My Trip to School Every morning, I take the bus to school. First I

must walk five minutes to the bus stop in the end of my street. I am not lonely because I often walk with my friend Harriet. We talk about school and friends. We walk in the sidewalk so it is a very safe walk and my parents do not worry. Then we wait on the bus stop. Sometimes the bus is late and we have time to have some fun chatting and playing jokes together. Then the bus comes and we sit at our bus seats. We sit at the same seats every day. Harriet and me like to be at the first seat because we can pretend we drive the bus. When we arrive in the school, we get off the bus and line up with our class. We wait for the teacher to come and then we go into the school. Then the school day starts.
