The cool seat

The back seat of the bus has thrilled many students of many ages. Why? It is bouncy, and..... and well.... I don't know. I guess it just represents "coolness." In elementary school the back seat of the bus was for the "cool kids" who were usually the class clowns and athletic-ish people. In junior high the "cool kids" at the back were the rising jocks, cheerleaders, and some jazz band kids. Sitting at the back was prohibited unless you fit one of these categories. Today, L. and I broke this norm. Though we are not "cool" we sat in the back of the bus. The traditional backseaters walked toward the back, took one look at us, and sat at the front instead. L. and I had a nice bouncy ride and enjoyed the sensation of being cool without all of the side effects.
