[center][h3]Lily [color=00aeef]♥[/color] SOUL of Paitence[/h3] "Good things come to those who [color=00aeef][i]wait[/i][/color]." [hr] Lily felt a small jolt of relief when one of the older kids spotted her and offered to share her seat. Lily had been briefly afraid none of them would want her to sit next to them. Lily shuffled over gratefully, taking a seat. She was so small that once seated she was completely hidden by the bus seat in front of her, the top of her head not even coming close to clearing the top of the seat. As she got settled and comfortable, she supposed she had taken too long in answering because soon her seat-mate was chattering with the other children about television shows. Not wanting to interrupt, Lily folded her hands in her lap and simply listened to the conversations flowing around her. However, a loud noise pierced the chaos around her like an arrow and the little girl leaned sideways down the aisle in order to see what was going on. It appears the trip coordinator was ready to get things rolling and had tried to resort to megaphone use, while had apparently backfired. Thankfully though the noise was enough to quiet the bus so Lily could hear the woman as she spoke without the use of the ear-piercing device. Lily quietly listened to the woman speak and when the topic of lunch was brought up, Lily turned to the backpack resting in her lap. She hd packed it herself that morning but it still didn't stop her from pulling down the zipper just in case. Mhm. There sat her lunch box. She had even brought her own band-aids because she knew how clumsy she could be. Satisfied that she was ready for this trip, she turned her attention back to Missus Cassidy just in time to see her elbow the bus driver to spur him into movement. The bus gave a lurch and Lily placed both hands against the seat in front of her to prevent her small body from getting thrown forward. Once the bus had settled, Lily rested her hands around her backpack and simply gazed out of the window, content to watch the scenery go by as they zoomed towards their destination. [/center]
