I jump out of bed ignoring all those messages cause honestly I'm going to be late for the last bus if I don't start moving. And also cause I don't have the energy to explain and re explain the same story ten times. I already missed the morning bus sleeping in aka wallowing in my self pity and I can list a solid one person who's going to kill me later cause of it. Love my friends but a girl needs a break.

Run to the bathroom for those morning pees and do my thing. Putting on the minty toothpaste on my toothbrush I think...
"What did I do wrong? Why haven't I cried yet? Did I even like him for sure?"

Scrubbing my face wash into my skin:
"How do I act now?" "Is it cause I'm not skinny enough?" "Is this what rejection will always feel like???" I turn off the facet and close my eyes and just breathe.

"Ophelia, you can't control him to like you back. Life doesn't work like that. If it's meant to be it'll be. Don't force anything"

Deeply sighing I turn the facet back on and I finish washing my face and run out of the washroom to change and get ready for work. I put on a few dabbles of concealer, blush, curl my lashes and some chapstick so I don't feel like a complete bum at work.

Keys? Check
Uniform? Check
Snacks? Check
Backpack? Check
A broken heart? Yeah I don't know about that.

I rush out of the door and run to catch the bus that's leaving the stop.

"WAIT!!!" I frantically wave my arms in hopes they see a little 5'4 Asian girl bolting down the street.

"UMMPHSHSH!"

Someone please tell me I didn't just slip. Please. Honestly just leave me here. I'm fine. The clouds look nice at least...

"EWEERRKKKKkk" All a sudden the bus pulls to the side and stops.

"Did the bus actually stop for me? Huh?? Doesn't matter just get up, get everything and go Ophelia!!!"

I scan my phone with my university card and thank the bus driver for stopping for me. The response I got was a hefty grunt and he points to the back. I quickly shuffle my feet while struggling to hold onto all my stuff and make my way to an empty seat.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Am I hearing stuff now?? Damn that fall to bus stop really hit the three brain cells I have. I should workout more. Looool jokes I need to stop feeding myself lies.

I felt a small tap on my shoulder. If I could say I got whiplash for turning around so fast I would. Staring back at me with these kind hazel doe eyes was a man that was shaped by the gods. I feel like my eyebrows went so high it just left my face. IF I CAN EXPLAIN HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS MAN WAS I WISH I COULD.

"Miss, are you okay"

Head empty. No thoughts. Beautiful Asian boy THATS ASKING WHAT NOW?! I need to stop staring at his eyes omg. What's up with the waving in front of my faces. OH!

"Omg hi!! Sorry!!" I quickly blurted out. My spit probably flew at him at this point cause I was probably drooling from this mans beauty.

"I'm a little out of it today. Sorry! You were saying something??" I exclaimed.

"Hahaha no worries, I was asking if you're okay. I think I saw you slip on your way over" he replies in a calm deep voice.

Stop. You're telling me he saw me slip?! I'm embarrassed. Stop. I can't take it. WHY DOES THE UNIVERSE HATE ME AHHHHHH

"Yeah, I'm okay!! Thank you for asking"

"Good to know". His eyes briefly flicker downwards to my hand. I slowly look down at my hand and see a large scratch. It's honestly not that bad especially since I didn't see it till now but boy was it bleeding. I nervously scratch my head and reach into my backpack for my emergency kit. Wait. Where's my backpack?! I look out the window and in the distance I see my mini pink backpack chilling in the snow.

"Uhhh... do you need something for that?"

"Yes please!! I think I forgot my backpack back there when I fell" I frown. He pulls out a little pouch from his bag and unzips it. Bandaids, alcohol spray, tissues. My eyes went wide in surprise.
"Dang you have it all, hey?"

He shyly tilts his head down and a light blush flutters over his cheeks as he take two bandaids and the spray out of his pouch and hands it over to me. "Yeah, haha I have a younger sister and brother, and they get a little clumsy sometimes"

TELL ME THATS NOT THE MOST ADORABLE THING EVER.

I open the cap to the spray and gave myself a little countdown and sprayed the heck over it. I took out the bandaid from my lap and was flimsy trying to put it on the scratches.

"Here let me help you"
