Up-GetReady-Go

The next day in school was pretty basic.. but some things changed. I saw cliff at lunch and his friends. And Patricia slacked on the picking. Sarah was confused and just stoped. Pixie still looked at me tho. I saw James in the hallways a couple times. He'd smile at me.. or I was pretty sure it was me. Cause girls next to me were jsut giggling when ever he'd smile towards me. So I wasn't sure if it was for me or not.

I took the bus back home.. I was one of the last to get out of the school since I could find my one book. But when I found it I jsut quickly grabbed it and ran to the bus. There wasn't any school tomorrow cause it's a ped day. I get in the bus and go to sit in my usual front seat. But I hear guys in the back. "Hey Milkshake, sit with me" it sounded like James. I remembered saying I liked milkshakes and that I never really gave him my name. "Me??" I asked suprised.

"Yes you" he said still not sat down, the bus was loud cause of all the other cool kids in the back. Throwing on each other. But it got quiet for a second when I walked to the back. My brother was there smoking a joint!? In the back of the bus. The windows were low so it was easy to hide.

James sits down and puts his arm on the top of the back of the bench and noded down at the bench, inviting me to sit with a smirk. "Helloo, you never told me your name so I called you milkshake" he laughed, "I was too lazy to ask to your brother. Cause I knew he'd just ask so many questions"

"Yeahh I'm Y/N but people mostly jsut give me nicknames" I said as I sat down next to him. Putting my backpack down and my book into my bag. "Like Y/N/N"

"So milkshake it is" he nods and the bus starts moving, "you already got your outfit for tomorrow's event?" He asks casually.

"Yeah I do.. I even have matching bow tie for Jason, I'm supposed to match with him. Long story short, when we were younger, he said he'd pick me as his girl if his parents would ever get maried." I answered with joy cause I was so happy.

"Oooo Nicee, what colour is the matching outfits?" He asked all excited too. He still had his arm ontop fo the bench for our backs. And he was looking down at me. Most of his hair was down by his shoulders.

"Well it's suposed to be all black, and I have more than one corset for my dress. So multiple colours, and it's the same for the bow tie and the suit, it's black but the bow tie I got more than one colour, and the same fabric as my corset" I felt I was talking too much.

Cliff never saw me talk so much before, and he saw how happy I was right now. Thing is, cliff already tried to ask me about it but I never was that happy to talk about it. He found that somehow with James, I acted  diffrent.

"Yehea! nice, the only suit I have is actually black, all black, cause I never went to a wedding before. Only funerals. In the summer I work at funerals too so, it's helpful. I guess I'll wear That tomorrow" he says completely matching my energy..

Anyways it was my stop now, cliff looked and sounded a little jealous when he said "cmon Letsgo, take your stuff" I just nodded and got up, and waved bye to James. I was building a friendship and I'm happy about it. But also he's my brother's friend. But it's okay, sharing friends isn't always bad. It's jsut hard to accept.

Me and cliff got off the bus and we walked home. "You know... Sabs.. what's the deal between you and James? You quickly got along and randomly started talking like you knew him for years?!" Cliff said sounding pissed.

"What? I'm just making a friend. It's not my fault I got along so well, plus he's the one who came up t me fist and cared when I talked about my situation with your stupid crush on his sister. You're not in a better place either cliff" I said while moving my hands around and sounding also pissed, "I also think you're just jealous and you just don't want him to talk to me or something for some reasons" I rolled my eyes as I opened the door.
