The Forgotten

While I was heading home I noticed this girl who was standing all alone after all the other girls were collected by their parents, drivers, or maids. She was standing with her eyes fixed on the street corner waiting for her ride to show up. I can't imagine what went through her mind at that time because I was never left waiting under the scorching sun like that. Does this happen to her every day that she got used to it? Do they have to pick her brothers and sisters from other schools before getting her? was the car stuck in traffic? Or did they forget all about her on that day and no one was coming for her? Had I been her I would certainly question the reason I was left behind while all the other girls were picked up? I'm sure of one thing though, next time I pass by the school I'll be looking for that girl.
Final word: these are dangerous times we're living in and children should not be left outside all alone especially if there was no one around.
What do you think?
