1 year and 4 months later...

I swatted away the buzzing flies hovering next to my ear. I had my feet propped up on the stool in front of me. I went off to college at the end of this summer. My eyes skimmed the thin pages of my book, Little Women, I reached both my arms up to stretch. Looked at my phone to make sure I wasn't late for school. I saw that I had to leave then or else I wouldn't make it to school on time. I ran inside from my backyard and slipped on some birkenstock sandals. I had on some beige khakis and a slightly oversized floral shirt tucked in on only one side.
I grabbed my backpack from the counter. I knew today was going to be hot, like 87°F, so I grabbed my water bottle from fridge that I had prepared the night before.
About 8 months ago I started taking the bus to school, this way I didn't have to struggle with the hassle of getting myself to school every day. And the bus was usually empty anyways since no one loved around me. I could see from the window that the bus was coming. I quickly got off of the couch and rushed outside. I did a weird job to my driveway just as the bus was coming.
I smiled at the bus driver, "Good Morning," I said.
She smiled at me and nodded her head.
As I made my way to the back of the bus, I noticed a boy sitting staring at the window, he was always there, it was Cj. But I didn't think anything about it, he was now nearly just a mere memory of somebody in the back of my head. I hadn't made any new friends that school year anyways. It had been almost 15 months since I had talked to Cj. I used to tell him everything, now I can barely imagine myself saying hi. The last thing I said to him was a goodbye one day afterschool. After the incident, nothing was ever the same between us. So that day, almost a year and a half ago was the last thing I said to him. A goodbye. I stopped thinking about Cj about 5 months after we stopped talking. I reached into my backpack to pull out my book again. It was lonely sometimes, being by yourself, I was getting used to the comfort and friendship. Now I just walked the halls alone, by myself. But I was getting used to it.
After a few minutes I could see we were approaching the school. I quickly stuffed my book into my bag as the bus stopped and opened the door. I got up from the seat and started at the door but Cj got up at the same time as me, I bumped into him as he was getting out of the seat.
"Sorry, " I said under my breath and kept going. I got off the bus looking back at him, he was looking too. I woke in to the building. A couple teachers were standing at the entrance to the building. I smiled at them and went on with my day. As I was going up the stairs. I noticed someone was coming down opposite to me. It was Monty.
But he too, was just somebody that I used to know.

***Hey guys, just to clarify some things.***

1. I "ended" the chapter on part 18 because I was gonna have a big time jump, as you can see, 1 and a half years into the future.

2. People keep asking me if this is the end of Wonty. If it was the end of, then it wouldn't be a Wonty story would it? So there is still hope for Wonty. Although I will not be saying anymore on this subject because I don't want to spoil the story.

3. If you guys have any suggestions for the story please let me know or if you want me to introduce any new characters. I am open to anything.
