I stood in the rain waiting for my bus to arrive. It was freezing. The wind blew the tiny drops of liquid at my face. Shuddering, I wrap my arms around my torso. C'mon, Zex, I thought to myself. Hang it there. Glancing at my watch, I sigh. The bus should have been here nearly 10 minutes ago. Hope welled up inside of me when I saw a pair of headlights approach…and hope disappeared as soon as the vehicle passed. The car had driven over a huge puddle, leaving me soaked. I spit the dirty water that, somehow, ended up in my mouth onto the ground.
"Wonderful," I grumbled. "Just how I need to start the day…wet,"
What felt like hours later, the bus pulled up. As soon as the doors opened, I got on and looked for a seat. Now, normally, there's so many kids piled in here there's no room, but today was different. Almost everyone was sitting towards the back of the bus. There was only one kid sitting in the front.
He has blonde hair that stuck up in the front and halfway around the sides. A few single strands hung in his face. He glances at me with pure blue eyes and then stares back at the ground.
I hear someone call my name. Marluxia was standing up and waving me over. I smile and make my way over to him.
"Hey, Zex," He greeted. Patting the empty space next to him, he grins. "Saved a seat for ya,"
"Thanks," I smile back as I take a seat. "Why is everyone sitting back here?"
"No clue," The boy frowned.
I looked to the left of me. Axel, the bad-mouthed, ill-mannered school bully was casually laid across the entire seat. How damn rude. He had a toothpick hanging out of his mouth and his arms behind his head. As much as it killed me inside to have to communicate with him, my curiosity overruled everything.
"Axel,"
"Oh," The red-head smirked. "Is emo boy actually talking to someone? I feel so honored."
"Stuff it. I just want to ask you something." I hiss back.
"Then by all means, ask away. What," He flashes his pearl-white teeth. "You want to know my secret of being so popular and not such a retard?"
"No," I bite my tongue to avoid cussing him out. "I want to know why everyone's back here."
"The hair hanging in your face must be blinding you." Axel said. "That's a new kid sitting up there."
"So? What's wrong with that?"
"Do the math, genius."
"Geez, I only asked a simple question. Even a Neanderthal could give a straightforward answer back."
Axel scowled. "You'd better watch your mouth, nerd." With that, he spit the chewed up toothpick on the floor of the bus.
I shrug and turn back to Marluxia. "What a bastard,"
"Come on, Zex, you know Axel," Marluxia laughs. "He's always running his mouth."
"Yeah, I guess so…" I groan. "The sooner we get to school the better."
