Alyssa finished her makeup and was ready to go. It was not really cold, but a bit chilly, so she got her short, purple coat. She had put on a nice, grey minidress made from thick wool, black tights and her grey velour boots. She picked up her bag and went out to start the car. But something was wrong; it just made odd sounds and didn't fire up. She got out and found that she was late. The school was not so far, but not close enough to get there in time by walking. Getting a taxi would be no help; she knew from expperience she could even walk until a taxi got here. It was to late to catch a bus anyhow. What could she do? At least, she could try to hike there, as she saw all the cars driving by her house. Somebody should stop, and the school was just straight ahead, so this was the best idea. A few moments later she found out that hiking was not that easy as she thought. Most cars simply passed by, but at least an old car stopped, and she walked over. Two young men were sitting inside. "Where would you like to go?" asked one of them.
"Could you drop me at the school?" she asked.
"Why sure! That's where we are going anyway!" they laughed. She could not recall to have seen these two by now, but they were students from the school, guessing by their age. |
