Stealthy as she has always been, I almost jumped when she wrapped her delicate arms around me. Age has made it more difficult to stand in an almost jam-packed bus, but the whiff of her freshly bathe scent distracted me the most.
Oh, how time flies.
***
It was my first day in a new school in a new place caused by a new dad. If only I could sneak some cash I’ll just go away, live on my own. I don’t like my new home, neither my newborn sister, neither this cranky old school bus, neither those dozens of wide judging eyes staring at me as I walked towards the back of the bus.
Throwing myself to the seat as the bus moved, I heard a soft yet hurt ‘ouch’.
Holy cow!
The almost-ghost girl looked up, I was silenced, stunned.
I guess I have something, someone, to like now.
