Y/n's 1st POV

I was waiting for a bus, not really going anywhere in specific.

Lately, I've been acting weird. I'm acting myself now, but when I'm with specific people, I become someone else entirely. I'm scared.

I step onto the bus, use my bus ticket, and walk to an empty seat,

I look at the guy in front of me, 'Is that Duke?' I think. "Excuse me, can I sit by the way window?" I ask, he looks at me, 'Yup, that's Duke.' I smile at him. "Of course!" He pulls his legs back, and I walk to the window seat, and sit next to him.

"Are you writing something?" I ask,

"Lyrics, I'm an aspiring rapper!" He tells me, 'He sounds really excited.. Too bad everybody on this bus eats ass..' I think, "So you can spit, huh? Let me hear it." I ask, and he beams at me.

'She wants to hear me rap!' I hear Duke, but not like I'd hear if he spoke. It was like when Tedd spoke in my head. I'm pulled out of my thoughts by Duke, who starts rapping. It's pretty good, it'd be better with a beat or some music.

"What'd you think?" He asks, I look him dead in the eyes, "That was the best rap I've ever heard,  how are you not famous already." I tell him. He suddenly becomes flushed, "Thank you, because I'm ugly, people don't want to hear me." He says, "It's not about what they want to hear, it's about what they need to hear," I advise, "I'll help you in anyway I can!" I say.

He smiles at me, 'He's so cute!' I think. "Can I see that?" I ask for hit notepad, and he hands it over. I write my number, "Call me if you ever want me around, and text me about whatever~!" I chirp, while getting off the bus.

I smirk when I hear people whispering about him.

"Wow, he's really good!" A woman behind him says,

"He's so lucky he got that chick's number!" A guy says, "I'm so jealous!" His friend whines.

I liked that interaction with Duke, it felt natural. Like I wasn't some character in a book. I smile, feeling lighter, but immediately frown. 'I'm lost..' I think, "Tedd!" I call.

Duke walks back home, "Grandma, did you sell a lot?" He asks,

"Oh, hi Duke.. School's all done?" She asks, with a smile. "You must be hungry, have something to eat." She offers sweetly, "No, it's ok. You have to sell those." Duke politely declines, "Ho Ho, don't worry!" She laughs, 

"Hey, Duke." A guy greets, causing a chill to run Duke's spine.

"You live around here too?" Vin Jin asks, 

"You grandma? Hello." Vin's goon greets. "Goodness.. you are Duke's friends?" Duke's grandma asks, "Yes. We're in the same class." Vin Jin answers, "Ho ho. Be nice to Duke, okay?" She asks, "Of course, Hah." Vin's friend laughs.

"You must be hungry.. Have some, here.." She offers, causing the three bullies to cheer, and are about to eat everything. "Move it!" I tell them, while violently pushing them to the ground. "The fuck?" Vin Jin swears, "Hi, I forgot to make dinner for my roommate and I.. Could I buy the rest of the food here? He needs to be energized for his job!" I explain, hurriedly.

"Oh.. Well I was.." His grandma looks conflicted, "Hm?" I turn around, and Vin Jin's jaw drops. "Can I have your number?" He asks me, but I ignore him and walk past him, and walk towards Duke, "You~!" I exclaim, "I'm so sorry, when I got off the bus, I realized I didn't have your name!" I smile,
