The couple on the bus.
Every morning I try and leave my house at 9:26 to make the bus. This is quite a task for me because usually i end up falling asleep at 3:45 or so and I am not good on less than 6 hours of sleep. (Those who *really* know me, know I'm not really good on less than 12 hours of sleep). anyway, so getting up and getting motivated is pretty hard for me. Picture this: i'm that girl whose mom woke her up for high school by throwing ice water on her before high school.
So -- what does motivate me to get up in the morning? Yup, thats right...the couple on the bus.
Who are they? Not sure. They just ride the 71C with me if I get outside by 9:30. If I don't then they aren't on my bus, which is ashame. Why do they intrigue me? I'm not sure, but lemme explain them.
Okay -- the girl -- she is probably about 200 or so pounds. She wears all black. A black turtle neck and a black wool skirt with doc marten boots and a black jacket, down to her hips. And yes, its the same outfit everyday. EVERYDAY. She can't go home and wash it. It perplexes me. She has red hair and glasses. And huge lips that she paints with brown/red lipstick. She has pale skin and a mean face. She is always bitching about something. Could be anything. but i imagine she is a theater major (she looks like that type) and so I am guessing everything is just drama.
The boy -- he always tries comforting her. He is always stroking her and looking at her longingly. He is pushy to get a seat next to her, so he can pet her hand. What does she do? Usually just makes him feel shitty and snubs him constantly. Yet, he affectionately takes it. What does he look like? He is probably a few inches shorter than her with curly brown hair, glasses and pale skin. He looks like he played with magic cards and talked physics with his friends. He wears the same outfit everyday which includes black reebok sneakers -- you know the type. trust me. His hands (believe me, I notice his hands cause he is always touching his girl) are sooo! weird -- they look like webs kinda. Like he is a duck.
So, they always sit in the seats reserved for handicapped/old people too, which makes me mad. Not cause they do it, cause I do it too and so does everyone else. But because they don't STAND UP when a handicapped/old person gets on the bus. Its so rude. Its a silent agreement, a rotation, when its your turn to offer your seat you do it, and they are always defiant.
That's all. I'm not really sure why I have a fascination with them. Probably mostly cause they are "extras in my life". They give me a reason to get up in the morning even if its just to stare at how someone can be so mean to her boyfriend and her boyfriends deformed hands.
