Ximena's pov
we're on the bus now, there aren't many people on. I guess not everybody's running away but today. most of the people on the bus are older, except for one girl she looks around 14, she has her bag at her feet, its pink and sparkly.
The girl catches me looking and pushes her bag towards the inside of her seat with her feet. I quickly looked away and out the window, Grayson comes down from putting our bags on top of our seats and sits down.
I hear Grayson sigh but I don't question it, I can't talk, I feel as if I tried he would hear a dried up croak. I dig my hands in the pockets of Grayson's hoodie, that he gave me, finding comfort in them.
The bus was about to go on our journey, until it hit its breaks. I look out the window with everyone else in curiosity. It's a teenage girl around my age, she comes running on the bus, before she fully gets on she has to stop and give the driver her ticket. I guess she didn't have her ticket because the bus driver didn't let her on. The girl gets off the bus and turns around to sit on the bench, once I get a good look at her I notice she's pregnant. I want to do something but I'm powerless.
The bus starts and we start to drive off, I look outside the window and see the girl that's just my age with her head in her hands. I wish I could have done something. I shake my head and keep staring at the moving road.
"It's not like you could've done anything" I turn my head and look at Grayson, his head was laid back and his eyes were closed. he was sleeping. I look around to see who could have said that. I see a teenage boy sitting right across from Grayson and I. I thought I saw everyone on the bus, how did I miss him. He's kinda cute.
"I'm Caiden, and you're Ximena" I didn't know how to reply. I have no clue who he is but he apparently knows me.
"you don't know me, we use to go to the same high school" I look at him trying to see if I could remember him, I couldn't.
"I'm sorry, I don't remember you." I tell him still debating on the fact if he really did go to school with me.
"what school did we go to?" I ask him, this was a test so if he got it right he either did go to my old school or he's a stalker.
"Sam Houston high school" that was the high school I went to, maybe we did go to the same school.
"Well, its nice to meet you, again I guess" I awkwardly laugh at myself.
"Yeah, so why are you going to cali" he says looking over at me.
"Long story" I'm really not trying to get into it right now, I hope he doesn't keep insisting.
"I have time" he says getting comfortable
"Just trying to start a new"
"Well, that wasn't so long" he laughs getting out his phone.
"Well I really wouldn't know where to start" when I say that Grayson moves around and his head ends up on my shoulder.
"Umm" Caiden clears his throats "is he your uhh boyfriend?" Caiden asks a little to eager.
I chuckle at his question "no, he's not"
"Oh, okay" I look over at him and see him smiling out the window.
I start to get tired of looking out the window, I lay my head on Grayson's head and fall asleep for the first time in two nights.
