Chapter 2: Bitter Cold
Franklin and Davon waited patiently at the bus stop while sipping thier hot chocolate. It was snowing that morning so the two were anxious to get to a school inside the warm building for heat. "Ugh! It's feels like forever since we've been waiting at this god-for-saken bus stop!" Franklin complained. "Relax, the bus should arrive any minute. I am just as damn near cold as you are," Davon replied crossily. Franklin simply stuck his tongue out in return while Davon wasn't looking. "Hey, nerds!" a random voice hollers. "Oh great, here comes Colton. Avoid eye contact, and maybe it'll go away," Franklin whispers. He and Davon kept looking forward, taking no heed to Coltons retorts. "I think there are some freaks who owe me for yesterday," Colton sneered. "For what?" Franklin questioned. "You owe me an apology for taking student of the week away from me!" Colton snidely commented. "What the hell do you mean by 'took it away'? I won it fair and square!" Franklin barked. "How could you have won student of the week over me? I was treating everyone like gold!" "By everyone don't you mean those two pathetic idiots that follow you around just to get attention? You treat everyone like crap! How do you expect to win with that kind of attitude?" Franklin asked. "Name one time when I treated another poorly," Colton said. "Hey, Davon, remember that time when Colton slammed that kid into the locker because he wanted to be further up in the line for lunch?" Franklin asked. "Or that time when he yelled at the teacher for a bad grade on a test that he obviously bombed?" Davon inquired. "Whatever!" Colton protested. Soon after, the bus pulled up to the stop. The door opened with a small screech as the kids boarded on. "Move! Out of my way freaks!" Colton hollered while shoving kids out of the way, including Franklin and Davon. They climbed aboard the bus and sat down in an empty seat. "Oh my god, the bus is so warm!" Davon said with relief. Ten chat-filled moments had passed on the way to school, but Franklin and Davon just remained silent from being so tired. The bus pulled up to the building stopping at the front doors and opened the door. The students climbed off the bus, and entered the building.
