Ghost of a Chance
“It’s starting to get dark, and the light from the streetlights bounces off the dusting of snow that’s coating the streets.
I thought maybe Micah would try to sit with me, but he doesn’t. Maybe he’s mad at me for denying he’s the reason I broke up with Brandon. Or he could be sitting up front for some other reason. You never really know with that kid.
As the bus pulls out of the parking lot, Lily appears beside me. She doesn’t say anything, maybe because she senses that I need quiet. I find her ...presence comforting. Even though no one else can see her, it makes me feel like I’m not completely alone.
When I step off the bus at the corner of my street, my boots make footprints in the snow. I breathe the cold air, and my nose tingles. Fall is turning to winter, and in a couple of weeks I probably won’t be able to go outside without wearing my hat and gloves.
When I get to my house, my dad’s truck is parked on the right side of the driveway, and there’s a car I don’t recognize sitting next to it.MoreLess
