You boarded the school bus, your gaze falling on the seat you typically claimed as your own out of habit. Precisely, it was a window seat, towards the middle set of seats of the bus. However, unconsciously, a frown creased your forehead as you noticed a new face occupying the spot adjacent to yours. With a minor sigh, you approached, your expression more resigned than intrigued.

Flatly, you questioned whether you could get past him to sit in your seat, your tone devoid of any hint of interest or curiosity. It was a Monday morning, you really had no intention of dealing with people. In that instant, the boy looked up from his phone, a smirk playing on his lips.

"You say something, babe?"

He quipped, his flirtatious demeanor met with your indifferent stare. Great, this was exactly the type of person you were hoping not having to put up with.
