This hundred-word story, The Blunder, has the proper formatting and might better be categorized as a happy accident, or serendipity. Tony meets Lily on the girl's school bus.

Comment from tempeste
Ciao!
Yes girls love bad boys , those that break the rules, the black sheep of the herd, so to speak.
After some time the attraction weans off though.
Bad boys, Richard Burton and Richard Harris were married several times, obviously their wives got tired of their wild behaviour.
Peter O'Toole's wife stuck with him for 20 years and then divorced.
Despite Oliver Reed s famous booze days with mentioned actors above his wife remained with him to his death. Lucky him!

Hi, tempeste. I really appreciate your continuous support of my writing. I am not sure the boy in this story is a bad boy. He?s a sleepy-head who got on the wrong bus and got lucky. Many thanks again. Rod

Sorry for screwing up 😕
When I read : bleary -eyed for some reason i thought you meant the boy was a bit tipsy hence he took the wrong bus..
Congratulations on your win🍾🥂

Rod, it's an honor sharing 1st place with you.
funny story about the boy on the wrong bus.
But he wouldn't probably have met her otherwise.
cute!

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Very cleverly written.
He must've been cute. Otherwise why would Lily want anything to do with a stumbling, breary-eyed goof who got on a wrong bus?
Good luck in the contest.

I must say what a privilege to read such a work. You took this prompt seriously. You have perfect imagery, suspense kept me hanging on each word. I was interested the whole way. Good read.

A chance meeting ordained by fate! That is a truly funny set up. Kind of surprised the bus driver didn't say anything. Great story. Best of luck in the contest. Julie

That's cute but a little pushier than my own experience as a school girl. This is excellent writing for the challenge! It has good descriptive words and imagery. Thank you for sharing this. I enjoyed reviewing it.
Best wishes!
