"Honey it’s time for school!”, Mom exclaimed. “Coming down mom”, says little Jeremy as he hurls down the stairs running towards the door and to the lawn. Jeremy signs a flying kiss as he gets on to the bus numbered 1011 and heads for his school. Today is the last day of school as winter vacations start the next day.

Little did the 8 year old Jeremy know that it would turn out to be the bus ride he would never forget. Shortly after, the driver of the bus starts taking a different route to the school. The senior students exclaimed and started shouting as the driver took them completely in a different route. After about half an hour, the driver took them deep into a forest and stopped near an old metal bridge which once was used by the railroad company.
Little Jeremy, completely unaware of his surroundings, proceeded making paper origami in the last seat of the bus. The driver locks the doors of the bus, takes out his pocket knife, jumps from his seat and threatens everyone to keep their windows shut and to strap themselves on the seat. With that settled, the driver jumps into his seat, and drives as fast as possible, hurling towards the metal bridge as he then plunges the bus straight into a shallow gorge. Jeremy flying in the bus crashes out of the window, flying down as he shouts “MOOOOOM!!!!”.
Jeremy wakes up with a heavy breathing and a sharp pain on his head as his mom calms him down, “It is just a bad dream, sweetheart!. You fell down the bed, it is just a small cut.”. As he goes back to sleep, he is shaken by the alarm. Snoozing it, he realizes he is late for school again. He reads the time and date on his phone and realizes he is now 15 years old.
Fin.
