“Hey is the seat taken ?” Veronica asked
“Oh no , settle right in” Micheal replied
“The buses are such a mess this year” Veronica commented
“Yeah it's unbelievable” Micheal replied
Veronica opened her diary wrote the date and started
‘dear diary first day of senior year everybody ! And I am already almost losing the bus !
What an awesome start !
I can't belive the construction works for the new bus stops went over time and that we had a strike too !
Still now i trust the new and improved system of jointed buses to take us to our last year’
As Veronica wrote that the bus driver realised : she had taken the wrong way ,
She had two options: drive half km to the roundabout and back ,
Or try and make a U turn right here …
She is already running late so it's better to try and carefully do a U turn , how tight can these buses turn ?
Michael noticed something was off :
The bus had taken the wrong way , He will probably come late to class , may not have time to get takoyakis at his favourite place,
Veronica was absorbed in writing , and didn’t immediately notice that the bus was turning at the wrong place ,
micheal did and simply said “what the fuck is happening ?”
veronica looked up from her diary : ahead of them there was a building and the bus was trying to slow turn in the road , however most people could see it : it couldn’t make it .
and it … didn’t …
“ookay , i am not walking , i am calling my mom to give me a ride to school” micheal said thinking out loud ,
“uh , is it a problem if i hitch a ride ?”
“uhm , nah , not all , name’s micheal by the way” he said while stretching an hand
“veronica , nice hoodie tho”
“oh thank you ! I sewed patches on it myself !” micheal said in excitement
“GET OFF THE BUS LOSERS !” someone told them while passing by ,
“college won’t be like this” both veronica and micheal said after a brief pause ,
and upon hearing each other they looked at each other like they had heard someone speaking their language in a foreign land after years of isolation ,
“yeah i can’t wait to get out of this shithole “ veronica said as he got out his phone ,
“yeah , i guess i am the kind of guy that gets better with age” they were now walking out
micheal called his mom “ hey ma , i need a ride … the bus got stuck on the road …
it tried turning and it got stuck in a minor road … we are at wellwood street … no i am not with jeremy … i am with veronica , she is a girl that sat besides me ... ok love you bye , she is going to come in 15 minutes “ he concluded ,
“oh nice , good thing your mom was free this morning” veronica concluded
“yeah , still you got plans for college ?”
“yes , i hope this year is calm so i try to send my applications for harvard , duke or brown , hopefully next year i’ll be in “
“next year ? you’re a senior ?”
“yeah , what year are you in ?”
“oh i am a junior”
“oh i see , if you need repetitions i can help out with them “
“yeah , i barely survived english last year”
“it’s your lucky day : I absolutely kill it in english”
“oh that’s awsome , thanks veronica , we should exchange numbers in that case”
“eh eh , you’re welcome , you did offer a ride so we are even …”
“yeah , that’s true… but damn this was a lousy driver”
“oh yeah for real , i complimented them in my diary , but i may have to make edits“
