A lone boy boarded the bus.
' Bus pass. ' The driver said, irritated , as he walked by.
' Bus pass?' he echoed , looking really confused,' I know not what you speak. I am Rapunzel. I do not need a pass. I am a known citizen of my land. '
He confidently strode in ignoring the not-so-nice hand gestures the driver was given him. I pressed my pass and sat down next to him as the bus door clanged shut.
' what are you doing ?' He said slowly , testing the words out.
' Sitting down Rapunzel .' I spat out.
' Oh.' He looked blank , scratching his jet black hair. The bus rattled to a stop at my school. I got up and he grabbed my hand , his amazing green eyes searching mine.
' where are you going? '
' Um , to school ?'
' School. School. Ah , I know of it.' He looked triumphant, ' I'm coming with you. ' We were really lucky there were a lot of students on the bus or we would have been at the next stop by now. We got of just before the bus bumbled off. As we walked he pointed at the snow as it fell.
' Why will this substance depart from me ?' He screamed in frustration . ' It's snow it won't bite. ' he calmed down from his little temper tantrum and stopped and started at me .
' where are we ?'
' School, of course. '
' What's your name ?' I stepped back , suddenly remembering all the rules about strangers.
' Chris.. Christina. ' I said quietly , feeling shy all of a sudden, ' Hey. Is your name really Rapunzel ?'
He nodded.
' you need a new name if your to this school. How about Alex? ' He shook his head. ' okay picky , How about Zack ?' He nodded. ' Great. You'll need new clothes too.' I said , scrutinizing his black checked shirt and ironed trousers. ' your look is too smart. We want to think 'jock' when we look at you , it would fit your new name.'
' I accept. '
' Wait. What about your voice?'
' Is anything wrong.'
' you talk different- formal-posh. How'bout we say your an English student who's got a deal to come here. '
' Sounds good.'
' Hey you catch on fast. ' I whispered as we walked into the building. I gulped. ' let's put it to the test.'
