She digged into her patent leather black buckle bag for her wallet containing her metrocard. The 6 train was approaching and her bag was about to make her late. She took a deep breath and focused and remembered she put her metrocard in the small pocket on the side of her bag. She quickly reached for it and click clacked towards the train. She barely made it but she was glad she did. She composed herself and walked towards the back. She took a seat by herself and took a deep breath out. She reorganized her bag and wiped the stray curly black hairs away from her soft brown round face. She took out her ipod. She put on her favorite playlist. She slowly closed her eyes and drowned out the noise of the subway and the wandering eyes of morning pervs.
Eva!
Hey Eva!
She heard someone say her name and hoped It wasn't the person she thought it was. She couldn't stand her. She kept her eyes closed but the voice persisted.
Hey Eva! Th voice approached and she started to cringe, her calm peaceful aura was interrupted. She felt someone pluck one of her headphones out. She opened her eyes. Eva wished she didn't.
She saw someone dressed in light blue jeans and a red elmo shirt. She had a matching red belt and red feather earrings. She had red uptowns and black zip up. She had her blonde hair in a low ponytail. She had on a red scrunchie. A scrunchie. SCRUNCHIE. It was no ordinary scrunchie. It was thick and obvious and cherry bright red. It was a weird material for a scrunchie like velvet or suede. Did that make it better? Eva couldn't react.
"Hi Eva, I've been trying to get your attention for the longest. You need to turn down your ipod, you're going to go deaf!" Lala expressed. She never said anything it was always dramatic and acted out. Eva knew this and despised it, also clothes wise she didn't know how to brand herself. This urked her more than ever. Since she loved fashion and Lala must of been a rogue.
"Yea...." Eva shakely murmured
"Hey, Its cool that we met up I was wondering what you've been up to. I haven't seen you in like 7 months." Lala exclaimed
"Well, you know me [no, you don't], trying to keep busy working and stuff. Eva rolled through her ipod and casually looked up.
That's cool, umm well let me get your number, We're having a party for Ashley this weekend.
Which one Ashley Rodriguez or Smith? Eva asked
"Rodriguez, yea she's turning 21 and she's throwing a party. You can go with me! It'll be mad fun!" Lala giggled and her eyes were filled with glee. She looked like kids at christmas. Although Eva couldn't stand Lala she couldn't let her down. Eva always had a soft spot for requests, plus she haven't seen Ashley in a year. It wouldn't be that bad as long as Lala stayed out the way. Lala waited for Eva's answer. She waved back and forth on the train pole.
"Yea that should be fun, you going with other people?" she found that Jamiroquai song she loved and started playing it low. It quietly annoyed her. a red scrunchie. It couldn't be, she had to imagine it, no those things couldn't be back, why would she want it back?
Well I'm going with my boyfriend James and my best friend Savanna. Lala announced
Did James know that she was wearing this scrunchie?
The traina rrived at 125th and Lala could finally sit next to Eva. Lala sat down and Eva couldn't turn away as she watched the scruchie sit down next to her. She never came so close. Eva felt tempted to feel it and then rip it out her hair....
To be cont'd
