Bus Stop
by Jaswinder Bolebains

Today I saw a beautiful girl at the bus stop. She was so pretty that I couldn't stay away from her. I was staring at her for at least 15 minutes. I was thinking to make my move, but there were so many people, so I didn't talk to her because I was shy. After a while my bus came, and I started walking toward my bus. As I was walking, she was walking right behind me. As I sat on a seat, she sat beside me on the seat, and she said "Excuse me, you know what time is it"? And I ran to the store across the street to ask the time. When I came back, I saw the bus was gone, and so was the girl.
