It was my 4th grade year and I just pulled off the most complicated plan that I have ever made. The plan was to get into a “jackpot zone” known as the owls nest in Maple Grove Elementary and take everything that was there along with four of my other friends and two other “friends”. Schools out and everyone is packing at their lockers getting ready to go home. My four friends and I were making our way to the owl’s nest a place where good students got rewarded for excellent behavior but we were…
OWW The horrendous noise of everyone saying "BYE MUM BYE DAD" as the bus drove away from the school and on the way to school camp pierced my ears.

"Eeeewwww look Tia just spewed and it's running running down the middle of the bus."it was disgusting it looked all clumpy it nearly touch my feet it looked like you had a mind of it's own thinking of which kid it should disgust next? Later that…
people who work in white collar jobs need to arrive with that white collar looking fresh and crisp or they're in for some double takes and snickers. That's why so many people will go half-and-half on their commute by taking public transit, a subway or bus, into work and then riding their folding bike home. That way they get to work looking fresh and get a nice ride in on the way home. It's a great way to blow off steam and stay in shape when you don't have time for the gym. 2. The combo-deal...…

mad. As Cleo slipped on her shoes and started to tie the laces she thought about the bus. Her and Jem lived semi close to each other so they were on the same bus. She was dreading it. She would have to find someone else to sit with because before she always sat with Jem. She packed her backpack and debated whether or not to miss the bus on purpose and have her mom drive her to school in order to not see Jem on the bus. She decided to…
My first act of chivalry is one that I do not do very often. Last weekend, I was taking the bus to my house. The bus was very populous and every seat was taken. So after 10 minutes an elderly woman stepped on the bus with a lot of bags. When I saw the woman I knew I had to do the right thing and give my seat up for her. I then signaled her and called her over so she would know that this seat was hers. The woman came over and I said, “ it’s all yours ma'am.” The woman thanked me very much and I…
eight-day travel with the drama club. My mom was going along with me as well as my friend, Brittany, and her mother. We would visit Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Arizona. When I got to the school, we loaded our luggage on the bus and started off for the airport. As the bus pulled up to the airport, everyone bolted out of their seats. After the luggage had been unloaded, we made our way to check-in for our luggage registration. I walked away without my suitcase, feeling as if I forgot…
starting a new school especially one where Stacey and I would be the first colored kids to go there. I still thought about T.J in that horrible chain gang and what they would do to him. “Cassie you’d better get dressed the bus gonna be here soon,” said Stacey. The tall, yellow bus pulled at the side of the curb and the doors opened. Faces of disgust peered down at us through the slightly tinted window. Stacey took no notice of them and selected a seat for us in the front. After we sat down a…
