The next day.
Nandini's pov-

I awoke and glanced at the large clock on my wall.
I decided to stop being lazy and get up,
I got dressed in my usual school clothes and I grabbed my backpack.
Leaving my house, I wait for the bus at the bus stop.

Trying to kill time, I pull out my phone and a Place my earbuds in my ears.
I turn on Rascal Flatts- Rewind
And I stare blankly at the bumpy paved road in front of me.

Most of the time, I sit at this bus stop alone.
I'm the only kid in this small neighborhood except for a few kids in college.
Manik lives down the street a ways but I've never seen him come this way.

Lost in thought, I think about the music again.

"Wish I could reach up and reset that sun.
Reverse these wheels go back and re-pick you up.
Went by so fast oh so sweet,
Make me wanna remake a memory.
Wish I had a time machine.
Oh I float the moon back up in the sky,
Put a cork back into that sweet red wine.
Put your midnight hair back up,
So you can let it fall one more time.
Untouch your skin,
Unkiss your lips and kiss 'em again.
So good, so right, this is one night
I'm wishing I could rewind.
I turn back that radio dial reopen your door,
Try to talk George Strait into giving us an encore.
Re-spin you around replay that sound,
Of you laughing when we hit the ground. I can see it now"

And just like yesterday, a cold chill runs down my spine.
I opened my eyes and I glanced to my right.
What is Manik doing here?

I take my earbuds out and wait for him to speak.

"Hello again Nandini"
He says and his pitch black eyes stare into mine.

"H-hi.."
I stutter.

He sits down next to me and I can't help but smile internally.
My breath hitches slightly, I've never actually been this close to him before.
I try to hide it but I think it's a lost cause.

"Do I make you nervous?"
He says placing his hand close to mine.
His eyes are still burning a hole in mine.

"N-no"
I respond trying to sound serious.

He brings his head close to my ear.

"Are you lying to me darling?"

I decided to say nothing.

Suddenly, I hear the loud bus start to make its way down my street.

"Meet me at the back of the school after first period"

He whispers and he gets up and quickly hops on the bus.
I sit slightly shocked for a second and then I get my wits about me.
I get up and head to the back of the school bus.
I pass him on my way back and we make eye contact.
I brake it and sit down quietly.

I stay silent and I look out the window.
I can't help thinking about what's going to happen.
Why does he want me to meet him?
Why me of all people?
I've seen him for over a year and he hasn't talked to me until recently,
I can't help but find it weird.

I get to school and I finish a few classes.
As every second passes, my anxiety gets worse.

After the first period, I walk slowly, my hands shaking towards the back of the school.
When I get there, I see no one and I stand confused.
