It is mid-afternoon, it is time for me to leave, having served all night for dinner at the corner of the rural village in which I live. I'm annoyed by the boss who pinched my butt today and that fucking cook who laughed about it. I'm leaving here in September for the city University.<br>I'm tired, annoyed and most of all I have to walk home.<br>When I start walking on the side of the road, I stop, look at the boring long way home and think: "To hell ! I have a better idea."My parents would be distressed, but now I am a grown woman and I can do what I want. I turn around and look again at where the cars are going in my direction. I start to raise my thumb and as a hitchhiker's sign. I see a lonely car stopping around the corner. Why not?<br>The car crosses the intersection and returns to where I stand. It was easy, I think, running to the passenger side window. The driver, a 25 or 30-year-old man, lowers the window. I bend over, put my sweaty hands on the windowsill and smile.<br>"Thank
