*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
At 7:30 am it is the usual wake up for Leila. Every morning she roles out of bed with her hair looking like a bird's nest, actually, she's suprised this morning as it isn't the typical bundle of knotted long ombre locks that she normally wakes up to, although still a birds nest for morning hair it doesn't look as bad this morning.
"Must of slept well last night" she grunted to herself as she confronts the sleep ridden mess in her mirror. By sleep well she actually means not tossing and turning waking up at stupid hours through out the night. Leila doesn't quite know why she wakes up during the night, she isn't ill or anything but she ought to get herself checked out at the doctors, maybe some form of medication can help.
As Leila prods at her pimple that has planted itself on her face she realises the time *7:45 am*
"SHIT!" she runs down the stairs almost falling over her own feet and ending up nearly sliding down them due to her being just damn right clumsy but somehow still half asleep. She ruffles through the breakfast cupboard trying to find some form of food that she will be willing to eat. This girl loves her food, she is curvy and although her curves are all in the right places she still doesn't like her body and doesn't realise how stunning she truely is. So when it comes to breakfast she can be quite fussy, she isn't trying to be healthy she simply never finds anything that fits her apetite. After all, she does love all kinds of food but still can never managed to find a breakfast food that she will be willing to eat most mornings.
Leila has started a new job, finally something she actually wants to do. Photography is her passion, she has always been a creative kind of gal. Her new job is working with a photography and design company which is about a 45 minute car journey in all the peak time traffic but Leila can't drive so has to get 2 buses to and from work everyday making it a total of 4 buses per day being on them an hour in the morning and another hour on the bus at night. If she doesn't find something to eat soon she'll miss her first bus and be late. Finally she shoves a breakfast biscuit in her gob.
"That will do 'til I get into the city. I can grab something before I catch my second bus" she thinks to her self. And with that thought she nods to herself and makes her way back upstairs and starts getting ready for work.
Leila is quite a bold and interesting person, she is a half cast race being half British from her Dad and living in England with him, but also half Indonesian from her Mother giving her a beautiful Olive skin tone and brown eyes just like her Mum. The sad side to this is that her Mother passed away when she was 8 years old, Leila is now 18 and is counting down the months until her Mum's 10 year anniversary death date. Leila can be very loud without realising when she speaks. Her bold and bubbly personality can get the best of her so when she is having a good laugh and being herself she can almost come across as shouting. However, everyone that knows Leila ignores her loudness as they know she can't help it. Her friendly and outgoing personality allows her to get on with anybody along with her being naturally understanding and caring, Leila makes a great friend.
As Leila sits on her first bus journey of the day, she has her headphones in listening to all her favourite songs. Once she arrives at the city bus station she gets off and nips to the corner shop in the bus station buying herself a breakfast pastry from the bakery section and some rolling tabacco for her morning cig. Yes Leila smokes, not as much as a chain smoker and not as little as a social smoker, she smokes enough to get her through the day and the take off the constant stress from her many topics she has always has on her mind. She rolls her first fag of the day, takes in a long drag on it, holds all the chemicals in her lungs before slowly breathing out the smoke, relieving her from her stressful thoughts at that exact moment in time. Not before long she is on her second bus journey to work, this one only takes her about 15 minutes to get to her destinational bus stop whereas the first bus takes 45 minutes creating that first hour journey. Like she does on every bus Leila stares longingly out the bus window in her own little day dream. Suddenly, a flash on blue catches the corner of her eye.
"what was that?" she thought to herself, instinctively out of curiosity she turns around to take a glance only to be granted the view of a tall handsome guy in a green bomber jacket, a white t'shirt with a number 3 on, skinny blue jeans and army boots on. He had mop of thick blue hair that fell scattered over his face as he looks down at his twiddling thumbs. It may have only been a glance but it was enough to know how good looking he was.
A few days had passed since the viewing of the mysteriously handsome chap, Leila hoped that she would see him again and every time the bus came to the stop named "Bus Stand 15P" where he boarded the bus, she would look around to see if he was there, but everyday the bus would simply drive past that bus stop and she would watch the empty bus stop bench wizz past her window. Leila first saw him on Monday, it's now Friday and he hasn't been seen since.
"Ah, oh well, only some random guy, probably won't see him again, just wish I could get a better look at him I know that I've seen his face before somewhere I just can't think where..?"
