She'd been crossing the same bridge for two years. She just never knew who was waiting on the other side.
Finally, it was Friday.
It was the start of a new semester, and for the first time in her life, Qistina felt this way... right after that night last Friday. The night she met him for the first time this final semester. The way he stared at her, his deep voice... Qistina could still feel it. For some reason. She didn't know what the exact answer was.
What she did know was that her heart hadn't been at peace since that night.
The bus crossed the bridge at 7:42 a.m.
Qistina sat in her usual seat in the third row by the window and watched the sea move beneath the rails. Grey today. Calm. The kind of calm that felt like waiting.
But the bridge... the bridge made her feel like something was off. Something wasn't right there. She didn't know how to describe it, but it always gave her the same vibe. The same feelings and... it was dark. Same as at The Vault.
The first time you cross it, you feel privileged.
The second time, you realize you can't leave whenever you want.
And that's how she felt whenever she crossed it. It was the first thing she saw every time she went to the campus.
