I hummed, the ivory white headphones stuck on my head as I sat on the bus seat near the window. I awaited the bus to stop at the next stop, Funny no one could take me. I thought eyes distracted on the road.
The bus stopped, I heard the driver call out an inaudible sentence, though I knew this was my stop.
I shoved my way through a crowd of people, pushing myself off the stupid city bus. My feet touched the ground and I glanced down at my shoes, amber brown and white converse.
I hurriedly walked down the sidewalk, reaching the cafe.
I gripped my hand on the handle, pulling the door open.
Sweet, but also bitter smell wafted through the air. Coffee and cake. I walked up to the counter, ordering my coffee and small food and what not.
I staggered over to a table, sitting as I waited for my friends to arrive.
Zyan opened the door, accompanied by their sister Ellis. "Hey emmett!" Zyan chirped as they walked nearer the table.
I slipped off my ivory white headphones, "Hey! How are you guys?" I asked.
"We're doing wonderful thanks." Zyan said, they pulled out the chair next to me sitting down.
"Want anything Zyan?" Ellis asked, "I'm going to go order something." "Hm. Could I have the peppermint iced coffee please?" Zyan said. "Sure." Ellis replied, Ellis walked off to the counter.
"So- about Friday-" I began, "It was nothing Emmett." Zyan remarked, "It felt like something." I mustered; Zyan intertwined their fingers with mine and gave no reply.
Quinn and Leon walked through the door, the annoying chime of the bell rang throughout my ears.
"Hey guys." Zyan murmured, "Hey Zyan!" Quinn replied.
"How's everyone been?" Leon asked. "Good thanks." I replied, "Wonderful." Zyan said. "I'm going to go order something, you want anything love?" Quinn asked Leon.
"No thank you." He replied, Leon pulled out a chair as Quinn walked off.
"Hey sorry to mention it Emmett but uh, are you alright from Friday?" Leon asked. "A bit better actually." I remarked, I scrolled through social media paying attention to my phone while Leon and Zyan began conversation.
Soon everyone was sitting down and they where all talking, well besides me.
"Did you hear there's going to be a new kid on Monday?" Leon remarked, I took interest peering over my phone screen.
"Oh I heard their name was Onyx." Said Ellis, "Maybe if no one else gets too it we could invite them to our lunch table." Quinn said.
"I suppose we could do with an extra person." I remarked.
"Hm. Did anyone actually drive or did we all go by bus?" I asked. "I did, And so did Leon and Quinn. Ellis rode with me." Zyan said.
"Great, Maybe we could go to that old hiking trail down by the state park?" I asked.
"Good idea. I guess it could be nice." Leon said.
I smiled.
"Okay, I'll take my car home. You guys follow me and then we can all go together?" Leon suggested, "Sure!" Zyan said.
"Ellis do you wanna drive?" They asked, "Yes I do." she replied.
We walked out of the coffee shop, the annoying chatter of the bell sounded and I cringed. Zyan opened the car door for me, "Thanks." I smiled.
