A (almost) bike crash, an argument, and an introduction.
Imgen -
Two boys are standing inside a small twisting alleyway. A dented bike lies off to one corner, one wheel still spinning, a shattered flowerpot lies near the handle bars. One boy stands with an outstretched hand, a small scratch on his thumb. The other boy stares, cheeks flushed from shouting, at the hand in question, confusion seeping into his glance. But lets rewind a few seconds backwards to see what led up to this a bike crash, an argument and a introduction.
-watch out!
-whatthe-
-oomph
!!!!!
brief pause interjected as both boys pick themselves up off the ground
-what the hell! Why dont you watch where your going!
-ohmygosh Im so sorry, I-
-sorry? Your sorry?! You nearly ran me over!
-well its not like I meant to!
-I could have died!
-okay, now your being dramatic. You wouldnt have died, yeah, a bruise maybe, but-
-excuse me? Who do you think youre talking to?
-look, I didnt mean to okay, and your not hurt, so no harm done.
-what does this look like!
-...a small scratch on your hand?
-pain! Thats what it is! Pain! Pain and suffering, and Hurt!
-chill out, the only one seriously injured here is that poor flowerpot
-poor flowerpot? What are you trying to be? Funny?
-ha ha, look, Ive got to somewhereto be, so for the last time Im sorry-
-again, sorry? Do you think that everything will be fine just because youre saying sorry?
-no!... yes. Wait, no! I dont I just think-
-well maybe you should give it a bit more thought
-Jesus Christ!!! what is wrong with you! Im just biking down this street, you step out of
nowhere, I swerve, crash into some god forsaken flowerpot instead of you, scratch up my bike and fall on the ground and youre telling me what I should be thinking more?! Who the hell are you?
-Javier, nice to meet you.
-what?
-my friends call me jay
-uh....
ohhh, the things you sometimes overhear.... i doubt anyone would be reading this, but if you are, thanks, and all that.
