On the way: 
She's a pretty young woman, dark grey eyes and long strawberry blonde hair reaching past shoulders covered by a coral cardie, sleeveless to reveal two silver bangles on her right wrist and a girl's name tattooed on the inside of her left wrist along with a little heart and two simple daisies. 
Her face, lightly made up ("nude" but for a faint orange glitter on her eyelids), is animated as she chats and laughs with the middle-aged woman next to her in a braid bob and a brown and turquoise Seventies-style psychedelic shirt. 
She's all smiles, talking with her mouth, her eyes and her hands, which weave gracefully, flat-palmed, as her bracelets on her arms and the ring on the middle finger of her right hand pick up the morning light flickering through the window - except when she gazes out wistfully at the world as it passes by, and says, "Oh, I'd do anything to go back to school..."
