Got on the bus this morning. Full of school kids, every seat taken, one kid to a seat, bags beside them, or legs out stretched, people standing. fought my way to the stairs, staggered up, same again, every seat taken by one child, bags beside them.

I sit beside a kid, he grunts and moves his bag reluctantly.

so why are these kids afraid of being seen sitting beside their mates?

it's so anoying.
