"Well, if you know everyone on this bus, start naming them." Your friend Makayla demands.
"Carol, Sean, Alexa, Ares, Fabian-" you start.
"Hold on, hold on, do you actually know any of these people?" Makayla interrupts.
"Well I've talked to Carol before." You hesitate.
"When?" She questions, suspicious.
" Two years ago." You say sluggishly, accepting defeat.
"Ah-hah!" She calls you out. "So you don't actually know anyone here, do you?" She smirks.
"I know you." You include.
"That obviously doesn't count." She rolls her eyes.
"Do you know who I am?" Suddenly a boy interrupts your conversation.
"What?" You question.
"You look like a Steven." Makayla remarks.
He was in the seat in front of the two of you, on his knees turned around facing the two of you.
"No." He rolls his eyes.
"I definitely don't. " He adds.
"Is it Tony or Anthony?" You take your guess. He averts his eyes to you.
"Which one?" He smirks.
"Tony?" You hesitate.
"I'm flattered you know my name."
"I know everyone's name." You reply.
"No she doesn't." Makayla interrupts.
You nudge her with your elbow. She back to you with a frown.
"Sorry I don't know your name, what is it?" He smirks again.
"Paula."
You lie, making up a random name. You hate people knowing your name, not because you dislike your name but because, they really don't need to know.
"No it's not, it's Y/n." Makayla interrupts again.
"Makayla!" You whisper-yell.
"Y/n.. what a pretty name..." His smile expands.
"Can we just trade seats?" Makayla sulks.
"N-" You start.
"Yes please!" He interrupts you again.
"Makayla, it's dangerous to get up while the bus is moving." You try to make up an exuse.
"It's a red light and bus driver could care less about our safety. Plus, I get a seat all to myself."
She comments, getting up from her seat, walking into the aisle, and making way for Tony.
"Nons..." You trail off knowing there is no point in arguing at this point.
Tony gets up and takes a seat next to you. The bus driver paying no attention to the commotion.
"Hi-ya." He turns to you.
You smile and turn to lay your head on the window. You meet eyes with Makayla who has her face smudged against the window, smirking.
You roll your eyes.
"So.." Tony starts
"Y/n, are you new?" He finishes.
"No." You frown.
"You're not?" He says, confused.
"I have rode this bus to school everyday since kindergarten."
"You've never missed a day?"
He questions bluntly.
" Yes I have, but you get what I'm saying."
"Do I?" He's thinks he's so clever, huh?
You roll your eyes again, this time burying you head into your bookbag on you lap.
"You roll your eyes a lot." He comments.
You keep your head buried in your bag, wanting to punch Makayla in the face for setting this up.
Your fantasizing squeezing Makayla's neck until she faints when he speaks again.
"Can I have your number?"
You slowly pick up your head and turn it to him.
You realize it's useless to make up an exuse because Makayla, who was obviously eavesdropping, would only expose you.
"Why?"
"Because I like you. " He smiles bluntly.
Your shocked. No one has ever like liked you before.
You're about to answer when suddenly, everyone is standing up. You were at school.
He stands up when it's your seat's turn to go, gets off the bus, and simply walks away, leaving you confused.
