Matt was tempted to try out the bracelet, but he realized he was on the verge of missing the bus to his high school. He quickly grabbed his bag and almost removed the bracelet to avoid getting mocked for it, but something compelled him to keep it on.
His step-sister, Ashley, was the only one with him at the bus stop, and she was standing five feet away, or rather, Matt was standing five feet away from her because she'd deck him if he got any closer. She was a couple inches taller than him, and the fact that she was taller intimidated him.
When the bus finally arrived, Matt made his way to the back. There's was the first stop, so he was at least lucky in getting to choose his seat. Ashley sat towards the middle. At the next stop, more people got on, and one girl sat next to Ashley. She looked similar to Ashley, but was shorter with black hair. Before long, the bus was full and leaving the subdivision for school.
Matt wondered if he should try out the bracelet then or wait to arrive at school...
