Get on the Bus

MONDAY

(Caption: Monday, July in the morning)

(a 17 year old Harold goes on the computer and connects to the net which eventually goes to

the P.S. 118 chat room (since Mr. Simmons is still working at as a teacher) and uses his new

username Harold-Patty while the rest of the gang who

are now 13 year olds were there)

all of your parents and they said yes so all of you can come. I'll see ya at the party.
Gotta get prepared.

Nadine leaves the chat room

Arnold, Harold_Patty, Patty_Harold, Gerald, Phoebe, Rhonda leave the chat room

Helga Great. The momentum died.

Helga leaves the chat room

(5 hours and 50 minutes later, Patty changes from her trademark to something more casual
like an average white shirt and baggy jeans but her shoes stayed the same and started to run
to the bus stop since the bus will come in a few minutes but unfortunately when Patty
arrives at the bus stop, not only that the bus passed by her by accident but when the bus
passed by her, she was under a mud puddle, and it splashed all over her)

Patty: Damn. My clothes.

(BGM: Between Me and You by Ja Rule)

(Patty ran back home and took a quick shower and decided to go into her normal

clothes and ran as fast as she could to Nadine's house, back at the party, everyone was
partying away while Harold was waiting for Patty, all that changed when Rhonda came up to
Harold)

Rhonda: Hey Harold.

Harold: Hi Rhonda. How are you?

Rhonda: Fine. Can I talk to you for a moment?

Harold: Sure.

(Rhonda and Harold go inside her friend's bedroom)

Rhonda: I have to say something.

Harold: Shoot.

Rhonda: I like you and I'm just wondering, do you like me too?

Harold: I don't know what you're talking about; if you're asking me if I like you, I'm

already dating Patty and I love her...

(Rhonda kisses him passionately and stops but when Harold was about to return

the favor, he stops when Nadine opens the door when she was surprised of what

she seen and along the way Harold leaves Rhonda)

Nadine: Did I just saw what I just saw Harold?

Harold: I didn't kiss her back.

(Rhonda starts to cry in Nadine's bed and Nadine leaves her alone, Harold leaves and was
going to leave the party but when he opens the door, Patty opens it from the outside)

Harold: What happened to you?

Patty: My clothes got dirty so I changed my clothes and ran as fast as I could to the party.
Are you upset?

Harold: No, not at all, my princess.

Patty: Whew. Can I sit down for a minute, I feel tired. It took me 20 minutes to get here.

Harold: (giving her a seat) Sure.

Patty: Thanks.

Harold: Just get some rest.

(Patty sits as she yawns and everything rewinds backwards all the way where Patty was at the
bus stop. And a kid was walking the sidewalk and the bus skids the road and almost ran over
the kid, but eventually the kid was alive. As the driver feels guilty about this, Patty gets
on the bus and puts in her change and rode the bus all the way to Nadine's house which takes
only 10 minutes to get to, back at the party, Rhonda goes up to Harold)

Rhonda: Hey Harold.

Harold: Hi Rhonda. How are you?

Rhonda: Fine. Can I talk to you for a moment?

Harold: Sure.

(Rhonda and Harold go inside her friend's bedroom)

Rhonda: I have to say something.

Harold: Shoot.

Rhonda: I like you and I'm just wondering, do you like me too?

Harold: I don't know what you're talking about; if you're asking me if I like you, I'm

already dating Patty and I love her...

(Meanwhile back at the party, Patty goes inside Nadine's house)

Nadine: Hi Patty. Nice clothes you got on.

Patty: I've decided to change my clothes for once. Have you seen Harold by the way?

Nadine: I have no idea.

Patty: Don't worry, I'll find him.

(Nadine leaves her alone and Patty finds Harold, meanwhile back at Nadine's bedroom)

Rhonda: If you're wondering why I was treating you like crap for the past 4 years

because my reputation was on the line and it really messed me up inside real bad, but now
I'm 4 years older and I don't give a damn about my reputation.

Harold: But you don't understand, I love Patty, and we've been together for the past 4
years, and I don't...

(Rhonda kisses him passionately)

Patty: (O.S.) I think he should be here.

(When Harold was about to return the favor, he stops when Patty opens the door; she had a
surprised look on her face and has tears in her eyes)

Harold and Rhonda: Patty??

Harold: Wait a minute, I can explain.

(Patty goes up to them and slaps Rhonda in the face and kicks Harold in the nuts and fall
onto his knees and she leaves the room crying)

Rhonda: (touching her face) Damn.

Harold: NICE GOING RHONDA! Wait Patty!

(Harold leaves the room, meanwhile back at the party, Patty was crying face down on the
table and someone catches her attention, it was Harold)

Harold: Wake up, Patty.

(Patty was back in her trademark clothes like it was sort of a dream)

Patty: Sorry about that, I just got a little sleepy, that's all.

Harold: Are you OK, my princess?

Patty: Of course I am Harold. Let's go dance.

Harold: Good idea. Can I give you something before we go dance?

Patty: Sure.

Harold: (gives Patty the key to his room) This gift proves you could come in anytime, my
princess.

Patty: Aw thanks, Harold.

(she kisses Harold innocently and they go inside the party and danced the night away and
back at the table, Patty stopped crying and went back home, but unfortunately Harold found
her but it was too late, she already left)
