I am going to be late Saana thought to herself. She was starting a new job today and being late was not an option. Saana begin to jog down the sidewalk in downtown Oklahoma City. Her etro ragtag heels were going to make her pay for this. As Saana turned the corner, she saw the bus pulling away. "Shit Shit Shit" she cursed loudly. "NOT today!" she pleaded. Frustrated Saana lit a cigarette as she impatiently waited for the next bus. Saana was tall and lean, and considered herself beautiful. Her mocha colored skin seemed to glow in the sun's embrace. Looking herself over, she smoothed the Donna Karan pleated polka dot skirt. Everything had to be perfect today. I have to be perfect today she reminded herself.   She took the last deep drag off the cigarette and exhaled. I thought you said you were going to quit she scolded herself running her long fingers thru her pixie styled hair.  "I am" she said aloud throwing the cigarette to the ground. The woman waiting with her looked disapprovingly at Saana, but she didnt care. She stared blankly into clouds thinking...wishing almost for anything better than what she had. "You gon get on the bus gurl or you go stare at the clouds all day?" the weird lady asked. Sighing, Saana climbed aboard the bus. She whispered a silent prayer as the bus headed for Classen Curve.
