Okay okay no worries I'm fine let me explain Okay so first of all our bus got changed to 18-A for two weeks but nothing excited happened so whatever. Aaanyway let's get on with the big story So it was a day like any other and me and my friends were just waiting for the bus. The bus was taking WAY longer than usual so Clover texted her mom to come pick us up. Right as the text was sent our bus pulled up. It was a different bus and different driver and to this day I have no idea why we had a sub and why it was so late. Usually when there's a sub the school tells us before school ends! Why?? Okay so the bus shows up but me and Clover decide to just wait for Clover's mom instead because why not also this is good source material for another Buses story. Now before I explain what happened next I need to talk about what Clover had looked like that whole day. So at lunch I noticed that something was up with her mouth and we all just thought that it was because of the bands in her mouth. Than after school one of her eyes was wide open and kinda red from being open for so long and her mouth was only partially open. So basically the right side of her face her mouth was closed, her nose was somewhat wonky, and her eye was wide open. The nose was super unnoticeable so nobody pointed that out and we thought the mouth thing was because of the bands and the eye thing was her new antibiotics for her ear infection. I never really pointed anything out because saying "Hey Clover your face looks weird" can be considered quite offensive. Other people did though so what the heck other people! We did kinda ended up talking about it while waiting for Clover's mom just because I was genuinely worried. So Clover's mom arrives along with Blue (Her little sister) and Clover's mom freaks out at the sight of the face and immediately decided to go to the hospital. Okay now I was getting even more worried and we all just didn't know what was going on. Clover's mom offers to take me home first but I wanted to stay with Clover so I said no. Plus good source material. So we arrive at the hospital, Clover lies down, and then suddenly 5 or 6 doctors came rushing in like the world was about to explode. So rightfully everyone was freaking out except for me for some reason. My new anxiety pills must be too powerful! So yeah they run some tests and luckily she did not have a stroke but rather had Bell's Palsy which basically means that half of her face was paralyzed. It did not hurt at all but still that's kinda scary. So I called my Dad and resisted the urge to start with "Hey Dad I'm at the hospital" and instead just explained Clover's situation first. So while in the Hospital I was there being the best Emotional Support Friend I could be and also making jokes because if you're in the hospital it's always good to have a non-serious person around to make it more of a weird and funny story. They traced the source back to the ear infection and we left after Clover took the world's most disgusting pill. But yeah they drove me home and I had a new fun experience to tell my sisters! So this was Friday, which was a week and one day ago. On Monday and Tuesday Clover used this as a perfect opportunity to not go to school and I don't blame her at all. I probably would have done the same. So Clover is doing much better now and it's barely noticeable anymore. (Also can I just note that for the first few days she had to tape her eye shut at night?? I mean, that's reasonable I guess) But Clover went to visit her cousins and none of them noticed it till her dad just started pointing it out like "Hey everyone my daughter's face is weird!!" Bruh why. Anyway that was my story as an emotional support friend! It had barely anything to do with a Bus but it started out with a Bus so I'm counting it as Buses 3 anyway! Okay bye
