The sounds of the empty city bus's acceleration and echoing helps me become even more depressed. I sit with my elbow on the window ledge, my hand twiddling with my spiked hair, thinking about how this day couldn't get any worse. First Metro man is murdered; Megamind convinces to give me a ride back to my place, my mom doesn't stop ringing me up, and I look like a disaster zone! I even had to force Hal to let me take the bus to city hall... Alone. Just so that I could step back and think for a while. Even if the ride is only fifteen minutes.

Yet, the only thing that surrounds my head is what the city thinks-of me. Do they feel sorry, happy, upset, angry at me? Will, they look at me different now? And what about Megamind? Will he force something upon me? Will he ruin this city?

I brush my hand threw my hair as the heavy rain starts to let up a bit and rest my for-head on my palm now and close my eyes.

"Ms. Ritchi?" I hear someone call. Startled I look up and realize it's the bus driver.

"Yes?" I call back out.

"Are you alright? You upset about Metro man? Well, not to intrude."

"Actually, he was never my boyfriend. Everyone thought so, but yeah, I guess you could say I am upset," my voice starts to lower as the bus starts to accelerate even more.

I look out into the now not raining night to see city hall, so I lift my hand and pull the yellow cord.

"Well, I see this is your stop. I always thought, but seeing no, alright. And everyone is upset! So don't sweat it much," he says as I get up from my seat and walk to the front of the bus slowly.

I reach the front and lean against the rail as the bus pulls over and stops.

"So, what do you think Megamind is going to do with us?" I ask inching my way for the door.

"Well... I don't know really. I hope nothing drastic!"

I step off and turn towards the door, "me too. Thanks!"

"No problem Ms!"
