I walked down the stairs and looked into the living room that was empty. I looked into the kitchen and nobody was there either. "I guess my dad's not here, not that I care," I thought. I usually don't take the bus, but I deiced to. I walked down the block, all the way to the bus stop. I stood there for 5 minutes and it gave me some time to think. I was wondering that now that I was going back school, will people be worried? Would the other students at school stare at me? I missed four days, that's not bad, right?
Beep, beep," the bus driver was beeping at me, trying to get my attention. I guess I was daydreaming too long. The bus doors opened and made a big screech. "Come on, I don't have all day," the old bus lady said with a grumpy look on her face. As I walked up the steps and stood in the aisle, I wondered what seat I should sit in. "Come on, take a seat," the old lady said as she pulled a leaver to close the doors. While I was walking down the aisle, the old bus lady started driving. I tripped and kept, hoping that nobody noticed. The thing I didn't know was that was a bump heading our way and the lady was driving fast, so the bump made the whole bus shake. I fell onto an empty seat and bumped my head on the wall. "Ow," I whispered.
The bus finally stopped at my school, Rosa Bell High, and don't get too caught up in the name. It's not as good as you think.
"Come on, kids. Wake up, like I said, I don't have all day," the old lady said as she walked through the aisle, waking up anyone who fell asleep on the bus. As I walk to the building, everyone was getting in line through the backpack check. Some kids cut in line, some got of the line to throw away trash and can't get back in the line, and us respectful and kind people just stood at the end of the line. "Huh, this kinda reminds me of how the lunch line works," I thought.
"Move it loser," some guy said as he shoved my right shoulder.
"What do you mean, the only loser I see is you," I said.
"What did you say-"
"Hey man, just let it go," another guy said, standing next to him.
"Yeah, get lost," I said while flipping him off. (Maya has very low respect for bullies and cheaters). He growled at me and walked away to cut somebody else in line. The long line made me eight minutes late, but my math teacher didn't mind.
