How Fast It Can Go

S H E E N A G H

I stared outside the bus window. A pair of grey eyes that shouted "ashes" were staring lifelessly at what people thought to be luscious. Pink lips that were pursed and fingers fiddling with a book.

Darn, I wanted to read the mother effin' book but I would probably end up believing that I was spinning along with the Earth. Sure some people get a bit dizzy or a mild headache when they read while riding a vehicle. I'd get dizzy to the nth level.

Sleeping was not an option either, why? I just woke up! My eyes are tired from sleeping 4 hours straight. Which reminded me to check the time. How did I know that I slept for four hours? Just a guess.

11:04 am

Great! A few more minutes until the bus will stop at a diner. No. Not great. About 50 minutes before the clock hits twelve and that is not a few minutes. I groaned and lunged for my hair tie that was on the table.

"Sheenagh?" Shelliv looked at me with her wide eyes that protected two electric blue orbs. I have always wanted eyes like those. Eyes that held vibrant colored orbs. Not like mine.

"Why did the school decide to do this?" I cupped my face with two of my hands while my elbows were both on the table. I gave her a pout to which she smiled at. Guess I was that cute, huh?

She shrugged then said, "I don't know." After that, she decided to plug in her earphones and escape the Earth. She'll probably end up in Pluto the Forgotten since that is where she belongs. A hundred percent true. She'll live in Pluto.

(see what i did there?)

I checked Jamellie who was sitting beside Shelliv facing Levyan and me. She was busy texting God knows who. I grunted because why not.

Shel chose to go to Pluto instead of staying here on Earth and Jamellie was busy talking with her boyfriend-but-not-boyfriend boyfriend.

So, I slowly turned my head to the left, hoping that Vyan is still here on Earth and that she was not being the typical Vyan.

I let out a sigh when I saw her eyes open. She was only staring at my window and was probably deeply thinking.

"Vyaaaaann" I whispered but was enough to pull her out of her trance. Suddenly, her tweet "writing down exquisite notes" crashed into my mind.

"Yeah?" She leaned back and I noticed her body relax.

"About your tweet" I started and moved closer to her. "What happened?"

She gave me a smile and this was not the typical Levyan smile, because it was not a bitchy smile. It was a mixture of sadness and......... bitchiness.

"You know me so well, huh?"

"Duh. We became bestfriends first."

"Huh" I gave her a look after her reaction. It was the look I give when I notice a person trying to stir the topic away.

"Ok, ok. My Mom and I got into a fight. You know what's happening to both of us during 1st quarter right? When we come back from our 1 week field trip, the school will be announcing the students who managed to be part of the honor's list"

She continued while I tied my hair into a messy bun. "We had a conversation the night before and she told me if- if I was still gonna make it to the list."

I removed my hair tie and brushed my hair. I just spent seconds to put my hair into a messy bun but I ended up disliking the feeling.

"You said 'I don't know' didn't you?" She showed me a sheepish smile and nodded slowly. I laughed quietly since most students were asleep.

"Let's not focus on that, shall we? After all, we're here for a school trip. Besides, it's not like we will die if we cannot make it to that list. The list can fuck the pen of the Principal" she laughed at the last sentence and that made me happy.

"I'm so good at this shit" I silently said yes while fistbumping the air.

"No, I just laughed so you wouldn't feel bad." I showed her my duck face which caused her to laugh even more. This little piece of shit that I just cheered up was practically calling my advice shitty.

I was about to fire a bitchy comeback but we heard the door open. I stood up to check who the hell entered the bus and I saw a teacher so I immediately sat down and kicked Jamellie and Shelliv. I mouthed the word 'gadget' and both quickly tucked theirs inside their pockets. Very strict I know.

"STUDENTS " I winced and the others covered their ears at how high pitched maam Hervin's voice was. I quickly grabbed Shel's earphones that she hid inside her pocket because Maam Hervin's high pitched voice was unbearable for me. Too unbearable. Hastily, I hid the wires inside my jacket and grabbed a neck pillow which was enough to hide them earphones.

I plugged in the earphones and chose a song for me to listen. I looked at the window to my right and saw my reflection. I saw my horrified face and I internally laughed.

A stranger's eyes that somehow looked familiar
I know that when it's you
I'll remember
Remember

So wait for me
I swear I'll find you
Climbing every wall that hides you
You and I remember something better

The song was enough to keep Maam Hervin's voice out of my hearing. However, it did not prevent humans from coming near me since I saw green shoes in front of me. I lifted my head up only to see a Shelliv looking at me with a panicked expression.

I looked past her and I saw that the girls were already lining up, so I stood up and slung my backpack's sling over my shoulders. I told Shelliv to go on ahead because I needed to find my book. It fell down without me noticing, which was helluva miracle.

When I finished, everyone was almost out so I smiled to myself because I had just managed to catch up.

I was the last girl to exit the bus so before I place both of my feet on the ground, I took one glance at the whole place. We, ninth grade, were supposed to be occupying the tables in the left side while the tenth grade students in the right. Ok! I'm huuuungryyy

I joined the line of ninth grade girls and beside us were the boys. I closed my eyes and gladly absorbed the heat radiating from the sun. It was fucking cold in there!

I had a wide smile plastered on my face while both of my hands rested on either side of my hips. I turned to the boy beside me and opened my eyes.

"So what did "the she" say?" I still had my smile on while the boy beside me looked at me with his usual pokerface. I still kept my smile on even if he, still, hasn't answered my question. Without removing my smile, I turned my head away from him and looked forward. Today will be a bright day if I focus on optimistic stuff!

It felt like nothing could go wrong.

Until I was painfully smacked at the back of my head.
