& our friendship is forever!
My friend to me he add an encounter with a ghost on Bus 854,he swore it was true................well it happen lyk tis........
It was a cold,wet morning,the kind which is perfect for sleeping in.
But,of cos,I had 2 go 2 school.
I stumbled onto Bus 854 in hougang and plonked myself next to a wispy white-haired old lady.she gave me a smile,unusually cheerful for tis time of the morning.
I returned her gesture of goodwill and promptly went to slp,dozing off beside her with music playing in my ear phones.
As the bus rumbled on,the passenger crowd started to build up.I was rudely awakened by a few vicious pokes from an umbrella,and opened my eyes to see a middle-aged lady glaring at me.‘’Boy,can move in or not?ppl want to sit down,you know?’’
I stared at her,slightly dazed.turning my head to the left,I saw the old lady peacefully sitting beside me looking out the window,completely unaware of her surroundings.
I looked back at the umbrella-poker with a curious expression on my face.Couldn’t she see the old lady sitting beside me?Was she mad?
The bus was getting packed and commuters were jostling to get in and find a spot to settle in.the middle-aged lady looked puzzled and her eyes flickered to the seat besaide me.Her glance passed right through the old women beside me.‘’No one sitting next to you,wat....... move in leh.’’
The old lady turned,looked firectly into my eyes,and smiled again.
I didnt smile back as i was confused.then the umbrella-poker,losing patience,just made her way past me and plonked herself right on to the old woman’s lap.
'
''Wait!’’I screamed.I thought she would crush the old woman’s bones.
I turned to my left and saw that only the middle-aged lady was sitting next to me now.
She said brusquely,’’I tink u hav 2 go 2 Wood bridge 4 a check up.’’
I looked all around the bus but the old lady had vanished into thin air.
The old lady wasn’t scary or anyting.in fact she seemed benevolent and kind.
She jux left me feeling rather sheepish as my loud scream made many passengers look curiously in my direction.
I guess i should hav stayed in bed after all.
