Nathan woke up in a surprisingly good mood. For once, he had finished his report on time and was excited to turn it in and see the look on his professor's face. [color=firebrick][i]"He'll be so proud,"[/i][/color] he thought with a loopy smile on his face as he began to pack his stuff. He had to make sure that he wouldn't pull the classic "actually doing the assignment for once but leaving it at home" bit. He had already taken a shower, shaved, and brushed his teeth earlier so he was pretty much ready to go. He grabbed a questionably ripe apple from the top of his kitchen counter to eat for breakfast while he waited for the bus to arrive. 

As he was waiting for the bus, he messed around with his black hair. He wanted to look nice but not like he tried too hard. Effortless sexiness was a hard thing to pull off, but it reaped a sweet reward. He thought about that cute brunette in his Stats class. What was her name again? Tiffany? Joanne? Sarah? Whatever it was, he was feeling pretty lucky today. Maybe he should ask her out. Then he'll have a date later, for the weekend. 

Finally, the bus arrived, interrupting his train of thoughts. He paid for his fare, and began to look for a seat. There he saw a familiar, sleeping face. He took the seat across from his best friend, not wanting to wake him yet. James had probably been up late again and who was Nathan to deny him these precious few minutes of extra sleep. That however, did not stop Nathan from taking a picture of his friend dozing off, drawing a princess tiara, and sending the picture to mutual friends with the caption "Sleeping beauty <3". 

Still, he wished he could do something to help his bud out. He was overworking himself and it was not good. Nathan didn't need to be studying (sports but still) medicine to know that. He'll try his best to convince James to go out with him this weekend of what's her name rejects him. He spent the rest of the bus ride, whistling a cheerful tune and ignoring the looks of tired passengers that probably want him to stop.
