He took a bus to Ann Arbor. A much nicer bus than the one that shuffled him between campus and
Westcity
. More leg room and less people. You had space and time to think during the ride.
The whole way all he thought about was that girl from
Ann Arbor
. He had a half chubby the whole ride probably.
There was no explicit plan. He had texted her that he'd be around and was open to hanging out if she was free. She replied that that sounded good but there was no date and time or location yet. He was still pretending to be visiting on his own accord, pretending that seeing her was a side quest when in fact she was the primary reason. The visit to his twin brother had just been an excuse. Because in the back of his mind he feared that he might not even see the girl. She may just ghost him and he'd be stuck pretending to be having fun and not being sad with his brother all weekend.
His chubby was gone by the time he thought of this. He thought of how he'd have to pretend to be smiling in loud, dim room drinking beer.
