Mr. Hogis entered the spacious office and looked at Mr. Teech sitting at his desk. Mr. Teech directed Mr. Hogis to sit in the chair in front of his desk. He said: “The reason I’m so late is because some of the kids were not ready when I reached their houses, so I had to wait for them. Vanessa’s parents damn near had to carry her on the bus while she was screaming and cursing at them. Then there was commotion on the bus. James was teasing Jomo because of the way he talks and because he wasn’t wearing any shoes. They started fighting, so I pulled the bus over and broke up the fight. Then I used the seatbelts to lock them in their seats. Aaron was my last stop at the homeless shelter, so I had to deal with that heavy downtown traffic. When I’m leaving the downtown area I had the radio playing because I thought the music would calm the children of the corn down. I was wrong. I heard some hoopin’ and hollering. Through the rearview mirror, I saw Angie dancing’ up and down the center of the bus like a miniaturized stripper, She was getting close to the boys in a sexual teasing’ way,” I shout to Angie, “stop that dancin’ and sit down”! The girl ignored me and kept on dancin’. I pulled the bus over again and I put Angie in her seat and locked her seatbelt. Before I could make it back to my seat, Anthony jumped up out His seat and said to Shundra, “Hey, Red, why don’t you dance for us so we can see what you worken’ with.” Then I said, “This bus is not moving until everyone is seated.
Shundra stood up in the center of the aisle, looked at Anthony and put her hands on her hips and said, “Why don’t you come close to me, so you can see and feel what I’m worken’ with?” Anthony started towards Shundra with a big grin on his face. So, I get up from my seat again to put Anthony and Shundra in their seats. But, before I could reach them, Anthony got into arm distance of Shundra and, like a western gunfighter, Shundra hands came from her hips fast and smooth, hitting Anthony in the face with a combination that put him on his ass, Shundra looked down at Anthony and said, “Boy, that’s what I workin’ with!”
Anthony leapt up off the floor and I grabbed him before he could get to Shundra. He started kickin’ and hollering, “Let me go! So I can beat that bitch’s ass! Shundra put up her fist like a world class boxer, looked me in my eyes and calmly said, “Mr. Busdriver, let that skinny ass buster go, so I can show him who’s really the bitch. Shundra is my name and kickin ass is my game.”
