Stephanie was listless in the afternoon heat. Her head lolled on her shoulders, and sweat adhered thick locks of hair to her forehead and neck, but no one noticed since she was in the back of the bus. Everyone thought she was just resting, but once or twice she was pretty sure she had actually passed out from heat exhaustion. She wondered if you could die from that. Could she die right there on the bus, with her fifteen classmates, en route to Exhilarama? What would they do? Would they abandon their afternoon at the coasters and rush her to the hospital? Or would they leave her "napping" in the van and just crack a window to give her some air?
Stephanie thought it was an interesting question, but they'd be more interesting if they weren't about her.
