High School…
I STEPPED ONTO the bus just as it started to close its doors. I was
late. Truth be told, I was always late. My oldest brother, Connor, razzed me
about it all the time, but I’d just smile and roll over in order to catch a few
more Z’s.
As I walked down the aisle, I noticed a girl who was probably a year or
two younger than me sitting in ‘my’ seat. I mean, it was a public bus, so it
wasn’t technically mine, but I sat there every day on my way to school and
now I was going to need to find another place. I was only five-hundred
dollars away from the money to buy a car and once I got that, I wouldn’t
need to ride public transit anymore. I’d been working after school and
weekends when I could at my dad’s construction site. It was good money,
and it was flexible.
I decided to sit in the row behind her, just across the aisle.
There was something about her I couldn’t put my finger on. She was
gorgeous, blonde curls that cascaded down her back and looked almost like
they had a mind of their own, big blue eyes I’d only seen for a second when
she glanced my way, and a body that she looked like she was trying to hide
in her oversized clothing.
She looked sad, and I don’t know why that pinged for me, but it did.
The bus pulled up to my stop, just outside my high school, and I rose to
my feet. She did too. I frowned. She went to my school? I’d never seen her
before.
Following her off, we headed for the front doors.
“You new here?” I asked. She jumped and I felt the slight movement all
the way to my soul. “Shit. Sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”
She blushed, her eyes meeting mine. “You didn’t.”
God, she was pretty. Not a stitch of makeup covering up her gorgeous
freckles. I studied her for a second, and then she started walking again,
holding her backpack closer to her side. She’d only hung one strap over her
right shoulder, like she needed something to protect her.
“Do you want me to show you where to go?” I asked as I rushed to
catch up to her.
“No, I think I’m okay.”
I heard a slight accent, but I couldn’t place it.
“Is it your first day?”
“No. I’ve been here a week,” she said, walking faster.
“Never seen you on the bus before.”
“It was my first time riding it. Mum was…” She shook her head. “Um,
couldn’t drive me today.”
“I dig your accent,” I said. “Where are you from?”
“New Zealand.”
“No way, that’s hella cool.”
“Ta.” We reached the steps of the school, and she faced me. “I’m sorry,
but I can’t be late for class.”
“I’ll walk you.”
“No, you don’t need to do that,” she said.
“What’s your name?” I asked, as she pulled open the door. But she
didn’t answer and escaped inside.
Well, shit. She was about the prettiest girl I’d ever seen. I was going to
need to find out more about her.
