Twist and Shout (Choose Your Own Adventure)

Chapter One

You glance down at your watch. Three-thirty is nearing.

The sun is setting quickly and the bus was meant to arrive almost twenty minutes ago. At least, that's what was supposed to happen. 

You bite your lip anxiously, wondering what to do next. It will be teatime soon and your mother will begin to worry if you don't get home in time. She's always worrying about one thing or another.

You look out into the gloomy London streets. There isn't much to look at - just a few people strolling along the footpath and the odd car puttering down the road. You consider sticking your thumb out and trying to hitch a lift, but almost immediately decide against. You know your mother would go crazy if she knew you got into a car with a stranger.

You lean against the cold brick wall that's standing behind you. A cold wind blows up your back causing you to shiver. You wrap your coat tighter around your body and shove your trembling hands into your pockets. You gaze up at the overcast sky. It's not getting any earlier. You have to figure out what to do. 

If you want to stay where you are and wait for the next bus, go to Chapter Two.

If you want to try and find another way to get home, go to Chapter Three.
