Today was the first day of Ava's college trip. The school has arranged a bus to take the students to X city. It was a three-day trip that will take them out of the city and into the mountains. They were supposed to get in touch with nature.
Kelly and Ava were late. They almost didn't catch the bus because Kelly got up late, she had a late shift at the cafe the night before and didn't come home until the wee hours of the morning.
Hardin had been eagerly waiting for the trip. He decided that he will confess to Ava on this trip. This is his last year, and he will complete his studies in a few months, and as soon as he starts working, there wouldn't be much time to hang out or connect with Ava.
He was reserving an empty seat next to him on the bus just for that purpose. He wanted Ava to sit next to him.
The professor scolded Ava and Kelly when they came running late to the bus.
