The next day, Xavier did not come to get her. She had waited for ten minutes outside her house, sitting on the porch but he did not come. In the end, when she realised that the bus was missed, she had asked her father to drop her, saying that she was late and would not make it to the school on time.
Maybe he was too. After all, once in a while everyone could be. But she felt bad at the fact that he did not inform her. She was waiting for him too.
Jason did not object. He understood that once in a while, a person would sleep in for a few minutes extra, accidental or not.
She climbed out of the car after bidding her father farewell.
As she walked inside she noticed that not a lot of people were here yet. Given that she came straight by car and not a bus, she had made it sooner than many.
