Life as a Nergo
Chapter 1
The cold winter wind blew past my face. I stood at the bus stop waiting for any bus to come by. A bus pulled up and I stepped on it. "Good morning Elsie." Mr. Jonnah greeted me. "Mornin' Mr.Jonnah!" I whispered. I sat in my seat near the back of the bus. A little african american boy stepped on. "Im sorry son, this is a white only bus." Mr. Jonnah said. I rolled my eyes and waved at him. "That girl back there, she knows me." He stuttered. "Who? Elsie?" He asked. I nodded and he nodded. "Well, any friend of Elsie's is allowed on this bus!" He yelled. He walked back toward me and sat.
We pulled up to farmer's market and I got off. "Thank you Mr. Jonnah!" I said while I stepped off. The boy stepped off with me. "Thank you...Elsie is it?" He asked. I nodded. "James." He said. I put a thumb up and walked away.
The farmer's market was pretty boring, so I waited for another bus. Sure enough James was there too. He ran up to me. "Hey Elsie." He panted. I waved and took out my cell phone. He looked at it. "What is it?" He asked. "A cell phone?" I replied. His black hands touched my phone and I pulled it away. The bus pulled up and I stepped on. "Elsie who is this?" Karla asked as I sat down. "Oh, hes my friend James." James nodded and looked back out the window. A white man stepped on. "Im sorry sir, black only." Karla said. The man hit Karla and walked to the back. Karla got up and walked toward him. "Now sir, you have your 'white only' buses, and we have our black only!" Karla yelled. The man pushed Karla to the back of the bus. He tried to touch her woman parts. I stood up. " Sir! You need to step off this bus right this minute, before I call the police!" I screamed. I took out my cell phone. He looked at it, and ripped it out of my hands. He pushed me toward the back. "You black people have no right to live." He mumbled in my ear. I kicked his shin. He looked me hard and then pulled out a knife.
