The bus drive took almost one hour one way, with me making myself as small as possible at the very back. I was glad that I left school early. I did not want to have to go home when it was too dark. To get out of my class, I had to get a permission slip. It was easy because I was already an adult. However, I could swear Miss Hawke had seen me taking off. I would worry about her later.
It was certainly different, traveling alone after being used to getting around everywhere with Daniel’s help. It was lonely, but I knew I had to make this trip. The open window had allowed the crisp air in, making my wild hair grow even wilder even as I tried to tame it by resting my neck on my shoulder. It was a glorious feeling. The closest I had to this was riding my horse, Simona. I missed her.
