Chapter 2: Beautiful Bus Boys

Emily's POV

"Will you shut up already", I heard Kyla say to Tianna from my position on the couch. "I am not in love with Will!".

"I do not believe you", I heard Tianna retort as her footsteps came closer.

"Emily? Why is your face buried in the couch?", Tianna asked inquisitively.

I grunted, my face muffled by the fabric of our bright red sofa.

"What's wrong?", Kyla asked me  as she sat down beside me.

"So much freaking paint", I mumbled. Wow, I sound like Finna does in the morning. 

"Feeling color blind?", Tianna laughed.

"Is it possible to get blisters from painting?", I asked Kyla. She loves art too, but her love for babies and helping them trumped the idea of art school. She was studying to become a pediatrician.

"This is the first time I've heard of it", Kyla laughed at me. "I'll get you some polysporin". Kyla got up off the couch and Tianna sat in her place.

"Hey guess what?", Tianna whispered.

"What?", I whispered back, sitting up to face her.

"Met some cute dudes on the bus... Both British, both babes.... One Kyla took a particular liking too..', Tianna winked at me slyly.

"I CAN HEAR YOU", Kyla yelled at us from the bathroom. Tianna and I  laughed at our annoyed friend.

"Did you say British?" I asked

Tianna nodded. "You bet I did".

"Of course, the one day I miss the bus", I rolled my eyes.

"They go to our University. We're gonna show them around one day, and one of the guys was your type, Emily", she added with a twinkle in her eye. "He had these lovely blue eyes, and shaggy brown hair.. I even remember him carrying a guitar case. You know you like musical fellows".

I smacked Tianna's thigh. "I don't need a boyfriend".

"You may not need one", TIanna pointed a finger, "But you know you want one. Come on, Em. He's musical, good looking. and his name"

"I don't want to know his name. Stop trying to set me up, you crackhead. Set yourself up before you set me up. You don't have a boyfriend either", I pointed out.

"Psh, you don't know that".

"Oh really? Where's your boyfriend then Tianna?", I joked.

"Yeah, Tianna. Where's your boyfriend", Kyla mocked as she came back with a tube of polysporin,

"Hey Kyla,  we should get in touch with the bus boys. I think Emily and Trevor would ht it off", Tianna said bringing it back the previous conversation.

"How would you know? We talked to them for like, half a second.", Kyla accused.

"Oh I read people", Tianna winked.

Kyla rolled her eyes and changed the subject. "Finna said she's interviewing a band today for the radio station. They're going to start doing this weekly. She'll be home around dinner time today, and every other Wednesday.",

"Aw, I'm so proud of our little working girl", Tianna cooed. "Bringing home the bacon".

"Except she hates bacon", I pointed out.

"So what are we making for dinner? Finna normally cooks, but she'll probably want to relax when she gets home instead of cooking for us", Tianna asked.
