this is a really short chapter but it was shorter before I when over it.
Coming back into the orphanage dining area with a picture of my siblings and me, updated every year, I saw that Grace and Grant were waiting.
“Okay, now we wait outside for the bus,’ said Grace.
“How does it know we’re waiting?” I asked.
“You,” Grant said simply.
I had to guess. Probably when I got my power, it alerted someone either on the bus or at the school.
I was right.
It took ten minutes for the silver bus to arrive. When it did, it stopped and opened its doors. I guessed it was about half the size of a football field. The weirdest part though was that we were out in the open. Tourists and workers and everyone were walking past and they didn’t see it at all. They looked right past it!
Once inside I noticed that the first ten rows were like normal bus seats, but the next ten were grubby and full of plant life. The next five rows back had a bubble of water around the seats. The next twenty-five rows had other elements engulfing five rows each. The aisle was clear of these elements. I could not see the back of the bus because even the aisle was covered with Darkness.
One guy in the Fire section looked right at me and winked. He wore a shirt for the Fantastic Four that said ’Flame on!’ He looked about my age, new to the bus area by the way he kept looking around, and pretty cocky judging by that wink he gave me. I gave him my I don’t think so smile, squinting my eyes and cocking my head, making him snicker, and went back to looking at the sections.
