The sun was beating on my back and made it my dark brown hair feel as if it were on fire. I put my hair up in messy bun when I thought the back of my neck need to have a cool down. Looking down at my now more rusty red jeans I sighed. The wind, yet again, picked up the dirt and splattered it against my clothes as if it was a painting in progress.
It was probably three days ago that I ran away from my home. I had to be near the heart of Arizona by now. Knowing that I probably walked to many miles to count, I stopped keeping track hours ago. Walking barefoot, again, on the side of the road-My shoes had gotten ruined fast since they were already so worn- I looked behind me. I hadn't seen a sight of any car since I left the motel this morning.
When the sun was just right overhead it felt as if I was one of those ants being burned with a magnifying glass by a third grader. I licked my dry lips and looked at my almost empty water bottle, if I didn't get any water soon I might be in trouble. As if on cue, I heard a noise in the background, it sounded like a worn out truck that was probably used to tow animals around in. I looked behind me, though I couldn't see anything past the large hill I had just walked down.
It wasn't too long till that rusty ''thing'' was beside me. I put my hand over my eyes to act as a visor because the sun was in my eyes, though I still I couldn't see who was in the car. It wasn't long before I heard a loud, but at the same time sickening sweet voice, it was definitely a girl.
"Hey girl? You need a ride or something?"
I looked up and saw the girl leaning over the side of a beat up old Chevy truck. Her auburn hair was hanging down barely touching the side of it. Her aviators were pushed to the top of her head, I guess so she could get a better look at me.
Next to her was an older looking man, maybe by a few years. His rusty red hair seemed to clash with the suns ray. His aqua blue eyes caught me off guard for a moment. They were unique though they seemed almost a perfect match with his hair.
His arm was linked around her waist, so I figured they we're together.
"Well?" her voice called out to me breaking me from my train of thoughts. I turned to her before responding,
"No thanks, I'm fine walking." I really didn't want to be a burden, the truck look already pretty full. It was the boy in the driver's seat that called out to me this time.
"You're not going to last another minute in the desert babe, might as well take the offer." I looked at my bare, dirty feet before looking in the front of the truck at the one who called out to me, and the boy sitting next to him. They both looked similar; they must have been brothers or maybe even cousins.
The younger looking one flipped his dirty blond hair out of his big baby blue eyes. He was staring past me-probably deep in thought.
The older looking one beside him gave me a crooked smile before looking me up and down with his midnight blue eyes. As he ran his hand through his short, slightly flipped out hair, I couldn't help but think the color reminded me of chocolate and it was impossible not to smile back at him.
The girl then jumped over the side of the truck and leaned against it giving me a small grin.
"We ain't gonna bite honey."
She sounded like she was from the city. I looked at her before nodding slightly, "Yea okay..." She looked back at me before jumping into the back of the truck, and I followed suit. I smiled.
"Thanks a lot."
She nodded before putting her glasses back down and the Truck drove off again. I stuck my hand over the ledge bouncing it slightly. I wasn't sure if I was going to regret this or not.
