Daughter of the Sky
Cell Phones are Dangerous
After School...
"Hey! Marissa! wait up!" I run through the hall to catch up with Marissa.
"Hmm? Oh...Hi" She murmurs distractedly .
"Soo... you never came back after you went to the bathroom during lunch. Are you OK?"
"Yeah, Yeah I'm okay. Hold it, can you not go home this afternoon? I want to take you someplace really awesome." She grabs my hand and jerks me towards the entrance of the school. She doesn't seem to notice the people she plowed through, despite their angry glares.
"Wait! Marissa! where are we going?" We are already outside on the lawn of the school were people were longing around on the steps texting on their phones, making out, the usual.
"It's a surprise, so come on Joy, the bus is leaving and we are not on it!"
"OK, OK, wait a sec, I need to call my mom so she knows that I'm not going home yet." I pull my light pink cell phone out of my pocket and begin dialing my mom's phone number. But, to my surprise(and pain) Marissa kicks my phone out of my hand and stomps on it, making hundreds of hairline cracks on the screen. Then, she kicks it into the gutter. She turns to me and hisses,"Never, use a cell phone, not with the both of us here, it's too dangerous ."
"What do you mean?" I demanded,"How can it be dangerous?"
She sighs,"Come on, I'll tell you on the bus."
As we walk towards the bus, my eyes drifts back to the gutter where the shattered remains of my poor cell phone lay.
Good but short!
