This happened today on the bus and it's been bothering me all day, so I've decided to just get it off my chest.
Basically, I almost punched a 13 year old today.
Every Wednesday I stay after school for an Academy of Finance meeting and am usually picked up immediately afterwards. Today was an exception, because my mom had to bring my sister to a doctor's appointment and my dad was at work.
That meant I had to take the disgusting late bus. I really hate it because ordinarily my ride is only about five minutes, but the late bus is about forty five. Plus, I had a shit ton of homework to do.
On top of all of that, the bus that went to my house came later than the other two busses. There was a pretty large group of kids waiting for this bus, including a bunch of middle schoolers that had been dropped off for the late bus.
I noticed one kid was standing alone while others were with their friends. He was obviously in sixth grade based on his size (he was about 4'4) and cute little baby face. He was honestly adorable.
The bus finally comes and we all board, but I notice that the little boy had disappeared. I figured maybe he had gotten picked up and I just hadn't noticed.
I try to get a seat close to the front because I figured that it wouldn't take long to get to my stop and I wanted to help the driver know where I live. I end up in the second seat back on the right.
These three boys that were around thirteen, so eighth grade, sat in seats 1-3. I'm sitting against the window with my bag on my lap, listening to music. I knew I'd probably have to share a seat, which has never been a big deal to me.
So we're about to leave and this secretary runs out, leading the little guy to the bus. He gets on and is looking for a seat.
I figure that he'll just sit with me. I mean, I'm leaving over half the seat so he'd fit just fine.
He instead walks past me looking for an empty seat, but realizes that he won't be able to sit on his own.
He comes back toward me and tries to sit with the boy in the seat across from me. At this point he had been standing near the aisle talking with his friends and being obnoxious.
This fucking kid had the nerve to push the sixth grader, who was about half his size, announcing loudly, "Yeah right! Get outta here, I'm sitting alone. Yeah right. Go away."
He shoved him toward me and the boy continued to the next row where the idiot's friends were. They fucking agreed with their friend and pushed him away too.
LISTEN I GET THAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH PUBERTY SO YOU'RE ALL AWKWARD AND CLUMSY AND YOU FEEL THE NEED TO PROVE YOURSELF BLAH BLAH BLAH BUT THAT IS NO EXCUSE FOR BEING SUCH ASSHOLES OKAY
I've been trying to get the little kid's attention, and my heart broke at the embarrassment on this child's face. The rejection, the humiliation. It was awful. He looked like he was about to cry.
I told the kid in the seat that this was fucking ridiculous and to just let him sit with him. He ignored me and kept yelling how he needed his own seat and refused to move over. Even the bus driver was yelling at this kid to move over and he was just yelling over him. The fucking nerve.
His friends were carrying on too, and I'm sure the whole bus saw what was going on because they wouldn't shut the hell up. The boy just stood in the middle of the aisle looking at his shoes, and I finally got his attention.
I told him not to worry about them and to just ignore them and offered him my seat. I let him sit by the window so he could avoid the piece of shit across the aisle.
The bus driver was just like, "See, now you're sitting by the pretty girl and he isn't," and the smile on his face was too much. This boy is such a sweetheart.
We left the school, and as it turned out, the only reason the kid didn't want to share a seat was because he wanted to sit near the aisle to play with his friends on their phones. There was no fucking reason why the little boy couldn't sit by his window. NO FUCKING REASON.
The boy thanked me so sincerely, just saying "thank you, thank you so much," and I just told him don't worry about it, that any decent person would share their seat.
He ended up being one of the first stops, so once again, there was nO FUCKING REASON why the phone kid couldn't move the hell over and avoid making a scene.
As the boy was leaving I just said, "You have a nice day, okay?" And he just started thanking me all over again.
I'm just so fucking pissed at the indecency of this kid that was too concerned with showing off for his gross friends to be kind to a little boy.
Don't get me wrong, I've seen bullying before, but this is the first time that NO ONE SAID ANYTHING.
That's what makes me angriest of all. No one but me said shit as this pint sized sixth grader was shoved back and forth. Immediately after the boy got off the people in the seats directly behind me were like, "that boy was so adorable, I would've shared my seat with him."
Bitch no you wouldn't, because he stOOD RIGT NEXT TO YOU LOOKING FOR A FUCKING SEAT AND I WATCHED YOU PUT YOUR BAG BY THE WINDOW AND SIT BY THE AISLE SO HE DIDN'T HAVE ROOM OKAY SO SHT THW FUCK UP
YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY JUST SAYING THAT FOR ATTENTION SO YOU LOOK GOOD BUT YOU JIST LOOK DAMN STUPID YOU FAKE ASS
I'm sorry, but I can't stand things like this.
Of course I wondered why he didn't just sit by me in the first place considering I was sitting by the window anyway, but I thought about it and he was probably nervous, you know? He's an eleven year old boy and I'm a girl in high school, so he probably was shy. Also, my resting bitch face is pretty hardcore so he probably thought I was mean. Or he thought I had cooties lmao
