School buses are not the most loved form of transportation. They are smelly, hot, overcrowded, noisy, bumpy, and to some, humiliating.When asking my friends how they are getting home after school,
the ones who have to take the bus sigh, roll their eyes,
and with disgust say, "ugh...the bus."
Call me crazy, but my reply to these friends is, consider yourselves lucky.
I am one of those people who wants to live life as though it were a movie.
I want to fall in love like you would in a movie.
I want to live happily ever after like you would in a movie.
I want to fight with my parents the way you would in a movie- yelling at them, walking away, and leaving them speechless (unfortunately that is never the case with my parents, they always have something to throw back at me. I simply could never get away with that), and
I have always wanted to ride the school bus like you would in a movie.
Living walking distance from school, I have never been given that opportunity.
For some reason, I really do envy children who are forced to ride the bus to school.
I have always wanted to be greeted on a daily basis by a friendly,
or not-so-friendly old bus driver.
I've always wanted to get on board and run to the spot my best friend would be saving for me.
I've always wanted to be on a bus with a bully, for some strange reason, who won't let any one but them sit in the back seat.
However, I am the lame child who snags a ride in a comfortable, warm, quiet car.
So really, children who have to take the yellow beast to school every morning,
consider yourselves lucky.
Because I know of one little girl who would
just love to take your spot.
