Nora waited patiently for the bus to arrive, sitting on one of the parking blocks. Some bus stop. It was smack dab in the middle of a strip mall. How stupid. The stores weren't even open that early, so Nora always got stuck there without anything to occupy herself. Nora clenched her fists. Stupid bus. Her bus always ran late. The school was probably three blocks away. Nora stood up, and dragged her backpack behind her.
