A is a tall man, strong man, energic and lonely. He live poorly in a appartment he share with a cousin and two other person, he take the bus to work at the factory. In that bus he watch people or he play on his phone or he read a book. There are people he like to watch, especially woman, especially a women. A is very shy, but once he forced himself to continue look at the girl even if she look at his direction. She was a little embarrassed, A could not really tell if she feel creeped by a freak or flatered by the look of a man. A is modest, so he always think that people migth find him ugly, and he accepted that. But he told himself, maybe she is take it as a compliment. She is not the kind of girl to be shy in public. Her clothe and her look tell otherwise, while not dressed like a slut, she uncover a good share of skin. She body art, dyed hair, this show some obsession on the look of the others, but with a little zest of aggressiveness. She is beautyfull like a warrior might be. A think about her every night. A feel like shit because he just dont know what to tell her. He is frightened of the silence that follow, "Hi!". That days, A gathered all his might and keep repeat himself, at least try and get rejected so you can make your grief and maybe... He was sit right in front of her , seat facing each other. He looked at her in the eyes and she did the same and quickly looked elsewhere. A get up, pull the "i want to get out the bus" line and he got out as quick as he can. He runned away from the bus, important to know that A is a fast long distance runner who appreciate rought terrain, he runned in a direction who is perpendicular from the course of the bus. and he stoped in front of a garden were an old woman were taking care of her flower. "Miss D. can I take some purple flower?", Miss D. like A because he is a polite helpfull boy. In fact A had hardtime saying no and old folk know it. Miss D. took three purple flower and gave them to A saying "you will make a darling fall for you". He thanked the lady and runned till a bus stop a hundred meter from the garden. while waiting the bus he took a bus schedule, rolled it in a cone then arranged the flower and added a bud[weed] of 5 cm in the middle. (yes A is a stoner) the bus arrived, it was the exact same and he knew it. Got onboard and noticed that no seat were available but she was still here texting a her phone. He goes to reach her, this 10 step walk felt longer than the run he just does, he crouched in front of her handed her the improvised bouquet. She was still looking at her phone, fainting not noticing it because she was a little unconfortable with the situation, he said. It is for you and I want to tell you that you are beautifull. She looked at him with a red face. He handed the flower against and said "take it, I just expect to talk to you and you could event throw them at the garbage after the ride if you mind, I will not hate you for that". She calmed a little and took the flower, then she got surprised to notice a bud inside the cone, she smilled. "My name is A", "Im O!" with a severe tence and she smelled the bouquet, especially the bud. "You are with someone ?". "Yes" with the same severe tence. "You work at the mall?". "You work at the factory?" A felt warm inside, he is not the only one to creep the other. "If you dont mind I can go to the mall at break and share a spliff with you ?". "Maybe, but I repeat, i am not available". "I understand, but I still want to know you". She smilled "I'll take my break at 13". I'll meet you there and he pulled the cord again , it was his stop. At job he wasnt really focused, he thougth about O and her smile he saw for the first time since he observe her in the bus. At 13 he was already herewith a blunt, waiting for her, she was late, she wasnt comming, she finally arrived and apologised. "The mall is crowded today, it is normal". The shared the smoke, everytime she handled back to him, he felt like she were giving him a glimpse of a kiss. "She told him she cant keep the flowers because she would feel like cheating on her man". "keep the bud atleast and share it with him" The more she talk about her boyfriend, the more his interrest grow in her, he consider her respect and commitment to her lover and he loved it. They finish the blunt and he said he can come here every day to meet her. "I dont want to do this, you are a very romantic boy and i would be a very happy girl with you but i already have an awesome men". "I was hoping to find that my crush was a silly person so i can self disinterrest me but it turn out you are a respectfull and consequent one and now I dont want to let you go". She turned back and left. The following days, O was not in the bus and not in the mall at 13, he walked the entire mall to maybe find were she work. nothing she was not a the mall. A was full of love, and not mad, her fidelity was admirable. His insistance was pathetic and she stayed cold and respectfully turned him down. At the end of the week, O climbed aboard the bus, she was avoiding eye contact with him and looked embarrased. He tryed hard to not look at her and felt suddently guilty to put her in that state. He walked to her and said , "i am sorry, I will leave you alone, just dont be affraid" and he left her a blunt in her hand and returned to his seat. But she grabed his hand "same hand that handed a blunt" and said "dont go, sit next to me". He did and felt very lightweight. She apologised for the absence, she was in a sick day. They chatted the whole trip and she asked at the end, not to come a her break, its embarrasing.
