So today I was sitting in the bus and heading home. I usually just play some games on my phone until it’s my turn to get off. That’s why I didn’t notice for a while but then I realized we were going back to the school for some reason. Nobody else seemed to have noticed until we went to a complete stop by the sidewalk and everyone starting looking around.
The bus driver opened up the door and Mr. Monopoly came up and talked to her. If you’re wondering his name isn’t actually Mr. Monopoly it’s just that he looks like that guy from the Monopoly board game so everyone calls him that. To be honest I don’t actually know what his last name is, I just know his first name, which is Larry.
Now that I think about it, Mr. Monopoly might be his actual name. I’ve never heard anyone call him anything else.
Anyway the bus driver who is this nice old lady opened up the door for Mr. Monopoly and they started talking for a bit. I was wondering what was up because our bus was the only one the stayed behind; the rest had left to drop off the other kids. The two chatted for a bit and I picked up some bits of their conversation. One word that caught my attention was “accident”. Another was “replacement driver”.
Immediately I stupidly assumed that our bus crashed into something or got a flat tire but I definitely would have felt it if that happened. Mr. Monopoly and the bus driver were sort of laughing and Mr. Monopoly told her that “accidents happen”, and was saying something about how she didn’t see her, so I then assumed she had left a student behind on accident.
This was my conclusion for a while until this squeaky voiced fifth grader in the front asked the bus driver why we were waiting so long. And the bus driver told us that apparently when she had been pulling out, one of the safety patrols ladies was bending over and got her foot run over by the bus. All of us were just staring at each other with this wide-eyed look and most people were half-laughing. I wasn’t sure if I should laugh too or if I should just stay quiet.
Eventually someone came and started interrogating the bus driver. I think it was a police officer although I couldn’t tell since he never entered the bus. Whoever it was, he asked the bus driver a few questions like “Was it an accident?” and then took her away to who knows where. A replacement driver came and then we all went home.
anyway, I hoped you enjoyed, don’t bother responding because your opinion is wrong and you’re just a hater. sayonara!
