It was a half an hour to midnight, I had been driving around for only twenty minutes when I spotted
her. She was actually getting dropped off. I shuttered as I watched her get out of the car. Her hair,
that had been once blonde was now an ugly red. It was simply ugly on her, everyone has a certain
color that just pulls them together, red; at least in her hair was not fitting. She seemed to stumble
when she walked. As if her shoes were to big, she looked back at the car and waved lazily, blew a
kiss and stumbled over to the corner of the street. The car sped off into the night, I watched the lights
disappear on the horizon, as far as I could see. Making sure we were completely alone, I turned and
looked at every possible windows, doors and streets. When I knew for sure we were alone, I drove
up to her corner. She smiled lazily and walked over to the car. Her eyes popped when she peered
into the passenger seat, when she spoke it was drown out and slurred. "You... you look, familiars',
do I know you?" She belly laughed and began to drag her fingers across the car door, it didn't really
entice me, but I had to act cool. "No, maybe you've seen me around. Wanna get out of here?" I
unlocked the car, she smiled and opened eagerly. "I hope you don't mind, but I'm taking you to my
place. I don't like cars, not enough room for.. what I like." She laughed again, choking a little at the

did the ugly red that had stained her blonde hair look even more horrible, but her hair was also
straw like from being bleached, and her scalp was greasy. I sustained myself from shuttering with
disgust. "You should know, I'm sure you get a lot of looks with that head of curly red hair. I just
wanna pull it.." She began to reach over slowly with her hand, that stupid drunken smile all over her
face. It only angered me, I looked at her and gave her the most strained smile I could muster and
whispered. "Not yet.." She laughed and pulled her hand away. "I like you... I might actually enjoy
myself..." I felt a sudden pull of desire in my chest, Jane, the girl I was in love with in high school is
sexually attracted to me? A million things began to run through my mind. Maybe my original plans
aren't what I was meant to do.. I stole a quick glance at her and the sudden flash was gone and was
flushed away. Young Jane wasn't there anymore. Lights flickered from outside across her sprawled
drunken body, her lazy smile slinking across her face, which was sunken and wrinkled. Her eyes
were still beautiful, but the whites were long yellowed and bloodshot. Her teeth, he just noticed were
