Every morning, I took the same school bus. Same driver. Same route. Same seat. But one morning, when I got on, the driver looked at me and said: “If you see someone sitting in your seat…” “…don’t talk to them.” I laughed. “Why?” He didn’t answer. ⸻ I got on and walked toward the back. Someone was sitting in my seat. It was a kid I’d never seen before. He was wearing an old-fashioned school uniform. I sat somewhere else. As the bus started moving, I noticed something strange. Nobody was talking. Nobody was on their phones. Everyone was staring straight ahead. ⸻ The kid in my seat slowly turned around. He looked at me. Then whispered: “You shouldn’t be on this bus.” I laughed nervously. “Why?” He looked toward the driver. Then whispered: “Because this bus already picked you up.” I didn’t understand. Then my phone buzzed. A text from my mom: “Why are you still at home?” I stared at the message. I typed: “I’m on the bus.” She replied: “No you’re not.” Then she sent me a picture. It was me. Standing in my bedroom. Still wearing my pajamas. ⸻ I looked around the bus. Everyone was still staring forward. The driver suddenly looked at me through the mirror. He said: “Don’t look at the other passengers.” I asked why. He didn’t answer. Then the kid in my seat grabbed my arm. He whispered: “Whatever happens, don’t let the bus stop.” The bus suddenly slowed down. I looked out the window. There was a bus stop. And someone was standing there. It was me. Wearing my school clothes. Waiting to get on. ⸻ The doors opened. The other version of me stepped onto the bus. He looked directly at me. Then smiled. The driver locked the doors. The kid beside me whispered: “That’s not you.” The driver suddenly slammed the gas pedal. We sped away. Then every passenger on the bus turned toward me at the exact same time. My phone buzzed. A school notification appeared: BUS 27 — ROUTE COMPLETE Then another: PASSENGER COUNT: 31 I counted the people on the bus. There were only 30. Then someone sitting behind me whispered: “Don’t turn around.” #fyp #viral #scary #scarystories #scarytiktoks - @midnight_nightmare_files
