Uber Short Story Time
ell, during study hall... Jessica once again took the gameboy away from me... and I got bored. And... I had something I hadn't had in years... a burst of writing urge... Whoa...
And well...
Firstly... just know... FICTION! Next, know that names mentioned are not real people. And lastly, the speaker and the writer aren't the same person! Thank you.
-The Bus Ride-
I opened my eyes slowly as I backed away cautiously. I don’t know what was going through her head, but I sure as heck knew what I was thinking: What just happened?! By the time I realized that I hadn’t moved, she was already staring at the seat in front of us. Minutes passed, not to sound like a sap or anything, but it really did feel like an eternity. No words were spoken between us, and I could slightly taste the flavor of her chap stick as I reflected on what just had happened. After about what seemed a few hours, the bus came to a halt in front of the school. I was the first off the bus, sighing as I usually do when I hopped onto the walkway to the door. I would know what she did when she got off the bus, but this time around I found myself briskly walking inside and taking my usual seat in the cafeteria across from Trey.
You could say I basically ignored everyone as I tried to listen to my CD player… I couldn’t. I could still feel her lips lingering against mine, even if it really lasted a second or two when it happened. Knowing that I couldn’t think about anything else, I slipped my head into my arms and started to wonder. I started to wonder if what happened would change anything between us. I started to wonder if she was wondering as much as I was. Then I started to wonder about the bus ride home…
Crap.
