Todau started out like any other school day. I rode the bus, was scared sensless during latin, laughed during lunch with my friends.
It was a normal day!
Until i got on the bus. I looked at the numbers in the front window of the buses. The bus changes everyday, so when i looked into an open bus and spotted 3C on the inside, i hopped on the bus and started reading. After a while, i got sick and i looked up.
Oh..my..god.
It dawned on me that i was on the WRONG bus. i looked at the signs and nearly wet myself.
I had no idea were in the world i was.
The only name i recognized was "Kowloon" and that was not good. Kowloon was the OTHER side. Panic gripped me fiercly an refused to let go. IN OUT IN OUT INOUTINOUT.. i looked around wildly.
How could i have been SO stupid? Oh yeah. I am usually stupid.' Ok Mira' i thought ' now this IS a pickle.. You should wait until the END of the route and then tell the driver to take me back to school. So the driver drove. And drove. I looked at the clock anxiously. 2:58..2:59..3:00.. My panic crept up a notch as the last two people got off the bus and i rose to talk to the driver. He looked at me expectantly. Tears that kept on wellong in my eyes finally spilled. " im on the wrong bus" i said in a shaky voice " i live in P*rk****. he looked plain irritated. " ai yaaa" he shrieked " i cannot take you to parkview! To far! I have other job!" i cried harder " take me back to school, please!" my tears pushed him over the edge. " oh. Aiii" he sighed. I stumbled back to my seat, still crying fiercly. My fear would not subside. When we climbed the hill, i was hit with joy when i realized my school was a few blocks away i pulled up my bag and when the bus screeched to a stop, i ran forward. I thanked the driver and got out, relieved at last. But my relief was short-lived as i realized the gates were closed. Then i spotted the staircase. I ran down and into school, flying up the steps until i reached Vie Scolaire. When i burst imto the room i was greeted with a surprised chorus of "Mira!" they asked me what happened and i promptly burst into tears..
I made it home for all of those wondering. My experience was pretty scarring but its totally real!
Love,
Mira XXX
