Chapter Three - Sudden Moments

I got on the school bus from the front of the school. I really wasn't bothered to walk this afternoon, but also because of Ethan. He's played some twisted, sick games in my head. He had that cocky, flirty , "I love myself to much" attitude when I first met him but now he's very nervous, kind and acting strange. I have no idea what this boy is going through or the thoughts he has in his mind. It could possibly be anything. But the most strangest thing is that it happened right after he sang in front of the class, which was way more peculiar. It was so sudden as well, as soon as he came to sit down he was very shy.

I take the second last seat on the right before the back. I always love to sit here whenever I'm on the bus. I don't know why but it's just like that seat is where I'm designated to sit. The ride home was very quiet since I had none of my friends on the bus. So I just got lost in my thoughts like I usually do but this time, while listening to The 1975. That was until I saw my local Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop up ahead. I quickly press the stop button for the next stop, thank the driver and hop off.

I felt like having some Ben & Jerry's because one, it is the most amazing ice cream ever that you will ever taste, even though it is so freaking expensive and I wonder how people are be able to afford it and have it almost every day. And two because I haven't had it for ages. I just felt like some and I sure did miss The Double Choc Chip Cookie Dough. I didn't want to sit in the shop by myself so I took a seat on the bus bench and decided to ring Chris, just to see if he wanted to come and because we haven't had some alone, best friend time in a while.

"Oiiiiii Chrissyyyyyyyy!!" I half screech into the phone, receiving strange facial expressions from pedestrians walking by. Some people seriously have some issues.

"Oiiiiii what do you wantttttttt!!" He screeches back twice as loud.

"Firstly, shut the fuck up that was worse than my so not loud whatsoever screech. And secondly, come meet me at Ben & Jerry's right now."

"Why on earth would I possibly do that for someone who has very appalling language and is being very nasty to an extremely kind man who was going to accept their offer of going to Ben & Jerry's but now is rethinking their decisions." I could physically imagine him smirking to himself at this very second. What a bastard.

"Fine. I am so very sorry Christopher James Lanzon." I say through gritted teeth. I hate it when he makes me do this. He can seriously get on my nerves so much but I love him as my best friend so I can't really argue with that.

Chris and I have one of those types of friendships when there are moments where you can be very nice to each other and are very sweet towards one another. But at the same time, we want to rip each other's heads off, be complete sarcastic arseholes and threaten the other person to do something they don't want to do. It's possibly the best friendship I have ever had.

"Because you pleaded so charmingly, I forgive you, and I will be downtown around half an hour. I'm sorry but I'm having a small vocal session right now. Which you should have came to."

"Ughhhhhhhhhhh I'm sorry okay. I thought I was going to be doing nothing today. I have stuff on my mind. And Chrisssssssss. What am I meant to do for that amount of time?!" I groan quite loudly. I swear he does hate me.

"I don't know, girl stuff. Go look for clothes and phone cases and bags and wallets and shoes and makeup. Definitely makeup and shoes."

"Are you saying that I need to buy more makeup so I look like a bigger cake then I already do?" Rolling my eyes at his definition. I get up off the bench and start heading down the road into SportsGirl.

"No my love, you are super gorgeous with and without it on. And you wear no makeup compared to so many other people in our grade. Haven't you seen Alyssa?! But besides, weren't you complaining yesterday that you needed more makeup because you were running out?" I sigh in defeat and think for a few seconds of his point.
