Party Poison

The bus halted for the mysterious figure. The bus driver
then opened the door for the newest passenger. This bus driver was on the crotchety side, and had a scratchy, rough smoker's voice. The boy entered whilst being assaulted with much unkind language. "Twice in one day! I'm tellin' ya'! What's wrong with kids these days?! They can't even be on time. Once, I can take, but twice is outta' the question!" Much to the uptight driver's dismay, the boy paid no mind to his harsh insults.

The boy appeared rather meek to the untrained eye, but she was sure he could blow a fuse when pushed too far. This boy unknowingly had caught her eye. That may have been due to his distance from the world. He seemed to blow off everything as if it didn't matter at all. As he slunk down the aisle unsure of his surroundings, he glanced around at the limited seating options. When he drew nearer she noted that he was wearing a Korn hoodie. There was an open seat in the back that was a danger zone for underclassmen. He must have realized this because next thing Robin knew, he was settling in beside her.

She was startled at this occurence, but she didn't have too much time to worry because he started on his apology. "Sorry about sitting here, but those guys in the back looked pretty fierce, and I didn't want to start any trouble on my first day," he sputtered out apprehensively. Robin remarked "It's alright. I would have done the same thing myself." "So," he implored "ya' got a name?" "Robin Reid, nice to make your acquaintance. " "Acquaintance? Well, you sure have a funny way of talking." She shrugged as he chuckled. "I'm just funnin' with ya'. " He paused in thought. "Oh, I almost forgot. My name's Gerard Way."

The rest of the ride passed by quickly, and with an air of excitement. They spoke of bands, classes, scenery, and hobbies. It turns out that they have a lot in common with each other. She also informed him of fellow classmates to look out for. As she looked into the eyes of this handsome new friend, she thought to herself "Maybe today won't be so bad after all."

Notes
