In a New Perspective
Part Two
"Alba hurry up, if we're late again, Mrs. Minish will explode."
Alba was always late so I, of course was too since I had to walk her to school with me.
But I didn't mind.
Mrs. Minish was her teacher, strict, and always wore a malicous glare on her dark, cold eyes.
About 4 minutes later we were on our way, running to school.
We giggled as we raced away from that house of hollow loneliness.
Our few minutes of bliss soon ended when I turned around to find a big, shiny, black truck
slowly following us. I gasped, it was the very truck that had killed my parent 5 months ago.
I remember the licence plate number. 437 2198.
When my mother and father were hit, it flew right off and landed by my feet
as I ran out to them.
I remember about a week later, me stabbing the licence plate with a screw driver, pounding it
with a hammer, and smashing it on the pavement in anger of what it had just done.
I pulled Alba close to me and said "Don't look back."
She didn't. I couldn't let evil this driver find out where we go to school. That would make it
easier for him to find us again. I looked around, seeing if we had any relatives
or friends living near here. We didn't. So instead I took a right turn, away from the school and
started walking up a different street. I glanced, casually back.
It was slowly turning onto this street too.
"Run, follow me." I whispered to Alba.
We ran down the street, around the corner, and into some bushes by the nearby woods.
I made sure we were completely out of site, then I saw the big, shiny, black truck turn around
this corner and keep on going up the road away from us.
