"He seemed sadder. Or something. Like he was no longer happy."
"I thought that too."
"Is that why you aren't doing it right now?"
"Probably."
The sound of the bus filled the silence between their utterances.
"Everybody wanted him to be happy. Even after he wasn't." He said after the pause.
"That's how the world seems to beat you down."
The stop for his school finally came. He left with the swarm of students and could feel her eyes watching his back. He hoped to see her again. He had never seen her on that bus route before. But he rode it mutiple times a day. If he kept riding, he'd probably run into her. Eventually.
That evening, at home in bed, he saw her getting murdered. The Blue Man had posted a video of him strangling her to death. It was getting many likes, but also many people were condeming the act. How could anyone do something like that? And for the likes? A lot of people said it was protected by the
freedom
of speech. Others argued that it violated the freedom to life.
A tear drop fell against his cheek. Then he watched the video three more times before trying to fall asleep.
