Germs and the Bus

Chelsey, you would have been especially disgusted with my last bus experience.  I was headed over to the other side of the island after school one day to visit Dustin and I was really tired.  When the bus finally came around I was a little disappointed to see that i was going to have to stand the whole time because it was so crowded.  I was standing right by this kid who was probably 14 or 15, had on a dirty white tank top and didn't look very friendly.  I didn't think to much about it but i couldn't help watch him as he sat there.  There was a girl that was sitting near him, not next to him, but one seat over from him.  And he kept trying to talk to her.  I thought they new each other, because they kept making eyes at each other and he eventually put his arm around her.  Then i saw him do something that almost made me throw up.  He picked a scab on his arm until it bled, and then he actually wiped the blood with his finger and then wiped it on the hand railing.  I instantly felt sick to my stomach.   He did this a few times until he got distracted by this girl again.  When she finally got off the bus, turns out they didn't know each other before this bus ride, anyways when she did get off the bus he started entertaining himself by blowing spit bubbles.  I don't know if i can ride the bus for a while.  I felt sick for a long time.  I got of the bus and felt like i should shower.  it was the worst hour i have had in a very long time.  I think you probably would have said something to him.  I wish you had been there.
