Boarding The Bus By Himself
The bell rang at 3:15, signaling that it was time to go home. Students chatted excitedly and pushed and shoved out the classrooms, eager to be released. Dale quietly hung back and waited for the rush to pass before stepping outside. At the entrance, he saw the big yellow bus waiting for him. Riding the bus by himself was a little scary for the 7-year-old, but his mom had gone through it with him before he left that morning, so he got on.
