Focus. Focus. She took in deep breaths, in through the nose, out the mouth—all the while silently chanting, It’s just a dream, it isn’t real, it isn’t real.
Either she wasn’t asleep or her and her focus had gotten on the wrong bus, and darn if she didn’t wish she’d followed it onto a different bus. Still not wanting to believe her eyes, she gazed around at the others. Blond Boy looked at her, and his eyes were black again.
Creepy. Was none of this coming across completely off the normal chart to anyone else in the bus?
Turning in her seat again, she looked back at the boy she’d dubbed the most normal. His soft green eyes, eyes that reminded her of Trey’s, met hers, and he shrugged. She didn’t exactly know what the shrug meant, but he didn’t appear all that weirded out by everything. Which in some small way, made him as weird as the others.
Kylie swung back around and grabbed her phone from her purse and started texting Sara. Help! Stuck on a bus with freaks. Total, complete freaks.
Kylie got a text message back from Sara almost immediately. No, you help me. I think I’m pregnant.
