121 Express (2008)
““See ya tomorrow,” he said, mouthing the words.
Tomorrow, Pierre and I were both invited over to Jake’s to play some b-ball and have pizza. Life was definitely looking up. In a way, I owed it all to the 121 Express. It was where I’d first made friends with Jake and Pierre.
So what if my marks weren’t what they’d been at Lasalle Regional? The main thing was I had friends. Cool friends.
I leaned back into my seat. Kelly Legault had carved her initials into the window.
It was much quieter now that... the bus was nearly empty. For the first time since I got on, I could hear noises coming from outside: birds chirping, cars honking, and somewhere in the distance, the whine of an ambulance siren.
The emergency window was hanging open. I could have shut it, but I didn’t. Something about seeing it like that made me feel good. It reminded me of the fun Jake and I had had prying it open and then screaming our heads off. I could still hear the laughing when I’d made that joke about Kelly needing to give Jake mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.MoreLess
