As the bus pulls into the station, the narrator laments that he's too old to go on a field trip. He's worried about where the bus is going, and he wonders why sweet snacks taste better when they're packed so tightly. He also worries that the girl sitting next to him is under the impression that she's in love with him. He decides to sit next to her so that he can talk to her while she eats her snacks. He notices that she looks like a "squirrel" . He wonders if she likes mango, and wonders if they'll be sitting together on the next bus. The narrator thanks the driver for taking him to the wrong bus, and says that if he catches the eye of a flower playing card, he'd like to adopt him. The bus is full, and the girl's seat is empty, so the narrator has to take a step closer to the boy he loves. He curses himself for being so close to the girl he loves, but he can't let himself get too close to her. The boy replies that he is just a "little carsick" , and that he doesn't need to worry about him.
