I'm Fine | Lee Daehwi

Forgotten

Jaehwan invited us to his house to put our ideas together for the project and I agreed because I didn't have anything to do that day. I texted my parents before leaving the school with them. Since his house was a few kilometres away, he said we'd be hopping on the bus. Luckily, I had change.

We all ran to the bus stop in hopes that we could get the best seats. Since we were all quite healthy people, we managed to arrive first and the bus doors welcomed us on. I was behind everyone else and so I payed and entered last. I looked at the back because that's where they decided to flock to but They were all sitting together and there were not free seats next to any of them. Five of the boys squeezed together at the furthest part of the bus and the other four sat in two pairs. Wow, I feel so considered. Fighting the urge to roll my eyes or show my irritation, I quietly sat in front of them, placing myself next to the window and putting my bag in the seat next to me. 

As much as I wished to sit alone, the bus was packed with other students from the school not long after and by bag was forced to give up its comfy but dirty seat. A girl sat beside me and, to my joy, she put her headphones on. Loads of other students had nowhere to sit, so they stood in any empty space.

The bus set off and it was lively and almost deafening with all the noise from the teenagers. I just tried my best to ignore the sound and continued to stare out the window. It was so peaceful. The greenery complimented the clear, blue sky well and it really relaxed me. It relaxed me so much that I almost didn't hear Jaehwan.

"Guys, next stop!" he yelled so loudly, it attracted the attention of everyone on the bus. Not positive attention though, we received the dirtiest glares ever- but hey, there are ten of us, we all have to hear it right?

Pushing through the flood of students, I squished through small gaps to escape the bus, By the time my shoes touched the ground, I saw the nine ten metres away from me. How could they forget me? I ran to the group and silently followed them like a dog chasing its owner, it was really embarrassing. 

Come to think of it, I've never seen Jaehwan's house before. When we got there, I was amazed, but not surprised, Turns out, he lives in a massive mansion. He had gates which blocked the driveway off from the main road. It was kind of expected though since he knew how to play so many instruments- he would have needed a lot of money to learn or buy instruments.
