The Bus Stop

The Bus Stop

At the bus stop,
The driver didn’t have available seats in the front, so we decided to look for another bus.
The drivers kept sending us back and forth between one another, and one of them was unnecessarily rude.
“I won’t let you get on any bus!” he told us.
One of the teachers that was with me told him that he was being rude.
To which he replied,
“I could strip you naked just to prove to you that I’m a man.”
“If you had a man with you, he would’ve tamed you!”

I got the driver’s license plate and filed a report against him the following day.
I wrote down everything that happened in the report.
He visited me at school the following week, and his mother apologised to the administration.
Honestly, I was happy to hear from him what happened to him in the police station.
I was proud of myself.
They think they can walk all over us,
But that’s not true.
