CHAPTER 4

" Girls, girls ! Wake up ! I've been shouting for longer than I should be!"
  "I'm awake Mom we'll be right down!" I said. I was still thinking about last nights events. I heard a loud snore from Mary's bed and, and I remembered that she wasn't awake yet. "Mary, wake up , we have school today !" I said in her ear.
   We decided to not tell anyone about the voices last night so we wouldn't scare anyone . But it was still weighing heavily on my mind . Soon we were downstairs. We had to eat breakfast quickly and then make lunch and get everything by the door because the bus was going to be arriving in 5 minutes. Mom was going to drive everyone else to school . It was very sad that we had to take the bus,  because in my school in New York, everyone who's 'cool' gets a ride to school but all the 'scary' kids take the school bus. I didn't have a lot of time so I just took an apple to school. It was very different than what Mary was making. Mary was making a turkey salad sandwich and a chicken salad.
"Wow , how do you have enough time for all that ?" I asked .
" Well , to start with I didn't spill my cereal on my little sister, and I didn't splash my tea on the window , that's always a good thing to not do , and I'm am very organized." she said jokingly even though I really did that , Rachel was still mad at me about that, she had to go and retake her shower.
" Awww come on, I'm not a morning person!" I said back also jokingly. I heard a honking sound outside and we had to rush out to catch the bus. As soon as we stepped on to the bus , everything went quiet everyone was pointing at our clothes and whispering to their friends. I could understand that, I mean we were wearing fancy new skinny jeans and expensive tops that we got from Nordstroms , We also had purses and Sunglasses on , I guess we made an impression on them because they started to sit up taller  and straighten up there jeans that were ripped in several different places and hide there dirty sneakers .
     "These kids are from New York City and we are going to welcome them in a nice way aren't we ?" said the Bus driver , I read his name tag it said Al, typical bus driver name.
There was a grumble from all the kids. We walked to the back seat and went to sit down. As soon as we sat down this girl walked on the bus, she was about 6 feet tall  and really buff like she could beat up a kid in 30 seconds and leave the kid crying for his Mommy. She wore a leather jacket, with little golden chains attached everywhere , Black cargo pants that were ripped and all droopy around the knees. She also wore black combat boots and a fingerless glove, her face was also very frightening, she had a scar running from the left corner of her mouth to the right corner of her chin ,  The whole picture was very scary. And , to make matters worse, she was coming right for us.
     "Get out of my seat punks!" she yelled in our faces, she had terrible breath.
     " We were here first , sit somewhere else!" said Mary. I was to scared to say anything, I was still trying to recover from her breath.
    " That's her seat , it's been her seat for four years, it's not gonna change." said a girl sitting in front of us."I'm Amy , and that's Jessica." The girl leaned towards my ear. " She's the school bully , even the toughest boys stay out of her way. As if to prove Mary's point Jessica cracked her knuckles menacingly. Mary and I scrambled . I think that is the only way to describe how fast we moved. We sat by the bus driver .
     " I's a wee bit long of a drive about 45 minutes away, I suggest a nap, there is a big day ahead of you. " said Al . We were going to take his advice but we heard a loud screech and then a terrible crunching sound , then everything went black.
