Dawn approached the gate’s front entrance with her eyes on the policemen surrounding it. It was early; she was alert --- unlike a few of the authorities she caught yawning as they cleared a path for herself and Derek to walk through. It was curious how so many policemen could be on guard yet it’d been a week and still the mysterious killer hadn’t been caught. A glance up to her leaving buddy and she started forward out onto the sidewalk.
Not having the appropriate number of credits to graduate, she was taking a variation of summer school --- and as every week morning for the past month, she was on her way to Westfield High. For the past week, however, that apparently wouldn’t have been possible had she not had her ‘ leaving buddy ’ alongside. Dark brown hues found their way back up to the older male as she moved down the sidewalk. “ Thank you, ” she voiced once they were a few feet away, grateful for his cooperation. “ ...Do you have any plans today? ” She added, curious.
