The bus came to a halt with a screech. 'Here we go again..'
ivy thought as she climbed up the stairs. The bus was empty,
she was the first stop, just like every other time. She went to
the back of the bus and opened the overhead storage and lifted
her small, yet heavy, suitcase into the slot. Her backpack on the
other hand sat beside her. She needed it if she was going to
survive this five hour long drive out into the middle of nowhere,
and plus she sat alone so there was enough room for her and
her bag. She plopped down and pulled out her phone along with
her AirPods. Although the bus was silent right now, in a couple
of minutes there was going to be more students on the bus all
shouting at each other trying to get attention. Her friend weren't
going to be on the bus for another good 20 minutes so she
connected her AirPods to her phone and pumped the volume
all the way up. Loud music was one of the reasons she loved
the long bus ride, she could just be in her own little world. A
world where no one needed anything from her and she could just
do her own thing. A world where she could just sit and look out
the frosted glass windows of the bus while twirling her short black
hair without disruption. Oh what a wonderful world that is. After
26 ish minutes or so she saw a familiar face board the bus, lukiya.
Finally the snowstorm had made us almost seven minutes late.
Lukiya took the backseat next to her, putting her suitcase into the
overhead storage while ivy turned down her volume and took an
earbud out. "Hiiiii!!!" Lukiya said cheerfully. "Hey" replied ivy. "Ughhhh
this whole 'boarding school over Christmas break' thing" lukiya
whined "yea ikr" said ivy. The school they went to was particularly
wealthy so they had a program where if you didn't have anyone
to watch your kids over winter break, you would send them to the
schools extra campus where they would be supervised properly
and only haft to pay the low feed of 200$! Great deal I know! You
get private time to yourself and your kid gets to be forced into social
interactions with classmates! Yay!! And it's super safe with huge
thick walls around the property so then your kid can't run away
either!! Whole package if you ask me! Lukiya and ivy chatted as the
bus drove on. After what felt like ages they finally saw the school
peeking out from the dense forest that were in. Why would you put
a school here it's at least an hour from all the towns and is in the
middle of a huge forest? That's just stupid. The two came around
the loop and parked themselves to let students off. The school had
gotten the mini coach busses because one the gas would cost less
and two they wanted some extra cash for there scones and tea.
Each bus had 10 students on them, equaling up to 20 students.
Lukiya and ivy took their stuff down from the overhead storage
and got off the bus. They were the last ones off and as they
dismounted they could hear the quiet groan of the bus driver
going "ugh finally.." before closing the door. They giggled at that
but their attention was pulled away at the sound of a familiar
voice. "Lukiya! Ivy! Hey over here!" It was lizzy. Lizzy ran over with
there other friend ash following close behind her. "HI!!" You could
hear the excitement in lizzy voice. "Hey" replied lukiya and Ivy.
"This place is in a weird location.." Ash said quietly "yea it's weird"
Ivy said. They looked over and saw everyone starting to head to
the gates. "Looks like we're going" lukiya said before starting to
walk over to where everyone was gathered. It was silent. Everyone
peered up at the huge walls that towered over them in contrast
to the normal size door. "Ugh I'm tired of waiting" a voice spoke
out as they started to walk to the door. A voice that made both
lukiya and Ivy tense. It was mori's voice. Mori went over and
knocked on the door violently. "Hello?! Anyone in there! It's cold
out here!!" She asked in a demanding tone. A few seconds passed
with no response, then you could hear a beeping noise of someone
putting in a code. A man in his late thirties slowly opened the door.
"Oh. I was hoping you guys wouldn't show.." he said in a tired voice.
He held the door open and let everybody inside then the door closed
with a loud slam that made some people jump. "Well, welcome back
to school I guess." He said with a sigh.
