User blog:SmudgyHollz/Our School Bus

From my previous blog post Awesome, Funny but Totally Mental Dude, you will have gotten the idea of some of the staff of the school. Well here, you will get an idea of my school buses and the drivers...

Ages this bridge was closed because it was too dangerous for even just people to walk across it. Now, it's still closed. So, as you can imagine, the buses are all muddled and confusing. Because of this, I have split this blog into two sections, The Little Bus (the small bus that takes some of us to our old Primary School to get The Big Bus) and The Big Bus (the bigger bus that takes us to the Academy). Anyway, as long as we've got this clear, read on.

The Little Bus
Okay, so lets rewind. A lot. In the summer holidays, all of us who went by bus were given bus passes. Now on mine, it told me that the first bus would be arriving at 08:05 AM. That was the reason I missed the bus the very first day of going to my new school. Rubbish huh? My dad had to drive me all the way (well, its only about five minutes away) to my Primary School to catch the second bus! Anyway, now I am never ever going to forget that the bus arrives at the bottom of my road at 07:45 AM. Ever.

So that's the stupid bus company. Now I'll tell you about my stupidly designed bus.

Okay, so imagine this tiny, tiny bus with the total of nine seats. Now imagine the people inside of the bus getting off of it. Well first of all, none of the doors open from the inside. Secondly, if your sitting on the back row of seats you cant actually get out. Unless, of course, you are a stick. There's about an inch space for you to get out, and if you take away the space the actual door takes up. So there's about a centimeter space. That tells me never to sit in the back row. I wouldn't anyway, because I'm the last picked up and the first dropped off.

Here's my stupid bus driver.

He's this old farmer dude. That gets really hacked off if you are a minute late! He's told the Turnbull's that he is never going to wait for them ever again!! And they were just turning the corner when he turned up! And just this morning, I got onto the bus, closing the door behind me because it was cold and rainy. Before I even have time to plug myself in, he speeds off, not waiting another moment for my neighbour and racing past her as he turns around!!

And lastly, here's the stupid people of my bus.

Well, there's only two stupid people really. There's Stewart who was telling us yesterday about his holiday when he took only a pyjama top, some trousers and a jacket! And then there's Josh. Well, again, lets rewind. At my Primary School, when he was in P7 (the last year by the way), he takes off his jumper. Nothing unusual about that. Except that underneath he was wearing his pyjama top. And it was inside-out and back-to-front! And then a month later, he does the same thing!! And now, today, Felicity asks him why he's wearing two shirts. Stewart then says, no three. And Josh replies *beep* off. Stewart sniggeres and says, You're wearing your pyjama top under your shirt, aren't you? Now that was funny! And stupid!!

The Big Bus
Its always been manky and stinky. But today I was shown how suckish it actually is. Now, imagine yourself as me.

I'm running through the car-park, getting drenched by the rain and cursing the bus-driver for parking so far away from the school. I'm lugging around an unnecessarlily heavy bag and holding a fruit-salad box in my hands. The bus is easily recognizable because of its bright orange curtains. So I get in and sit down.

We begin to drive home. You know that thing in hosiptal programmes that goes beep-beep-beep and when you die goes, be-e-e-e-p? Well that's the noise the bus began to make. Except it was more of a constant be-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ep. Well, I settled and tried to ignore the annoying noise.

It was quite easy because at that moment the dude with the huge hat suddenly realizes he's being dripped on. And its not on his head, it looked like he'd wet himself. So he looks up, and there's a huge damp patch over his head. He can't move seats because of the guy sitting next to him so he stands up, cups his hands and attempts to catch the water in his hands. Not very successful.

I look up and down at the rest of the bus and there are damp patches everywhere. Luckily, none were above me.

The huy sitting next to the dude with the hat gets off and the dude with the hat takes his seat. Which is right next to the door of the bus. The door of the bus that didn't seem to want to close. So the bus driver actually had to stop the bus and tug the automatic door closed!!

And there you have it - my beeping, leaking broken doored bus!!
