Description
The houses drifted away, giving way to the trees. Magix was behind them, and ahead of them was the anxious ride to Althea, through the forests, leading to a new life. The bus was practically empty in the early hours, but even at that time the quiet conversation of the traveling companions could be heard from behind. Still, leaving early had been a good decision.
Elaine looked at the scenery outside the window, her mind racing with thoughts as the view outside changed.
Leaving Magix she was able to calm herself down a bit before the first day of school. Not even so much herself, but the boy who had escorted her on her way. He hadn't hesitated a moment when she'd asked him to walk her to the train station and had met her at the very door of the house, so as not to leave her alone before the upcoming separation.
Yes, Magix was very close by, and it wouldn't have been difficult to sneak home at any time, but that was out of the question. Elayne was confident of a new beginning. Though after her last attempt, anxiety kept her on her toes. Would she be able to cope? Would she be able to settle into the new school? Would it be hard on her? Although she already knew the answer to the last question, the thought of a new life at a new school kept her anxious.
The sounds of the engine running outside, the air conditioner blowing fresh air inside the cabin, the voices of the passengers and her own thoughts began to merge more and more into a single hum. She knew what the sign was and hurriedly put on her headphones with a quiet tune. Tension grew and her hands began to go through the folds of her clothes, strands of her hair, a silicone teddy bear that had been caught from the purse she had prepared beforehand. It was very exciting to watch the forest along the road getting thicker and thicker. It looked like the walls of Althea were about to appear.
It was time for a new beginning.
