Chapter 2

Becky's POV

I walk up through stairs of the bus one by one hoping not to trip over my own two feet. Of course that doesn't work so I end up stumbling and almost fact planting. But it's better than being catch by a complete stranger.

As I gain my composure, I sit down in the seat close to the front. There is chatter all around me. I don't know if it's gossip or just people catching up but I don't want anything to do with it, so I just look out the window and listen to my music.

The trees go by in a flash and cars feel like they're pushing against us. About 5 minutes into the bus ride I get bored of looking out the window and so I look around. Everyone on my bus has that popular vibe. Great I'm stuck on a bus full of people that I think are so overrated.

I catch a group of guys staring at me. What do you want? I mouth at them. They just start and talk amongst themselves. Of course they're gonna be staring I'm the "new girl". But people it's rude to stare! Didn't your parents ever teach you proper manners?

I miss my old school. The one that had a small courtyard to hang out in between classes, I miss the musty library full of stories that had never been open, I miss my two best friends, that would come over every single day.

But all that's gone. All that I'm known for it's gone. All I have left is Carter, but I don't even see him anymore. Why did all this shit have to go down right after I started high school? I mean did my genie really have to leave?

But I'm stuck on a bus full of popular high school that I don't even know, on a bus that smells like a dusty food lion.

Plus it's so much colder here than in Florida. And boring. Like New York is one thing but why Boston? I just hope that no one can read minds.

I scan the bus in search for the persons eyes that I can feel on me. Across the bus I catch his gaze. It's that person who caught me.

Umm. Kinda creepy not gonna lie. All of a sudden the bus jolts forward to a stop.

Some girl gets on the bus. She stands in front of the seat im in. I scoot over, not knowing what to do. She just huffs and sits besides me.
"Hi I'm Becky, what's your name?" I ask.
"Ok couple of rules, don't talk to me, don't look at me and don't breath at me. Got it?" She responds.

"Ok couple of rules, I don't fucking care what you want I can talk if I want, I can look if I want and I can definitely breath if I want. I know your trying to be cool but your acting like a fucking piece of shit. Now I wasn't planning on talking to you but unless you want me to hit you I'd suggest you not telling me what to do. Ok hon. Got that?" I say.

She looks at me in disbelief. I just roll my eyes and go back to my music. I probably already have an enemy but I don't fucking care at this point. I'm just so tired of people getting their way.

As the school rolls up to the school, I check the time. Fuck it's 7:58. I can't be late on my first day. I really can't.

As I get off the bus I can smell in the air that it rained. I love the smell of rain. It smells calming and fresh. I look up at the entrance. It's pretty. Well as pretty as high schools can get, but still.

I look at all the kids walking in. Well today's gonna be interesting at least. I take a deep breath and take my first step into the school.

Thank you so much for reading. Ok so btw this is a love story it's just kinda slow at the beginning so stick with me pls. Byeee
