The Moons Change

Chapter 2

 So I know you are probably wondering why I didn't take a plane. Well I'd like to that I say " Dose it look like I got plane Money!" lol jk. Im still a miner so I can't just buy a plane ticket without the help of an adult.I might be able to pull off looking 18 but I don't have a solid  ID to prove it. Plus I found a good discount on the bus ticket. I thought about going by train but I could not even figure out how their system worked. Way too confusing. Well here I am on my way to freedom. I don't really know where I will go from here but I know the first thing i need to think of is how I am gonna make some money and fast. My family didn't know this but I new how to program a computer. You might be wondering how, well one day the mistress gave the master a new computer so he threw out his old one. I know right who throws out a perfectly good computer. So I went out that night and fished it out of the trash hiding it in a place I knew they would not find it. You know how they say you can learn anything from YouTube. Well they where right. I learned new ways to make food and how to clean. when I finally got around to thinking about more then domestic things I started getting myself an education. I started with videos on Youtube then I found out you can do school online. So I faked some documents and graduated from collage with a major in computers and a miner in human psychology. Why psychology you say. I thought it would help me understand why my family didn't like me. I still haven't figured that one out yet. I'll tell you when I do. Looking out the window I ponder on my life some more when I feel someone sit beside me. I look over to see one of the men who I saw was sitting in the front when I first got on the bus.He looked homeless, with his baggy cloths and greasy looking hair that seem to be matted to his head. He smiled showing crooked yellow teeth that looked like he smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, and he smelled like it too. Looking back out the window I try to ignore him. " Well hello hello pretty lady how are you"? I roll my eyes " Im too young for you bro move along" I say bored I really don't feel like dealing with stupid today and thats exactly that this guy was, stupid. " What you mean darlen. You seem just perfect to me" he drawls trying to sound seductive. " Well Im fourteen so no Im not fine" I say losing my patience as he keeps trying to slide closer to me. " Now shoo f**k boy don't bother me"  He scrunched up his face huffing " nobody wants an ugly fat piece of s**t like you anyway, you should be happy I even bothered to talk to you" I roll my eyes again. His words didn't bother me they were the ones I was used to. The same words the master and mistress always said to me. " Everyone is the same " I sigh. " Now I don't believe thats true" I turn me head once more to the side to see who was talking to me. There is a man who looks to be around 19 or 20 sitting in the bench on the other side of the isle. His shoulders looked broad even while he slouched a little in his seat. His skin was darker then mine. while I was a light hazelnut he was a deep rich chocolate brown that made you want to bite into him and see if he tasted as sweet or bitter as he looked. His hair was cobalt black done in neat dreads with gold beads attached to some strands. His golden eyes gleamed as he gave me a light friendly smile. He was absolutely gorgeous. Unsure what to say I stare at him confused "what?" I finally get that one word through my lips.  " I said that thats not true, not everyone is the same. its not good to lump a people together as a whole. thats how a lot of bad things come about" His words bring me completely out of my stupor " That is non of your business" I shoot remembering that I am not to draw attention to myself. I don't want people noticing me or pondering on why I was alone. I am trying to disappear. I usually go unnoticed by people I don't understand why the one time I don't want people to notice me they do. " Im sorry miss I just didn't want you hatting everyone just because that sorry excuse of a man got to you first. Not everyone is bad" "everyone I have met so far is" I retort I don't know why this man cares about how I see everyone it is not any of his business. " Who has hurt you" he replies his voice suddenly going deep and as I looked into his eyes I could have sworn they changed color to a striking gold color. He seemed to be mad and I didn't have the faintest clue as to why. " Why should I tell you, Leave me alone " I huff once more turning my back to him. Closing my eyes I try to get some sleep. I planned to get off at the buss top in Atlanta Georgia. Switching to a different bus headed up to Nebraska. I hope to find a city big enough to get lost in hopefully find some odd jobs here and there to make some money so I can finally settle in Arizona. Everything is easy to plan but hard to put in place. Still musing about my life plan I could still feel the mans eyes on me. I knew he still wanted to talk to me. Huffing I close my eyes hopping that he would get the hint and leave. I had put my backpack under my head to use as a pillow. With the rocking of the bus and my eyes closed, I drifted off to sleep.
