Stelcy Waylon cocks her head, listening for the faint rumble
of the Trailways bus, making its weekly stop in Cotton Creek, Texas.
Next Sunday, I’ll be on that bus.
She fidgets, barely able to sit still while the pastor drones on.
Just dreaming about being on that bus makes her smile.
One more week. My seventeenth birthday.
Then: Goodbye, Podunk town. Hello, new, exciting life.
Genre: Young Adult Fiction
