My eyes immediately landed on a boy with nice blonde hair and handsome green eyes. He was quiet and kept to himself the entire time.

I was attracted to him, but I was way too shy to open my mouth and initiate a conversation with him. Instead, I just stole quick glances of him throughout the ride.

Eventually, Akila noticed my admiration of the boy next to me since the next thing I knew, I heard:

"Hey Hazel!"

I turned my head towards Akila. She pointed towards the boy next to me with a smirk and a wink. In response, I nodded and mouthed "he's hot". Akila, Ashely and Jennett quickly giggled at my foolishness.

The rest of the ride was just pure awkwardness and boredom so I just pretended to sleep and nod off onto his shoulders. But he didn't seem to welcome my awkward leans.

After 2 hours of driving, the rigid bus started rocking and shaking as we were pulling up the mountain roads. I sigh, knowing how I love being outdoors, but not necessarily confident about making new friends and starting high school. The more I worried, I deeper I fell in my thoughts. Next thing I knew, I heard the bus doors creak open and kids were filing out the bus in a disorganized fashion. As I walked out, the crispy air hit me. The familiar smell of nature greeted me as I walked towards the back of the bus to retrieve my belongings.
