No sooner had I sounded like an idiot did the bus start up and we were off. Makai was still looking at me even as the bus jerked and he rocked back in his seat a little. I still felt like a complete moron from my stupid stuttered way of greeting him and he was just looking at me like nothing was wrong. What was with him?
I wanted to make the tension go away. I wanted to make it easier for me to just nap against my window and not have to deal with this at all right now. How did this end up happening to me?
"I've noticed you've gotten a lot faster lately." He was still smiling at me like nothing was going to deter him.
"Hmm." I just hummed a noncommittal response to let him know that I actually did hear him.
"All of that practice you've been putting in is paying off. Not that you needed it really. You could have beat me from day one really."
