Sitting alone in the bus, playing with her playstaion, in her own world. Talking to her imaginary friends and having a whale of a time with them. Not bothered by her surroundings, she's having a conversation with her imaginary friend. One name Tom and the other name John. Everybody in the bus is staring at her but she doesn't care. Nothing else matters to her when she's with Tom and John. Every pain and anxiety disappears when they're with her. The imaginary world is so much better than reality. There is no pain, no stress, no disappointment, no hurt, but only happiness and joy. Throughout the entire journey all the way to her stop, she's having enjoyable conversations with her imaginary friends. Smiling and laughing loudly.
Another girl beside her looks at her intently. Listening to the conversation attentively and trying to figure out what Tom and John are saying to the girl. Jealousy spreads across her face. If only, if only she could do that too. If only she could be so carefree and not bother about what people think about her. If only everyone wasn't so demanding on her and had high expectations on her. After all she was also just  another normal girl like the rest. Why was there so much expected from her? Was it because she was a popular girl or was it because her boyfriend was the best looking guy? How she wished she could escape this world and join the other girl in her imaginary world. But she knew it was impossible when she heard her phone ring.
