3 1.3 (Unexpected encounter)

After I've exited our gate, I went to the nearby bus stop and waited. Civilians waiting for the bus as well, students chattering something about love. This girls will never learn.

My attention quickly shifted beside me, students wearing their school uniforms and the civilians. A guy standing while holding his backpack instead of putting it on his shoulders. Maybe his that kind of guy that likes doing that. He seems different from the rest, that's what I've notice.

Wearing a black top, dark pants with white stripes. I looked at myself, wearing a red top and a white skirt with gray-ish stripes on it. Noticing the patterns between my skirt and his pants maybe he's a student at one of the four schools. Looking at him again his not that bad when it comes to physical physique, his in the middle for me. Still can't get over how the black top and pants looked like.

Looking at him from bottom to top, I reached his face but realizing he made eye contact with me I quickly looked at the ice cream truck. To avoid any embarrassment I approached it and just ordered some ice cream instead. His hair was cool, covering the right side of his eye. See something cool everyday.

As I took out my purse to ready my payment "one strawberry ice cream with sprinkles on it pls." I said politely at the ice cream man.

Why did I even looked at him again, although his eyes felt cold the moment he made eye contact with me. Its like looking at medusa, your body would turn into this cold stone figure. Are all guys like that?? I hope not but he seems nice I guess.

While I was waiting for the ice cream man to prepare my strawberry ice cream with sprinkles on it. Hearing someone tap their shoes from behind I slightly turned my head and it was him. Did he followed me????. This is my fault. Sigh.

Sometimes people step beside of the line so the ones behind them could step forward and process their order. In some countries people behave like that which is helpful if im going to be honest. That's what I did, took a step beside the line and waited.

He step forward and proceeded to take a look at the menu, looking at him he was definitely taller than me. Like seriously I have to tilt my head upwards just to look at the menu. Why am I built like this.

As he was taking his time thinking.... he then ordered "one vanilla ice cream pls," he said in a soft but dead tone. Why does he sound like that I mean he sounds like someone who doesn't give a damn about things. What shock me the most is why did he looked at the whole menu if he was just going to order some vanilla ice cream, like WTF. Even the ice cream man is confused.

Still the ice cream dude didn't hesitate to take his order, well the costumer is always right that's what they always say. As he took his order he went beside me and waited as well. Looks like he knows that too huh. Gotta give it to him.

I was just looking at the trees swaying with the wind then out of nowhere.. "miss here you go," the ice cream man called me, helding out my hand and took the cone. I still stood by the ice cream truck since the trash can is just near it.

He also received his order but stood by under the tree, slurping his ice cream and biting the top of it. He has the guts to do that huh. While I'm here just slurping my own business, not even trying to bite it. Still that uniform does suits him.

When I was looking at him, he made eye contact with me again. Our eyes met then he swallowed the cone whole. I was like what?!?!?!?! Bitch if you could Swallow that thing whole then you could also Swallow *that* as well tehehe.

Then he decided to walk towards me, there he was looking down one me. Like literally looking down on me, am I really that small to you. His dead eyes met my lively ones, does he want something or what?? To break the boundary I decided to talk to him, he was also taking something out of his backpack "u-uhmm do you need something, or is this about how I looked at you earlier??" I asked. He's still taking something out of his bag or backpack.

"Just don't move," he replied, again with his cold voice what his up with him. Goshh. And there it was his camera?? Is he taking a picture of me. Am I that irresistible.

"why are you taking a picture of me??" I asked.

"I'm not taking your picture.... There's a butterfly on your hair.... Stay still," oh there's a butterfly on my head really?!?! Weird how I didn't realize it.

*snap* his camera emitted a sound indicating it already took a pic of the thing "here... Take a look" he asked.

He lowered his camera and I leaned over to see it, it was a butterfly with blue wings and white spots on it. Blue,white and black definitely the best combination.

"is the butterfly still there??" I asked.

"nope it just flew away... See," he pointed it out, the butterfly landing on a nearby flower, suns rays shines on it. Creating this beautiful scenery. As I expected he went near it and took a pic.

As we he was doing that I heard a huge vehicle coming at the station, it was the bus and created a sound *honk* *honk*

"hey!! The bus is here," I shouted at him, I went ahead, heard his footsteps behind following mine so I didn't bother looking.

We boarded the bus, there was alot of people, seeing a empty spot I decided to go towards it and seat on it. He was over there across the other side of the bus. He manage to find a sit and sat on it, with the strap of the camera on his neck. With serious eyes and soft fingers he was checking his camera. Looking at the window my mind begins to wonder around.

-

It was already 8:10am and the bus driver said that we will reach the schools by 8:45am. With enough time to spare, we were on the highway waiting because we're stuck on traffic. What could have caused this traffic, maybe some reckless dude hit another car by accident.

I tried to lean even further at the glass to see what's going on, then all of a sudden armed men wearing masks started walking one by one towards other vehicles. From taxis, cars to buses. While looking outside whats going on, I heard a loud sound *crack* my eyes couldn't believe what I saw, it was the armed men who smashed the window, people in the back didn't know what happened but when they heard their footsteps.

