Right side of the bus

It all started on a cold night, the same day I got fired from my job for trying to do things different than the way people at the office are used to. I was waiting for the bus standing on the exact same spot at the exact same hour I do every night after work, usually it’s only me, an old lady who I just figured out she always wore the same clothes, some waiter from the bar across the street and a nurse waiting for the bus, it is around 1 am so almost always it is just us on the bus too, but this night was different, while I was waiting for the bus thinking what I was going to do now that I am unemployed I heard some arguing behind me, I turned around and I saw this young couple a nice blonde girl with blue eyes wearing a short black dress I didn’t pay much attention to the guy but I think he was wearing a black suit and tie, the bus arrived and we all got on it I usually sit on the left side of the bus around the middle of the bus, I am always the last one to get off the bus but this time I sat on the right side of the bus behind the couple, I assumed they were coming from  some sort of dinner party dressed like that, anyway, I tried to understand what they were arguing about but they were already in the middle of it so I had to do some speculation of my own to figure out what was going on, after some minutes I came to an understanding that the girl was mad with his presumably boyfriend because he sat next to “Stacy”, the girl went on for around 15 more minutes bringing up stuff that the guy had done in the past like how everything had to be done his way and before I realized we were at my stop and all of the other passengers were gone already it was just the couple and me, I got off the bus and walked home, that night I couldn’t sleep for some reason I kept wondering how the argument had ended so I decided to go back to the bus stop the next day to ask the driver about it, since I had nothing better to do now that I was unemployed, so I waited for the bus and when I got on it I asked the driver “How did the couple’s argument ended last night” he looked at me confused and said “What couple”, “The couple from last night, the blonde girl with blue eyes” I replied, “I didn’t see no couple last night” he said and began to drive, I walked through the empty bus and sat on the left side of the bus around the middle.
