Chapter ThirteenErica
Where was he? I'm so glad I told him to come earlier than he needed to. It was twenty to three. The bus came in... Five minutes.
I stood anxiously waiting.
Four minutes...
I got out my phone and texted him.
Dan hurry up, you're gonna miss the bus!!!
Three minutes...
I started tapping my foot anxiously before sending him another text.
Dan where are you!!!
Two minutes...
Come on Dan.
I started spam texting him lots of exclamation marks.
One minute!
I could see the bus! Sugar!
Dan! Come on!
It stopped, well there's not much point getting on it now-
"Erica!"
I turned to see someone running towards me. Wild spiked hair stuck out in all directions. As he got closer, I realised it was Dan.
Jumping onto the bus, I turned to see Dan right behind me. As the doors shut, we were left awkwardly facing each other.
He ran a hand through his quiff-like afro. Damn...
"Um...sorry!" I tried turning around, eventually, through an embarrassing struggle, we paid the bus driver, and sat at the front of the bus.
"Sorry I was so late..."
"Why! Why were you so late!"
"I um, misjudged how long it would um, take to walk here."
"By fifteen minutes! It's gonna be a close call anyway."
"Why, where are we um, going?"
Sugar! I had to change the subject.
"You need to stop saying "um" so much in your sentences, it's not great if you wanna be a journalist."
Dan went red. At least I changed the subject. He ran a hand through his hair again, it sprung back into shape. Oh my goodness...
"Great hair by the way."
