Jake had said not to worry about him but how could I not worry after everything that happened, the sad look in his eyes kept showing up in my head and no matter how I tried I could not get it out of my head, so I started calling him and sending him all the motivational quotes I could find on the internet until he finally answered my call, we talked and he assured me that he was fine and that he was going to attend the school trip.
That is the reason I'm sitting in the school bus and chasing away anyone who comes to sit next to me. It's a long trip and I would prefer to be stuck sitting close to someone I know like the guys on the swim team or Jake.
I bring out my earphones and put them into my ears, blocking out the loud noises of excited teenagers,
I sing along quietly to the greatest showman song 'a million dreams'
