I've been driving through the town for a while now and I was wondering where did the time go. Looking all those people... They have grown old. I was absent for five years. I haven't even tried to think about people I used to know. I had some other life to live, some other er people to meet. One face in the crowd made me look behind. I used to know her, very well I'm afraid... Too well for that matter. She's still a good looking girl. Or woman, by now. Watching her made me forget about driving. In an instant I've looked back on the street in front,pressed the brake and stopped the car. A girl was standing in front of my car. That look in her eyes, that smile on her cold face... She slapped my hood. What? Hey, girly girl, that's my... I was about to get out of the car and tell her what she deserved, but she was already in the crowd. I didn't want to follow her. But, she looked so good. Dark make-up, pale face, black clothing... And raven black hair. Smiling to my self, I've got back to the car and moved on to meet some of the guys that knew that I was back.  That night I just couldn't get any sleep. Thinking about her occupied my mind. So, what did I notice when I was looking at her? Except that she is fricking mind blower? I've noticed that big bag on her shoulder. High school maybe? Four high schools are in that circle. Should I just look for her? How difficult can it be? Four schools is about 1600 students. She must be somewhere.  To be honest, I haven't slept much. Those eyes were hunting me the whole night. C'mon, champ, time to go out and search for a new girl to play with. It was already noon when I left my apartment. One floor lower was my old nanny,so I had to go there to see if she needed something. She just gave me a kiss on my forehead and one of her smiles. She was 75 years old and I can remember her in younger years. I sighed when she closed the door. She is ill and she won't tell me that but I can see.  Once again, I was in the car, parked on big lot near the schools. Waiting time. By 2 pm school was out. I was looking for her. Some emo-dark kids hang out on the street corner, but she wasn't there. There's no doubt that this is the wrong place. Well, beter luck tomorrow.  Some kid from my building sees me and I offered him to get him home. I asked about the girl I was looking for, but he couldn't give me more informations. He couldn't think of anyone who looked like that. Well, crap. I'll find you. You owe me an apology for hitting my car.  That day passed by, I went back home and just listened some music. I'm not much of a TV person. Music is my way to chill out. Time just flew by.  On the next day, I was parked by the second school and just watched the street and hoping she will appear. School policeman saw me, and he asked me politely to park somewhere else. I get it, this does look a little crazy. So, I did as ordered. Just sitting in the car, having one cigarette after another... 2 pm. School bell's sound hit me like an earthquake. And then, I saw her. Dark and beautiful. But it wasn't high school she got out of. Hell no. Elementary school? That's impossible! She can't be that underage. I've started the car and came in front of her. She fixed her eyes on me and I could see her fear.
