You decide to just walk. Maybe you'll catch the bus when it stops at the light or something. You think back to the bus rides last term... You remember this road. You keep going along it until you get to the street with the scraggly bush on the corner then turn left. Then a quick right and you get to the round about. You pass the round about and keep going to the big clock where you turn... Um... Left. Yes that's right, left. Then there's some traffic lights after a bit where you turn... Right... You think... past the petrol station. And then school's on the left.Yes, that sounds about right. You set off at a brisk pace.
Right... Then a left here... Right... Strait past the round about...
Something seems wrong. You look around.
You're on a street you don't recognise. There's a general store on the corner, the kind of place that sells lollies, petrol and maps to tourists. Though why there'd be a tourist here you don't know. It's a nice enough area with trees and nice houses and a playground up the way, but that's about it. No, you're definately lost. Lost! You can go and ask the general store for directions, maybe even a map!
DING DONG!!! DING DONG!!!
It's the clock, it dosn't sound very far away. Maybe a street or two over. You realise that you don't need a map, you can just follow the sound to the clock and you can go from there. Still, it might be smart to get a one just in case.
