Teehee ;D New Story again(: My 'inspiration' has been very helpful lately ;D Or maybe it's just me : I wonder why I'm writing so much lately...and I thought March was gonna be busy. But I am. So much homework and all that x.x It's 9am o.o I better go finish some of it XD Oh yea, you might notice that this title is the same as my other bus stop. But this is Bus Stop 2:D I kinda like this one better than the other one(; Hope you enjoy!


I frowned as I got on the second bus. I missed the first bus. He was on the first bus and I was waiting for my friend, Ashley. She takes forever to make it out of the school building EVERYDAY. I wonder why. He's on the fourth floor too. As we were on the bus, she kept on apologizing. It was fine...really.

"I guess I'll take the Q train again..." I said in a displeased tone.

"It'll be OK. We'll take it with you!" Ashley said in reassurance.

Janet nodded, "Of course we will! Don't worry Angela! I'm sure we'll see him there."

We got off once the bus halted at the train station. He was nowhere to be seen. That's weird...he usually gets off at this stop. Not that I'm stalking him, we all take the same bus every day. I should know after 6 months of school now. The minute we got into the station, we heard the rumbling of the subway overhead. (A.N: Note-subways aren't ALWAYS underground) We quickly ran for it and had just barely made it. He was still nowhere to be seen.

"Whew!JUST MADE IT!" Janet exclaimed.

"Yea but he's not on it..." I muttered as I looked around in the car we were on. It was pretty empty except for a couple of people sleeping and a bunch of students going home. His red sweater was nowhere in sight. Today's one of those few days where I seem extra depressed. Not that I'm always depressed, just when I don't see him. I sighed deeply.

"Stop sighing so much. Sheesh, sighing is bad for you!" Janet was lecturing me.

"I didn't see him at the station waiting for the train. Angela, did you see him?" Ashley said to stop Janet from rambling on.

"No. No red sweater on the platform. Great...just great." I sighed again. So that means I got on the train for no reason? Now since I'm already on the train, I have to take it to the last stop and make a transfer to get home-which means I'll get home an hour later than usual. And what was this all for? No-WHO was it all for? Darien Tan. Let's start from Day 1, shall we?

September 4th, 2007. The day we met. We didn't know each other seeing as it was only the first day of school. The minute I got home that day, one of my junior friends at a different school asked me if I knew a Darien Tan at Brookwood High. I asked for a description. "Asian guy with spiked up hair and glasses." What a GREAT description. Like more than half of the Asian population who are guys look like that. So I asked him to ask this Darien person what he had last period. I had seen this guy in my English class and I thought he might be the Darien my friend was talking about. He said Darien had Crawford last. I was right. Wow. Most call it a coincidence. Some call it destiny or fate. I don't know what to call it.

Now we skip to September 5th. The day I had established my sad crush on him. I think he's a nice person. Not to mention hot. But then more than half of the female population at Brookwood have the same opinion. What chance do I have? No chance at all.

Back to the present. Ashley and Janet had gotten off two stops ago. I'm all alone on the train. Nice. While listening to my iPod, I realized it was on my favorite song. It also started raining outside. Ah, the irony.

Raindrops Keep Fallin On My Head
But I Think I Can See It's Just
Hidin' The Tears From My Face

I was disappointed. I didn't get to see him. We had four classes together. That's a lot. Now we only have one class together. We barely see each other.

Since You've Been Gone
I'm So Out Of Place
And I Need You Here Babe

I'm not claiming him as my boyfriend. Ha. I wish. Once I made the transfer and was on my way home, it started raining harder. Damn, no umbrella. Ah well. Walking in the rain sounds nice.

Lord, Give Me A Sign
Show Me The Light
Cause This Love I Have To Fight

I wonder: did he really care? Or am I too obsessed and scaring him away? Who knows.

He's On My Mind
All The Time

But it's too late. Just too late to forget.

Let The Rain Fall Down
Take Me Away
Cause I Don't Wanna Be Without You

Just a little too late. Why do I have to be this way? Can't I just forget him? I very well know the answer.

Boy I Can't Sleep
Without You Here
So Let The Rain Take Me Away

I walk out of the station and it's POURING outside. Like really pouring. I decided to take my time walking home. It feels good-the rain falling down my face. No one was around. I saw a familiar figure at an illuminated bus stop up ahead. A flash of red. Him.

