As usual, I was sitting on the right side of the bus in the very back seat. I saw this girl at the second-to-last stop on the way to school. She was new and laughing with another girl she was talking to.

She was pretty.

I watched her take the steps up the bus as I ran a hand through my hair, trying to get it out of my eyes. Her smile was wide as she told the bus driver something.

She continued her way down the aisle. She sat down in an empty seat in the middle of the school bus.

Through quiet music playing through my earbuds, I could hear the guys around me in the back of the bus already talking about her.

"Dang, she's hot!" one of them exclaimed.

"I wonder if she has a boyfriend."

"Like you'd have a chance with her."

"I bet she's an airhead, though."

"She'd still be smarter than you, dude."

I rolled my eyes at their conversation and turned up the volume of my music, ignoring what the guys were saying. But I kept my eyes on her, her smile still wide as she began talking to the same girl she was laughing with.

The only time I could see her during school was when she stopped by her locker, down the hall from mine, where the juniors' lockers were. She's making friends easily, I could tell. By second period, she already had a group of girls surrounding her.

On the way home, today, she sat with the same girl, talking and making conversation. Surprisingly, I never caught her name. Maybe tomorrow I'll have some luck.
