"Sorry guys, the seats have already been full. We don't have seats for a single student," Mrs. Browne said with an apologetic look.

I adjusted my glasses, looking back at Rosalyn, who had the same disappointed look on her face. She pouted. "Please, Mrs. Browne. We will adjust to the students. I and Dave are slim we would take only a single seat to adjust."

"Oh really?" We heard Travis's voice. He and Ava were standing just behind us. "Just look at your fat butt. You need at least two seats to adjust your bum...."

"Shut up!" Rosa snapped. "One day I'll torture you and you'll be begging me for mercy!"

"Whoa! I am afraid of you!" Travis mocked, giving her a wink.

"Mrs. Brownie, did you talk to my father?" Ava asked.

"Yup, I've talked to him," she said, smiling. "You can come, but the rest of your friends cannot. We have only two seats left which are reserved for you and Sarah."

"What the fuck!" Travis growled. "Do you mean I can't get in?!"

Rosa chuckled.

"You can also come in.." Mr. Madoka, our sports teacher said, suddenly, popping out from the bus.

"But..we don't have enough seats, Dai," Mrs. Brownie argued, annoyed by him.

"Chill down! I have an idea." Mr. Madoka said cheerily and turned to us. "This is possible only if you guys will support us. We can make girls sit on boys' laps."

I looked at Rosalyn; she looked at me with a big smile on her face. If Rosa had no problem, I could do it.

"So guys, what do you think? Are you ready?" Mr. Madoka asked, grinning.

I hesitated for a bit before giving him a nod. "I'm ready."

"Do you have any problem?" Travis asked Ava.

Ava sighed exasperatedly and gave him a nod. "Okay."

We boarded the bus together. "Hey," Tim chirped when he saw us enter. Oh, that asshole was already there with Tessa, who was sitting beside him.

"What the heck?!" Travis blurted out. "My sister is already on the bus with that spaghetti! And here I was struggling for one seat?" He gritted his teeth. "And that fucker!" He pointed at Ian, who was sitting between two brunettes. His hands were on each of the girls' laps. "He has seats reserved for those girls but not for us."

I rolled my eyes and went to the last seat of the bus. I took the window seat and looked at Rosa. But before Rosalyn could sit in my lap, Ava plopped down quickly. I paused for a moment what the fuck! I watched her, confused. Why the hell did she sit in my lap? "What the hell are you doing?"

"Keep quiet and enjoy the trip." She shut me up and looked out. I could see the evil smile playing on her lips.

I looked at Rosalyn, who was fixed to her place, with a shock on her face. "It was my place!" She growled, ready to tear Ava's hair at any moment.

Travis took a place next to me, smirking. "This is your place." He patted his lap. "Come here."

Rosalyn placed her hands on her hips, glaring between Travis and Ava. "Get off!" She demanded, grabbing everyone's attention. All the students turned to us. "I said get off!"

"What's going on?" Mr. Madoka asked from a distance. "Everything is fine?"

"Sit down or get out of here. Just don't create the drama!" Ava hissed at her. "These seats have been reserved for me and Sarah. But unfortunately, she fell sick and Travis is the idiot that he's got ready to share our seats with you two. Otherwise, I wouldn't allow you to come here with us."
