That day I was later for school, so Mom offered me a 36 . I sat beside her in our car, daydreaming about my 37 . I’d be graduating from high school in a few months. I’d leave high school behind and do whatever I wanted. What 38 I do? Go to college? Or get a job in an office where I could 39 my way up? Mom interrupted my thoughts.“Kassandra, do you 40 that?’’She asked just as we were 41 the railroad tracks. She stopped the car on the other side and 42 the window. “It looks like a child.’’ 43 ,I saw a small boy walking by himeself. The warning lights on the train tracks flashed 44 .The boy stayed where he was right in the middle of the 45 .The whistle sounded. There’s no 46 that train can stop in time!The boy jumped up and down and 47 at the engineer. I took off running. My shoes flopped(松动) against my feet as I 48 , so I kicked them off. I ran faster. Stones crunched(发出刺耳的碎裂声) and flew under my 49 feet. The ground shook. God, let me get to him! The train was almost on top of him. I 50 the boy in my arms. Keep running! But something 51 me. I fell backward, away from the train. I pulled the boy with me onto safe ground. The train barreled(高速行驶)past. The noise was 52 . The wheels were so close that I could have reached out and touched one. Once the train was out of 53 , I stood up. Mom ran up and hugged me. “Kassandra, I didn’t think you were going to 54 it !’’ I got ready for bed that night 55 looking forward to school the next day.
