Bus Nine

"Just trust me. I won't hurt you ever again. Sorry about before keep your eyes closed until you can tell by your senses where you are''Cody kept his voice low. Igiggled again and walked in the direction he told me to. When my toes finally touched sand, Cody took his hands away. I opened my eyes.We took our shoes off and left them by the road. I walked up to the water and closed my eyes as the water lapped at my feet. Cody walked up and stood beside me smiling.“What are you thinking about?” he murmured. A tingle ran up my spine as I answered.“I’m thinking about the time we first met,” I said slowly.Cody looked down shyly.“I still can’t believe that was ninth grade" Cody sat down beside me as I pulled my knees up to my chest “I know right?” I took a glance at him. He was staring out at the sea and the lovely sunset. I thought back to that day.....I was barely thirteen years old my mother had just died and I had to go live with a father I barely knew. He expected alot though and I thought of running away at school that day. I saw the yellow bus that took about fifteen minutes to prepare for people to load onto it Bus 9.If it wasn't for Cody I would have. I was being sent to a incredibly hard school with either the genius rich snobs or the "bad kids" who would otherwise end up in juvie or something. Cody was one of those....and I knew it the first time I saw him through tears at that bus stop. I was staring at the ground crying. This was the last place I wanted to be but, Cody I coulden't help but look up at he was the absolute smile at nothing everyone talk about but never in front of because of fear boy and he smiled at me flashed teeth white as pearls then the next thing I know he's right in front of me and a crowd of high schoolers stood mouths wide open in shock! I didn't know what to do so I managed to giggle through my tears and in the most gentle sweet voice he said "I'm going to help you through if you promise to help me too" and I hugged him and I heard some voices "he's going to knife her" and "Dont call your demons on her Cody" but those voices didn't matter and right then I knew I had Cody. "Kiashay" Cody interuppted my remembering but laughed " Oh I remember it too and when Mrs.Craw fainted at the sight of me holding your hand walking down the hall even if the paramedics said it was due to her blood pressure. The things we've pulled on her and she's frazzled herself about and never figured out. Stringing the whole classroom with glitter glue thenskipping the restof the day so we coulden't be blamed that was good.I wish we were still in 9th grade I can't believe we're going into 11th. And it's unfair we have to be in 11th they stuck us there we should be in like 9th now being 15" I giggled at Cody. I realized something. This was our first date. Wait were we dating? We never named our relationship...and I never thought about it before. Was he my boyfriend? Or just my friend? I knew he was mine..but my what? I didn't care either way really but I still wondered. Just the Cody pulled me through a wave and my clothes were soaked. I was wearing a pink and black skull silk tank top and jeans I cut off into shorts. We both laughed. "Kiashay, it's sunset on the beach. That's the decision state and you my dear have something on your mind" Cody said once we were back on the shore just our toes delicately touched the water. I sighed. "Cody, are we dating?" Cody quickly answered "No" I shrugged and said " as long as we're friends I am happy" Cody stared into my eyes and said "Kiashay, we're soulmates" then he gently bit my lip and I tasted his luscious soft lips and we kissed through the sunset.
