It’s late and dark.

As the bus pulls up to the
School parking lot,
I recap over my day.
As the bright brake lights shine
On the cars,


I think of
The rollercoaster rides,

The foods and concessions,


The toys and arcade games,
All with
This awesome girl,

A girl

I like
A girl

I have feelings for.
I un-board the bus,
Looking for her.
I see her . . .


The last person off.

I run up to her and
Give her a hug. We are both very tired,
But I can

Feel the connection between us.

She
Hands me a basketball she found.
I take it
and walk back
To my car
My mother asks, “How was your day?”

I reply, “Good.”
