Suspenful feelings

The bus was 20 minutes late picking me up.
shit…
There was a sub that day and he needed help from the children to find all the stops. He was at least 70 by the looks of it. I was only the 3rd stop, and it was 7:30. We shouldve been on the highway by now.

“You wanted to ask her, didn’t you?” asked Matt.
I bit my lip and frowned.
“Yea..”
“It’s ok man, there’s always tomorrow. Oh, and I talked to Kris yesterday, she said that girl’s name that you like is Emily. Ha, i saw her too, she’s ugly.”
I looked at him as if he were insane.
“Hey, just kidding, jeez” he said laughing.
We arrived at school at about 8:30, right when the 1st period bell rang.
ugh
I put my violin in the kennel room and went off to 1st period. I had no idea what her schedule was, so i could only hope to see her in the hallway.

I was on the bus again at 3:30. I didn’t see her at all that day. Matt didnt bother me, but gave me a “what’d she say?” look.
I gave a sideways thumbs up.
another night without sleep…
