder. My bags got heavy on my back and arms. I was about to pass out when finally I found what I was looking for...a way out.
I felt the fresh breeze on my face once I open the glass door. It wasn't too hot or too cold just perfect. The sun hide its face above the dark clouds. Making the day look like blue. The buildings in many sizes small to big and short to tall. Most of the tall ones are classic and old with a nice light brown color with many windows. Some taxis were black ,long, and classic and others were blue with white squares in the middle. It took me a minute to realize they were taxi after a man yelled " taxi ". I quickly jump in one of them while the taxi driver put my bags in the trunk. Mostly everything here was different from my hometown. Weird?....the differences already.
" Hello Daring, where's your stop?"
" Oh um..." England University ". I said in a sick voice, my mouth felt dry.
" Wow. Smart girl that's one of the best schools in the whole land . And it's every hard to get in. How old are you?"
" I'm 17. " I didn't mind to tell him my age.
" Wow...you're too young. Well to be in a university now. And I bet you're from USA, right? "
I was confuse. How did he know that.
" Excuse. How did you know that? " Feeling scared of what I just asked him.
He laughed. " Well your voice, it doesn't have a accent, daring. " He smile.
" Oh..now I feel like a idiot. "
" Cause you thought I was gonna kidnap you or someone? "
" I'm sorr.." He interrupted me.
" It's okay daring, your always suppose to be alert with a stranger even if they look like normal people. I always tell my five daughters that always be alert and safe. Because you never know who is willing to do harm with others. Even if they're your friends or willing to help you. "
I looked at him as if he experience it once. And he did the way his face sadden every word he said and his voice low. I sat there hearing the voices around me and I was here. He open the door for me and help me take out my bags.
" Here you go daring, I hope you do good and have a fun time. Well...bye." He got in his car and roll down the window. " Oh daring, I almost forgot.. the money. "
" Ohh um....here you go. Thank you. "
" Your welcome..bye ."
" Hey I never got your name? My is Annabelle. " I asked friendly.
He smiled. " Jack. " He head out slowly.
Here I was standing in front of my new school and home......and LIFE.
Soo good :)
