I look up at the road, silently wishing for the bus to arrive. I vaguely notice someone sitting down beside me. I flickered my eyes to the person and to my surprise it was the bus boy.
"Hi." He says.
"Your stop is the next one." I state bluntly. I didn't really want to talk to him.
"I know, but I wanted to talk to you."
"About what? Just to call me a wacko again?' I ask harshly.
"To apologise." He explains. "I shouldn't have said what I said and I'm sorry."
'Why are you apologising?" I ask in a quiet voice.
"Because it's the right thing to do." He says. "And I want to start over."
"You want to be friends with me?' I ask, reading between the lines.
The bus pulls over at the stop.
"Yes." he states firmly.
"You don't want to be friends with me." I say standing up and walking over the to bus door.
"Can I at least still sit next to you on the bus?" He calls out.
"Whatever.' I reply, but a smile was on my face.
