Ribbon In The Wind

Ribbon In The Wind [ 3 ]

Chapter Three:

I decided that today I should go to school not because I’m feeling all so enthusiastic about it but for the fact that I have had so many days off and the numbness of my body isn’t going anytime soon. I might as well make the best out of the learning I can do and actually have a future, unlike the future I took away from Luke.

I slowly get out of my massive bed that is clearly too big for just a single person being a giant double bed but there is no way I’m getting rid of it. Luke and I used to sit on this bed for house talking, eating and watching movies.

I walked over to my vanity table and sat down and looked at myself in the mirror. OMG I look like shit no joke I look like I haven’t slept in like 2 weeks oh joy for me going to school today looking like this. I shrug my shoulders and begin brushing my hair and tying into a side plate and then adding the Red ribbon from Luke into my hair. I add a little bit of makeup to my face, I have never been a fan of caking my face with makeup and Luke never liked it so I never did it.

I put on my school uniform and pack my bag feeling less and less motivated to go to school every minute spent getting ready. I look at the time and realize I am going to be late if I don't hurry up so I quickly sprint down stairs, make my lunch and get to the bus stop with 2 minutes to spare I do a mental fist pump into the air at the fact that I wont have to run down the street chasing after a bus that wont plan on stopping for me.

The bus turns up and all 6 of us waiting get on, I take a seat near the back by myself and put my headphones in and start going through my playlist for the long 20 minute drive to school, it doesn't really take that long just all the stops the bus has to do takes up that long which is the biggest inconvenience. Suddenly I feel someone sit down next to me and I when I turn to give the person a weird look because there is like 10 empty seats on this bus and they had to sit next to me. When I look at the person I realize it Jason and he’s looking at me with a smile on his face, he looks like he’s waiting for something so I take out my headphones.

“uhh Hi Jason”

“Finally I thought you were gonna leave me just chilling their smiling at you, that would have been awkward”

I give him a smile, which he returns. I go to put my headphones back in when he takes one of my headphones and shoves it in his ear.

“So what ya listening to beautiful”

oh wow he’s so not going to like my music. Wait! He just called me beautiful. I turn and look at him waiting to see if he was being serious or teasing me about how I look this morning, when I turn I see him just casually looking at my phone reading my playlist with no signs of joking around on his face. After a while of looking at him I realize I’m staring, he has incredible Green eyes they are like dark green around the edges and light green towards the inside. I’m so fixated at looking at his eyes I don't realize that he’s looking back at me I quickly turn and look out the window embarrassed, I slowly look back and he’s just staring at me smiling. Yup totally just got caught staring  at him, good work Grace. I give myself a mental face palm.

‘So Grace I was wondering at you busy tomorrow night?’

I think carefully because of the sudden subject change but I know and ill always know ill have nothing on, I don't do anything anymore I don't shop or go to the movies, I don't hang with friends not that I really have any anymore after I shut them out they all just slowly forgot about me and stopped asking if I was ok, which in some ways I’m thankful because the term being ok will never be said truthfully from my mouth.

I reply with a sly smile “umm no nothing on why?’

‘Well there’s a party on Jess in our year is having a party and is inviting the whole grade, I was wondering if you wanted to go with me’
