To set the scene, imagine a bus, lots of kids on it. Now there are four main characters in today's story, a boy, about 6th grade, a girl, about 11th grade, myself, and my friend.

On the bus today, we were on our way home when I heard 6th grader was apparently crying. I felt bad for him, but didn't want to pull attention to myself and stayed out of it. Then I heard 11th grader shout that it was because his dog had died. I know firsthand what it feels like to have a dog die and I felt sympathetic towards the boy, until 11th grader began to make fun of him. She would say things like "How'd your dog die", and "I can't wait to go and see my dog, running around and playing, not covered in dirt." and I felt sick and angry with her. But again, I did not engage. She then turned to 6th grader's older brother and asked if he had bad-worded it to death, and began to claim that he had done so and that he was coming after other dogs and such. She kept doing this for nearly the whole bus ride until the bus driver went back there and yelled at her to stop making a fool of herself.

While the bus driver was doing this, my friend was recording what he was saying ONLY. Well 11th grader noticed and called him out, but the bus driver didn't do anything, so she proceeded to CALL the bus company and spew lies! She said things like "she's made sexual comments to the younger kids" and "she's been bullying others" and I got pissed. But I chose to ignore and pull my friend's mind to a drawing I was making so he wouldn't get upset. Well that was a bit of a mistakes because now I'M part of the conversation. Now I'M talking about bad-word with another guy in 6th grade and wanting to have kids and blah blah blah. I will tell you I never did. I was aesthetically attracted to a friend I had and didn't know any better, and we 'dated' and talked about CARS. What kinds of CARS we would own. We never discussed anything bad, yes, we could have said like 'I want two kids' but that went NO farther!

I'm aroace and the implication that I would WANT that makes me sick! I didn't know anything in 6th grade! Who does? Aren't ALL 6th graders idiots? When I said that she claimed she "Made slime and stress toys and sold them" but there ain't no way she was doing that because I would have known. She was friends with my bff at that time and I would've been told because in 6th grade I was OBSESSED with slime.

People, be respectful. If someone has lost a dog or car or fish, or whatever pet, or even friends and family, don't make fun of them, and don't act like a jerk.
