Story
Hello my name is cally. I hate my name so very much, ew CaLlY grosssss. No offence if you are reading this and your name is cally its just everyone else in my family has such great names, so elegant and nice. My mom's name is Sage, oh how I love that name. My sister's name is Clover like what a nice name. My baby brother's name is Jaxon which is very boring but it has the letter X in it which makes it more exciting. Now I am writing this story so that one day someone might read this and appreciate the love in this story.
It all started may 14th. I was 14 at the time and was getting on my bus to go to school. The bus came to my stop at exactly 8:03. I was waiting at the bus stop for only about 2 minutes before it came and picked me up. The bus driver was named Sammy, she was a kind lady, didn't talk much though. Now you might be thinking Sammy is a boy's name, well my mom taught me that gender is a social construct and that there is no such thing as boy and girls names. Which makes sense to me.
Anyways as I was getting onto the bus I saw in the corner a girl sitting in my seat. I hate sitting with people on the bus, when i'm on the bus it's my time by myself. There was an empty sit at the front of the bus so I went and sat there. After my house the bus had one more stop until it headed to school. A boy named Jack came on and decided to sit right beside me. I had known Jack for over 7 years but I had never really talked to him. Jack was always a bit creepy so I got up and sat in the seat next to the girl. She didn't look up from the book she was reading, but she moved her bag that was on the ground so I could sit. I got out my book and started to read it. Then the girl beside me turned and looked at me and said
"I love that book."
I was really surprised by this because this book wasn't really a book I would think other people would like. I said
"Me too!" "This is like my 3rd time reading it."
There was a bit of awkward silence then I went back to reading my book. Then I looked up from my book and ask
"What's your name?"
She said "my name's Janette, what's yours?"
"My name is.." Now I don't know if I should have done this or not but I said "my name is coraline."
I always loved that name because coraline was my favorite movie. I just couldn't tell her my real name, especially because she has such a cool name.
She said "oh my god I love that name, ya know coraline is my favorite movie"
I said "me too!"
Then we started talking about coraline and other movies we like to watch. Then suddenly the bus stops. Me and Janette both lurch forward out of our seats. We both look out the windows to see what's happening but nothing seems to be a problem. The bus driver annoceces.
"There seems to be a problem. I have gone the wrong way and we will be late to school, I have informed the principal and he has excused you all from the first block seeing that it might take us an extra 45 minutes or more to get to school. My apologies."
I was pretty excited to hear this especially because I had a test first block, but also because now I get to spend more time talking to janette. Janette asked if we could read my book together so I opened to the page I was on and held it open so she could read as well. After each page I would wait till she was done reading and then we would both make a comment about that page and then I would go to the next page. Janette was close to me and kept oving closer, and I thought it was because she couldn't see the book but I think she could see it perfectly fine. I was holding the book with my left hand and my other hand was resting on the seat. Jenette looked up from the book and touched my check moving my head in her direction. Our eyes met, her hands were so soft. She said
"I love your freckles"
As she ran her fingers across them.I had always been self conscious of my freckles I had hated them but at this moment in time I loved them. Then jennette turned back to the book and kept reading. It all happened so fast that I just went back to reading too but I could focus I was still processing. I didn't understand it but I liked it. I felt her hand move closer to mine. So I started to move mine clover to hers. Soon her hand was right beside mine, I could feel the warmth from her hand. Her fingers slowly moved in between mine. Then I turned over and looked at her, she was still reading the book with her eyes so focused on the words. I moved my hand over to her face then softly grabbed her chain turning her face to me, I looked into her gorgeous brown eyes as I slowly moved closer to her until our lips were less than a centimeter apart. Then I pulled away and said
"My name isn't coraline."
"What?" Jenette said, very confused.
"My name is Cally, I lied cause I hate my name."
Then jennette moved closer to me and kissed me, her lips were so soft and light, with her lips against mine it was like the whole world had stopped, I had no other cares in the whole world. Then she pulled away and said
"I love the name cally."
