Afternoon already? Agilene stared out the window, her head pressed against its cold, scratched up glass. The sun beamed near the edge of the horizon, accompanied by a sky mixed with orange, sky blue, and pink. This was sign of a long, dreadful day finishing soon. If the bus wasn't so shaky, she would have dosed off the minute she boarded it from CHS.
Looking down from the sky, and on to the scenery passing by, she noticed an always familiar school approaching. One that shined bright like a diamond, and had two elegant spires standing beside the main doors. This school was none other than Crystal Prep Academy. Every day on her way home, Agilene passed by it. And every day, her bus makes a stop to collect a long line of waiting students itching to go home.
This time was different, unfortunately for every passenger. As per usual, every empty seat was filled in seconds the moment the doors open. But things took a turn for the worse when a boom at the back of the bus made Agilene's stomach drop, and heart race. Following the noise, smoke rose from where it had gone off. Behind all the chitter chatter of worried students, Agilene overhears the driver instructing everyone to leave the bus, and wait for another. Groaning at this news, Agilene gets up from her seat, and makes her way out the bus.
