"Hey guys!" Jazmine says as she closes the door and walks down to the pavement. She wears a short sundress and her long hair waves side to side. She looks great, ready for her first day...

Wait. Her long her waves side to side??

Huey presses his lips together, seeing Jazmine's new flat straight hair, but says nothing. Who am I to tell her what to do?

"Who's your new friend guys?" Jazmine asks as she steps next to Huey and begins walking with them to the bus stop.

"I'm Mindy Kimble! I just moved down the block," the blonde haired girl introduces, holding out her hand.

Jazmine shakes it, making Mindy make a relieved face that she wasn't rejected, again. "I'm Jazmine. Jazmine DuBois. So, first day?"

Mindy shrugs shyly. "Yeah..."

"Don't worry! You'll love Wuncler High! We all do."

The two Freeman boys glare at her. "I don't," Huey says.

Jazmine ignores him. "Huey thinks its an evil place. These guys are always starting brawls there. They even went to jail once, just to visit the prison and see what their future would be like, but it didn't go well...at all...some prisoners even broke out."

"That was you?!"

Riley begins to laugh, holding his sides. "Ay Huey. Rememba them gay ass niggas that wanted ta rape Tom?! Man dat wus sum funny shit!"

Huey rolls his eyes, quickening his walking pace. When they reach the bus stop Mindy's the first to walk in, when Huey goes next Uncle Ruckus jumps out of his seat and stands in front of the door, putting his hands on his waist. "Where you think you little niggas are goin?"

"Uh...is there a problem here?" Mindy asks looking over his shoulder at the other three.

"Don't worry yourself pretty white lady, just go sit down. I'll handle this one," he smiles at Mindy and snarls when he looks back the others. "What ya'll niggers waitin fo?? Shoo! Dis ain't ah jail bus!"

Huey and Riley glare at him hard, Jazmine stands behind Huey, scared. "Nigga I'm tired of yo shit. You gon let us on dat bus or else!" Riley says stepping foward.

"Guys! What's happening?!" Mindy yells, tired of being shut out.

"Dis nigga ain't lettin us on da bus cuz we black!" Riley yells. "Even tho racist bastard black as coal himself!"

"What?! For yo information, ah actually got sum Irish blood in me! I'm sufferin from da same disease Michael Jackson got, but da opposite! You lil-"

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Mindy interrupts.

"Uncle Ruckus, no relation-"

"Do you own this transporting business?"

"No but-"

"Do you own this vehicle?"

"No! But-"

"When parents pay money does it go to you? Or does it go to your boss?"

".....mah bo-"

"Then I don't see how you even have a right or the privilege to even stop these children from getting on this bus!" Mindy crosses her arms over her chest. "Just how many complaints are needed to get you fired?"

The two black (and half black) children watch in awe and amazement as Uncle Ruckus quietly steps back into the bus and sits on his driver's seat, starting the engine and waiting for the others to get it. Mindy steps aside letting them pass. Riley's the first to bump her shoulder with his fist as he walks in.
