Man From The Past

Another day, another 45 minute long bus ride to Clacton. Id been attending a Entry to Employment course there and needed some more qualifications under my belt to get a good job. I turned up at the usual time and sat in my usual seat, next to my usual friends, well anyway im sure you get the idea...

It was hot and sunny outside, the light breeze coming through the window teased me. The longing for freedom pressed on my chest like it did the two days before. And you can garentee the next day would rain because i didnt need to come up here.

"Mmm?" I muttered not taking my eyes off the cloudless sky. "HAYLEY!" it was Sarah, my 4 month pregnant friend, my best friend. The only person i trusted as much as myself. Went to school together, smoked together, skipped school together, good times.

"What?" My consentration finaly retracted from the weather and back into the hot, loud room i was unfortunatly sitting in.
Lost in my trail of thought and desire to be free, i didnt realise someone had sat next to me. The bright red shirt was a wake up call, so much so, i nearly fell off my chair. "Yes Sarah?" I said with slight annoyance because i wanted to see who i was sitting next to, and had to face in the wrong direction to see who it was. "Coming down stairs for a smoke?" She said with a wide smile on her face. I nodded even tho i didnt really want one, i just wanted to go outside and feel the heat on my skin.

"You shouldn't smoke, its bad for ya." A voice i had never heard before, the voice made me stop dead. He said it in a flirtasous way, and his deep voice rang through my head. I looked round and there he was, jet black hair, light round face, soft skin, and deep green eyes.

The room melted away like wax, my heart skipped and became lodged in my throte, i couldnt move i couldnt speak and i couldnt look anywhere else. it wasnt untill he touched my hand that i snapped out of it "Are you alright?" He was really conserned, i think he thought i was challanged. I widthdrew my hand as fast as he had touched it. I just nodded, grabbed my bag and i was out the door after Sarah.

i day dreamed the whole day away. I couldnt stop thinking about the touching of my hand and his eyes, i was so consumed i couldnt do anything but smoke and nod to anything said to me.

Rachel, my other friend who i went to highschool with, kept talking about Glynn, another mate at our group. She became slightly obsest by him, so much so, that they eventualy started dating, until he found out she was pregnant.
