Chapter 39 by Almax Almax

How abo- you know.

Nah, you're all good to relax until it's time to leave.

Yeah! It's been a pretty full week, so you're fine to just hang out at the bus stop for a while until it's time to go. It'll give you time to reflect. Time to think about all you did to get here -- and all that's happened in your first week. All the people you've met, each either trying to help you reach your dreams or trying to reach similar dreams of their own..... the lessons you've learned....... the reality of your own goal in life being that much closer.......

Anyway, after a few seconds of that, you feel justified enough to go back to thinking about ice cream flavours like usual. You saw salted caramel as an option once at one place, but you didn't end up getting it because there was also raspberry and white chocolate and you can't just say no to a raspberry and white chocolate ice cream. But it was just kind of okay. Muffins that flavour are the best, though. Anyway, conclusion is, you don't know what salted caramel ice cream tastes like. Does it have real salt in it, as an ingredient? Or would that, like...... dissolve the ice cream if true? You're not sure. The sea has salt in it, and you heard once that seaweed is used to make ice cream, but that's way too yucky to be true. Maybe it's used in pistachio.

Pretty soon, the time's flown by with you sitting at the bus stop bench, and it's set to arrive at any minute. You've been sitting with your metal briefcase in your lap, and both hands flat on its top. There were a few people hanging around nearby, but luckily most were standing and you had the whole bench to yourself. But now that the bus is coming there's a ton more people all around here also waiting for it after doing their last stuff in the university, and you stand up and walk closer to the edge of the pavement so that you can get a good seat.

You're holding the briefcase in front of your legs, both hands on its handle. You scan the crowd for any faces that you recognise.....{if@ NewtonGym == True} oh, hey, you spot Newton! He's still shirtless, actually..... he's with a big group of third year friends, you think, but you give him a little wave as you stand there at the edge of the street and he gives you a big wave back like he's not seen you in years.{if ArenaAccess == True} Nora's in that group of friends too! She gives you a little smile, but you think she's pretending like she doesn't know you to her friends.{if LolaKnow == True} O-one of which is Lola.....{endif}{elseif LolaKnow == True} L-lola's in that big group too, actually.......{endif}{elseif ArgentOut == True}{if Sorority == False} you see that group of girls all circled around Talia again, with her short crop of white hair, but you're not really like.... friends with them or anything, so it'd be a bit weird saying hi.{else} you don't see your new friends in the Argent Sorority around, actually. They must be dealing with something, then, since you're pretty sure they're on this same bus into the city too.{endif}{endif}

You don't see any of your classmates right away as you're looking around, though. You know that Cameron's already left on a different bus, but you thought you'd have seen more of your regular class here..... still, it's most of the university and teachers that go into the main parts of Kokkinport along this bus route, so you might just not be stopping them.

At last, you see the bus driving up the road towards you all. It slows down to come to rest just in front of the bus stop. A few other people had the same idea as you, but you were still pretty early while all of the others were chatting, so you're like third to get onto the bus. Easy seat pickings for you!

Hmmmm....... where should you choose........

More fun
