Naoko munched into her bagel, trying to bite through the tough bread while enjoying the smooth texture of the cream cheese. As she chewed on a decent portion of the bagel a smile shined on her face in delight, this morning wasn't all that bad. Sure there was the call from her mom but she still made a new friend and he's willing to sit next to her for good company. Things seemed to be turning out for the better.<br/><br/>Doing her best to finish quickly she gobbled down the rest of the bagel, not her usual way of eating but she was starting to run out of time. Gathering her luggage and cleaning up her mess, she was out the door with five minutes to spare. Spotting bus two, she quickly walked over and began to worry as she saw through the windows that majority of the seats were filled, Joseph not in sight. Surely he was just on the otherside where she couldn't see him. Stepping into the bus, she tentatively climbed the stairs cautiously looking around. She spotted Joseph and her face beamed as she saw that the seat next to him was still empty.<br/><br/>"Hey," Naoko said when she made it over to Joseph. "Thank you for saving me a seat. Seeing how full the bus was, I was beginning to worry that you might have given my seat away." Her smile still contained its brightness proving that she wasn't at all serious about her last statement.
