"I'm bored...bored...bored...dead...bored..."
The man sitting next to Jason on the bus looked at him. "So call someone. You seem good at that."
"Oh, that. So how much of my conversations did you hear so far?"
"Enough."
"I thought you were sleeping."
"I was outerly sleeping but innerly trying not to barf."
Jason snorted. "You and Nick, man."
"Dude, you a walking book character or something?"
"I'm actually starting to believe so."
"Huh." The man twisted his head, getting a good look at Jason, who was looking out of the window forlornly. "Call him."
"Huh-wha?"
"Your dad."
"What?!" Now Jason's head swiveled around, and he watched the man with narrowed, pale eyes.
"Or your mom."
"What are you talking about?"
"You're in love- and really barfy in it with a girl you never met, or seen apparently. You're running away from something. People usually only have two parents, so either its daddy issues or mommy issues."
"What?" Jason squinted further, mouth pulling down into a frown. "Says who?"
"Trust me, boy, I know this stuff. Call whoever it is."
"Wait." Jason shuffled his fingers around the seatbelt, peering down into it, then mimed picking something up and showing it to the man. "Is this your nose? I found it in my business. Please take it out of here and never let me see it again." Then he rested his head on the window and closed his tired eyes.
"You know you're going to have to call whichever parent one day and talk it out. May as well be now.
"..."
"You sleep, I'll go back to my news. Don't forget to call them, though. And the bus ride is only for like three more hours so let it be before then because I want to hear it."
"..."
