A 19-year-old guy dressed quite smartly had just attended a Rock Choir at a church. He was dressed in a t-shirt, shirt, trench coat and a scarf. When he left the church, the time was just after 21:00. The weather was freezing but he was wrapped up warm; it was just his hands that were cold.

Even though, he'd just walked a few metres to the bus stop he was frozen. He prayed that there was a bus soon - he had lots of options to choose, and he didn't care which one, he just wanted to get on a nice warm bus.

About five minutes later, a bus came and it was a double decker, which was his favourite type of bus. He wasn't going far so he thought it'd be best to stay on the bottom deck.

After a few seconds, he noticed two young girls, sat on his left in the middle of the bus. He thought they were both attractive but didn't want to disturb their fun.

Surprisingly, after a couple of minutes of looking blankly out the window, one of the girls grabbed his attention by calling him over. The first thing they asked was how he would rate them.  both. He gave them a solid 9.5/10.  Once they'd got talking, he found their names to be Ellie and Lauren. Ellie had red hair and Lauren had blonde hair and they were both very pretty and very bubbly in personality. He developed a crush on both of them instantly!

Ellie had asked him where he had been and he told them about the Rock Choir he had attended and that he had done some singing. The two girls had been singing and laughing when he had got on the bus. They had asked him if he wanted to sing and he shyly said yes. He decided he had been singing along to Ed Sheeran, a young and talented singer, when he was at home in his room all alone, that he would pick a song that he felt comfortable and confident in singing: Lego House from his debut album in 2011. The girls were amazing singers and were actually listening to him sing, although he was as shy as anything. They both liked his voice and so they continued singing together. They did a few more Ed Sheeran songs and then did A Thousand Years by Christina Perri, a sing that he had done at the choir.
