We don't say a thing to one another, as we just stare straight ahead. My mind is rushing with thoughts, hoping something good comes out of this.
"Ha I won once again, you really need to improve your skills." Aaron says, putting the control down.
"I did, I'm in 8th place now, I use to always be in 12th, meanwhile you are still getting 1st place." I proudly say.
"Yeah, okay bud. We should get going before it gets late out." Aaron says staring right at me with his hazel eyes.
"Good idea." I say, holding the door open as I wave goodbye to the game stop cashier.
We sit crowded on the bus, as it always is on weekdays. Except for all the other times, we sat crowded next to one another. Our shoulders squished together, and our knees touching, while we argued about Harry Potter vs. Supernatural. This time he is sitting across from me, as we both glance to each other, from time to time, as people get off the bus, making it easier to breath. Soon, it's only us on the bus, and Aaron gets up and starts to act out parts in Harry Potter. I roll my eyes at him, laughing when the bus driver tells him to sit down.
"When are you going to come to your senses, Danny?" He says.
"The real question is, when are you?" I say, with a chuckle.
He sits next to me, as my heart starts to race, Aaron and I been friends since the beginning of high school, and now we are both 16. I've always imagine this place, in a different world, maybe somewhere him and I are in a relationship. Just maybe.
"Danny..."
"Aaron..." We both say each other's names at the same time.
"I have to tell you something." He says, turning his body to me.
"I do too, but you go first."
"No, it's fine. You go first." Aaron says.
"Okay, well I've been meaning to tell you this, for sometime now..." I say, looking down, unable to control my breath.
The bus suddently comes to a stop.
"Looks like this is my stop." I say, getting up.
"Wait, Danny what we're you going to say?" Aaron says, tugging at my hoodie.
"It was nothing important, I'll see you tomorrow." I say, smiling at him, as I get off the bus.
I walk home, as the sun is completely gone, not seeing anything but the starry night full of light. I smile, as today was another great day, and hope to tell him another night.
