Picking up those who are willing to take a look at Bullworth Academy, despite a lot of subdued reactions from open-minded, more rational thinking survivors, they drove to Bullworth Academy using Sheriff Will's bus. Negan was supposed to make a joke about using a school bus, but he sort of just complimented it, and told everyone to get on board. Those who volunteered.

The ones who volunteered are: Gordon, Lyudmila, Yelena, Elijah, Fred, Sifer, Hosea, AJ, Talulah, and of course, Eno and Sasha. The others had reservations to join, but until they see this is legit, then they'll give them a chance.

Fred drives the bus, and Sifer gives him directions to where the Academy may be. Meanwhile, Hosea looks around inside the bus, to see his fellow survivors that volunteered to see their fort for themselves idling casually. Some are talking to Jimmy and Negan.

Especially Eno, Sasha, and Gordon—they grew quite fond of Jimmy quite quickly, but maybe that's because they're all underage. Lyudmila preferred to stay out of it, but kept an eye on him. Their conversation is inaudible, but a few clear topics can be heard. Apparently kids are free to be kids in school, but, only IN school. This greatly excites Sasha and Eno, but this prompted unsureness to Gordon. Every Wednesday is Spaghetti Wednesday – unfortunately, they don't have spaghetti, and they can't tell which day is Wednesday. They also moved Spaghetti Wednesday to Thursday, but first they need spaghetti, and a calendar.

There's only two teachers in the entire school, both of which don't have complete control over the kids, but are teaching them. The kids over fourteen, which is practically the new twenty in the apocalypse, are free to get out of the academy, and help with outdoor duties. The rest are doing chores and studying inside the academy walls.

From the back of the bus, Negan could be seen conversing with Yelena—the vibe they let on looks like a staff member flirting with another staff member. Of course, he's not being inappropriate, more like making her laugh and such. Talulah casts a scowl at Negan, though she hides it well.

The rest are just looking out the windows, not paying attention to their guests who are willing to bring them to their fort.

As they've reached the bridge connecting the academy to Bullworth Town, Negan steps up to the front of the bus—the same time Hosea stood up to look around.

Negan: "Alright! Kiddos, when we've reached the gate, y'all should get out of the bus. We adults are going through the parking lot. Jimmy, give them the tour of the place, and make sure they have a good impression."

Jimmy: "Couldn't exactly guarantee that, but I'll try."

Negan: "Now, Hosea, we'll continue this discussion in the headmaster's office. Besides, you got a speak to the man who runs the place."

Hosea: "Aren't there just two teachers?"

Negan: "Yeah...it's just us..."

---

Hosea decided to patiently wait to get to the headmaster's office to get more answers. After they've reached the academy gates, where they see the walls surrounding the school built like surrounding a very important war fortress, Fred opens the bus door.

Jimmy then stands up, and gestures the young survivors he was talking with to come with. Knowing Eno is very nervous about this, Jimmy takes his hand, and gives him a reassuring nod. The four of them leave the bus, while Lyudmila lags behind – having the emotions and movement of a puberty ridden teen in its goth phase. It was when Negan shouted "Go!" Was she got the motivation to just jump out of there. Sifer just waved goodbye and walked out casually, still suited in her padded armour.
