You sit next to a cute black girl. She smiles shyly at you.
She has glasses, a blue sweather and white kakhis and boots.
You say "hi." At the same time. She giggles and you laugh.
"I'm --?" "I'm Lila."
You both smile.
"I'm new." You say.
"Meet too. I'm from England." Now the English ascent comes through.
"Cool! I'm from Northampton, New Jersey."
"This is probably quite a change for you?"
"Yeah, at least it's the same country for me though." You laugh.
"How cute."
You both look up to see a few people looking at you.
"Looks like we got some oreo action up in here." This tall black guy in a sports jacket jeers.
"Shut your pie hole jackass!"
She tells him, people laugh.
"Oooh. She's got claws, watch yerself whiteboy."
He laughs.
You ignore him.
"You okay?"
"Yeah."
You escort her off the bus.
"Want to exchange mobile numbers?"
She asks.
"Sure." You smile and do.
"Maybe...I'll see you later, hmm?" She leans over and kisses your cheek winks and waves heading inside.
