The Know

   I sat there staring out the window like everyone else did now days... completly silent. I remember the days when the school bus would be exploding with the howling of laughter of my peers. I always hated it... but now I long for the loud and obnoxious ones. Back then I was the silent weird one who everybody feared... I never understood then why people would fear me. People are afraid of things they don't know or in my case understand. Now I realise, mabey its better not to know or understand, because knowing can cause just as much fear. Knowing caused this silence, understanding caused this fear, and this fear causes the insanity of the world I live in today.

   I sit in my seat completly still, listening to the kids breathing around me. I turned my head to look at my shoes, waiting for the bus engine to start. I focused on them as hard as I can trying to avoid reality, bright blue converse with the laces tucked out of sight. Sudenly a feeling of regret throbed through my mind... I should have enjoyed life while I had the chance. I never joined the laughter on the bus back then... NO! I shouldn't regret it, I never joined in on that laughter because it was the crewl laughter of gossip and drama. I remain staring at my shoes, thinking about why I felt this way. People have to act as there own psychologist now days, because if they don't they snap and literally go insane. I have witnessed it. People aren't as forgiving when it comes to insanity today, when one snaps its like a chain reaction. Mabey I felt this regret because I feel as though I didin't get the chance...the opportunity to enjoy life like generations before me had.

   I remain looking at my shoes. AHHH! I look up and scan my surroundings to see who produced the scream. It was a girl named Bella, she stood up with her fist in her mouth as tears streamed down her face. She began jumping up and down. I knew exactly what was happening, she was having an EMB. Extreme Mental Breakdown. I rose to my feet and ran towords her at the back of the bus. My black trench coat floating behind me. I grabbed her by the arm spun her around and covered her mouth with my hand. Then I dove into the nearest empty seat pulling her in with me. Luckily the driver wasn't on the bus to witness it, and no one else snapped.

   You have to worry about everyone, when it comes to people going insane. Some will snap and beat the other person untill they stop crying. Once a girl named Jane had an EMB right in front of the 11th grade teacher and the teacher tweaked. After Jane got out of the back room with the teacher, she never spoke again. Not that anyone spoke much anymore. Sometimes people aren't insane when they attack another person, sometimes it is to protect the other people from going insane too. When one person has an EMB caused by the stress of knowing, it causes more stress on the people around them and they snap too. This would cause chaos, which is not what we want. This is also why people continue to go on with there lives, jobs, normal activities... to avoid what they know is to come... the end of everything as we know it... THE WORLD.
