What if none of the high schoolers rode the bus?
What if no other freshman rode the bus?
The time came, 7:35, I had 7 minutes to walk through the rain to my little bus stop, which shared a sidewalk with the Roslyn café and the Roslyn museum, a few tables, benches and two potted trees. I walked down to the edge of the sidewalk and watched the other stops… no one at busy buddies. But in the distance I could see Audrey at her stop. I was still a little nervous but all my worries about the bus and where to go before class were gone. I looked up to the busy buddies stop and watched the bus round the corner, since it was raining I went to stand in the little nook that was the Roslyn cafés entrance and waited for the bus. In a few minutes I walked out and watched the bus go the last block, waited for the door to open and climbed on. The bus then drove down to Audrey’s stop and she got on and we chatted the rest of the way to the school.
Once we got off the bus we went through the doors of the school and rounded the corner into the commons and found our little group now including Heather, Cameron, Van, Tasha, lyric, Raechelle, Christen, and Jacqueline. We all chatted about our first classes and then someone pointed out that it was getting close to 8:15 and most of us had to go down to the middle school for band.
We sat through band while Mr.Ray went on about Class and concert expectations. He explained the concert and event calendar, telling us that some events were subject for change. And as fast as we had walked in it seemed the bell was ringing.
We headed back to the high school and I found someone heading to the same class as me.. Mr.Hamel’s Survey art class. We got there and I found a place next to Jacqueline. Then Sara joined then Tyler came. We sat there while Mr.Hamel explained his class to us and again, the bell rang all of a sudden.
We all filed into the gym and we sat through our first assembly of the year.
Finally it was time for Algebra 1B, Joy right? We got our books, Mrs. Dell explained her class to us and finally after such a short morning it was time for lunch! Finding Heather, my sophomore friend, wasn’t hard, since I kind of just walked down the hallway and there she was... Anyways I followed her and joined her group but eventually started wandering, finding groups I fit in with. Lunch seemed to go the fastest of any class and the bell rang and me and Sam headed to class, Sam left me at her “mental health class” while I continued to Personal choices.
Besides thinking that the class was boring, and I admit it kind of was... but I didn’t get to bored sitting there until she had us organize our self’s by height then birthdates(without talking on the birthdates one) Then we went through the syllabus by filling out a sheet and she gave the first 8 who got the most right prizes the next day (I got dots!! Yay Ms. Bender is now my favorite teacher) The bell rang and me and Sam went to English 9A.
English 9A was the least boring class altogether, the teacher, Mr.Anderson, can be talking about one thing then suddenly focus on something else. I can relate to that. But unfortunately his class seemed to go to fast and the bell rang and we headed to “digital communication tools”.
This class was mostly about talking the first day and by then all of the nervousness was gone. I wasn’t thrilled about being here in school again, but I wasn’t annoyed or worried about it either. The best part about digital communication tools is that we got to try and figure out which language each welcome belonged to… I got 2 right while Jacqueline got all 8 right! Good thing that wasn’t worth a grade, right?
I wondered what I was supposed to do once the bell rang again, just kinda… walk to my bus from here at the highschool. As I worried my last worry of the day, besides trying to explain to my dad how today was, the bell finally did ring. I Packed up my stuff and walked out of the classroom finding heather I walked with her to my bus then said “bye” while she continued on to her.
One of the things I hate most about school is the bus.
1. It stinks.
2. It’s loud!
3. I don’t really have many friends that ride it
So it came as a shock watching Lyric, one of my best Junior friends, step up the steps and walk down the aisle. I called her name and asked her to sit by me. She said sure and sat down as Audrey, one of my good Freshman friends walked on and down the aisle. She took a seat behind me. I laughed, no room for both of them! I talked to lyric and audrey both on the way back and when lyric got off, the first stop, Audrey came and sat by me. We talked and I got off my bus, thinking Audrey was getting off too. Nope, she stayed on, so while I looked stupid, the bus drove off. I sighed and began to walk home, fearing I might run into Ian, one of my friends, I didn’t really want to run into him since I wanted to get home as soon as possible. I saw him beginning to come around the corner and bolted for it.. I hope he didn’t see me! Once I was out of site I walked the rest of the way.
At home I first ate my snack then did a wash, after that I went up stairs and went through my homework.. more like stuff me and my dad have to sign.. anyways after my “homework” was done I headed down stairs and put my wash in the dryer then made dinner and took a shower, all getting ready for my second day of highschool. After dinner I went to dry my hair and around when I’m at least supposed to be upstairs I realized my dad still had “homework” of his own.
So I helped my dad fill out the papers that needed to be signed and by around midnight we were ready to sleep.
Can’t wait till next summer!... and then next year… right? How about you?
