I\u2019d never been on a quieter school bus. Kids were whispering to each other, looking scared as hell as the bus clipped stray branches from the endless forest pressing in on both sides of us. \u201cThis isn\u2019t even a two-way road,\u201d I murmured to Flora, the girl sitting beside me. She was chubby and had braces. \u201cI know. Where IS this school? My parents said this would be the greatest thing ever for my college applications, but I don\u2019t know about this.\u201d | Copyright 2018 by Will McIntosh.
