Bus Troubles

Several times this week I was wondering what in the world my bus driver was thinking. See, my school just assigned my bus a new bus driver and he's an idiot. He always misses the turn before we get to my school and its really annoying. Monday, he almost missed the turn and he had to go across a lane of traffic to turn. Tuesday, he missed the turn completely and had to turn around. That's not all! When we told him to turn at that light he was going to turn in the opposite direction of the school and then had to go across three lanes of traffic to get to the right turn. Then, he almost flipped our bus going around a turn too fast! Wednesday, after he picked up the people from my stop he didn't move the bus for about ten minutes because "we had a few more minutes" because he was early. Then, when we pulled onto our school's road. He stopped in the middle of the street so he could count the kids on the bus because he forgot. Thursday, when we told him to turn he went in the opposite direction of the school and then had to turn around to get us to school. Friday (today), we told him to turn LEFT and he did. The only thing that didn't make this week's bus ride a complete hell was that Desmond's dad, our original bus driver from last year, drove our bus in the afternoon and I felt safer with him behind the wheel. Seriously, this morning I found our new bus driver staring out the side window instead of straight forward. And, no, it wasn't a quick glance out the window. He was looking out the for a good minute. I swear, this guy will be the death of my bus.

And that's not all when it comes to my bus. Today there was supposed to be a fight between two kids that ride my bus, Chris and Tim. I was going for Chris to win since I know him better but, anyways. Aparently, Tim likes Chris's girlfriend and is hitting on her when Chris isn't on the bus so, Chris is getting pissed off and wants to fight him. And, Chris has about eight guys behind him that hate Tim as well. Let's see if I can remember all of their names. There's KJ, Stephan, Henry, Jay, Anthony, and Mac were there. I think the other guys were coming later or something like that. Anyways, the thing that suprised me was that Henry had a knife on him because he "knows how rednecks roll" (Tim is sort of like a redneck). After he pulled that thing out I decided to not stay and watch since this thing was getting dangerous and I didn't want to get myself injured so I don't even know if there was a fight or not. I'll have to ask Chris on Monday.

On a different topic for a moment, I know a lot of people get inspiration from different places. Most of the stories I write now come from my own head or lyrics from songs I've heard. Before, I got my inspiration from Mac (same person from above). Such stories as Vinegar, Baking Soda, and AirSoft Bullets, and When You Let Mori Plan a Slumber Party were thanks to the ideas he gave me from the stories he told me at our bus stop last year. He even gave me an idea I'm considering doing which I will call iMan. I have a lot of respect for him as a person and a friend. He's a great person and I know the reason he's on Chris's side for this fight is because Chris is his friend and he'll stick up for him.

And so, I'll end this journal post here. I think I've typed enough about my bus troubles. I don't think I need to go into detail about the five different bus drivers I had last year. Ja ne.
