Sophie lowered her head and followed Sam.
As they exited the school gates, she hesitated. How to put it?
It was as if she had mustered up the courage, but not entirely, like an ostrich ready to bury its head in the sand at any moment.
She kept her head down, not daring to look at anyone.
It wasn't until they boarded the bus that Sophie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Today, they were lucky; there were still seats available on the bus.
Right at the back, and Sophie had no choice but to sit next to Sam, as she couldn't sit in front of or behind him.
Sam, being considerate, said, "You can sit by the window."
Sophie couldn't find a reason to refuse. More accurately, she had set a trap for herself, no longer able to reject this boy as she used to.
Who said it?
When you're alone, you can be as free as you want.
But when someone special enters your world, you start setting many limits for yourself.
