CONFUSED

Chapter Three

Looking around the classroom watching all my classmates packing away their binders and pencils. My best friend faith is talking about how far we have to walk to reach our busses and I make a joke about something she said. We bounce around a few jokes before out teacher, coach Westley sternly tells us to sit down and be quiet. Laughing with my friend I sit down oddly to sit with my bag also in the seat. Sitting impatiently, as we have busses quite a walk away, I suddenly hear the intercom boom out, " Do not run or yell in the hallways. Teachers you may release your students." Quickly we all look towards coach Westley and wait for his command. "Go" he says and we are all up out our seats and shoving our way to the door. Walking out and standing in the hall we watch for Christina making her way through the crowded hallway. Joining up with Christina we make our way down the small stairwell and out the double set doors out to the front of the building of our seventh to eighth grade building, across from the sixth grade academy. We all begin talking about the story that faith and Christina had been writing about Christina and my favourite band that faith despises. Nearing closer and closer to my bus I say goodbye and hop up the stairs and look for an empty seat. Finding a seat I sit down and put my heavy bag in my lap. A while later the person I had been sitting with has gotten of the bus and I am sitting sideways comfortably back against the window. I rest my head against the seat and contemplate taking some selfies, I'm riding for another thirty minutes and I really have nothing else to do. I pull my phone out and open the camera app on my phone. It takes me a while to decide on a pose I would like to take pictures of but I find a few that I don't completely hate. A few minutes into taking selfies I see someone passing in front of my seat and pausing. I glance up and see Stephen looking down at me. Realizing he had caught my eye he pulls his mouth into a smirk and his eyes sparkle with amusement. A look of shock covered my face as he continues walking while still holding my eye. I internally gasped and closed the camera app on my phone and open instagram.

Me: dude Stephen just freaking smirked at me while I was taking selfies
Faith: 😂
Me: it's not funny 🙄

After texting faith I shook my head and rested my head against the seat again and decided to think of all the things that had happened before with him... the initial meeting, the comments, now this... is it still just being friendly or just a kind civilian? I don't know anymore.
