one less lonely girl

- 5 -

i took deep breaths and tried staying calm until a group of boys all came through the bus and all sat at the back. i felt way more uncomfortable and just wanted to leave. "man this phone was outside i wonder who's it is" i turned over to man talking and looked at the phone. it was mine. he has it. how do i tell him that?

he tried unlocking the phone and failed to. "um that phone is mine" i said letting out short nervous chuckle. "oh im sorry, here." the boys looked at me as he got up and handed me my phone. i took it and put it in my back pocket. the bus took off and i walked to the driver. "um sir?, where are we heading?" the guy looked at me confused and ignored me.

i rolled my eyes and sat back at my seat, i took out my phone to realize it was dead. i took my bag off and took out my charger. i looked around for a plug in and one of the boys pointed one out for me. "thank you" i quickly smiled and plugged it in and set my phone to charge. "yo who even are you?" the boy asked. "im not supposed to here the driver set me on this bus on accident" i noticed wiggy and looked at him. wiggy added "damn, your names seven right?" i nodded. "well i guess youre still gonna be watching our luggage" i wasnt sure if he was joking or not. "how do i get home?" wiggy stood up and puts his arm over my shoulder.

"you see babygirl, once you get on the bus you stay on the bus" he chuckled and his breath smelled like alcohol and cigarettes. i didnt say anything and he looked at me. "chill out im teasing, dont worry youll get home." wiggy rubbed my shoulder. it comfort me a little bit but i still know my mom is worried sick. "so im talking to myself?" i shook my head "no im listening" wiggy nodded and walked away.

"ay come sit, get comfortable" one of the boys said. i sat next to him and they all smelled like alcohol and sweat. "im tracy and thats goth, gus and wicca oh and horsehead" i nodded and looked at all the boys he pointed at. wiggy handed me a glass of wine and i shook my head. "im sorry, i dont drink" wiggy gasped. "i don't believe you" i chuckled and wiggy drank the wine and shrugged. "why dont you drink?" um because a fucking drunk driver killed my dad. "im underage.." i gave a short smile.

"so" goth added. i looked at him and chuckled. "i was drinking underage" i slowly nodded. "i can tell" that came off rude i barely even know this boy and im already being a meanass. i smiled at him after. the boys oohed. "are there any girls here?" i looked around. "nope, just you babygirl" wiggy said laughing. im going to hide the fact he called me babygirl, hes just drunk. all the boys looked familiar. "is this gbc?" i said confused. "no, this is the cheetah girls" tracy said. the boys laughed. "yes this is gbc." i nodded. "well my friend really likes you guys" the boys nodded.

i turned over to gus who was rolling a blunt and lit it, they started passing it around until it got to me and i took the blunt. knowing ive never smoked before. "this is my first time" i chuckled nervously. "damn, look here just relax and take the hit and youll be fine" i nodded knowing i have no clue how to even take a hit. i attempted to take a hit and blowed out the smoke and coughed after. "oh god." tracy laughed while i passed it back to him.

after a few hits of the blunt and the boys socializing it hit 1am. gus never really talked. he was kinda to himself. interesting. "hey is there a shower on this bus?" i whispered to tracy. hes the only one im really comfortable with. "yeah, you got any clothes to wear?" i shook my head. "you can pick out a shirt in my bag" he pointed to his bag. "may i use this towel?" he nodded and sat back sober and tired. i picked up a washcloth and towel and picked out a shirt. i looked around for the shower and when i found it i walked in and started it up. i took off my clothes and washed up. i think i can get used to this..
