X's pov:

The next morning I woke up. My brain felt all foggy and misty as it was usually when I woke up. I got out of bed groggily. I had an early start. School started at 8:00 am and I woke up at 6:00 am. I checked my clock and... oh my god! It was 7:30! I rushed out of my room and ate a quick breakfast, I threw my homework in my backpack and rushed downstairs. My parents and siblings had all left. Great. Just great, I booked it to the bus stop, running as quick as my tiny legs could carry me... but alas, I just missed it. I watched in disbelief as the bus drove off.

"Agh!" I yelled, stomping my foot. It started to rain. Great, just great. Perfect timing too! I run under a tree and pull out my phone. My parents don't have phones and my siblings have the iq of doorknobs. So I text my best friend Seven.

X: Hey Seven, missed the school bus, mind if I stay at your place?

Seven: Well, if you're prepared for my crazy family then be my guest.

X: Great! What's the address?

Seven: 609 pinewood street

X: Alright! Be there in 10.

I put down my phone. I was close by luckily and walked. I walked and walked. Eventually I found a run down looking house. The grass was overgrown, the house was beige with many dirt splatters with a white roof. On the roof there were a few soccer balls, a toy airplane, a tarp for whatever reason. A birds nest (literally) and some missing panels. It looked like a complete mess. I assumed it had been abandoned until I heard shouting coming from inside. I approached the splintering wooden door and rang the bell.

No one's pov:

Seven walked to the door and slowly opened it, seeing X. "Oh hey dude! Welcome to my house. Come on in!" He said warmly. And oh boy what X saw he did not expect. There were nine different numbers living in the house. Two was chasing Four around the house. They didn't get along to say the least, One was chastising Nine for breaking a base while riding their skateboard. Eight and Zero were baking something in the kitchen (with Three's help). Six was alone reading a book, Five was in her room. "Some... some family you got-" mumbled X "Yeah they're insane." Seven chuckled. He got up on the couch "HEY EVERYONE! MY FRIENDS STAYING OVER SO YOU BETTER FUCKING BEHAVE!" Yelled Seven. "Language!" Called out Six. He wasn't a fan of cursing, it happened a lot nonetheless. Seven stuck his tongue out at Six. Six just rolled his eyes and get back to reading. Two was sitting on Four's back pinning him down. "Two... down." Said One angrily, Two rolled their eyes and got off. Four stood up and brushed himself off. "Ugh- take that Two! You filthy animal." Growled Four. He crossed his arms and went to the living room. Flopping onto the couch. "Hey! Who said you could be on the couch." Yelled Six "I did now fuck off or leave me alone." Snarled Four in retort. X knew this would be one hell of a night, X was shown by seven the one room with a couch in it and no second number, that room just so happened to belong to Four. It would be where X was sleeping that night. "Ok rules: don't make eye contact. Don't talk. Don't start conversation. Don't touch anything. And most importantly... don't make him mad." Said Seven. "Well goodnight!" He went to his room,
