"It's too hot," says my best friend, Florence, while briefly looking up from our friends snap chat stories "why do English busses have no ventilation?!"
"Because...I don't know..." I say, I can't really think about why busses have no airflow in the middle of July but I can only focus on a guy sitting on the opposite row to me, he seems a little mysterious-listening to his music and shyly glancing around the area.
"Isabel!" I turn around to see Florence staring at the same guy I was "Stop trying to use mind control to get him to look at us and check out what the sluts were doing to your ex at that party." The guy I was gazing at sets his glance on me and I can feel the blood rush to my cheeks, I quickly look away in the hopes that he hasn't seen me blushing so obviously. "Someone's got a crush!" Mocks Florence with a mischievous grin on her face.
"Flo I've never spoken to this guy, how could I like him?"
"Love at first sight, Romeo and Juliet, Tate and-"
"Stop it!" I say in mock offence, and, because of Florence's giggling, the stranger is looking over at us with a confused look on his face. I can see his face properly now; his skin is pale with a band of freckles that stretches from one cheek to the other, his eyes are large and a beautiful mahogany colour, his hair is a dark copper and his smile gives him the appearance of a shy dog-he's extremely cute!
I must of accidentally locked eyes with him as we simultaneously looked down at our phones and smiled.
"He looks a bit older than us," whispers Florence "maybe about 16 or 17?" she says, running her fingers through her chocolate brown hair, her blue eyes scanning his body.
"Flo we're only 15, it's not like it's a massive difference!"
"One year is just a baby step for those sluts Bella!" Chuckled Florence, still clicking through the story from the 'popular' groups party (nobody in that group really likes each other).
"How can a party have so much going on that the story is 860 seconds long?!" I exclaim, looking at the shattered screen of Florence's iPhone.
"Bella, Bella, Bella," said Florence shaking her head in dismay "you have to realise that every photo taken with a scummy lad that would finger you for a Maccies has to be posted for 10 seconds
on your snapchat story" she says in an overly sarcastic tone.
The bus grinds to a halt at our stop, just outside the massive shopping centre; which was due a trip from me and Florence. We collect out bags and make our way out of the bus, only to see the cute guy stand up and follow us out of the bus. As we are nearing the entrance of the shopping centre, we hear an unfamiliar voice call out behind us
"Hey uhh...pretty girl with the blonde hair..?"
I stop dead in my tracks and shyly turn around, I see the cute stranger stood around four meters behind me and looking at me as if to create a memory to last an eternity.
"M-me?" I stutter.
"Yes, you...I see you a lot around school and I think you're beautiful...this is getting strange, I won't bother you again" he abruptly turns round and walks the other way.
"Wait," I say "I've never seen you around before."
"I do my admiring from afar..." He says turning his head over his shoulder so that it faces me "Isabella Todd."
