What Was She Thinking?

I sat at my desk, relaxed while I browsed the web. Just before I could turn on music, Christian knocked on my door.

“Yes?” I replied as I opened the door.

“Hey, are you hungry?” asked Christian.

“Maybe. Why?” I sarcastically replied.

“I’m hungry and want to get dinner. “

I sighed. I really didn’t want to get up after getting comfortable. After some hesitation, I answered back.

“What time did you want to go?”

“Right now?”

“Alright, let me get my shoes,” I apprehensively replied.

“Okay. I’m gonna go check out the backyard.”

For the duration of the day the construction workers have been working on the backyard. Today they put up the new fence and Christian hadn’t looked at it yet. Christian ventured into the backyard while I remained in my room and tied my shoes. He passed by my opened window and spoke.

“Oh, wow. They really are done with the fence.”

“Yeah, man. It’s exciting. We’re finally gonna have a good backyard,” I commented as I got up from my chair.

We got in Christian’s car and began our drive to get dinner. We hit a stop sign and a girl on a motorcycle drives by. She wore a small top and what looked almost like pajama pants. She wasn’t wearing a helmet. My eyes stayed locked on her.

“Wow . . . what the hell is she thinking?” I commented.

Right after I spoke, a police cruiser did a U-Turn in the direction of the girl. Christian gleefully began laughing at the girl’s plight; after all, the situation is entirely her fault. She pulled over and the cop came out of his car while we passed by; Christian still in hysterical laughter.

After we bought dinner, we drove back home. We reach the street the girl was pulled over and she’s still there. A man who looked to be her boyfriend stood by her side. She looked like she was on the verge of tears while the cop wrote her a ticket.

Who would be stupid enough to do that? Why do some people have such blatant disregard for their safety? I could only hope that she gets her license revoked and her motorcycle taken away. In the meantime I’ll just look back and continue to laugh at her idiocy.
