No, no, no... I am going to be late.

Why am I late? It's already 7:00 a.m. I am going to be late. "Ha superb", My bus will be at the stop at sharp, maybe not so sharp. Still, it will be there at 7:30 a.m. I have not had my breakfast. I need to take a quick bath and pack my lunch. superb!, I am going to miss my bus because I played too much on my phone early in the morning. After all this, I need to take a 3-kilometer ride to the bus stop.

The last thing to happen today should be me missing my bus. Yay! Not going to college for a day might not be such of a big deal, but it can be a disaster at my home, Am I still free to thing about this ? No. Wow my mom has started her singing -not the songs from the album, but her lecture on me being late. Run ash run.. run with all your life.

va, It's already 7:25 and I am still at home. Having food was a race against the minute hand of the clock. Oh, my mom is already on her bike ready to give me a ride. She is screaming that if I don't come out now ,she will leave alone .I am not able to understand, the whole reason she is ready to leave is to drop me and now she is shouting that she will not wait for me. What's her logic? I am unable to understand her.

Jumping on the bike My first shout like always would be "Ride as fast as you can mom we are late its already 7:30"

With her super skill and speed, we reached our destination at 7:35, and no one's here. So, I suppose the first to arrive today was me. Have I not told you yet? I am never late to the bus stop, it's just that I think I will be late. I don't know how I am able to think like that every day. That's why all the clocks at my home are 5 minutes fast, and knowing this too well, I am still rushing in the morning. Am I an idiot? Maybe I am

BUS STOP

now being the first person to be in the bus top waiting for the college bus ,

there are a lot more people in the stop waiting for public bus .since its a private bus stop ,I can't complete say its a bus stop for public more like a place were bus-stop that would be more accurate. There are a lot of people her waiting for their bus here but still I am the first one for the college bus

Now, since it's Monday, including me there are a total of 7 people who are taking the same bus. For a college bus, it's a large number. Still, every day I am the first to reach the stop. Yeah, I know you would be thinking if you are first every day, how are you late? It's just my thought that I am late, but I am not late for my bus. That's why I do wonder what I am thinking while rushing in the morning. Now, my next duty could be waiting for the others to join in. Being late is a talent; I do wonder when I will master it.

The next one to join the team would be a junior and the teacher with whom I don't have much of a responsibility, so I just scroll through my phone. Moving on, my senior sister, she stays in the hostel and only comes on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons. Even though we are in different branches, both of us have a junior-senior relationship and we have small talks. As the clock ticks, the next one should be the senior brother. He is on time, I suppose; neither too late nor too early.

As I continue my wait for the bus, I would get a call from my classmate enquiring about the arrival of the bus. Being the closest one to the bus stop, he is the last one to arrive, but compared to the seventh, he is still better. Now, the last member would not be last since he would be joining from the next stop after missing this stop. I do wonder sometimes why he is paying the fee from this stop when he enters only after the stop.

Yes, everyone, starting from my senior sister to the last one, has missed their bus at least once. No matter what, no matter whoever misses the bus, their next action would be calling me so I could stop the bus for them. So when I reach the stop, my first job for the day would be to ensure that everyone has reached the stop. And if not, calling them to ensure if they are coming, which would always be a yes. I would end up telling the bus driver to wait. At least the driver is kind enough to wait for them.

Thinking about this made the time go fast. Oh, I suppose I'm in luck today; everyone has reached, and the college bus is here too. And here comes the last member of the team, still late as always, ha.

Inside the bus, the first job would be locating my friend, and it's an easy task since she has been sitting in the same spot for the whole year. It's time for me to have a long sleep until we reach the college. It's a long ride, but it's fun because I am able to sleep.

Most of the people are sleeping in the bus, even my friend is in deep sleep. Because of this, if you try to contact someone in the bus, it could be impossible since everyone is sleeping. But still, it's good and nice. I suppose since it's Monday, it's going to be hectic since there could be more students who went home returning. But since I got my seat, it's not a problem that I should be worried about.

GOOD MORNING............
