So this week I've been getting in a little extra exercise.
I have been chasing my friend Sam's bus, bus 130, as it leaves school.
It started out as a joke between me and Sam. But today I think it might be something more.
On every other day I've been chasing it, someone chased it with me. Today however, I was alone.
I stood outside the bus waiting for it to leave. I keep hearing cheers and people were raising their hands which gave me the impression bus 130 was different from my old bus 22-11.* When it finally got going I walked along side it. The bus sped up and I jogged with it.
Suddenly it stopped.
I was used to this. It takes the bus awhile sometimes to pull out of the lane and onto the street.
It started again. I followed.
The bus stopped. I stopped.
The bus speeds up and I'm running to catch up as soon as I do, the bus stops again.
I look over and see the bus driver laughing. All the kids are watching me through the window. My little joke with Sam has gained some attention.
The bus speeds up for the final time and I run with it till it reaches the stoplight. Of course, the light was red so I got to stand there as a bus full of kids cheered me on and waved. A few of them even knew my name it seems because as the light turned green they called it out as they passed.
I wonder what they'll think when I do it again on Monday.
*That actually didn't surprise me. Bus 22-11 was pretty crazy. But that's another post...
