Heaven and Hell

Prologue

"First day of fourth grade, time to get up and get ready for the bus!" my mom says as she pulls all of my covers off my bed.

I jump out of bed as fast as I can, first day of fourth grade! I'm so excited I can barely contain myself, I run to the bathroom and brush my teeth as fast as I can.

a b c d e f g h i j k....

I rush through my abc's in my head while I brush. When I'm done I spit out my toothpaste and throw my toothbrush in its cup. Then I run back to my room and put on my new skirt and my favorite shirt.

"Okay mommy I'm ready to go," I say as I smile up at her.

"Brianna, you forgot to brush your hair!" She says laughing at me.

"Oops..." I mutter as I go back into the bathroom to grab a brush. I see my long brown hair all tangled up around my head and I don't want to have it brushed anymore. After my hair is combed (not without crying, if I may add) I put on my shoes and grab my backpack. My mom walks me to the bus stop where we wait for the bus.

"MOMMY I SEE THE BUS, I SEE THE BUS!" I yell excitedly while I jump up and down.

"Do you have everything? All your supplies and your snack?" My mom asks like every worried mom on the first day if school.

"Yes but the bus is here I got to go, bye mommy love you!" I say and she gives me a kiss and a big hug.

I run up the stairs to the bus to see our bus driver Karen

"Hi Karen," I say.

"Good morning Brianna," she says back. I look around and see a couple of people I recognize but not many, I go and try and sit by a girl I remember named Emma.

"Can I sit by you," I ask politely.

"No! I don't like you," she says and I see her two older siblings and younger sister Tess all laugh. She's always been so rude and I've never done anything to her! I don't understand why she doesn't like me.

I see a boy wearing a baseball cap sitting by himself and in the back seat looking out the window and decide to go sit by him.

"Hi, can I sit by you?" I ask nicely. He looks up at me with a blank face and I just wait a second or two.

He sighs and says, "Yeah, that's fine," moves his bag and looks back out the window.

"Hi I'm Brianna!" I say with a smile.

"I'm Casey," he says.

"Nice to meet you Casey, what grade are you in?" I ask.

"Fourth," he says.

"Really?" I ask. "Me too!"

Throughout the bus ride we talk some more and I learn he goes to a different school. I go to the Catholic school in town, he goes to the public school. I also learned he rides every morning and afternoon, just like me!

When we get to the bus stop where everyone changes buses to go get on the bus that brings us to our school I say goodbye and walk to my other bus.

All I can think about during my first day of fourth grade was seeing Casey again on the bus, I think we will be good friends!
