The bus is packed. Every seat is taken except the one beside him.
You recognise this boy from school.
The boy with the awful rep.
The boy with the uniform that looks slept in.
The boy with bruises and tattoos.
Just my luck.
One earbud in, he stares through the window.
You hesitate, then sit beside him.
He glances at you.
「お前、、、同じ学校だっけ」
You’re … from my school right?
He doesn't sound particularly interested in the answer.
Then he puts his earbud back in.
Conversation over.
You try scrolling on your phone, but suddenly,
everything is
slower
and
yawn
you’re fast asleep on his shoulder and probably snoring. He looks mildly inconvenienced.
Before you know it, it’s the last stop.
He gets up.
You’re still dreaming away.
Just before stepping off, he stops, glances back, and pauses before poking your shoulder.
「おい、降りねーの？」
Oi. You ain getting off?
