Rose P.O.V

I remember feeling a little broken. I remember that feeling all too well.

I wake up from my slumber and enter reality, a harsh and cruel reality that destroys every bit of sunshine it can find.

I get up like I normally do. Make the bed, brush my teeth for two minutes, brush my hair 100 strokes, put on my uniform, and head down for breakfast.

My dark brown hair stays straight, but glistens when the sun touches it. Well, at least that's what my mom says.

I go downstairs to find no one like usual. Everyone else leaves really early to work and I get stuck at home to go by myself to school. I have a bowl of cereal for breakfast like normal. I sigh and wash my bowl before I head to the bus stop around the corner.

Another boring day.

I get up and realize I have to deal with people today. I grunt as I get out of bed and make it. I head to the bathroom, brush my teeth and brush my hair.

I head downstairs to find my mom cooking breakfast for me and my little sister. Eggs, bacon, and a side of pancakes. I eat what I can and head to walk to the bus stop. I see a girl out of the corner of my eye.

As I watch her come up the right, I see the bus arriving and get on it like usual.

Another boring day.

Rose P.O.V

There is a boy at the stop already. As I watch him get on first, I walk a little faster to get on the bus to grab a seat. As I finished scanning my card, I walked a little forward passing the boy. In that moment, the bus moves too fast for me and I start going backward.

The girl starts to fall backwards towards me and I catch her in my arms. She's pretty light considering she's curvy.

She moves her hair out of her face and blushes really red as she says, "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. I-I didn't mean to, b-but it just sort of happened."

She's adorable. I smile at her, "It's okay. No need to apologize."

She smiles at me so brightly. I feel the heat in my cheeks beginning to form. She's just, absolutely beautiful.

I get up and sit in the seat next to him. He's pretty cute, and strong considering he caught me. He keeps looking at me and smiling. I can feel myself blushing and I look down at my hands placed on top of my skirt.

I put down my backpack next to me in order for me to grab my phone and earphones from the outside pocket. I try to lose myself into my world of music while the bus takes its time to get to school. Maybe today it won't be so boring.

I can't stop looking at her. She seems so innocent and sweet. I get a hint of her aroma, but it doesn't seem like her perfume. It's more of a natural type of scent and it definitely smells amazing like strawberries and cream. I can still feel the warmth in my cheeks although it has subsided a little. She looks like the same age as I am, but I don't think I have seen her around. I definitely wouldn't have forgotten someone like her.

She has her eyes closed and her earphones in. I wonder what she is listening to. I try to look over at her phone, but it was in her hand pretty tight and covered. I decided to do the same with my phone and try to escape into the world of music. As I was thinking about how long this bus ride was, I can see the familiar pathway of trees that lets me know that we are getting close. I put my phone in my lap, but as I look down, I see her thighs.

My cheeks regain the warmth it just has lost because her skin is absolutely alluring. They were so bold and were made of pure power and shine as bright as a diamond if not brighter. I try not to react, but I couldn't help, but smile and think about how strong and soft they must be.

I can see beautiful trees outside the window on the other side. I can tell we are getting close so I take off my earphones and put them back in my backpack. As I put my backpack in front of me and hug it close to my chest, I look at the boy next to me, he quickly turns away from me and left with me with confusion. I lightly tap his shoulder and he turns his face towards mine, "Uhm, are you okay?" "Yes, I am fine. Sorry, but I am not used to having girls around and I don't think I have seen you around before."I blush and answer, "N-no. Actually, I am new here. Hi, my name is Rose. Rose Clairemont." I smile at him and he smiles back, "Hi. My name is Blake Moore. It's very nice to meet you. Welcome to Celestia Academy."
