Leaving..

5 years later it was time for River to leave for the school, he was not very happy about it. His mother had become depressed from stress and overwhelming sadness. River packed some of his things into a backpack and went downstairs, him and his mother kind of stopped talking but since they lived in the same house together they had to talk to each other "a bus will come to take you soon" said Rivers mother quietly, River did not respond, he put his shoes on and went outside to wait for the bus that eventually came and stopped in front of his house, when he boarded the bus it was crowded with lots of 13 year olds talking to each other about stuff, like normal school kids do, there was a seat next to a girl named amber that was open, so River went and took a seat, she was reading a book, it started to get dark and more and more children boarded the bus, there was now little room but everyone somehow managed. "Everyone should get some sleep, you all have a big day tomorrow" the the bus driver, everyone cramped together slowly, VERY slowly managed to fall asleep.
