Annoying Bus Ride

I wake up to the annoying beeps of my alarm clock.

I forgot, I have to take the bus today. I'm going to have to now.

I get up, get dressed, and head down stairs to eat cereal with Liam & Gracie.

"Good morning." My mom says to me, when i grumpily sit down to eat my cereal.

"Good morning...What bus are we riding again?"

"296." She responds.

"Fine."

We eat our breakfast in silence.

After what seems to be about three minutes of eating in silence, Liam and I are finally told to get out of the house. Gracie, being younger than us, stays inside. 

We awkwardly stand at the bus stop together, Liam is looking at his phone and isn't talking to me. 

I hear the bus come from down the road, and start to make sure I have everything. When the school bus finally decides to stop in front of us, the doors open and we get on. 

I have no clue where to sit, so I just choose a spot in front of two girls. Liam finds a spot next to Nico.

Just then I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and see one of the girls scowling at me.

"Uhm, excuse me? Who are you?" She says with an upset tone, "You don't sit there, Becky does."

"I'm Aidahn, I had no clue. Sorry."

The girl who was sitting next to the other girl started to mock me. 

"I had no clue- do you even know who we are?"

"Uh..." I start to panic a little bit, "No?"

They laugh, I get up and sit across from the seat Liam is sitting in. 

I hear them laugh, the bus stops and a girl gets on.

"OH MY GOD, BECKY BEATRICE BENSON !" One of the girls started to scream at the girl walking onto the bus "THIS IDIOT TRIED SITTING IN YOUR SEAT." She pointed at me. 

Becky stops and glares at me, then sits down in my seat that I was sitting in.

"Ugh, erin, Some people have no class." Becky started to say, looking at the girl on the right. 

"Yeah, Stephanie sure showed him" 

I tune out the girls by putting my headphones into my ears, and I listen to my favorite song. I really connect to the lyrics. 

I start to sing along to the lyrics,

"His palms are spaghetti, knees weak, arms spaghetti

There's vomit on his spaghetti already: mom's spaghetti

He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm spaghetti

To drop spaghetti, but he keeps on spaghetti

What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes spaghetti

He opens his mouth but spaghetti won't come out

He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now

The spaghetti's run out, time's up, over - blaow!

Snap back to spaghetti, oh! - there goes gravity

Oh - there goes spaghetti, he choked

He's so mad, but he won't

Give up spaghetti nope, he won't have it

He knows, his whole back's to these ropes

It don't matter, he's dope

He knows that, but he's spaghetti

He's so stagnant, he knows

When he goes back to this spaghetti, that's when it's

Back to the lab again, yo, this whole rhapsody

He better go capture this spaghetti and hope it don't pass him"

I think I feel a tear forming...

But soon enough, I'm at school. 

On my way to the classroom, I see Judy crying outside of her locker.

"What's the matter, Judy?" I ask her.

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just...upset. That's all"

"Are you sure?"

"I'll tell you at lunch..." She says to me, teary eyed. 

"Okay, wanna walk to class with me?"

"Ok..."

We walk to class and I sit down next to her, she's recovered quickly and looks fine. Like she hadn't been crying at all.

I wish I was like her.
