The busses were waiting for the passengers to hop in and grab their seats. The participants of the Job Camp had already scattered everywhere near the busses but none of them thinking of getting in it. Everyone was waiting for their friends to sit together the whole journey towards home so they could have a long chat about the days they spent during the Job Camp.
Unlike the others, just after I reached the rally point where the bus was waiting, I hurriedly walked towards it and hopped in. I picked an empty seat and sat next to the window. My friend just followed and sit next to me. Minutes later, everyone was departing and grabbing their seats. At that moment, my friend said that he would sit at the back of the bus with the others.
“I’d be better sitting here. I don’t like sitting at the back because it’s bumpy and I might puke sadly if I were to sit there”, I smiled to my friend and saying no to him.
So, the sit next to me is vacant till one girl was looking for a seat. Apparently her other friends had already got their seats and left her alone standing next to my seats.
“Can I sit here?”, she asked me
“yeah..no problem. I won’t do you any harm”, I smiled
“Persie..just sit there..he wants to know you”, my groupmate during the group activity we had days back teasing us.
So she shyly sat next to me with a complete silence. I just smiled at her again and started to turn away from her and trying to get my sleeping-gear 1 so I could sink in a deep nap all the way home. I’m not that haggard after the 4 day-activities, but I prefer sleeping on a bus rather than having a chat especially with someone who sat next to me by an unfortunate event.
In the middle of the journey, I eventually opened my eyes and straighten up my body. I looked at her and started to chat a bit with her.
“What’s the time now? “
“12 noon”
“Ooo..ok.What’s ur name again?”
“Persie”
“Nice to meet U. Call me Draco”
“Nice to meet U too”
“My friend is sitting back there. I don’t like sitting at the back, that’s why I sit here alone. Not that I wanna trap someone like u sitting here and trying to chat with u and asking ur phone number at the end of the journey”, I joked with her and she just smiled at me shyly.
I continue my nap till we reached the destination and disembarked off. We shall meet again during the next class next week.
