How did I pray?

Chapter 14.

               Listen to Sorry by Justin Bieber .

If hurting me don't hurt you, don't ever tell me you love me🤍

         " Morning mom, bye mom"  
I said as I descended the stairs getting out of the house.

"But your friends are not yet here " Mom said

" yeah they're kind of caught up so I'll take the bus today " I said.

" what about taking a ride from your brother? "
she suggested
" well he's not even had a shower  mom , I'd just be going . Bye I love you  " I said and without waiting for a reply, I headed out.

         
        On the way to the bus stop, I started thinking about everything and how things had changed on the past few months sighs .

Fortunately, a bus arrived just as I got there.
Scanning the bus for an available seat , I found the nearest one three seats away from where I stood.

The guy sitting by the window had his head down .
I walked over to him , and tapped his shoulder to ask whether the seat was taken or not.

"Er .. hi..   I said shyly, .. is the seat taken?"
He didn't reply but just stared at me .

I decided to lean into him a bit so I could take out his headphones, just as I took a step and leaned the bus jerked forward , apparently because of the immediate stop of the vehicle in front of us.

 
This sudden movement caused me to fall on him.
He caught me before my head could hit the window.

Helping myself up I sat beside him without talking or eye contact .

I was embarrassed because he held me, I was confident and all but when it came to my body I was insecured. What if I'm too heavy? What if  people judge my extra fat and all .
These were the thoughts I've harbored since I was 10.
          
       I also blamed him for my fall , which I knew was totally wrong but I just needed to.
Only if he had answered sooner, I wouldn't have had that near fall.

My cheeks heated up in embarrassment as I thought about it.
I felt him tap my shoulder, but ignored him.

Just then  I felt something warm and soft over my ears, apparently  he had placed his head phones on my head and by coincidence or fate "Sorry" by Juston Bieber was being played.

Smooth huh, how very Clichè of him , I thought as a smile found it's way unto my face .

I took it off and placed it on my laps , with a straight face I turned to him and said ,
" that doesn't cut it"
He just smiled and said
" I don't believe you , I saw how you smiled a little when you had it on, you look pretty when you smile though , and extremely cute when you frown or at least try to frown"

I found myself blushing and decided to let it go and gave him back his head phones.

" anyways, I'm Trevor " he said with a smile that could reach his eyes and extended his hand.

I glanced at his hand and back at his face , he looked quite young but older than me , maybe in his early twenties.

I sighed and took his hand,
" I'm Izabel, emphasis on the "Z", my friends call me Zizi , I said.

" wow , wow, nice name Angel he said with a wide grin.
I chuckled , looked up at him
" I believe I mentioned Izabel, then looked away.
"Fiesty Angel , I like that" he said with a smirk .

Am I on the wrong bus or something? I muttered to no one in particular because school seemed to had relocated or I don't know.

This bus ride seemed long .
I looked out the window and realized we had passed by a junction or so.

Gathering my things, I got up , pressed the button to alight but to my utter dismay, Trevor stood behind me in his full glory .

Clearly he doesn't know how " pretty " he is. Yes I used pretty , because look at him.

        The bus stopped, I got down and so did he.
" are you stalking me?"

I asked 

"Of course not..-he said and chuckled
..I'm on my way to Blueview high, I just started work there"

I almost fell , "say what now? -I question
I'm also going there, I'm a student " I finish off .
" well let's get moving, he says and starts walking ahead of me.
All of a sudden he stopped,
" oh ,  I don't know the way could you lead ?"
He said smiling

"Yeah yeah, let's go . " I said

This was not how I wanted my morning to go, but whatever , sighs.

—————————————————————————
Well hello everyone ,

What do you think of Trevor?

And yes, we just realized behind the confident persona Zizi has been portraying we don't know her that much , she's just a teenager with her own set of insecurities and problems.
She's not the only one, many of us have our individual problems and all that , but I'm telling you , our insecurities make us unique, so let's be proud ❤️

I'll be updating the next chapter pretty soon.

Have a nice day.
