The Bus is Here

__________________________________________________________________

I looked at my watch, it was almost 8:00. I suppose I should go out and wait for the bus, I thought. I don't want to be late for my first day of a new school. I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Hannah. Hannah Silverton.

I came to a new school because my mother said it was this or adoption. I guess I would rather be with my father than a new set of parents, but it's not like mine do so well. I sighed; thinking about this is depressing. My father decided he didn't care about me when he left my mother and me when I was seven. Apparently he hasn't changed, because now he just ignores me and pretends I'm not here.

And back to reality, I'm going to be late for the bus. As I walk to the bus stop, I realise that I'm the only one outside. Curse this stupid small town, I growled in my head, why force me here? Why Mom?

As I was wallowing in self pity, I didn't notice someone was behind me until he tapped me on the shoulder. I quickly whirled around in alarm and had to stretch my neck to look up. Now, I'm not a short person. I'm 5"4, and I call that average. But compared to this person I'm a downright midgit!

Seeing my look of shock, he laughed, "Why do I always get that look with new people?" His body shook with laughter.

"Maybe because you're freakishly tall." I said, looking at him with sympathy, "Do you want me to apologize because your a freak?" Me saying that just made him laugh harder.

"What's your name?" The Freak asked, "I'm Brady."

"Hey Brady, my name is Hannah." I was trying not to stare. Along with his height, Brady was ripped. Not joking, his muscles were begging to be free of his shirt, which was so tight on him that you could see in detail his amazing abbs. His black shaggy hair was just past his ears, and his eyes were a deep green.

Were all the boys here this gorgeous? I demanded silently, trying to breathe.

While I was struggling with the battle in my head, I figured Brady thought I was insane. He was looking at me so weird! But all he said was, "The bus is here."
