The Bus Ride

It all started on the bus, but then again doesn't everything start on a bus. It was a couple weeks into freshman year, and Amaryllis West was just getting used to the new routine.

That's when she noticed him for the first time, when they got off at the same bus stop.

For the next year and a half, Ama fell in love with the boy from afar, only learning his first name when he saw it on his baseball bag. It wasn't until the middle of sophmore year that she learned anything else about him.
