The crowd and noise in front of the school building clashed with the cacophony inside Adina’s head leaving her totally disoriented.
“Hey Adina got a seat?”
Adina turned. “No not yet.”
Gitty giggled. “What’s the rush right? We’ll be on that bus for hours.” She jerked her head toward the row of buses waiting. Luggage was still piled in haphazard stacks all along the curb. “No reason to get on now. It’s going to take them a while still to load.”
Adina nodded. There was an awkward pause then Gitty wandered away.
The milling crowd was getting on Adina’s nerves. What was she doing here anyway? Adina Silvermintz getting on the bus for Shabbaton! How ironic was that? When she couldn’t afford Shabbaton she’d wanted to come but now that she was here she wished she was anywhere else. And the noise was giving her a headache.
