By the time the eighth period release bell rang, Jenna was exhausted. She dragged herself onto the bus and collapsed on her seat. She fell asleep, head resting on the window.
************************************
Jenna woke the entire bus yelling and shouting. She rubbed her eyes and pushed her long strawberry-blonde hair out of her eyes.
Everyone was turned, looking out the rear window of the school bus.
"What's going on?" she asked the kid across the isle from her.
"Some dude just shot a guy! Straight in the head!"
"No way! Why?"
"I don't know, man, we passed 'em too quickly," he replied. "Looked like he was attacking the guy with the gun, though."
"Freaky. Did someone call the cops?"
"Nah, someone else is sure to handle it."
"I guess..."
She pulled her phone from her jacket pocket. She had a text from her friend Hannah, but dismissed the notification and called her mom.
"Hey, honey! You on your way home?"
"Yeah, mom, I'm on my way home. Everyone in the bus saw somebody shoot a guy in the head."
"What?!?!"
"No joke! I have no clue what happened, but that's what everyone is saying."
"What happened?"
"I have no clue, mom."
"Okay we will talk about this at home. You're safe right?"
"I'm fine mom, but I'm pretty sure the dead guy isn't."
"I'm more concerned about you."
"Thanks mom. I'll see you at home."
"Ok. Love you, Jenna."
"You too, mom."
Jenna hung up the phone. She pulled up her messaging app and checked Hannah's message.