'Why is he here?' I asked myself over and over again as I slowly approached the bus stop. By now, I was soaked to the bone. He slowly turned his head up and smiled a bit. Ah, that heart-melting smile. I just wanted to kiss him right then and there. But no. I have more self-control than that. Or do I? I raised my eyebrow at him.

"What're you doing here at this time of night?" I asked curiously. It was 7 P.M. We all get out of school at 5, seeing as freshman have the late session.

"Can't say." he answered. "Why are you all wet?"

"No umbrella?" I stated the obvious. He nodded an understanding nod.

"I didn't see you on the bus." It was more of a question instead of a statement.

"I didn't see you on the train" I replied in the same tone.

"Since when did you take the train?" he asked suspiciously.

"Since last Wednesday." I said simply.

"Why?" He just wouldn't let that topic go. I sighed.

"To see you." I looked him straight in the eyes. I saw a flash of shock for a brief second. He turned away and stared out into the rain. "Since when did you take the bus here?" My turn to ask the questions.

"Since I felt like it." Not the answer I was looking for. He turned his head to the side and looked me directly in the eyes. He bent down a bit (him being taller than me by those few inches) and leaned in so his mouth was next to my ear. "Want to know the truth?" he whispered in a husky voice. Just that alone sent chills down my spine.

"Maybe I do. I am curious." I muttered back. He just snickered.

"Curiosity killed the cat, you know." I smiled.

"Yes, but satisfaction brought it back." he slowly took his time and dragged his face across my cheek so that he looked me in the eyes once again.

"I wanted to seeyou." I swear my heart skipped a beat. My eyes widened in shock and he looked all shy and leaned back. He sheepishly brought his hand up behind his head and scratched it nervously. "I'm sorry." He turned and walked out into the pouring rain. I quickly recovered from my state of shock and ran after him.

"Wait!" I yelled out in the pouring rain. Luckily, he stopped and turned around. I ran and embraced him in a hug. Now it was his turn to be in shock. I looked up to him and smiled. He smiled that heart-warming smile (I can't get over it). I motioned for him to bend down a little bit so I can reach his ear.

"You didn't hear my end of it." I whispered in his ear.

"Do I want to hear it?" his voice was a little shaky. I smiled.

"First answer my question. Did you really want to see me?" he sheepishly glanced at the floor and back at me.

"Yes." He admitted.

"Why?" Just a one-word answer wasn't enough for me. He looked me straight in the eyes. I didn't know what was coming. Or maybe I had. But I was too shocked from his next statement to care.

"I love you." My mouth dropped a bit in shock. So everyone was right after all. Uh-oh...I owe them money. He looked nervous again. Do I really have this effect on him? Does he know he has that effect on me too? I smiled to myself and whispered in his ear.

"What if I told you that I loved you too?" I felt him shudder just a bit. He stood up straight again and lightly stroked my cheek. I blushed at feeling the skin of his finger on the skin of my cheek.

"Then I would be the happiest guy on Earth" he stated simply and bent down towards me. The next thing I knew, his lips were on mine. It was our first kiss. Kissing in the rain. I've always dreamed of this moment and it's finally come. It wasn't anything fancy and dramatic. Just a short and simple kiss was all we both needed to know how we felt towards one another.

"C'mon let's get some shelter. We're gonna get soaked." I laughed at him. He had a confused expression on. He looked so cute and lost.

"What's so funny?" This made me laugh even more.

"We're both already soaked!" he chuckled at it too.

"Then let's get you home." I smiled and stopped for a minute.

"Wait, how do you know where I live?" he stopped in his tracks and turned around.

"Let's just say I have my sources." he said. I shook my head and laughed.

"C'mon let's go get warmed up!" I said as I tugged his arm. We ran towards my house, laughing happily in the rain.

The bus stop is full of unexpected wonders and cherished memories. That was one day that I will never forget.


That wraps up my favorite one-shot !

Note to friends reading: You notice the stories that involve 'him' I use real names? The others are made up names. Anyone realize that?

Note to stalkers: You can't find us ;D

And this didn't happen. It's from my imagination after walking in the rain for a while and seeing another empty bus stop. I love the bus stop. It's my second inspiration :D ahaha well I should stop talking and let you review(: GO GO GO ! ;D
