Maybe Tomorrow

Chapter 5. Magnolia

Once school was over, all my friends had rides to go to the mall or something, but I didn't want to go. I'd probably just stay silent the whole time while they forget about me. So I had to ride on the bus alone, well not exactly 'alone' because Eve will also be there, but I don't want to bother her. I think she's mad at me, she kept looking at me at lunch with an angry expression, like she was gonna throw a pencil at me or something. I think it's best to just sit by myself even though I really want to talk to her again, maybe I'll do that tomorrow. Once I sit down, I sit near the window. I never have a chance to sit next to the window, someone's always there. The bus is loud so I pull out my phone and earbuds and hit shuffle on my liked songs on Spotify, the first song that played was 'Mirrorball' by Taylor Swift. My personal favorite because I relate to it a lot but nobody would even know I relate to it. Probably except Eve, I can't stop thinking about her for some reason. I wonder if she ever thinks about me, I don't think she does. You know what? I'm tired of this. I'm just gonna talk to her once we get off the bus, even if it's simple like 'hi', at least I've spoken with her and I can finally stop thinking about her so much. I look towards the back of the bus and see her laughing with her friends. I miss when I used to make her laugh like that, she always hated her laugh but I found it sweet. She notices me looking at her and looks back with a small smile. Oh my goodness. Was I staring? I quickly look away. I can't believe I was staring! I can't say hi to her now! She probably thinks I'm a weirdo! Then again, I just remembered she was staring at me earlier so technically, we're even. I can still say hi to her, everything will be okay.
