Chapter seven
Half an hour later Rizzo was also on her train to New Haven, she found a compartment with only an elderly lady inside, who seemed to be asleep. The train was pretty crowded so she was lucky.
After she had stored her luggage under the seat, she finally sat down exhausted.
Looking at the sleeping person opposite, Betty was surprised the woman didn't wake up with all the noise she had made, getting herself comfortable.
'What if she's dead' shethought to herself.
Unsure what to do she went over and checked the lady's pulse.
'Still alive' she thought with relief.
Back in her own seat Rizz took out a book of her bag and without noticing it she also pulled out Sandy's gift.
After a few hours Betty's travel companion seemed to have slept enough, because she woke up with a loud moan.
"Good morning" said Rizzo, looking up from her book.
You could tell that the woman was surprised at the sight of the young girl.
"I'm sorry I didn't want to wake you up, but this was the last free compartment on the train." Her friends back in Rydell would probably be shocked to hear how polite Betty Rizzo was, but thanks to God they couldn't hear her.
"No problem." the other women fianlly said. "I'm Caroline Dickinson." she held out her hand and the young girl shook it. "Betty Rizzo."
"What for are you going to New Haven young lady?"
"I'm going to attend Yale University." Rizzo answered, and with saying it, it finally became true, it wasn't a dream anymore, or something that would happen in the future. For the next years she would be a student in New Haven.
"That's a big responsibility, only the best students are accepted at Yale. But I'm sure you'll fit into those shoes."
"Thanks. What about you?"
"I visited my daughter in San Francisco and now I'm on my way back home." Mrs. Dickinson said, loooking down and noticing the little package on the floor. "Is this yours?" She picked it up and showed it to Betty, who had nearly forgotten about the present of Sandy.
"Uhm... yes thank you." she took the package and looked at it for quite a while.
Rizzo could tell what was inside and was afraid to open it, because then it would make things too real. She didn't want to face it, not now, she wasn't ready jet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Another few hours passed and Rizzo had been staring at the gift on her lap the whole time. The elderly woman on the other seat had gone back to sleep.
She knew she had to open it some day so why not now, she had to get used to the fact that she would have a baby in less than 7 month.
Rizzo carefully unwrapped the package and pulled out tiny white rompers, she was stunned how small they were.
'If the baby will be really that tiny I'll probably break it's bones by only touching it'
She thought of the little person growing inside of her and of it's father and tears appeared on her cheek.
Betty had made many promises to come back for Christmas and next summer holidays and she realized she would break all these promises. She wouldn't see Rydell for a very long time...
The End
