Thankfully it indicator blinked as it pulled up alongside him, he didn’t have time to read the full message that was on the screen. He veered his gaze away from it after reading Clearview Valley C—–; obviously it was about to read college, but he was more focused on grabbing his bag from the bench before he accidentally left it behind.

The bus came to a stop and the door swung open automatically, Cody took one step inside before being greeted by the driver. She was a friendly looking woman, middle aged with a big smile plastered across her face.

“You’re looking a bit loss sweetie, are you with the school?” She asked with a hint of mild confusion.

“Yes, Clearview right?” He asked.

“Yep… This is the one, step on up darling.” She replied, offering him a warm smile.

Cody pulled out his bus pass and looked around briskly for the meter to scan it.

Seeing his confusion the driver spoke up. “No charge for this one hun.”
