Crossing the street

Suddenly that cafe across the street looked even more inviting than it had a few moments ago.  I thought to myself “one tall vanilla bean latte with 3 shots of espresso should do the trick.”.

 

I started across the street when I heard someone call my name. “Damn” I muttered under my breath.  I was praying that Jeff didn’t hear, and hoping that if I walked faster I could pretend as if I never heard it.  I didn’t recognize the voice so it should be easy to get away from.

 

“Veda!”  There it was again, this time louder than before.  I turned my head in the direction of the woman calling my name with every intention of shutting her up.  The last thing I needed or wanted was for Jeff and Kelsie to know that I was anywhere near tonight’s events.

 

When I located the person calling my name, I smiled.  It was Mrs. English.  She was without a doubt the best teacher this school has ever had.  I raised my hand to wave at the same time I noticed Jeff looking in my direction.  He had a look of horror on his face.

 

At that moment I realized that I was standing in the center of the road.  Out of the corner of my eye I saw the same thing that was causing Jeff’s frightened stare.  Unfortunately, the car didn’t see me.
