Follow them as Bella learns not only how to save a life, but hers is saved as well.

18. Chapter 17

Finally, I'm ready to leave.

I quickly grab my bag, taking the opportunity of Jessica not being around to get the fuck outta here.

I smile as I run for the bus that I missed yesterday. I was gonna get it today.

I flash my pass and quickly sit down.

I bring out my iPod and deftly put it in, starting the playlist.

The bus sits idle for a few minutes and then there's a tap on my shoulder.

I flinch and look up, tensing.

But then I relax.

"Hi," Hoody says.

"Hi." I say, moving my things aside for him to sit.

He smiles and sits down.

I smile to myself as I look out the window.

Hoody's still wearing that black hoody.
