As soon as the bell rang, I hurriedly packed my bag before leaving the classroom. I just got a message from the manager to come early today, so I needed to hurry.
By the time I arrived at the bus station, I hopped on the first bus and sat on the available seat nearest to the door. This was to ensure the fastest access should I need to dash out. I glanced at the time on my phone. If there was no accident, I'd make it in 15 minutes.
Gazing outside the window, the sky was dark with a rumbling sound. It looked like it was going to rain. Thank goodness I had my umbrella inside my bag.
I was going to take a quick nap when an old lady came inside the bus. By now, the bus was already crowded. I glanced around, but no one showed any intention to give the old lady their seat, so I took the initiative.
"Excuse me, Ma'am. Please take a seat here."
The old lady looked tired, but her face softened as she thanked me. "Thank you, young lady. I am sorry you have to stand on the crowded bus."