The weekend soon passed, before Leila knew it Monday morning came where another tired girl would make the same bus trips once again like every other day. Leila was on her second bus journey to work this Monday morning and was too busy sat on her phone trying to create a new playlist of songs to spice up her bus trip a bit. Little did she realise that the bus had come to a stop at a bus stand and that bus stand was stop "15P" and at this stand boarded the charming blue haired guy. She looked up after realising the parked bus and glanced out the front bus window to see where she was, only to see the guy she had been hoping to see all last week. Leila finally got to get a better look at him and came to the conclusion that he was now not just any handsome guy but the extremely handsome Singer from the band Gorillaz. She used to listen to the band at the age of about 14, She still listens to their songs now but she completley didn't recognise him due the band not releasing anything in such a long time. He also looks a little different from how Leila remembered him looking on her old posters. As he walks past her to sit at the back of the bus she is in that much of a trance from staring at him, remarked by his appearence Leila makes awkward eye contact with him. Due to her being sat in the isle seat she forgot that her bag was almost in the isle so she leans forward to move it due to feeling the awkward tension and embarrassement from staring at him. As she leans forward and sits back up she looks down at her phone with her arm leaning out only ever so slightly without realsing, but it was enough for the Gorillaz singer to acciedentally brush against her arm as he walks past causing her to blush even more. Feeling so embarassed from being such a cluts she decided to get off a stop early.
The next day the singer got on at the same stop again that day, the day after and so on. At first this only made Leila feel awkward due to the incident from her stupid arm being stuck out , so she decided to avoid any eye contact at first but then sat near the bus window instead of the isle seat. She eventually made eye contact with him again after all it had been about 4 days since it happend but as she wasn't sat near the isle, she couldn't cause anymore awkward accidents due to her clumsiness. Eventually a week had passed and the awkward daily eye contact turned into friendly daily smiles after all both of them are the most friendliest people around. One day however things changed a little. The bus was so busy that the only available seats left were at the back of the bus so Leila sat at the far left knowing that the singer sits at the far right. The 15P bus stop came and the singer boarded the bus and sat down one seat away from Leila. After a minute or so after their daily friendly smile the singer began to make some sort of noises, oh wait...he's trying to talk!
The singer's awkward peronna can cause him to stutter in new situations. However this didn't stop him from eventually getting his words out.
"erm...eh, er...mm...my names Stuart but everyone callws me 2D, I 'er see you every morning on this bus, just thought I'd introduce my self, you seem like a really nice 'n friendly girl"
Oh my god, has he actually just spoke to me! Leila thought. She needed to reply fast before things get awkward.
"Hi, yeah my names Leila, I erm, Yeah i'm friendly, get on with Anybody me"
"Leila, what a beautiful name, what a beautiful girl actually" Leila blushes at this point. "Sorry thats out of order i've only just introduced myself."
"It's fine, well you are quite good looking yourself" Leila begins to blush even more and awkwardly diverts her eyes downwards to avoid the reaction of 2D just incase he thinks she's weird. 'should i mention about the band? No Leila it's too soon' she thinks to herself.
"Hah, Yeah quite the charmer I am!" 2D begins to smile his big cheesy grin while twisting his head slightly to the right to emphasize his charm even more.
Leila giggles and begins to blush slightly, his charm is deffinatly working on her and from her giggle, the singer begins to chuckle too.
"SHIT!" Leila realised that she has missed her bus stop by 3 stands, all this talking has distracted her so much that she was lost within the long needed conversation between the two of them.
"what's wrong?" 2D questioned, a little puzzled.
"I've missed my bus stop, oh no i'm going to be late for work!" Leila slams her hand on the buses 'STOP' button for it to stop at the next bus stand. "I'm awfully sorry i'm going to have to go, it was nice talking D, i'll erm...see you soon"
"how about tomorrow?"
Leila giggles "yes tomorrow morning, haha bye!"
And with that Leila ran off the bus and in the direction the bus came from as she runs as fast as she can to the unit where she works, some what 3 bus stops away. As Leila was in such a rush to get off of the bus she didn't realise that she called the Gorillaz singer 'D' instead of his proper nick name '2D'. The singer however did realise and found it quite sweet at his new shortened nicknamed and smiled at the thought of being able to chat to Leila again on the bus tomorrow.
