He slipped through the bus doors in a hurry, backpack in his left hand, his pale blue headphone cord interlocking with the crimson string of wool on his ring finger , Moving between people to find an unclaimed seat. He internally squeals when, about 2 minutes later, his eyes catch an empty seat.
He finally lays on the plastic surface, music blasting through his hearphones, and takes time to observe the boy to his right. He was a petite brunette, with dark eyes and plump cherry lips. Manny watched as the boy nodded his head up and down to the beat of whatever pop song he was listening to. He then lowered his eyes to the nametag that hung on his sweater. 'Alex'. What a nice name. Suddenly, 'Alex' lifts his head to stare at the man next to him. Manny quickly turns away and, looking for an excuse, he quickly starts untangling his red and baby blue cords from eachother. Looking at the red string, he realizes that there's about a meter of red string near his feet. He frantically looks to his right, making an amazing discovery. His string leads to 'Alex'. The other boy stares at him, and Manny gestures for him to look down. Once the boy understands what's going on, he gives the man next to him a shy
smile, and manages to utter a sentence:
