"Navaeh, please pay attention, when is the assignment due?"
Navaeh turned her head from the window to look Mrs Davidson in the eyes. "umm, i don't know, sorry."
Mrs Davidson made a humph noise, murmered under her breath, and continued the lesson. The rest of the english lesson went in blur, and when the bell sounded for the end of school Navaeh didn't even notice.
"Navaeh, you can leave now, school is over."
Navaeh snapped out of her daydream, gathered her things, and ran to the bus stop.
only to realise she had missed the bus. "shit" she muttered under her breath, and started the long walk home. She felt like she was being watched, but that was impossible, the streets were empty. yet still she picked up her pace, her long brown hair blowing in the chrisp autumn breeze.
when she was only a few blocks away from her house she heard footsteps on the broken road.
Navaeh didn't bother looking back to see who or what was there, she just ran as fast as she could, pushing herself to extremes.
when she finally arrived home she ran straight to her room. hoping her adoptive parents didn't hear her. she opened the door to her room, just enough to hear if they were home. no screaming, or smashing bottles. they must be at the pub.
Navaeh ran for the shower, the hot water cascaded down her back, in magical little droplets, thats when they froze, as if time itself had stopped. a small smile spread across Navaehs face, and a little giggle escaped her lips. her eyes widened in wonder, as time stood still. a slamming door and screaming from downstairs pulled Navaeh from her wonder, the tiny drops of water falling once again.
