My voice is hers.

"Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind."

"Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind."

May 31, 2018

I looked at the person next to me. It was the cute girl from this morning. She gave me a big smile while placing a second sticky note on my book.

"For the sweater."

I look at her surprised. She was still wearing the sweater. I didn't mind. It looked way better on her than on me anyway. She could just tell me but she wrote me a sticky note? How cute. Her cheeks were flushed and she tucked her hair behind her ear while avoiding eye contact with me.

"No problem." I said as I smiled at her.

She smiled back and started writing something on another sticky note.

"I'm Nervana."

Like the band Nirvana just with an e not an i. I let out a small laugh at the coincidence. Nervana started writing something again.

"What?"

She looked at me poutingly.

"I'm sorry for laughing . Its just that you have almost the same name as my favorite band." I explained.

Nervana's cheeks got even redder and she smiled embarrassed. I guess she gets embarrassed easily.

"I'm Katharina, but you can call me Kathy." I said smiling.

"Nice to meet you Kathy." she wrote.

"Likewise." I replied. "You don't talk a lot, do you?" I asked.

She smiled, but it was a sad smile. Not the cute one I saw before. I mean it was still cute, but... The feeling of wanting to hug her came over me.

"I'm mute." she wrote.

I looked at what she wrote and instantly regretted asking. I thought to myself: U fucked up Kathy. I looked at her and didn't know what to say. Should I apologize? I should. As I opened my mouth to say something they announced the next train station. As she heard that quickly grabbed her bag. She jumped up from her seat and ran toward the door. Before stepping out she waved at me with a smile. I didn't even get to apologize.

I got out at my station and started the 10 minutes walk to my apartment. She's mute... Oh my god why did I even ask. I'm wonder what its like... It must be hard. Oh Kathy of course its hard she mute for gods sake. But she sure is an interesting Person. I wonder what she is like. I wonder what her favorite book is and what kind of music she listens to. I wonder I if she has a boyfriend.... Wait! Why am I thinking about whether she has a boyfriend or not? Am I... No... No way! I mean I'm straight... right? The sound of a passing car woke me up from my trance. I realized I passed the building I live in. I walked back and unlocked the door. I walked up the stairs until I was on the 3rd floor and unlocked the door with the number 15. As I walked in I let my bag fall on the ground. I locked the door and walked into the kitchen. After opening the fridge and realizing I have no leftovers left I wondered if I should order something since I'm not in the mood to cook something. I let myself fall on the sofa and dialed the Chinese place down the street. I could have just went down there but seriously I was way to lazy to do that.

The doorbell woke me up. I must have fallen asleep while waiting. I paid for the food and made myself comfortable on the sofa. Even though I live here almost 2 years now I never bought a dinning table. Because why should I? I live alone and never have guests over and I'm perfectly fine with my sofa. I turned on the TV and browsed the channels for something interesting. I ended up watching the movie Casablanca, though I couldn't concentrate on anything. All I could think of was the girl I met on the train.

Dear Sir Shakespeare, this may be true, though she deserves thy voice even more than you.
