What time was it? Squinting, you looked over at the faint glow of your digital alarm clock.

3:43am

Huh... shit, guess you're not getting much sleep tonight. Might as well try and get some sleep for fun, maybe you could catch those pesky thoughts that kept you awake. You rubbed your eyes and rolled over to get more comfortable in your bed. Pulling the covers right up to your chin, you closed your eyes and let your mind wander, mainly to thoughts from the previous day... loop?

The ones that stood out to you were the ones that involved Penny. The time before recess when she comforted you. The many 'surprise' hugs she gave you throughout the day. Her calming scent...

You sighed, curling up into a ball under your thick duvet, feeling a swarm of butterflies cloud in your stomach when you remembered the way her arms wrapped around you in a hug. But the thing that you remembered the most was her unique scent. That odd mix of honey and metal, soothing though. You soon found yourself falling asleep quicker than ever to these calming thoughts.

---------- Time Skip to the Morning ----------

"You didn't sleep a wink last night, did you?" "shut up" you snapped at Kid's remark. From the seat behind him you could hear Carla snicker while you gave Kid a light punch on his shoulder. Carla leaned over the seat slightly and ruffled your hair. You jerked away and glared at her slightly at her. She gave you and awkward smile.

"Sorry, amigo. Thought that would help you wake up" your glared intensified.

"No you didn't. You just wanted to do that to annoy me" Carla went back to looking at her phone. She let out another snickered and didn't respond for a few moments.

"Yeah, you were right".

Huffing, you slouched further into your seat and promptly tried your best to zone out the rest of the bus ride. You really weren't in the mood to do anything today, especially since you got barely any sleep last night. Lost in thought, it took you a while to realise that Carla was smirking at you and Kid was tapping your shoulder. You looked at him out of the corner of your eye with a look that said 'What?'. Kid bit his lip and pointed out the bus window at a familiar car.

You did a double take, but you saw Bob in the driver's seat and Penny in the back of the car, looking out her window. Before you could say anything, Kid started waving his hands around frantically which caught her attention quickly. You tried your best to stop him but Kid shoved you towards the window slightly.

Looking out, you immediately locked eyes with Penny, who gave you a big smile and wave. You waved back and tried your best to ignore the hot blush creeping up your neck and on to your cheeks. You would've tried to communicate anything else, but you were suddenly pulled back into your seat by Carla.

"You shouldn't lean over Kid's seat like that! It's dangerous and you could get in trouble" she said in what was the most obnoxious 'parent' tone. Kid laughed quietly and Carla gave you a shit eating grin.

Today was gonna be a long day.

A little short chapter cause I haven't updated this story in ages. If you're wondering why Bob was driving Penny to school, I have a headcannon that he is Penny's uncle and that they're pretty close so he drives her to school since her mum is pretty busy and has to be at the school early.

Anyway, I hope you have/had a wonderful day/night.

Bye~
