No, love.

A bus ride to remember.

My hands shock just slightly, I grabbed the rail on the inside of the bus and hoisted myself up before finding a seat. The first day of school, I always freak out. I plug in my headphone and set my backpack beside me as I hum along with "if everyone cared" by nickelback. The bus driver drove along seeming not to notice the rowdy kids sitting behind him. I was one of the last stop, only two after me, so it wouldn't be long till we got to sch-

There he was. Leo. On my bus. Leo. In my seat. Leo. Talking to me. "Hello? Anybody home?" I heard him ask as he waved a hand in front if my face.

"What?" I said felling completely stupid. Then I noticed he was leaning closer to me. His hands reached towards my face. What would happen next? Then my music got quieter and I realized he had pulled my headphones out if my ear. I tilted my head in confusion. Did he actually want to have a conversation with me?

"Hahaha, you look like a little kid. It maybe a dog who is confused. Not that I'm calling yo- never mind." I giggled at his rambling. "So are you not talking to me then?" I shook my head and sealed my lips closed, although I couldn't help the smile dancing on my face. "Well, looks like the tickle monster is needed!!" He attacked my midsection as he tried to tickle me. I laughed like a mad woman, by this time I'm sure the whole bus was staring at us. Then he abruptly stopped tickling me. "Do you beg forgiveness?" I shook my head no, but before he could tickle me, I was tickling him. "NOA. STAP. ERMAGERGD. STAHP. HALP. NER." I started laughing hard enough I couldn't tickle him.

"Did you just do that?" I chocked out still laughing.

"Ah, so Ariel found her voice? I didn't even have to kiss you? What a shame. I was looking forward to the singing crab." I rolled my eyes at him as we pulled up to the school.
