Chapter 51 Bus Seat
While Daniella waits for Bree at a mall. “Hello! Bree where are you?” she asked on the other line of the phone call.
“I’m close, just a few minutes.”
“All right.” And she dropped the call. “I know that meant just a few minutes, Bree. The real meaning was that I had to wait another hour before she arrived. ” She went to the second floor of the mall because there was a part with a garden there and only umbrellas on the roof. She sat down and looked around when suddenly someone sat in her opposite chair with the table between them. Her eyes widened as she recognized who was in front of her. “Mushroom!”
He smiled at her. “How are you?” he asked.
“I’m okay.”
“How about my suggestion. Was it successful?”
“Quite.”
His forehead furrowed. “Quite?”
“Yes, because he seems to know that I’m just acting.”
The man smiled slightly. “That’s a big improvement.”
“How could it be an improvement if he knew right away that I was just acting that time?”
He leaned back in the chair. “Because it means he already knows the action and what you’re doing. Do you think he’ll even notice that if he doesn’t look at you too, right? ”
She was scratching her head. “I don’t know. It’s hard to know what his thinking is because of his facial expression, so I don’t know what he wants to convey.”
“Is that so? Why are you here? Are you waiting for someone?”
“A friend of mine. How about you, what are you doing here? You have a date here? ”
He laughed softly. “I only come here once because I’m doing something important in this place.”
Suddenly, Daniella’s phone rang, which meant someone had texted. She read it, and it was Bree who texted that she was already on the first floor of the mall. “Nice seeing you again, but I need to leave.”
“Okay.” She smiled at the man and left the place.
Upon descending Daniella, she immediately looked for Bree and found her in a chair on the side of a store. “You were already here before you called?” she asked.
“I just arrived. Come with me so we can go home early.”
The two entered a store where they could buy summer suits such as summer dresses, hats, and more. They plan to buy Daniella rashguards so that their skin will not be exposed too much to the sun. They were both bought with a sleeveless top and shorts.
“Okay, maybe we should go to the store where we can buy skin protection like sunblock,” Bree suggested.
“All right.” While the two choose a good sunscreen. Daniella asked. “Aren’t we going to buy a snack to eat on the bus while traveling to the place where the island tour is?”
“It’s okay if the two of us are next to each other. I know there’s a seating arrangement. ”
Her forehead furrowed. “Until I get into the bus seat, there is a seating arrangement.”
“Yes, but we can buy it in case if I’m not next to you and others. It’s embarrassing to eat and then they don’t have any. ”
“Is that a problem? I give them one and we’re both eating. ”
Bree frowned. “Crazy! Don’t you know that we have another section on the bus? ”
“No, besides the number of us in one section, why do we have another section on the bus?”
“Because not all of our classmates came, we had to add other students to the bus.”
“Let’s just buy a snack away from the trip.”
“You’ll take care of it. Maybe later you’ll have another section next to you, and then you won’t know until you’ve run out of time thinking about how to offer what you’re carrying.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
She just scratched her hair. “I’ll just think that problem later when I’m in the situation.”
Bree stopped at a shelf of sunscreen. “It just looks good on the skin. Let’s pay in the cashier. ”
When the two were tired, they ate at a food court first. “I heard something, Daniella.”
“What?”
“We have a junior-senior prom, but I don’t know when.”
She stared at Bree while eating, but she was stunned. “Why do you know so much about school activities? Do you plan to be a newscaster? ”
“No, I just heard from other student.”
“You can even be a news caster then.”
“Just eat, then we get home.” The two just ate quietly.
When the two got home, Daniella immediately arranged what she would bring tomorrow as well as the snack she bought and then went to sleep.
The next day, the students on their island tour were early to school. Some are already on their buses, but Daniella is already in the bus outside because she is waiting for Bree and asking what her bus number is.
“Daniella!” Bree shouted.
She turned her attention to it. “It’s good that you’re here. What’s your bus number? ” she asked.
“Huh, why?”
“I’ll see if we’re just the same bus.”
Bree picked up a piece of paper. “Number 2 is the bus I take.”
She looked at it disappointed. “Number 1 is mine.”
“We’re not the same as the bus. You go inside and I’ll go to the bus I’ll take. It’s almost time for us to leave. ” Bree left and went to the bus she was taking.
She slowly went inside and looked at the students, but Bree was right; she saw an unfamiliar face, and she knew it was in another section. She looked for her seat with the number and saw it in the middle of the bus near the window, so she sat down immediately, but there was no one next to her.
Thirty minutes later, Daniella was drowsy and she heard the bus engine start and it was ready to leave, but she still had no one next to her. She didn’t wait for the bus to leave and just leaned back and covered her face with a handkerchief to sleep. Daniella’s sleep was about to deepen when she felt someone sitting next to her and finally fell asleep.
Two hours ago, Daniella fell asleep while leaning her head against the bus window, and now she looks awake based on the movement of her eyes, even though it closed. She slowly opened her eyes, but she was stunned for a moment because her head was no longer leaning against a window and figure it out that it’s a human shoulder. She suddenly turned around and immediately looked at the person next to her with a bucket hat on his face, so she also didn’t know who that man was, but he was a man.
She sat properly and just looked out the window as if nothing had happened, because she was really embarrassed if the person next to her was awake. When her stomach suddenly rumbled, it signaled that she was hungry. She grabbed her bag and looked at the person next to her again. Even though she was hesitant, she took the bread out of her bag and slowly opened it just so that the person next to her would not wake up, and when she successfully opened it without waking it up the person next to her, she smiled.
Daniella’s mouth was almost full of bread when the person next to her spoke. “Aren’t you going to be stuck there with your food?”
She was excessively focused on chewing the bread in her mouth, so she was surprised when the person next to her spoke, so she coughed because she had suddenly swallowed the other bread she had already chewed. The one next to her had just shaken his head, which she still wasn’t looking at. Suddenly, there was a bottle of water in front of Daniella, so she immediately drank it and there was not even a drop of water left.
She sighed after she was so nervous. Look at the person next to her. “Thank you for this….” But her eyes gradually widened when she saw who was next to her. “William?”
He looked at her with two eyebrows raised before moving to the plastic of bread that was still have a half. William suddenly took it and ate it.
She frowned. “Wait! Why did you take my food? ”
“It’s just in exchange for your consuming my water.”
“Is it my fault that you ran out of water? Why did you give it to me?”
“What do you want me, to watch? You lose your breath. It’s okay if you want. Repeat what you did a minute ago. ”
She narrowed her eyes at him. “I don’t know if he’s kind to that or not,” she said to herself. “Is this your bus? Why are we together?” she asked.
William didn’t speak and just faced the paper with number 1 to her. “Here’s your seat next to me too?” It nodded in response.
She was dumbfounded for a moment. “Is it all a coincidence or does destiny really work its way up?” She smiled.
“You look crazy.”
She looked at it angrily. “Don’t interfere if I smile like crazy.” She properly sat and just looked out the window while William just shook his head and leaned back in the chair.
