It was about 7:23, GingerBrave was sitting with his sister in the front of the bus. He was counting trees and cars.

About 761 trees and 537 cars, although that it's just an estimate. The chaos around him made it hard to count. Especially when his thought was broken due to other students coming on the bus. The noise only became louder.

GingerBright looked at her brother, her voice was the second loudest thing on the bus besides the other kids screaming slurs and profanity at each other. Truly amazing.

"Hey Brave, what number you on?" She swayed her feet, back and forth and a smile grew on her face.

"234."

"Both?"

"No. Cars." He replied, his voice sounded numb and unentertained.

"What about for trees?" She gave a curious look.

"325, I think..? I might have lost count." He sat up from the bus window and looked straight. "Five more cars in front of us with 36 more trees." He pointed out.

"Damn, you're not even good at math and yet you're able to count how many GOD DAMN cars there are outside without any issue?" Bright shouts, no one cares because it just blends in with the background noise.

"Yup, amazing right?" "It's impossible." They look at each other with completely different expressions.

The bus starts moving again.

"Traffic isn't looking all that good today. What was today's total again? 700?" Bright questions Brave for an answer.

"No, that's for the trees. About 600 for the cars so, close I guess?" Brave shrugs and leans back on the window. It's not the most comfortable position but it works.

A few minutes go by, the bus stops yet again. A group of kids await outside.

GingerBrave looks up as the first few cookies walk past.

Two cookies, both of different heights and genders. The taller one, female with tied white hair and brown eyes. A shorter male walks aside her, short white hair and blue eyes.

Brave lays eyes on the shorter figure as the two head for the back.

"You good?" Bright tugs on Brave's shirt.

"H-hey... do you know who that short kid is..?" He points at the male.

"Who?"
"Him!"

"Oh that guy? I... I don't know. I think he's the magic club leader? I recognize the way the uniform is styled." She shrugs and turns her body back. "Why does it matter anyways? Do you liiiikkkeee hiiimmm~~?" She teases.

"W-what-? I-I don't even know him!" He sits back down and kicks his feet. "Besides, It could just be some stupid one day only crush thing anyways, I don't see any reason to like a stranger on the bus."

"Your logic is stupid" Bright laughs, the way she sounded, it kinda sounded like a type of mocking. Oh well.

"Oh shut up." He looks away from his sister, showing no more interest in the conversation.



"Brave, get up, we're here!" Bright tugs on his shirt, trying to get him to wake up as he had fallen asleep a few minuets prior.

The bus had finally gotten to the school. The school itself was big, with two floors and a rather large gym. The school catered to students of kindergarten to the 12th grade, so it was pretty large.

(A/N: When I was in Elementary there where classes of higher grades (6-12 I believe), I thought I would just say that to Help understand why I put this in <3)

Bright dragged her brother down the stairs of the bus and into the school itself. The school serves breakfast for the students, it was about 3 dollars total.

The two grab milk, a spoon and the cereal bowls they have. Brave grabs a chocolate muffin. The two pay and head to their home rooms.

"See ya in 6 period!" Bright waves her goodbye and leaves for her home room, Brave waves back.

He opens the door to his home room and sits down over by Birthday Cake.

"Oh, is Sir Eclair is gone again?" He looks over to his teachers desk. Eclair is the history teacher, they've been learning about Korean culture for their recent lessons during 3rd period. How lucky.

"He's outside, over by Ms. Lattes room. I believe they're talking about magic or something. I donno, I just over heard them." She takes a bite from her cereal as she pours more milk into it.

"Hmm, do you still have lunch detention?" Brave looks over to Birthday. "Yeah but hey, I don't really eat lunch anyways." She takes another bite. "Besides, Mr. Espresso didn't seem to happy about the glitter bomb. GumBall, Cherry and I all have to clean it up."

Brave looks at her confused, "But I thought we've already cleaned all the glitter up?" "Yeah but apparently we missed a ton and now there's glitter in his sinks soooo..."

"Well, I'm sorry for you. I'd Help get you out but I don't think Pomegranate would let me interfere with lunch detentions." Birthday Shrugs and gets up.

"Once again it's fine, I don't mind." She throws her food away and leaves the class room.

She always does that, Brave never comments on it as he has no reason too.

Suddenly, at the corner of his eye, he spies his little bus crush.

He walks in with the same girl on the bus, he sits down over in the opposite side of the room. He takes something from her and puts it in his bag.

The girl leaves.

'What was it?' He asks himself quietly in his corner. He wished to get up but he refuses agents it, he doesn't want to seem weird as he's pretty sure he was seen staring on the bus.

GingerBrave looks around, Sir Eclair enters the room as Birthday cake enters right behind him a few seconds later with a small damp paper towel from the girls bathroom.

Birthday cake sits down.

"Hey Birthday, have you seen that guy over there?"

"Oh yeah, That's Wizard!"
