Forbidden Love

4. The drive

Jackson and David decided to sit next to each other so I got my own seat. Which honestly, is SO much better. Don't get me wrong I think they're cool people but this is small as it is. I couldn't imagine having to share it.

The bus ride is long but I still refuse to sleep. In my world that's the epitome of humiliation. But when I look to my left I see that David has already fallen asleep. I think to myself, How. First of all, he's in the isle seat, who manages to fall asleep in the isle? Second of all, isn't he embarrassed to be doing that?

I peek out of the seat to the numerous people behind us in other rows. To my surprise, a lot of people are just, asleep. I lean back in my seat and look back at David. I don't know why but something makes me feel weird when I look at him. Whatever. If it makes me feel weird I'm just gonna stop looking at him. Problem solved. But the second I look away, I yearn to gaze upon his face again. I decide the best thing to do it to attempt to sleep. And surprisingly, it was quite easy.

About 30 minute later I'm awoken to the sound of our director, Arthur speaking to us. So far I hate the guy. He's loud and seems to have zero sense of humor. The boys in the back of the bus are joking around and being loud and Arthur seems to not be having it. He gives a look to what seems to be his teachers pet of a counselor, Brett. He's such a kiss ass it isn't even funny. Brett heads to the back of the bus to keep the boys quite and Arthur starts telling us how the day is gonna play out. He says in about an hour we will be at Hershey Park and that when we arrive we will get out lunch vouchers immediately. He keeps rambling but I tune him out and stare out the window.

I'm caught up in daydreams and thoughts while looking out the window when I get a tap on my arm. David is awake now and trying to get my attention. I take my headphones off and look at him. He smiled at me and right as he'd about to start talking, Jackson cuts in.

"Wanna play Smash Bros with us? I couldn't help but notice u had your switch with u while u were trying to find your water bottle."

"Yea I'll play"

David's smile seems to grow just a tad bigger as the corners of his mouth tilt up just a little more. I cant Place my finger on why this makes me feel so fuckin' weird. Like it's just a smile. It's just David.
