Okay. You've done this before.
Just get the 468 into the city. They'll be waiting for you.
7 minutes until its due. I shouldn't have gotten here half an hour early.
I recount the change in my hand for the sixth time. My hand's gonna smell all coppery now.
1, 2, 2.20, 2.30, 2.35
It's still all there.
Go over what you're gonna say to the bus driver.
One half fare ticket please.
Remember, don't stutter. Try again.
One half fare ticket please.
When the bus finally arrives, people form an orderly queue and my heart pounds too hard.
Why was this so difficult?
Didn't anyone else feel like this?
I step on the bus, money in hand, I hope it's all there.
"One half fare ticket please." I handed him the money and I took my ticket.
My heart blossomed with relief as I took a seat near the back of the bus. It's the seat I always get, on the left, next to the window.
See Paisley, that wasn't too bad.
