I wake up the next morning bright and early. My hair is rich and shiny and my face is well-painted ready for a day at school with June. Dad has already left when I go downstairs: where? I don't care! Mum gives me a bowl full of fruit and yogurt. This morning I only lurch once whilst eating the lumpy yogurt.
I get out the house, bag on my shoulder, and make my way to June's bus stop. I'll meet her before we get on the bus. I'll hug her before anyone else will see her. I'll talk to her before anyone else will tease her.
As expected, when I reach the stop, she's not there. After 4 minutes of waiting, I see her emerge from Pine's way. Her face hangs emotionless, her forehead crumpled with worry. She sees me and stops,only meters away. I grin and drop my bag.
Suddenly she's in my face, her tongue is in my mouth and my back is crooked to reach her tiny head. I intertwine my fingers through her gold locks. She let it down this morning, I blush when my fingers run all the way through.
I step back first, she giggles like a little school girl and hugs me again.
"Hey,June," I giggle, ruffling her hair.
"Hey,Harleen," She snorts elbowing me in the ribs. We burst out in laughter.
The bus rolls up; I'm still smiling. We sit on the bus; she's still smiling.
I only leave her once, when I go to my locker. For the rest of the day I stuck with her like glue. We barely talked. We just exchanged looks and laughed; it was so weird. Does this mean she likes me too?
On the bus she sits next to the window so I slide in beside her and leave my bag in the isle.
"Hey,"I say.
"Hey,"she replies still facing the window. Silence. "So..."
"So?"I ask, surprised.
"Do you like me then?" I smile but when she turns around she's scowling. "I'm being serious."
"What?I am. What makes you think I'm not?" I reach for her hand but she pulls away.
"Never mind,"
"June?"
"It's just..." she sighs and turns to face me properly. I look in her eyes and see tears. She's looking at the floor. "I don't want to lie to myself."
"Why would you be lying?"
"Why do you answer everything with a question?" She raises her voice slightly, "I don't want to make a fool of myself..."there's another silence. I don't know what to say. Do I embarrass her? "...but it looks like I already have." She turns away from me again and looks out the window.
I feel my heart sink like lead. A lump builds in my throat. The bus stops and she leaves without looking back. I don't follow her; I get off at my own stop.
June
I feel like such an idiot. How could I have been so dim? This whole thing was a sham. She doesn't understand. To her I'm just a toy.
That night, after I've studied, I lay in the darkness and wish that she would love me as much as I love her.

That night, after I've studied, I lay in bed with my night-light throwing a blue sheen over my walls and wonder if she loves me as much as I love her.
