back to the start//l.r.h.

As I sit on the bus Monday morning, all I can do is wonder where Waverly is going to sit. She won't sit with Michael more than likely, but she has plenty of friends other than me. While going through my internal dillema, the cute lil redhead boarding the bus completely slips my attention until she's standing right in front of me.

"Hey, Hemmo. Room for me to sit with you?" She chirps, entirely too happy for a Monday morning.

It doesn't slip my attention how adorably she's dressed, just like every other day. Her cute grey sweater, tucked into some sky blue ripped skinny jeans with Vans adorning her feet make my simple band tee and jeans seem drab and boring.

"Of course, Waves. We can boot Calum to another seat, or cram all three of us on this one. You're small enough, so we could probably pull it off," I joke, causing her to hit my chest as she sits down.

"Shut up, Lucas. I'd rather be little ole me than an Amazon giant like yourself."

"Aww, too sweet Waverly. But, it certainly makes me a good cuddler, does it not?" I question, honestly just wanting validation that she wanted the cuddles as much as I did.

"Definitely. Your lanky body was a very good pillow and tissue Friday night."

"Oh, pillow?" Calum pops up out of nowhere, giving Waverly and myself a great shock.

"Hey, Cal. We can all squeeze on this seat, yeah?"  I switch seats with Waverly, making me be in the middle and Waverly be against the window.

We're all pretty squished together, so I sneak my arm around Waverly's shoulders to allot more room in the small bus seat. Calum catches this and raises an eyebrow at me, but I let him know that I'll tell him later.

We all talk on the way to school, Cal and Waves getting to know each other a little better whilst I mediate in the middle. When we arrive at our destinitation, we all file in together, catching Michael's dirty look on the way to first period.

"Ignore him, he's still bitter that I wouldn't take him back when he asked me to. I told him I liked someone else and he completely flipped out," Waverly explains, causing me and Cal to nod understandingly.

"I've always thought he seemed like a jerk," I say, and Calum agrees.

We all part and head to our first class, promising to meet up at lunch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lunch period finally rolls around, and we all three meet up at the designated spot. Cal and I grab our trays and throw on random foods, but Waverly just stands and waits. The bag in her hands leads me to believe she brings her lunch.

We all find seats together, me in the middle. Waverly pulls out a container of salad, with a bottle of water to accompany it. I dig in to my hamburger, and Calum devours his chicken tenders. We make small conversation for about ten minutes until Cal brings up what I knew would be enivitable.

"So, what did you mean by his lanky body being a good pillow this morning, Waverly?"

"Uh, well, on Friday we went to a movie, and I got scared because he took me to a horror movie, and so, uh, I kinda, um, cuddled against him and held his hand?" Waves rambles, her voice going up in a tilt at the end, and she stutters a few times through her spiel.

I take my hand and place it on her leg, trying to calm her down a little. She looks up at me and smiles, and places her hand over mine.

"As adorable as you two are, I have to ask you since Lucas here is my best friend, what are your intentions with noodle boy?" Calum asks, causing my cheeks to flare up.

"Well, he's really nice and sweet and funny and cute, so a super duper, life-long friendship. I want to have him around for a super long time," she responds, making my cheeks turn an even darker red than before. She squeezes my hand, and I interlock our fingers, making Calum groan and laugh.
