"Ahh, so peaceful". I thought shutting the book on my three fingers' that are marking my place.

Oddly enough no one has come up to me. I thought giving my surrounds a brief glance before closing my eyes.

I dragged my book closer to my stomach. As I leaned my head back and stretched out my legs.
This was a good decision. I thought opening my eyes and smiling to myself. I watched the clouds above my head.
Think back to earlier. I recalled how I had snuck out of the house this morning. Frustrated with my lack of inspiration. I went looking for the other members. Whom I found all busy doing their own things. So I left without any resistance.
Again I smiled to myself.
When was the last time, I actually relaxed?
~~~
"Hey! Where are y'all going? I don't want to go there. That's right keep walking you always ignore me. Why did I expect anything different."
I'll just sit right here and wait til you guys come back."...
"So irritating. They do whatever they want. Its like I'm invisible.... haha (exasperated laugh). A ghost, really..."
"Hmm. This guy must be brave and not have a worry in the world to take a nap out here" 🤔
....
I quietly hoped the loud girl would go away and let me enjoy my peace and quiet. However, as my luck would have it. She sat on the same bench and began rambling more to herself.
***
And she continues... There goes my peace and quiet.
Abruptly, I sat up and flipped up my sun glasses on top of my head with my opposite hand.
"Even if a person wanted to sleep which I'm not. Other people should know when to show courtesy to others"....
😯
Oh jezz. I thought looking at this girls big round doe like eyes.
💩 She's in shock isn't she. Was I too harsh or does she recognize me?
I immediately dropped my hand from my sun glasses which fell back onto my face and turned my head away.
Turning back with a smile. I waved a hand infront of her face.
"Hey. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken that out on you. I'm frustrated but that's no excuse....
"Are you talking to me?"
I paused....
"Yes. I mean there was no one else round here... right?". I looked around for any other females close by.... no one. Oh god! Did I just yell at this girl for no reason... but she is most definitely the one that was talking none stop.
"Oh yes. I was the one talking but no one responds to me".
"Seriously??" I mumbled to myself there's no way that someone could ignore that...
I looked back at her questionably.
"AHH. Let me clarify no one hears me. Actually you are the first person that has spoken to me in months".
"Is your friends mad at you?" I indicated with my head in the direction that I had assumed the people she was complaining about had gone.
"Oh those from earlier. They're not my friends".
*confusion...
"But wait. Can you really see me?"
