Harley still wasn't completely used the the idea of randomly waking up in her bed in the morning. How she got back there was always a mystery, and a creepy one at that. But none of the nurses ever said anything to her about it, and she didn't plan to bring it up with any of them.
She had woken up with a start, blinking a bit confused and still shaken by the random attack from the night before. But no, just like all the other times, she had woken up in her room... Before she could start thinking about the ridiculousness of the whole thing, the door of her room opened to reveal that same nurse who woke her up every morning.
"Oh, good. You're up already," the nurse said with a polite smile. "We don't have too much time to get ready before we start loading the buses. Try to change quickly so we can leave soon. You're going to have an exciting day!" It sounded more like the nurse was trying to convince Harley to be enthusiastic for this little bus trip.
Before she could ask more about this 'trip,' the nurse had left the room, leaving behind a neatly folded set of denim overall shorts with cartoon strawberries etched onto the chest and a white t-shirt. There was also a scrunchy for her hair and a pair of raggedy, red converses that looked like they had been worn a few times too many. She could have done without the dumb sneakers but the rest she supposed wasn't all that bad... It was kind of cute in a way.
The nurse was back twenty minutes later, shoving Harley toward the buses like they were in some kind of massive hurry. What was the big rush, anyway? These nurses sure had a big stick up their behinds. Then again, what nurse didn't?
She climbed onto the bus, looking around at the others sitting there already. It was maybe a third full. There were plenty of empty seats. But sitting by yourself got boring real quick. Besides, it would be nice to know what was going on.
Without bothering to ask for permission, Harley plopped down next to one of the first people she noticed as soon as she walked in: a big guy sitting alone. If he was one of those big grumps who'd rather sit alone, well, she'd know soon enough wouldn't she?
"Well, don't this look like fun," she said, half sarcastically, half sincerely. "Didn't know we got to go on field trips. We goin' to an amusement park or somethin'?"
