It had been nearly two hours since I met Ashley at Sally's. And although the yogurt had been terrible and what I needed was to sleep it away, I didn't go home.
Nana had volunteer work on Saturdays so she wasn't home. And no way was I going home right now to sit there all alone. I would think to a very unhealthy point and probably end up crying and feeling sorry for myself.
So I just walked. I walked round Wayne County. Well, it was a small town so it wasn't so difficult.
From Sally's I walked past Matty's, carefully of course, to avoid being seen.
As I looked through the glass windows at Matty's, I could see people, guys and girls in groups, talking, laughing, having fun.
That was me once, I thought.
Feeling the sadness coming, I walked past as quickly as I could
