U belong with me_ Taylor Swift

Now I can see Aaysha over the phone always.

I'm saying, Always!

I was getting jealous? But I don't want to!

I even avoided texting Mike. What's the point of texting him now?

***

Days passed and my holidays came to an end, I was back to school.

Now things started to become different little by little. Just like the other days I took the bus and catched a place for me. I plugged in my earphones and poured out some music into my ears.

Just then a figure appeared in the corner of my eye, I turned to see who it was, and it was a lady.

I plugged out one of my earphones and asked her what's the matter.

"Can I have this seat next to you?" she asked.

"I'm sorry I usually catch it for my..."

Just then I remembered, Mike sits next to me always. And I never cared about it earlier. But now I'm feeling it strange.
This is hard, how can I have him next to me, when he does not belong to me? I don't want me to break myself.

"Hello dear? Is anyone coming here?" the lady got me back from my thoughts.

"No, no one, you can sit!" I replied.

Then I got back to my music again, I was trying my best to drag my mind away from his thoughts.

3 stops passed and it was Mike's stop now.

I could see him enter the bus. I could not stop myself from seeing him. My heart started to beat fast, he kept brushing his crispy brown hair while entering. He was helping a person in front with the address.

The damn person said something and he is smiling now. I don't him to be my drug! My attention on him was overcome by the lady next to me.

"Thanks dear, my stop has arrived." She said and got up from her seat.

Wait! So soon?

"Don't catch only the place!" She said with a smile and left.

What is she meaning? No please don't talk in riddles, I hate it!

I could see the lady walking to the bus door, so do Mike who was seeing who this woman getting off from the seat next to me.

Before his eyes could land on me, I turned towards the window. I was raising my music volumes so that I could not get distracted by him, but little did I know it was of no use, because just a brush of his shoulders against mine when he sat was enough to make my mind go numb.

My heart was beating faster and faster.

' Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito
Nos vamos pegando poquito a poquito'

I was trying my mind to concentrate on the lyrics than the current situation.

All of a sudden I got the music down, like someone has pulled the earphones from my ears. I turned to see what happened.

Mike plugged my earphones into his ears and started to sing the song, well quite loud indeed, maybe he was lost in the song!

"Despacito!" he began to shout until the entire crowd gave us an awkward glare!

And he don't know the lyrics. He was killing the song and maybe this might be the reason for the entire crowd to glue their glares at him.

"Mike! What are you doing! Just shut up!" I kept saying, ok he cannot hear me, so I said tapping his shoulders.

His shaking head turned towards me.
"You want to say anything Mina?" he asked me.

"Not me, but them" I said and showed him that the entire bus was staring at us.

"Uh..oh!" were the words that escaped his mouth and then he became quiet.

I planned not to hear music after that and I sat watching the roads and trees through the window, I will see anything but not him, that was the thing which kept repeating in my mind.

Everything went on normal for sometime... I'm repeating, only for sometime!

I was trying hard not to look to my right, I don't want to see him, but I can't resist. I slightly narrowed my eyeballs towards the right, I can see him,

Staring at me? What?

I turned towards him with speeding beats.
No, he was not looking me; his view was above my head, something on the window glass,

Now what is it?

"Don't move Mina! I said don't move!" he spoke with his eyes still focusing on something above my head.

"What is it!" I was asking him with small frights covering my body.

"Don't look up!" he warned me again.
I cannot control my curiosity and I looked up to see what the hell was there.

And yes, he was right, I should have not looked up; because if I had not looked up I would have not seen a dancing grasshopper and I would have not screamed and made the entire crowd to stare at us again.

That grasshopper was big. I cannot stop myself from pulling his shirt and screaming.

"Don't shout idiot, it's just a grasshopper!" he was commenting with a laugh.

"I don't care what the hell it is, take it out, now!" I was screaming in fright.

"You are near the window, you can easily push it out" Mike said.

The point is relevant, but the person to whom he is saying is not.

"Just do it and don't make a fuss!" he said looking around the crowd in the bus and then back at me.

"But..."

"Do it quick, before it jumps on your head!" he said cutting my words.

Please don't ask me how it looked, I want to forget it actually!

The window glass was half open; I closed my eyes and just pushed that damn creature out of my sight.

"It died?" I asked him with still my eyes closed.

"No, just flew away!" he replied back.

I turned towards him. He was laughing.

But my default angriness on his laugh was missing and I loved his laugh for the first time. I just sat smiling, watching at him.

My watching was interrupted by someone tickling my leg.

Hello? Who is it?

I am another grasshopper!

WTH! Is this bus up with Moses' curses?

I tried not to scream again, I slowly got my legs up to the seat.

"Mike, look here!" I said pointing him this next ticketless passenger.

"Wow, another one?" he asked me in shock with his head down looking at the grasshopper.

"Do it like the same, throw this too" he said.

"What? No way! I am not going to do it again!" I kept demanding.

I added some facts that I am allergic to insects and if any of them bite them I will go to coma bla...blaa..bla... I kept saying him many things and finally,

"Okay Fine, I'll do it!" was his reply.
He took the grasshopper in between his thumb and index (ewww....) and that creature was trying hard to get loose from this creature.

"Move!" he commanded.

I pinned myself back against my seat, I don't want him to put that damn creature on me, either by mistake or by purpose!

He crawled near the window and threw it out and in no time it opened its wings and began to fly.

"Look, it's that simple!" he said with his eyes looking at the flying grasshopper.

His one hand was holding the seat handle bar above me and his other hand was holding the window sill for support, and I sat in between.

He was close to me, too close that a small sudden brake can make him completely collapse on me.

Why can't this driver apply that stupid brake now?

He got back to his seat and murmured something within himself.

"What?" I asked him.

"Oh well, I said that those must be couples" he said with a smile.

"Really?" I asked in wonder.

"Yes, the one which you pushed is a girl and this is a boy!" he said.

"Look!" he said showing some grasshopper pictures in his mobile.

No! Please, not again!

"Isn't it pretty?" he asked me zooming one of the picture.

I gave him a disgust look and turned to the other side.

"Isn't it surprising Mina, to see that even insects can fall in love?" he asked me.

My cheeks were changing color and I was praying it should become normal before I turn towards him the next time.

How can you notice love in so many little things but not in the human sitting next to you?

"Why do you say them as couple? They...they must have landed in the same bus accidently, not together but caught together" I replied back.

"Like us?"
He asked me lifting his left eyebrow.

I was blank, what is he meaning?

"Not couples, just an accidental meet!" he said.

I was getting broken, he said the fact, but I don't want the fact! Why can't I reverse time, cause

I know it's too late!
