Blood & Roses

I was alone, sitting out at the bus stop on August 14, my stomach full of Lucky Charms and a bagel. I was roasting. I had a water bottle for an hour, and the water was almost gone because it evaporated in my mouth. It was 8 am, but it was already hot. Finally, I saw the bus coming. I was relieved. All the Valley High buses had air conditioning. It finally screeched to a stop, about a block ahead of the regular bus stop. I groaned with anger. I ran up there to the big yellow mathoozela, only to find that it's a/c was broken. I was so mad, I wanted to scream. I stepped on the bus, and finding that the big yellow bus was like a recycling plant, full of water bottles, and only one seat open next to a sort-of-emo kid. I hesitantly sat down next to him. "Hi", I said with regret. "my name is Destiny."
