**TWO HOURS TO APPALACHIA** The school bus drones along the winding road, carrying the whole class toward the wilderness. Miss Sasha and Mister Demi monitor the uproar from the front seats. Oliver, Edward, and Zip argue loudly over something trivial. Ruby, Lizzy, and Petunia struggle to restrain Riley, his knife glinting as he strains toward Robby. Kevin reads undisturbed in his seat. Skell watches from the back, a quiet spectator to the madness. I’m wedged between Engel, Claire, and Bubble, the air buzzing with anticipation and noise. (CHANGE YOUR SEAT BY EDITING TEXT) **Oliver**: "How much longer, Miss Sasha?" **Miss Sasha**: "Two hours, precisely." *Their chatter fills the bus.*
