🚌 sure! there are two main night bus girls.

disclaimer: this particular one may be confusing because that how it is on my head.
one of them i literally haven't interacted at all, but i saw her on the bus once and noticed her because pretty. i take the bus with a friend, so i showed her the girl and i she agreed about the pretty part. then she started showing up more, and she's "the bus girl" for us. i had literally no information about her, but one day we saw her with a shirt with her major's name and now she's referred by her major. then i saw her again at one of the building i go to have one class, and then we saw her again going to have lunch. she's pretty!! one time we were are the bus station and then a girl sat down next to my friend. it was bus girl, and she was talking to a friend of hers, so we heard their conversations and i got to know some of her horrible tastes. and i was so sure it was bus girl, but when i mentioned this occasion to my friend meaning to judge bus girl for her terrible taste in one specific music artist, my friend said "that is another girl, they are completely different". i thought they were identical and my friend called me crazy. turns out they were VERY different because i saw original bus girl again and... yeah

second one it's a real shame. one time a
i was waiting for a bus that is not my regular one, so i didn't know the exact schedule. i had a meeting with my friends, so i was worried about being late, and that lead me to ask someone at the bus station (which was kind of full) about it. i looked around for a friendly face, and no answer at first try, the girl had no clue. second try the girl also didn't have a clue, but she received my question well. after asking i started pacing because of the time (not nervous, just eager) and then i distanced myself from the second girl. she was kind of looking at me and not looking, i guess because she didn't help at all and i spoke to her trying to be nice, so i made a silly joke. that looking-not-looking made me offer her a candy, because i took one for me, but she refused and i walked away. some minutes after, said girl, that was seated, comes to me and tries to help with the bus she had no idea how it worked, and i thanked her failed efforts because she was very sweet. then she stays close and she talked about her bus. all the speaking consisted of very short phrases, like small talk with context! then her bus starts to get close and she asked for my major (i asked back), and she was just about to leave for her bus when she asked for my name. we exchanged names and she said "see you around!" and i have never again seen her around!!!! i went to the bus stop at the same exact time multiple times, also on the exact same weekday , and nothing. bus station girl is gone after so little, author 😭 (i'm being dramatic, but i wanted to be her friend)

so?? how is this catch up?

this is great i love both of these thank you for sharing πŸ˜‚ the first one involving no interaction at all but you and a friend being like, she's pretty we should pay attention to her is taking me out. and then the mistaking her for someone completely different!

and then the second one sounds like the premise for a fic somehow...maybe you'll meet her again sometime...maybe it just hasn't happened yet. the universe likes to make us all wait sometimes. anyway, please feel free to give me more bus updates whenever you have them, even when i'm stuck with writing i enjoy these a lot
