Jasmine Estevez
Journey to School
“Goodbye Dad” Jasmine called out to her father Victor who was in the shower. She ran down the stairs and held the door wide open. “What a beautiful day it is today, oh how I wish it was summer again,” she thought to herself. Jasmine shut the door behind her and was now on her way to the seven train. While going down Junction Boulevard she always encounters Larry, who sits on a cardboard with a little cup next to him. Both his legs are missing his foot. Larry looks at Jasmine and she tries not to make eye contact, for looking at him makes her feel bad.
Once she got to the train Jasmine thought to herself how hot it was. Looking to the right she saw her train coming so she walked to the same door she always entered. “Yes a seat,” she hurried to sit down. Jasmine was going to read when she began to day dream about the guy she was with the day before. Contemplating weather, she wanted to pursue something or just stay as friends. At grand central she got off and transferred to the six train. There was this one mother who was sitting in between her two children. They all had that same light brown curly hair and she just stared at them thinking how cute and nice hair they had. At 23rd Street Jasmine got off and headed down one block to Baruch. She looks at her time and thinks yes I’m not going to be late. Once Jasmine gets to the building door she remembers how they always ask for ID. For some reason this irritates her especially when she’s late. The struggle it is sometimes to find things in her purse. Although this one time she noticed the police guard wasn’t even checking. She then hurried to catch the elevator which happened to still be there. Jasmine gets off on the fourteenth floor and walks down to her classroom. “Good my seat isn’t taken” she thinks. After she sits she looks at her phone until its time for class to begin.
