Reply #75: I wonder how this guy took our exchange this morning... [View All]

I was on the bus and seated in the last seat. I go back there to get more privacy and because I am going the whole way. Some guy came back there and I was afraid he'd sit right next to me. He didn't but was close. I was studying; I had procrastinated reading my assignment totally and was catching up. As soon as he saw me pick up the book, he started asking questions. "Oh, is that about research?" I answered him briefly, but was polite. A couple of minutes later, he asked if I was in school and again, I answered where I go and what I am studying. I added that I had to catch up on my work. He laughed and didn't say anything else and got off soon after. I wish I didn't have to be so short with him but I really had to study.
