I Believe In Hope I believe in hope. I’m not talking the kind of hope you have when you are “hoping” for a new car to just appear in your driveway‚ or the kind of hope you have when you “hope” for a new job.

My bag swings on my shoulder as I run towards the school doors‚ attempting not to be noticed. Pretending not to care as people fall silent while I run past‚ my auburn hair flowing in the wind behind me. “Hey!” “Jasmine!” “What went down last night?” “I heard that the police came to your house.” I listen to the miscellaneous shouts of the crowd as my heartbeat slows like a bass drum in a ballad.
