Take the school Bus

A week before exams i cant afford not going to classes, so I say bye to my parents and run behind Tom towards the school bus.

As usual Tom sits with his friends at the back of the bus, seat they always reserve for him, as I have to pick from whats available at the moment.
We live close to the school, so if someone is sitting alone, its because nobody wants to sit with them. And guess what, I have to sit there.

I take a quick look around and see only 4 seats available:

At the front of the bus goes Jenifer and the rest of the cheerleading team.
She is the usual captain of such a group, basically a real bitch. As you would expect, she is blonde, tall, thin, and with a physique that many guys in the school adore.
It is also well known that she is a snake ready to hand over any of her friends in exchange for a profit. Friends that orbit around her trying to get acceptance just for being around her.
And worse, my brother Tom likes her.

Behind the cheerleaders and at the right side of the bus is Malcom and his nerds.
Usually they are considered harmless because they rarely leave the computer lab or their small club where they play those table games.
Malcom himself could pass as someone normal if he would take a little bit more sun. His skin is several tones more pale than mine, he has jet-black hair that match his eyes and beneath them eye bags as if he hasn't slept in a week.
Definitely not my ideal partner.

After them the 'Weedos' as most of the school call them.
Their leader and provider is a guy called Jerome. It is common to see them smoking after classes.
It is said that Jerome was expelled from the basketball team for an issue with ****, but this was never confirmed by the authorities or the team.
He is tall as all the team players, slim, dark skin, wavy hair and a tattoo on the arm of a snake wrapped around a sword or something like that.

Finally, at the end of bus is my brother Tom and several members of the football team.
Undoubtedly I would try to avoid traveling with my brother at all costs, not only I already endure him throughout the day, but it would also seem that I have nobody else to sit with.
Which is partly true ...
