Chapter 2: The Late Bus
After the whole batman shirt incident, the family sat down to eat breakfast. Kerria was sitting as far as she could get from her to brothers… Which meant sitting on the far side of the table. Matt was still moping around like a lost puppy because the batman shirt was his favorite shirt, next to the Spiderman one. (It was being washed so that was not an option) Of course Adrian was still mad about her taking his shirt away, and his death stare was not something to be trifled with. Kerria finished up her last bit of food and ran (gracefully) up the stairs. She walked down the hall and what did she find… Another one of her sculptures was on the floor in pieces. She sighed and pick the small china centaur off the floor. It used to look like it was running and was about to shoot something, but now it was broken… The small arms were snapped clean off and one leg was chipped. Kerria opened the drawer that it was once sitting on and set the pieces inside. She would have to deal with this one later, but now she had bigger fish to fry.
Five minutes later she was standing on the corner waiting for the city transit to arrive. This bus was always late, yet she was never late for school. Her school was on the other side of the city but on this it took about thirty minutes without traffic. She adjusted her jacket that she was wearing so that the bitter September wind couldn't get her. Finally after 15 minutes of standing on the corner, the bus arrived. She climbed on the bus and showed the bus driver her student card. After the bus driver approved her card she walked to the back of the bus and took her seat. She pulled her iPod and her headphones out of her bag. Kerria placed the headphones on her ears and flicked through her songs till she landed on her favorite song. It was Amsterdam by Imagine Dragons, she had fallen in love with this song and listened to it every day as she came to school. The bus made two more stops till she hear a familiar voice.
"How's my favorite artist?" said the voice. Kerria looked up from her iPod to see the one and only Erik. Erik has been Kerria's friend since she got kicked out of her last school. (Won't explain what happened at her last school…) Erik was one of her only friends in school. She was known as the outsider. Anyway her school was a special academy for special kids. Because of her ADHD, dyslexia, and OCD she was treated like she was a baby. Her school was St. Angelicas Academy, their motto was "We have room for everyone." But Kerria knew it as Second Hell, mostly because she was targeted by every social group in school. Erik was the only other person that was not in a social group. He was just like her, so to speak… other than him being a cripple they were alike in every way. Erik claims that he was in a bad car accident when he was little, but you should see the way he moves when vegan burritos on the menu.
The bus pulled up to the school and opened the doors to let people off. There was a total of thirty students on that bus. Kerria got off the bus then turned around to help Erik get off the bus. After Erik was off the bus they made their way inside the school. Avoiding the cheerleaders and the drama geeks they made their way to the café that was in the school. Erik bought a coffee and Kerria got a Salted Caramel Hot chocolate. Kerria was discussing time and how it was not a straight line with Erik when someone crashed in to her. Luckily for her, she was able so regain her balance and not spill her hot chocolate. Kerria looked down at the boy that had crashed into her and gasped. It was Zander, quarterback for the school's football team Kerria set down her stuff on the floor so that she could help him up. "Are you ok?" Kerria asked with some worry.
"I'm fine. So sorry for walking into you. Names Zander, and yours?" He said standing up.
"Kerria, Kerria Waston."
"Nice to meet you Kerria." Zander said as her walked off. Kerria just survived an encounter with the one social group that hated her the most. The Jocks…
