The bus was filled with faint murmurs, from the conversations going on inside. It was cold, too cold for my liking, though I wasn't entirely sure if I felt chilled by the weather or if it was the fear and that terrible feeling of vulnerability out there after being so long safe behind the walls of that town. Vanessa was behind us talking to Sam in a low voice. While Jeff remained in front chatting very excitedly with Halston. From time to time, the boy would turn to us to include us in his very deep and changing conversations. At first, they talked about how society would change if the younger generation exercised more reasoning. Then to how there was hunger in the world not because of lack of resources, but because of misallocation of them. They ended up talking about movies they liked.
