Farm chatter

I already edited it. This is what you wrote:
I stepped onto the bus feeling happy. The sun was out and it was warm. Warm like one of those days in late spring where you can just smell the air and know that it is going to be a great day. I greeted the bus driver with a hello and skipped to my seat. On the way people kept staring at me smugly, but I had no care today so I just brushed it off plopping into my seat and beginning to read.

Would y'all read this book if it had this intro?

Yes I would! However, I think the structure of the sentences need a little more support, and the fluctuation of tenses takes away from the experience. If I were writing this, I would change a few things ( I am aware this is a rough draft, but I am suggesting things for your edits)

I didn’t hesitate to step onto the bus as I usually did. This time, I found myself feeling happy. The sun was still rising, but it was warm, like one of those days in late spring where you can just feel the air, and know it will be a great day. I greeted my usual bus driver with a hello, which I wouldn’t have done on a normal day. He smiled at me before I skipped to my seat, feeling just as radiant as the warm sun. Some of the other students on the bus watched me with smug looks on their faces as I made my way down the isle. But I had no care today, I wasn’t going to let them ruin my good mood. I just brushed it off, and plopped into my seat where I opened my book at the same time our bus began to move forward.

I changed a little more than I should have. I think you’re a good writer! But I have a tendency to get carried away.... 😅

I switched up some words, I think you could have added more detail to “the sun was warm” so I changed the word structure some to make it flow, but kept it simple and not super wordy. You should definitely keep writing! Whatever It’s for, I think it will turn out well :D
