The bus was had only one passenger that was currently asleep at the back of the bus. The bus driver walked to the back of the bus and softly shook the passenger. She jolted awake and looked around frantically, but she soon calmed down when she saw the bus driver smiling at her.
The passenger was a girl with very light brown skin and long curled brown hair. She wore an old grey hoodie, black shirt, sliver cross necklace, worn out black jeans and old sneakers. She had bags under her eyes and a small backpack sat next to her. This was in fact the protagonist of this story, Zahra Williams.

Zahra pulled out the earbuds from her ears and took out an old IPod that had cracks and tape around it, she pushed one of the buttons to turn it off and put it back into her pocket.
"Why'd the bus stop?" Zahra asked.
"Well that's because we're here." The driver responded with a bright smile.
"Oh." Zahra responded distantly as she looked out the window then she looked back at the driver "Sorry for falling asleep on your bus sir."
"Hey, that's no problem. You seemed tired so I let you get your rest and call me Gabe or Fluffy, sir's what I'll finally call my dad when he comes back home." Gabe joked.
