Of course today was the day! The day she had been 

dreading for weeks. She was going to go on her first 

bus. Most kids were full of excitement to see each-other 

again after a long summer, but she was just filled with 

nervousness.

She had never really interacted with kids her age 

before. She was scared about how they would judge 

her. She wanted new friends and she was tired of being 

lonely. When she got on the bus she immediately sat 

down in the seat that was empty and started reading 

her book. It was louder than she expected so she just 

ignored them and kept minding her

own buisness.

As she got off the bus something so unexpected 

happened that it left her in shock. SHE HAD MET A BOY! 

She was walking off the bus when all of a sudden

a boy named Jacob introduced 

himself. He said that Ruben, my

"Friend", had told him about me.

I was so happy! He was sweet

and witty and smart!

So day after day Taylor and Jacob hanged out more 

often so of course they became better friends. She also 

had met some other friends. Everyday she would see 

them on the bus then if she had time Taylor would play 

with them later in the afternoon also.

As they got to know each-other better and better she 

started to realize how much they had in common. So she 

started hanging out with him more than most of her 

other friends. It made her neighbor Nate jealous. Nate 

and Jacob never really got along because Jacob has a 

little brother Josh. Josh would come over talking about 

how mean his older brother was and how he was the 

worst brother ever. Then when Jacob came to pick up 

Josh he was always a little moody because he really 

didn't want to be babysitting his brother, who could not 

keep track of time. As a result of this when he came to 

the door he sounded really mean. So when Taylor first 

met him on the bus she was a little hesitant about having 

him be my friend. When she first met him for real she 

looked past all the mean things his little brother said and 

saw a sweet, kind, and smart boy. They were the best of 

friends.

Even though school is over for the summer they will never 

stop having fun and hanging out. She will never forget her 

first time going to a public school, the first time she met 

Jacob, and the first time she went   on a school bus. They 

will forever be great friends, but if she had never gotten on 

the bus then she never would have met Jacob. Whenever 

something unexpected, new, or scary is thrown your way 

take a chance because sometimes if you don't you might 

regret it when you are older. I know that this is, for most 

people, not a very big challenge, but imagine that you had 

never really interacted with kids your age before and was 

thrown in with them and forced to fend for yourself. She 

had no idea how they dressed, acted, or talked. She was 

not only scared because She was doing all of this for the 

first time but also because others had been telling me 

stories of bad experiences on the bus.
