Autumn felt a presence and looked up from her drawing. She blinked, mind taking a few seconds to figure out what changed. A boy had apparently gotten on the bus and had chosen the seat next to her. She saw he began conversing with the girl in the seat in front of them but with her headphones on she couldn't hear what they were saying. Speaking of her headphones. She pulled them off and rubbed her right ear, the appendage having been aching for having her headphones on for so long. She gave the two of them a curious look one more time before looking back down at her drawing. She had finally finished the details on the roses and now she leaned closer to the sketchpad, beginning to shade in the angels wings.

Alison continued to gaze out the window, oblivious to all that was going on in the bus.
