17hands beneath me

As I walk down to the bus stop I am seriously freaked out. What if Matt doesn't come and I have to catch the bus by my self. What if Mat is a really bad photographer and we fail Art. What if he decides I'm weird and asks our teacher to help him change partners. What if after that he tells the whole bloody school I'm weird and in stable and slightly crazed!
Even as I think this I am slightly hyperventilating I know I am over thinking it but there is always that little what if in life, always.

I let out I sigh of relief when I saw Mat saying goodbye to his friends and walking down to the bus stop, I knew he would never stand me up but I have a habit of over thinking things, according to a personality test I think way to much.

Mat's perspective

She looked so perfect standing there, her hair was slightly loose and her school clothes where too small for her showing of her lovely long legs, when she moved those legs flexed and you could see all the muscle she must have got from her horse riding.

I felt strangely energised by seeing her, I can't possibly have a crush on Alice that wouldn't be possible I had only known she was alive for a day and I had never talked to her before today either.

I must be going mad.

Alice's perspective

I am such a weirdo, I completely forgot my bus money! you might ask where my go card is, but lets just say El Macho found out that go cards do not taste very yummy.

Mat being the nice guy he is payed for my fare and when I offered to pay him back he refused, apparently he has plenty of money as it is.

The bus ride was awkward I had no idea what to say to him without accidentally shouting out "I have has a crush in you since third grade" imaging how everyone would stare!
Talking about staring I'm pretty sure all the eyes where on mat sitting next to me, everyone was probably whispering "why is the popular boy going home with the weirdo", or something like that.

I wonder how long it will take for the entire school to know he went home with me.
I wonder how long it will take for Rumours to spread about me and Mat all good for him but all bad for me, unless if course they say I'm his girl friend, that wouldn't be that bad!

Mat's perspective

Everyone is looking at Alice and I, probably starting rumours as they go. I don't really care though, being popular has taught me too be have a thick skin and not to listen to what people say.

It's a really awkward silence and I have a yearning to do the little awkward turtle thing with my hands even though I have done that since primary school.

Life on the bus is pretty uneventful until we pull into what must be Alice's and my stop, Alice has stood up early and as the bus suddenly stops she grabs me for support, I nearly laugh out loud as her face goes a bright red.

Alice's perspective

I can't believe I just grabbed onto him to hold me up, he saw me blush and laughed

Ahhhhh

I am so weird and now he knows that!
