ENID

I remained quiet as we all went to the first tourist attraction. Ava and Jenny made conversation with me. "Don't beat yourself up about June. That's how she is." Ava said as we got cotton candy. "Actually, better said, June will be a bitch to you if it's about Harry. June and Harry are like a couple. I mean they act like one but they aren't together. Harry doesn't really show emotions. What he did for you today was a first. Really." I stopped stealing Ava's cotton candy and let Jenny's words sink in.

He doesn't show emotions. Who doesn't? I pushed those thoughts out of my head as Ava and Jenny pulled me to another ride. It was the third one I was going on. Jenny said something funny and we all laughed. It was then I realised I was wrong for being angry and hostile to Jenny. She was a really good friend after all. As we approached the ride, I couldn't help but look back at Harry and June at the food stand. June was making an order and Harry, well, Harry was looking at me with an unreadable expression. Confusedly, I looked away.

I spent the rest of the day fooling around with Ava and Jenny and I ended up having so much fun that I had a pep in my walk due to my elatedness. It was time to retreat back home. We all went our separate ways. I was the only one on my route. Before I left, I gazed longingly at Harry who walked beside June. I sighed and headed home. It was really late and I was the really looking forward to my parents' yelling. So I decided to walk slowly.

I could feel the wind blow. I heard it in my left ear. The walk to the bus stop was really nice apart from the unforgiving cold. I sat on the cold bench on the bus stop and sighed and watched as my breaths came out in puffs. I liked that about the cold weather. The bus wasn't going to come for about 15 minutes. Great, note my sarcasm. I decided to text Jenny. Ava and I exchanged numbers today. I created a group that consisted of Ava ,Jenny and I. I sent, 'I really had a fun day guys.'

"Might as well want to add me to that group chat." A particular person spoke in my ear. I was too stunned to reply. Harry sat by my side and smiled at me. "What are you doing here?" I mumbled. Different thoughts swarmed through the my head and I didn't know what to do actually.

Why was I mumbling? And seriously, what are you doing here? Stupid!

As if on cue, the bus came and we got on. I went to the very bad and he sat by my side. "This is my route too, Enid." He replied. I only nodded at him but I was curious. "Do you walk June to her stop every time?" He tilted his head at me and replied. "No, I don't." He took off his jacket to reveal a plaid fitted shirt. My eyes widened and I looked away. He chuckled and put his jacket on the table.

"You owe me." He said all of a sudden. I looked at him and scanned his face and uttered. "Huh?" He put his hands on the table in front of us and reached for his phone in his jacket and said. "I wasn't looking at you in Mc Donald's." All I could do was say, "Oh." I looked at my hands which were on my legs and started to wonder how I got myself into a mess like this. I didn't know why but I felt like crying. "Look, I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings and all but I only said that to save you from June." He said.

I didn't reply. I was just really disappointed. "June is the kind of person that enjoys watching other people helpless. Like I'm not trying to paint her as a bad person but that's just how she is." He finished and went back on his phone. I was quiet throughout the rest of the bus ride home. It turned out I was getting off before him. I stood up when it was my turn to get off. I walked to the exit muttering a quiet bye, loud enough for him to hear though.

I felt someone tug on my hand. He held me back. His hold was really strong but soft. I looked at him as he pulled me to him. His hand left mine. And reached for my jacket. I glanced to the exit then to him. His hand was on my zipper and he zipped me up. I wanted to smile at him because that action was heart warming. He leaned into me and whispered. "It's cold outside love." He didn't make any action to move away but I had to or the bus would have left me.

I stood at the bus stop and watched as the bus went on to the next stop. He didn't tell me goodbye though. But then, he called me love and it was then I realised that I had taken a liking to him. He was so mysterious and I was drawn to him like a bee and he's the flower with nectar. Yes that was very explanatory. I walked back to the apartment feeling sad all of a sudden. He had gone and there was no assurance I was going to see him anytime soon.

I closed the front door behind me and waited before I took any step. "You can come in Enid. They are asleep." Esme said loud enough for me to hear. I smiled to myself. That was quite easy. I muttered thanks to her as I walked up to my room. I had a really engaging day. And I loved every single minute!
