Veronica sat slumped against the bus wall, reading her book. "Whatcha reading?" Jack asks from the front. "Just a little love fairytale."  Veronica sighs.

Veronica has never had very many friends, ex pet for Hannah. She has always been a strange girl with an odd ability.

Veronica has been able to see into the mind of someone else in a different land. The visions have always been blurry and in black and white, but still they are there.

Veronica has told many people and everyone thinks she is crazy, even her father. The only person that believes her visions is Hannah.

SoVeronica has stuck to books. Letting her imagination run free, it's like expressing herself in a different form, books are a part of her.

Veronica sighs and stands up, putting her book down. She walks to the front of the bus and sits on the stairs by the door, looking at the world speed by.

"Alright first stop! You hungry?" Jack looks down at Veronica who is still on the steps. Veronica had not realised how hungry she was until he mentioned it. "Yes!" Veronica says enthusiastically, standing up.

She covers herself with her hood and walks inside the truck stop, to be greeted by oily food smells, she loved it.

They order their food and Jack waits for the food while Veronica sits down at a small tale near the back of the cafe.

Jack walks over with a tray of food and they both tuck in, taking about their lives.

"Yeah, I really want to be a cook but bus driving runs I the family, and once you sign up its hard to back down. I don't want to disappoint my mum." Jack sighs.

"If you want to be a chef, go for it!" Veronica smiles with her mouth full of French fries.

"If your parents really love you they will want  you to do what makes you happy. Plus your food is great." Veronica says, grabbing another fry.

"Thank you Veronica! I will. When I get home." Jack smiles with determination in his voice. "You can call me Roni." Veronica smiles.

"That was an intense meal." Veronica laughs, walking in the bus. "Yep, and we have more for the journey." Jack hands Veronica a large bag of food and gets on the bus himself.

"You can keep it up here so Tucker doesn't eat it." Jack points to a cupboard above the drivers seat. "Okay." Veronica heaves the heavy bag into the cupboard and snaps it shut."

She walks to the back of the bus and decides to take a nap, seeing as she can't on a normal bus.

Veronica grabs a blanket for her bag, as well as a pillow and her childhood doll, Margaret.

Margaret has always been missing, but something feels odd, different, like something is missing whenever she holds her.

All of a sudden, Veronica gets another vision.

"What does this mean? I've been thinking about it for hours. 'She died years ago.' Nothing more nothing less! Ugh." The girl slumped against a wall after her complaint with a cat, presumably hers. The girl picked up her phone and went to Twitter. She went to her account, and the username flashed for a moment, V......N.......M.

Veronica snapped back into reality. "VNM?" Veronica questioned. She ran for her bag and pulled out her phone, loading Twitter.

"What's up Roni?" Jack questions. "It's nothing!" Veronica yells back. Jack shrugs it off and continues bobbing along with the music, occasionally glancing at Veronica.

Veronica types in VNM to the Twitter search bar. There are thousands of accounts, u til one catches her eye.....

Kinda predictable but ehh
