Me and matt started walking to the bus stop. I could feel my sister moving against my leg but my dad was completely still. Once me and matt made it to the bus stop we had to wait about 40 minutes for the bus. About ten minutes in matt got a call from his mom so he walked away to talk to his mom. I toke this apprtonity to take my sister and dad out of my pockets. I mom moved to my shoulder when matt left. "Hey guys how are you doing"? I asked them "I'm ok but it's a little hot in there"? My dad said.  "ARE YOU KIDDING ME"!? My sister yelled "it's so hot in there and I can't get comfortable and when  you sit down I get squeezed against your leg!!!". I looked at her annoyed "well I don't know what yo tell you that's your only option unless you want me to leave you here under the bench and come and get you after school !" I yelled making her and my parents cover there ears. She made and annoyed face at me but before Ethier if us could say anything matt started walking towards us. I shoved my dad and sister into my pants pockets and my mom jumped in my hood.

Matt sat down and we just talked till the bus came once it did we got on and me and matt sat beside each other ok different seats. As the bus filled up with kids it got louder I felt I sister and dad push into my leg with there heads to try to block out the sound. I put my hands over them I try and help make it quieter it seemed to work because I felt there body's calm down. But Ithen I felt my mom put her head on the back of me neck. I turned my eye to the back of my head to see if I could see if I could see her but I couldn't. I felt bad for her because there was nothing I could do for her right now I'll I could do was turn on my music give her a earbud and lean my head on the back of the seat to give her some comfort.



The bus ride was short but painful for my family. I got off the bus and started to walk to the school with matt by my side. I had like ten minutes before I had to get to class so I said by to matt and went to the bathroom. Once i was sure i was alone I pulled my sister and dad out of me pockets and set them on the sink counter. Then I reached back behind my neck where my mom was and pulled her of and hugged her into my chest as a hug. "Are you ok mom?" I pulled her away from my chest and asked. "Yes I'm fine it was just loud" she said with a smile I smiled back at her. Then the bell rang *bell*. My mom started screaming and put her hands on her ears as did my dad and sister. They were all screaming I could hear the pain in there voices. I pushed my mom against my chest and reached for my dad and sister with my other hand and pushed them against my chest try to muffle the sound. When the bell stopped I looked at them with Sympathy in my eyes they all gave me a little smile to assure me that they where ok. I smiled back at them and put them back in my pockets and my mom in my hood. I walked out of the bathroom to see empty hallways. I was walking to my class that was on the 3rd floor and I was on the 2nd. Then I hot pushed into the lockers I looked at who pushed me and I thought to myself "fuck"
