Story Machine

The birds were chirping, the sun beamed into Rosedale HIgh. The kids burst into the red large doors, eyes darting back and forth looking for familiar faces, the slamming of lockers sang in unison. Each person in their own world , some singing, shouting and yelling until Janitor Eddie showed up. They all froze and Eddie got straight to work. He began to mop the foor but it was hard to do with the millions of feet in front of him. "Excuse Me" Eddie said "I'm going to need you all to move." The kids stayed frozen no one listening to him or paying attention. "HEllO Kids I'm going to need you to move ! " "Please, please move." Eddie whimpered. Excuse me sir he hears an elderly voice say, he then felt a bludgeon
in his shoulder.
Eddie then woke up to see an old wrinkled man standing in front of him.” Please move, sir" your blocking my seat, the man asked him. Eddie scooted to the other side of the seat, quickly feeling bad because of the multiple eyes that shot him dirty looks. "Why do I always have to move, when people ask them to but they could never move for me he thought. A young man the stepped on to the bus and stood over Eddie eating a mc chicken. The remnants of the mc chicken fell onto the floor and Eddie had the urge to pick it up. The young man then took a napkin out of his pocket, which fell directly on to the floor.
“Excuse me man, can you get that for me?” the boy asked,
“No get it your self!” Eddie whimpered.
The young man looked wide-eyed at Eddie , while moving as further away as he could from his rage. Eddie folded his arms, annoyed. Little did he know what awaited him next.

A young woman of about her mid twenties came on the bus with her two children. The kids ran straight to towards the area where he was sitting, while their mother dug in her coin purse for change. The kids resisted holding on to the pole, screaming “WOOAHHH” “I’m falling” sliding back and forth while the bus was in motion. Eddie felt as if it was his duty to tell them to stop. “Kids , hold on and bequiet!” he said. Next thing you know an angry lioness was on her way to defend her cubs. “Look Mr. you better not be yelling at my children!” Eddie had no response to this, and once again felt stepped over.
“I don’t know why nobody appreciates or listen to me,” he said sniffling.
“I’m tired of it’’. He then kicked open the emergency exit and threw himself out the window. Poor Eddie.
