I woke up a little early today, but it's not like I could sleep much anyway, and it's ... not like I wanted extra time to get ready... so I could look good for anyone. After my shower, I made myself breakfast...nothing special. My brother used to love to pancakes I made, I wanted to make those but, I just couldn't. So I opt out for some oatmeal. I paid extra attention to my skincare and hair today, I mean if I bump into those two again I want to be a little prepared. Today I wore a hoodie with a brown flannel on top, some blue jeans, and all while Air Forces. It was pretty basic but it was what I liked, plus it was comfortable. I ended up getting frustrated with my hair and just put my hoodie over it. After taking a long look in the mirror I headed out to my bus stop.

7:10 am

The wait wasn't long but I made sure my headphones were in and my favorite podcast was on, as soon as the RTD bus pulls up I paid and said good morning to Ms.jean. "Good morning sugar" she replies. I headed straight for the back and laid my head on the window. After a couple of stops, T gets on the bus. "Hey ms. Jean" T says drowsily. "Hey love, you look tired? You used up all your energy messing with that boy yesterday morning didn't you? " she says with a smile on her face. "No ma'am I still got some in me," she says eyes still a little closed. "Mhm now go on and sit down I'm finna go."

T makes her way to the middle of the bus. She doesn't lift her head up and flops down on the seat. She wore a white crew neck with a turtle neck underneath, blue baggy jeans, a gold necklace, black sunglasses, and beat-up forces. Her hair was half up and half down.
I was kind of disappointed she didn't notice me, but she looks extremely tired. Ts head begins to fall weightlessly. I figured she fell asleep? Oh well, not my problem. I shouldn't be thinking this much about her... she's just a classmate. I place my head down on the window and look off into space. The podcast continues to play in my ear and it feels as though time is passing slowly. No matter where I look my eyes always fall back on her. She just had this thing about her, I want to know more, I want to feel her hands again.
"Eyes linger where there is interest, but with one look can follow love and lust." The young man on the podcast says. For some reason, it felt like he was saying that to me and specifically me. I can feel my ears heat up and I look away from the beautiful girl. After a few minutes, we were at the school.

7:22 am

"Alright this is your stop," Jean says. I get up to leave the bus but before exiting I see that T is still asleep. She's just a classmate, it's nun of my business. Just before taking that final step, I remember what she said "oh you're just shy?? You know you have a really pretty smile" her voice is so annoying... I lets out a sigh and walks towards T to wake her up. I hesitate to touch her so I just try to say her name a few times "t...T...." She moves a little and scrunches her nose. That was cute, and she smells really good.. almost like sweet... maybe honey? no no no not the time for that. "Hey...T...T!." T wakes up abruptly," I'm up! I'm up" she pants. I jump back startled a little. She rubs her eyes and looks around. She then turns to me and gets a little closer, squinting her eyes." Oh morning Jay, " she says. Ugh, how could she sleep so soundly on the bus? "Morning..we are at school," I say. Her eyes shoot open "really??? Thank you so much for waking me up!" She stands up and I follow suit. "Wanna walk to class together?" She says not nearly as energetic as yesterday. "O-oh s-sure" my ears feel hot again. Why??? This is so embarrassing. She gives me a warm smile and the nerves went away but the butterflies in my stomach popped up. "Bye Ms.Jean, " we both say before exiting the bus. I remove the earbud on the side T was walking on, she had a soft voice. That is what I found annoying about it, it sounded like something you would want to listen to. "Sorry I fell asleep, I'm not really a morning person." I just nod my head. I am just now realizing T is almost my height.
