"What happened to your leg?" Is the first thing Chloe asks as soon as I step out of the house.
"Ohmygod!" I put a hand on my chest. "You scared me!" Wait. "What are you even doing here?"
"What does it look like? I've been standing here for over ten minutes so that we can go to school together."
What?
"What?"
"Yeah." She nods.
"Why would you want to go to school with me?"
"Because you wouldn't go with me. I had my driver drop me off here so we can take the bus together." She smiles.
"It's a five minute walk to the bus station." I start.
"I can handle five minutes." She shrugs. "No biggie."
"And a fifteen minute walk to school." I continue.
"I need some exercise anyway."
"If we're late, we run."
"Like I said, I need exercise."
"The bus is always cramped."
"Let's just go Rave. I want to go with you. And if I don't like the experience, so be it."
"I don't just get why you'd want to ride the bus with me. I mean, you have a car and a driver."
