Writing Prompt: Write about the boy/girl who went missing who no one noticed.
She walked away.
Leif had suggested they go out with friends. It would be fun, he said. It was never fun for her. So far, they were three hours in. Three hours of having to endure being ignored, listening to the boys play the "I'd sleep with that" game, and the air-head girls prattle on about make-up and other trivial conversation points. She had had enough. So she walked away.
It was easy to do. They were at an arcade. So far, it was the most amusing moment of the day. Mathias had no idea how to use the game machine, and his looks of confusion and frustration were comical. Of course, he wouldn't ask her for help. That would mean acknowledging her. No one had so much as glanced at her in three hours. So, when a bigger crowd passed behind her, she made her escape. She didn't even glance back at the group of her supposed friends. She simply walked out the door.
She didn't come home for three days.
No one noticed.
