Oh my god, it's him. 

I don't think i can sit beside him for an hour and not embarrass myself. I look around but there are no other seats left. 

Nonono.

He looks up and sees me, and he gives me the most charming smile. I smile back a nervous smile. I have no other choice but to sit with him. I make my way over and sit down. The seats are awfully comfy, thank god, and they're quite roomy, which should make for a comfortable trip. 

I take my phone out and text my mom. 

Hey mom, i'm on the bus. It'll be an hours trip to school, i'll text you when i get there. I love you, and tell Jack i love him too. Pet Kick for me. 

I shut off my phone and attempt to look out the windows. I don't have a window seat, so it's not exactly easy, not to mention it's past midnight which means it's pitch black outside. 

I sigh and shift in my seat to get comfortable. I'm all too self conscious thanks to Mr. Perfect sitting next to me. 

I look around the bus. Then i look at him. He looks at me at the same moment, and we awkwardly smile. 

"Hello," he says. 

"Hi," i croak out. 

He chuckles. 

"Following me, are you?" he asks. 

I scoff. "Very funny. Where are you headed?"

"School, and you?"

Ohmygodohmgodohmygod he's going to attend my boarding school. I'll see him everyday. Im internally panicking and dancing out my happiness. 

I put on a poker face. "Oh, me too." 

"You're from Glasgow, aren't you?" he questioned. 

"Yea, you saw me briefly at the tea shop back there."

"And you remembered me." 

I feel my cheeks going hot. I know for a fact i am a deep shade of red. That's not good. 

He laughs. "Don't worry, i remembered you too." 

We laugh softly for a while, and then his phone rings. My eye catches the screen. Its his mom. he answers.

I go on my phone for a bit whilst he talks to his mom, but i'm so tired i can barely stay awake. I end up falling asleep after a few short minutes, and the rest of the bus ride flies by. 

____________________________________________________________

The bus skids to a halt not far from the school. I wouldn't have been bothered by it stopping if it weren't for the boy next to me nudging me awake. 

"Oi! Wake up! The bus has stopped. It's time to go," He whispered softly.

"Oh, i'm so sorry, i didn't bother you did i?" i stammer.

"No, of course not, don't worry about it."

I smile. He's so well mannered. 

Then i remember that i still haven't gotten his name. I can't keep referring to him as "Mr. Perfect London Tea Shop Airplane Bus Ride Boy" for the rest of my life. 

"I never did get your name.." I say.

He smiles. "Louis. And you?

Louis.

Y/N and Louis sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

"Y/N."

I give him one last smile as i gather my things together and walk out the bus. I frantically look for Evelyn. I have to tell her about London Boy! 

I mean Louis. 

I finally spotted her, and I bolted towards her. 

"You will not believe this," I squealed. 

"No need. I saw you myself" She squeaks back while showing me her phone screen. 

It's a picture of me. 

Sleeping.

On Louis' shoulder. 

No way.
