Sherman and James are the life of our lovely yellow ride. They're the ones that keep us laughing, in suspense, waiting to see what our bus driver, Yance, does next. Every day, the eighth graders lead our bus in it's most rambunctious, hyper, and evil acts against cars, roads, little kids and their parents along with teenagers and whoever else we can get. The bus for my neighborhood has gone down as the worst bus to be driven by the driver for our school.
James decided that it would be fun to throw things out the window on the highway and at other cars. We thought it would be funny and entertaining to pass the time as we rode. James threw a book out the window and it hit another car, and the book was hardcover. Everybody let out a roar of laughter until the bus driver came over the speaker yelling, "All of you have a warning! Don't throw things out the window or support it!" We hid behind seats and laughed softly, muffling them in our sweaters. Sherman lifted up his tennis ball and chucked it at another car's driver seat window, but instead of hitting a window, it went in the car. An elderly man turned bright red, yelling at Sherman while everybody laughed at the afraid teenager being yelled at by some old man.
It got even better. There was a projectile fight on the bus. Everybody was pulling out pencils, books, erasers, whatever they could chuck at someone else's head. Sherman ducked and a water bottle flew out the window onto the dashboard of an old red pickup. The people in the pickup were furious. They were swearing and turning bright red while everybody laughed and started screaming out the window at them.
Finally, we got to our first stop where the real charades began. James pulled off his watch and chucked it as hard as he could at some woman's Mercedes. It landed with a loud crack and slid across the windshield of the grey car. The woman immediately jumped out of her car and started chasing our bus, swearing and screaming for Yance to stop. She got on the bus and started screaming at the bus driver, who simply responded by saying, "Point out the kid who did it." She immediately pointed at James and said, "Him! Right there!" When James shook his head, she pointed at him, started shaking her head. Everyone laughed at the boy who looked like he was going to wet his pants, and the lady responded by saying, "I'm calling the police!" The police were soon on the bus and James was getting a lecture about throwing things out the window. Everyone laughed at James and started screaming at him, "Look what you did! You done got the cops called on us!" And James started to tear up.
.As entertaining as this sounds, having the police lecture you about throwing things out the window is NOT a good way to entertain yourself. I'm quite sure that this is against the law, so please, DO NOT attempt it. I'm not promoting this, I'm just sharing about how idiotic Montbello kids can be. Punishments for this act are very hefty fines, since it can be considered littering. If you throw something out a window, it's basically going the same speed that the car it came out of was going, and could easily kill a small child if it happened to hit them and was big enough. Throwing things out the window is against the law because it's littering, but throwing it at someone deliberately could be counted as assault, and you could be arrested. Fines can be up to $500 in some areas. I warn you again, do NOT behave in such a manner that suggests your parents didn't give you proper home training, you don't have common sense, or a deadly combination of the two. Punishments your school or bus driver may go through with are:
*Not being able to ride the bus to and from school anymore.
*Suspension
*A lovely call to the police and your parents.
*A parent, teacher, student conference to discuss a nice way to solve your issues.
*A very horrible combination of the three.
A series of punishments James' mother came up with for her son was:
*Run around the neighborhood to the police station with a sign around his neck that says, "I endanger the lives of other people for my own cheap amusement."
*Give up allowance for 3 months
*Grounded for 4 months
*In school suspension
Punishments my mom came up with for me:
*Grounded for a month
*No football and basketball (Huge one for me, I'm a huge athlete.)
*No allowance for two weeks.
*No cell phone for a weekend.
*No iPod for a weekend.
*No TV or video games for a week.
Do any of these punishments appeal to you? No? Good, because they don't appeal to me either. Consider this a warning, don't be stupid and throw objects from windows. You can severely hurt someone, maybe even kill someone. Don't harass people through windows, either. It may come back and bite you in the butt when someone like a gang member ends up with a gun in hand.