They got in the bus while pointing their guns "all right I want every valuable things inside this sack right now!!!" the man yelled!!! so their robbers then. Everyone was shaking, some begun to tear up, babies cried. Without anyone to help us they followed their instructions and put their valuable things in the sack.

One by one the robber approaches the civilians to take their valuables while the other one stood guard beside the bus driver. We couldn't do anything but follow. This is reality. Scare someone, black mail them, bully them. Heck even torture them, they would do anything to keep their lives on the line. Can't blame them.

Looking down trying to avoid what was going on, loud and slow footsteps headed towards me. A shadowy figure was there, gently and slowly turned my head, it was the robber holding the sack. He shook the sack, loud rumbling noises coming out of the sack indicating there's a lot of stuff In it. I'm guessing his alerting me to put my stuff on the it as well.

I was shaking uncontrollably while trying to take out my phone out of my pocket, with dripping sweat coming out of my hands and shaking arms I accidentally dropped my phone. It made a loud thud on the floor.

With fear on my mind I quickly reach out my hand and grabbed it, tossing it in the sack. The robber proceeded to the next civilian. Hearing them whimpering and crying it was a normal thing to do. Considering what happened just know I couldn't take my mind of it, we were just weak. Looked down on my knees again, tears begin to well out of my eyes "I was too weak,"

20 seconds has passed, they should be fine now. Everything has been collected but why are they still here. Wiping the tears on my eyes, I leaned at the back to see what was going on. And it was him, the robber is pointing a gun at him. No one seems to care because they were too afraid, although with seriousness all over his face he didnt care if a gun was pointed at him. Does he have a death wish or what. Just listen if you don't want to get in trouble.

"I'm going to pull the trigger if you don't listen!!!!" the robber shouted. This is where you should surrender but in his case he fought back.

Seeing him looked straight into the robbers eye "then do it..... Kill me already," he replied with a serious tone, his voice didn't show any stuttering at all he didn't feared him.

"why you!!!" the man got closer and pointed the gun at his forehead.... But then he cross his arm to the robber coiling it up the robber drop the pistol. With swift hands and great flexibility he punched the robber into the face, he took action and reach out grabbing the pistol and aimed it at him "hey!! Drop your gun now!!" he yelled at the other robber on guard.

The robber holding the sack suddenly shook by the turn of events. He was shaking, then he let go of the sack "hey man, just drop your gun I don't want to die" the robber cried. The robber was serious and tried to talk it out with his friend.

"Just do it man!!" he yelled him.

"geez alright fine!!" the other robber dropped the pistol and shoved it off the bus.

"good,now put your hands up in the air where I could see them!" he was still calm about the situation, he didn't panicked. He was the only one who fought back.

Then the robbers looked at each other

"what's the matter!" he replied. That's when the two robbers dropped their hands, seeing their expressions both of them burst out of laughter.

"HAHAHAH!!" one of them even wheeze, they laugh and laugh and laugh as loud as they can. He didn't know what's going, that's when he noticed something.

With complete confusion everyone was still quiet and doesn't know what's really going on anymore. Looking at them laughing I too didn't know what's happening, only he could tell. He too didn't know what was happening that's when his eyes averted to the pistol he was holding. He closed his eyes and gave them a smirk "a fake, well played," he replied. What a fake!?!?! The guns weren't real.

"yup a fake, but this isn't," he held out a knife both of them did, the other one slowly approaches him as well. What will he do now, please someone anyone help him!!

In a flash both of the robbers tag in to fight him, it was a 1v2. That's when we realize it didn't matter anyway. Seeing the two robbers trying to stab him but they couldn't. He was ducking, jumping and dodging, he then use the iron bars on the bus two kick one of them in the chest area. Landed and bended his back to avoid the incoming knife at him, grabbed the robbers arm and gave him a quick blow of punches on the face. The robber was knocked out from his punches while he step on the other one.

"was that even a fight," he was prideful when said those words, its not even a fight???. He single handedly took care of them without even a weapon.

With them unable to fight back, he grabbed the knife and played with it. Took out his phone and dialed to call the cops. He was spinning that knife, like he has experience wielding it. Then he looked around at the people, then our eyes met again "are you alright," he asked me.

"o-oh me... Yeah I'm alright," I replied with a relieved tone. Finally it was over at last.

"good to know.... Is everyone alright" then he asked everyone on board.

"were fine here,"

"don't worry we are OK,"

"yeah thanks to you!! " one citizen shouted, then from out of nowhere a clapping sound was heard from the back of the bus *clap* *clap* he stood up and everyone begins to clap, praising him.

He was relieved that everyone was OK, still even with the praise he got. He just shrugged it off like it was nothing "thanks... Don't worry the cops are on their way," he then found a rope on top of the bus drawers, were heavy bags supposed to be there.

Grabbing the rope people came in and leaned the unconscious robber and the other one. He then tied them into the iron bars on the bus.
