Taking the wrong bus in error – by Henry Hong Seok Min, Year 7, ELC International School
It
was a gloomy day. I felt kind of depressed when I woke up at five o’clock in
the morning and looked out of the window. I looked in the mirror on the bedside
table and saw that my face looked horrible. Before I slept, I hadn’t dried my
hair properly so now, it was all standing up. I looked kind of funny. I took my first step out of bed. I felt so
tired. I walked very slowly to the toilet, took my toothpaste and brushed my
teeth. I put my clothes on slowly and walked out of my house.
I
felt a breeze on my face and I could hear birds chirping and cars’ engines
roaring. As usual, the shops were open and people were walking around. I walked
to the bus stop. I saw many people waiting for the bus. I must have waited for
about five minutes. Then the clouds started to disappear. A small ray of
sunshine brightened my face. I was starting to feel better than I did when I
first woke up. The bus came. It looked very unusual. The bus was very big and
it was rainbow coloured. I took a seat which had a pink cushion on it. After a
few minutes, I looked out of the window. The place outside looked very
unfamiliar. So, I asked the driver the number of the bus. He said it was 221.
Suddenly, I felt terribly depressed. This bus was going to the airport! The
driver said he couldn’t stop the bus as we were on the motorway.
When
I was going to call the work manager, I realised that I had left my phone at
home! I borrowed the bus driver’s phone and called my manager. When I told him
what had happened, I was so nervous that I nearly vomited. Luckily, the manager
was very understanding. I felt so relieved that my legs were shaking and I
almost fainted. In a relief, I sat on my seat. I heard classical music playing.
The bus driver had switched the radio on. I could hear violins, cellos, double
bases and violas. My eyes started to close. When I opened them and looked out
of the window, I could see the airport.
The
driver said that he had completed his shift and would drop me off at my
workplace on his way back to town. When the bus stopped at my workplace, I
thanked him and alighted. However, the place looked very suspicious. There
should have been a shop beside my office but there was a clinic instead. When I
ran into my office building, I saw that the people who came in and out looked
different. I asked one of them the name of the building. Unfortunately, the
building was KB Building and my building was BK Building. I’d given the bus
driver the wrong direction.
I
walked very slowly in despair. I felt like tears were about to burst from my
eyes. I found a public phone. So, I called my manager. He shouted at me asking
me if I was stupid. I apologised and cried. The sun started to disappear and
clouds started to appear. Then, tiny droplets of water started to fall from the
sky. The water was cold and heavy. I sat at the bus stop and waited from bus
212.
