"It was an early March morning, so early that the sky still had streaks of orange and pink in it."
Benny:
Benny climbed onto the bus, giving the bus driver a kind smile as he paid his fare. It was an early March morning, so early that the sky still had streaks of orange and pink in it, very reluctantly giving way to gray-blue. It was cold out, so Benny pulled his brown jacket tighter around him as he took his seat near the back of the bus.
He sat in the seat nearest the window, like he always did when he was sitting by himself. He cracked it open a bit. The breeze, however cold it was, made him feel a little less cooped up, a little less separated from the rest of the world that wasn’t on the bus with him.
The window had a gray film of dirt and exhaust pipe fumes covering it, and a few dead bugs that still hadn’t managed to fall off yet. Through it the world looked a little discoloured and blurred. But Benny figured that was all right because the world was a little discoloured and blurred. Bus windows are really just reality checks.
The seats weren’t very comfortable. He hadn’t been lucky enough to get the bus with the soft seats – this one just had hard, cold plastic ones. Benny didn’t mind, he always got used to it after a while, even if he did just have to learn to ignore the aching in his tail bone.
The smell wasn’t great, but it wasn’t as bad as other times Benny had ridden the bus. And the open window helped. Benny had come to like the smell of buses he’d gotten so used to it.
“Where you off to so early?” the bus driver asked, his eyes quickly flicking away from the empty road to the rear view mirror to look back at Benny.
Benny shrugged, an involuntary grin spreading across his lips. He was happy. He was looking forward to the day that lay ahead of him. “I don’t know yet.”
Benny knew this confused the bus driver, but he also knew it wouldn’t be very wise to explain himself to him just yet. He knew that today would be a good day and that he’d get a lot of work done. He knew that it would be cold all day so there wouldn’t be as many people taking the bus, but he also knew that the people he wanted would be. He knew it’d be a difficult day, a long day, but he knew that those were the days that were the most important.
Benny knew a lot of things, and Benny knew all this because Benny knew he was God.
"Good by danny," I said kissing him on the cheek one last time."we may not see each other again but I will remember you." for the past week danny and i have been dating on a crusie. (sorry spelling? my mind is not working today.)We both knew the day would come when we would not be able to see each other. Now it had come. I hugged him and walked down the gang plank.

I went to the camp I had worked at for two years now. It was all so familar when I bummed into my best friend Max. He reminded me off Danny. But when ever I saw danny he reminded me of him. Was it max who I really liked and not danny? There's only one way to find out "max?" I said to him "What?" he said. "Da ya think we could..... like go to a movie or somthing?" "sure!" he said. And we had a great time.
