The New Boy

Thumping Heart

No ones (POV)

There was only one bus that was on the highway seven in the morning. Not because no one wakes up early, but because the destination of this bus is a place that's less popular for regulars. Most hot blooded youngsters would stay in the city or run to the wild waves of the beach during the hot summer days. However, those with peculiar tastes would travel a bit longer, and find themself lost in the beautiful calm place filled with soft fluffy snow, and a small cozy hotel. The hotel was used to having only one bus load of visitors per day, and this bus so happens to be the one going to that very hotel.

The white haired driver was a professional, having driven people for over many years, after deciding to settle down on this floor and raising a family with the owner of the hotel. He noticed there were more than the normal amount riding today. There were many regulars, (perhaps even some irregulars), on, some chattering away, and some falling into a deep slumber. After all, the ride from the city to the back country would take an hour and a half. The bus would leave the city, pass a tranguiled sunflower field, before slowly arriving at the snow mountains. The temperature would, of course, slowly drop as well. The bus driver shook his head and sigh, many youngsters were not well prepared and had short sleeve clothes and shorts on.

There were many giggling on that bus. If you're wondering why, it's perhaps because of the two regulars sitting on the last row of the bus. The girls in front were blushing furiously, saying one of the two boys on the back row was too adorable, and the other was too handsome. Now with the two of them together, the scene was of another world, too illogical for the girls to stare at and say nothing. Therefore, they can only gossip between the other girls. The "adorable" boy they speak of, was none other than Leo, with his red cap on and leaning on the window, sleeping quietly. He had on a bright yellow hoodie, the color of blazing sunflowers, and grey shorts. Staring at Leo, and sitting right next to him was none other than the "handsome" Khun. Khun was smart enough to wear warmer clothes, as he had on a white hoodie, a black bomber jacket, and long khaki pants. His blue hair was tied back into a low ponytail.

The bus ride was not all that smooth, as there were bumpy times, and smooth sailing time. And whenever the bus hits a bump on the road, Leo's head would hit the window with a small bang. The blue head would flinch whenever this happens. Perhaps hearing this too many times, Khun decided to move Leo's head, and have his head lay on his shoulder instead. This made the girls let out a few squeals. But Leo seemed oblivious to all of this, and was indeed, still in deep dream. When the time comes, and you can feel the cold air creep up onto your skin, the red cap boy would give a shiver before moving in closer to Khun. This made the blue haired boy blush suddenly. Khun reaches for his bag next to him and brings out the two newly bought cream color coats and lays one Leo's leg, which has exposed skin since he wore shorts, and uses the other one as a shared blanket between them. Afterwards, Khun decided he could finally take a rest before his big trip, and slowly closed his eyes. He lays his head on top of Leo's red cap, and he, too, falls into a deep slumber.

The bus rode up the main entrance of the hotel. It was a simple hotel, the outside made of logs, but the inside looks modern. The lobby resembles that of a small cafe, with the rooms for rent upstairs. There were hanging lights and lit candles surrounded by fake but elegant flowers on each of the lobby tables. Only two square windows can be found, allowing just enough light in, and for the candle lights to illuminate the rest of the room, creating a pleasant feeling when one walks in.

The driver got off, along with the passenger, and met up with his wife, the hotel owner. The couple talk on the side while the hired employee quickly lets the arrivals get settled in and room keys pass out. People start filing in and walking up the stairs, pulling their luggage along. Khun and Leo were the last to get off the bus, and quickly ran to catch up with the rest of the group. Puff of air can be seen from their mouth, and Leo's face seems a little flush. Their coats are now worn on, and it seems they even have put on scarves, matching red scarves. Seeing that everyone has gotten off, the bus driver got back on and drove the bus to the back to park it. Normally this is it for the day, and no more people would come till tomorrow's bus load. However, not even 30 minutes had passed when one black car pulled up.
