3. She could call her dad. Ha.

三、她可以打电话给爸爸。哈。

Even if Eleanor could avoid the bus today, even if her fairy godmother showed up with a pumpkin carriage, she'd still have to find a way to get back to school tomorrow morning.

就算她的神仙教母此刻现身，变出一辆南瓜马车，让她躲过今天的校车之旅，明天上午，她还是得设法来上学。

And it's not like the devil-kids on the bus were going to wake up on the other side of their beds tomorrow. Seriously. It wouldn't surprise Eleanor if they unhinged their jaws the next time she saw them. That girl in the back with the blond hair and the acid-washed jacket? You could practically see the horns hidden in her bangs. And her boyfriend was possibly a member of the Nephilim.

同车的那些小魔头也不可能一觉醒来就变了个人。老实说，如果下次他们朝埃莉诺龇牙咧嘴，她也不会意外。至于坐在车尾的那个穿褪色牛仔夹克的金发女孩，你几乎能看见她刘海下面有两只角，她的男友还可能是巨人国的一员。

2. She could call her mom and ask for a ride. Pros: Lots. Cons: Her mom didn't have a phone. Or a car.

二、她可以打电话叫妈妈来接她。优点：很多。缺点：她妈妈没电话，也没车。

Eleanor considered her options:

埃莉诺思索着可能的选择：

4. She could call her grandma. Just to say hi.

四、她可以打电话给奶奶。纯属问候。

She was sitting on the concrete steps at the front of the school, staring out at the row of yellow buses. Her bus was right there. No. 666.

她坐在校门口的水泥台阶上，望着一整排的黄色校车。她的校车就在那里，666号。
