Bad Things Happen

Part 8: Sometimes the Unexpected Happens

Hope you guys enjoy :D

"Me too!" Eugene said in an excited voice. "I also found this unit easier than the first one – that one just had too much info."

All of the gang had kept each other safe, made sure they were all good, and after Alex was able to get his strength back from lots and lots of rest and practices that took months, they were celebrating.

"You and Rowan have seriously gone insane – knowing about all these stuff..." Teddy huffed, sipping the soda in his hand, unable to take the whole studying thing the two were exceeding at after having been to cram school with Gray.

"Maybe you'll be able to do better in your studies if you joined us in cram school--"

"Why would I join?! I don't feel the need to!" Teddy interrupted Rowan, huffing louder and going to order another cold drink for himself after getting up and throwing away the soda can. "Aw, he's probably feeling shy to join you guys." Ben said smugly. "I think he'll come around soon enough."

"You're probably right – though, I think you should pay more attention to your own studies than somebody else's." Alex remarked with a grin.

"Oh, no, I think you're right!! My studies are terrible...But I never thought much about it...I got an idea – How about we all go to the cram school?!"

"Uh, I'll pass." Gerard said with his hands in front of him to indicate refusal. "I have other things I want to do than studying."

"Hm...Well, how about--"

"Nope." Alex made an 'X' with his arms the instant Big Ben turned to him, making his answer clear. "I also have things to do."

Pouting sadly, Ben held his drink with one hand and with the other mixed it with the straw. "Huh...Thought you guys were my friends..."

"Bruh, stop. School isn't everything."

And so, a few months passed. The team all went and spent lots of time together, enjoying their youth.

At some point, high school was done and over with, and they were taking the bus to go to an amusement park – which was, of course, Ben's idea.

"Can't believe it – we're done with high school!!!"

They were all so very excited, each one wearing a smile, eyes shining brightly.

As the bus was riding above a long bridge to get to the other side, it swerved over to another lane as a car crash suddenly happened in front of it, leading to the bus to shake and get off the lane it was on and smash the safety railing, falling down to the water beneath.

There were multiple deaths that day, including these friends.

Everyone was sad about how some people lost their lives so young when they had so much to live for...

Well.

That was a lie.

This is all a lie, really.

Since it's April Fools Day, the evil side of writers is possible to escape.

Apologies for any traumatic mental injuries you may have obtained seconds before.

Hah. Hah. Hahahahahaha.

Once again, I apologise, but I want to see you, the reader, as you finished reading, and I wonder how your expression would be...Perhaps writers are naturally sadistic at times.

Anyway.

Thank you for your patience, kindness, and for taking your time to read this story.

Here is the actual chapter...
