Chapter One: Head count?
Colenne stepped up onto the sidewalk and pulled the strap to her messenger bag up higher on her shoulder. As she did so her weight shifted; because of the big suitcase in her opposite hand, she lost her balance as her foot slipped out from underneath her. She shut her eyes tightly knowing the hit was coming. Lying there for a moment she opened her eyes wincing and sighed; deciding that if she lied there the ice would soak through her clothes and she'd be cold. Sitting up she picked her bags up again and stood slowly. Colenne walked slowly down the walk looking around at the stores. It was too early for most stores to be open. And as she reached the end of the block she saw the gas station. Coming to a stop at the curb she pressed the crossing button. Looking across the street at the light sign telling her when and when not to walk. She looked up and down the streets and realized there wasn't anyone on the roads either. She shook her head and stepped off the curb.
Justin set his bag, which was really his grandfather's military bag, on the cold ground while he reached over and opened the bottom compartment to the charter bus. Stepping back as the large metal door swung out and up. He picked up his bag and threw it in the back of that section. Turning to his right he nodded at the bus driver who was standing at the open door with his hands tucked deep into his winter coat pockets. Jogging up the three steps he looked in the back of the bus and raised an eyebrow in thought on where to sit. Seeing about 20 people already on board, most of which were sleeping, he walked towards the back. Setting his Jan sport backpack on the back row. He turned around and walked back off the bus. Figuring he'd stretch his legs while he could, considering the long ride ahead of them. As he stepped off the bus and away from the few students waiting to board, he looked up across the street he saw a girl, probably on the trip, step down off the curb and almost twist her ankle, dropping her bags. Justin, as quick as he is, jogged across the street and squatted down next to the girl, tilting his head sideways to get a look at her face. "Are you alright?" He asked politely.
Colenne pulled her lips together tightly and looked up at him. "Ye, yeah. I'm fine." She laughed softly. "This is not my morning." She shook her head while laughing still. Justin smiled letting out a small, short chuckle at her statement. He held out a hand to help her up. She nodded accepting his hand and stood up. Bending down to pick up her bag, almost bumping heads with Justin as he reached down for her suitcase. They stood up and he smiled at her, she reached out to take her suitcase but he pulled it back. "Don't worry about it." He shrugged as if it was nothing. She sighed and looked over at the bus. He followed her gaze and started walking towards the vehicle. "How long have you been in New Hope?" She stepped up walking next to him. "Not a week." She continued to walk with no further answer, climbing up the steps. Justin closed the compartment door and jogged the steps once again.
They had no chaperone on the bus. Their teacher was sick and there wasn't enough time for a replacement. But the school figured the driver was enough. So as Justin got on and walked to the back the driver boarded and shut the door. Picking up his clipboard he turned to face them.
Justin was a little surprised to see Colenne sitting on the seat next to his backpack. But he just picked up his bag and set it in his lap as he sat on the seat closest to the washroom wall. Leaving an empty seat between them. He looked up to see Topher in the isle holding onto the bars overhead and doing pull-ups. Justin shook his head. "Topher, cop a squat, no one wants your pits in their face." He just stopped and turned around to look at Justin, about to say something but Desiree reached up to pull him down next to her. "Sit down before you fall down…" The remarks making the bus laugh once again at the usual group picking at each other.
When the bus driver cleared his throat most people looked up. But taking the mike to his mouth and announcing, "Good morning." made everyone look up. "Alright since I don't know you, and your teacher couldn't be here I'm going to take roll call, everyone speak-up so I know you're here. I'll post a name tag above your seat. These will be your permanent seat assignments. So If you're not where you want to be. Move now." Only about 5 people stood up at that moment and moved around. After everyone was seated and it was silent for a moment, the driver took the cue to continue. He nodded and started to call out names alphabetically. "Desiree Alann." She raised her hand in response and he walked over peeling off a sticker and sticking it on the overhead compartment. He continued down the list marking everyone in his or her seats. "Colenne Dawson." She quietly spoke "Here." He turned barely hearing her but nodded and Put her name on the flat wall above her. "Russell Geller." He responded, "Present." Coming from natural reaction. Topher turned and laughed quite loudly. "Man, this isn't second grade." Russell raised an eyebrow. "Really? I figured since you were here and all…" A laugh could be heard from the back and Topher turned to see Justin with a grin across his face. "Sorry man, but that was good for Russ." Topher just shook his head, defeated and sat back down.
Once everyone had their name on the compartment above them the driver sat down and pulled out of the station. "Our arrival time is 7:30PM Central time. Giving us an 11 and a half hour ride. The washroom is in the back of the bus, and there are snacks and drinks in row 12. There will be a Lunch stop around noon. If anyone needs to stop please let me know. Other than that, relax and enjoy the ride."
