I don't have a song for this chapter, so enjoy Bad's amazing creation!

It's still the first week and I'm already sick of it. I miss summer break; Ant was here, we all hung out more, Red wasn't so quiet, it was nice.
I sigh, saying my final goodbyes to Zak before heading off to my first class.

I'm not one to get agitated easily, but things aren't going to well at the moment. I have been getting stuck in my own head recently. The situation with Zak the other week didn't help. I'm just so confused- and scared- and worried-
   Ant hasn't really been answering my texts as well to make matters even worse. I'm afraid I did something, or he did something and is in trouble. He's not one to get mad at someone easily, especially me. It's always playful and joking fights, never the real deal.

Each day I ask Red if he had talked to him at all, but the answer is always no. I'm really starting to get nervous-
This is unusual behaviour for Ant. I'm just worried he's going through something bad, and is scared to seek help from any of us. I would guess the only reason he would be acting like this is because of leaving, but you would think if he was that upset about leaving us he would at least reach out. I don't know-

I take a seat in the nearest desk to the door, leaning back in my chair in attempt to make myself comfortable.
I get lost in thought once again, thinking about nothing yet everything at once. Everything except for the lesson being taught right in front of me.
-
A sharp sound from right in front of my face startles me. "You think I just stand up here and talk to myself?!" The teacher exclaims, walking back up to the front of the class. "Pay attention! All of you!" I put two and two together and realized that sharp sound was his hand banging on my desk. I hadn't realized I fell asleep- must've been out for not even ten minutes.
It's weird though. I'm usually not like this.

The rest of the lecture came and went fairly quickly, which I was thankful for. I step into my next class, bracing myself for another hour of complete boredom.

-

I smile as I see Zak appear in the doorway right after the bell rang. I had helped him with his homework days prior, so the teacher didn't give him a hard time today. I feel his eyes on me the second my smile disappears. He taps me on the shoulder giving me that "what's wrong?" look.
    "Nothing, it's just Ant hasn't answered any of my texts in awhile." I explain bluntly, keeping my gaze straight ahead as we walked down the crowded hallway. Students pushing each other around, eager to get something in their stomachs.

I didn't realize my breathing starting to speed up before I felt another hand grab mine. I look over to see Zak carelessly holding my hand, dragging me along to the cafeteria.
  "Hold on tight, it'll be impossible to find you in this crowd," I say making him look back at me with an unimpressed glare. I huff a laugh, tightening my grip on his hand to now drag him along instead.

Screaming and loud talking could be vividly heard all around us as we searched for our group.
    I learned to take sounds and divide them into many individual sounds. Like when I listen to music I divide the drums and guitar so I hear them as two separate sounds, so when I picked out a very distinct voice amongst all the rest my heart skipped a beat. I walk a bit faster, picking up my pace as I frantically look around, finally spotting the source of the voice.

(The start of the day)

I didn't really feel like socializing this morning, so I left a little before Finn.
    Ant hasn't been answering my calls or texts. Did he ghost me? But we are soulmates?-

I sigh deeply as I shove my hands into my jean pockets. I have been stuck in my own head a lot. I feel kind of bad about worrying my friends, beginning to be the quiet one- aside from Zak.
I have been thinking of just booking a flight to go visit him. I'm definitely being to clingy but at this point I don't care.

Yelling and talking got louder the closer I got to school. It felt like another one of those days where all I want to do is just isolate myself and get this all over with so I can go home. I manage to make it to my locker without seeing anyone that would try and stop to talk to me.

The rest of my morning was just a big blur of small events. My body was in the room, but I wasn't there. Like I was watching my life just be lived by someone else's first person perspective. It has come to the point where I start looking forward to dismissal. Going home and going to bed. I shouldn't let this get to me as much as it does.

I made it to my second class of the day. I was a little late since my first two classes of the day are literally across the whole school from each other, and I'm not in the mood to get in trouble from running in the halls.
"Why don't you int-" I heard my teacher talking as I walked through the door, keeping my head down since I was late and not in the mood for socializing.

"Well, look who decided to show up." She sasses. I was not in the mood for her bullshit today, so naturally I talked back. "I was late by five minutes, give me a break-" I sigh, looking up at her.

Time stops. The world itself stops completely. Frozen in place. I nearly had a fucking heart attack, and that is not an exaggeration. "Why hello there," He smiles excitedly. I just stood there. Not wanting to embarrass myself if I was just hallucinating.
"Like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted-" I interrupt her again, dropping my bag and running to him, whispering little "what the fuck"s under my breath.

"How- why are you here-" I ask, hugging him tightly. "Did you really think I would just completely ghost you without an explanation?" He giggles. I was to stunned to respond.
The rest of the class went by so quickly. It mostly consisted of the teacher shushing me and Ant for talking so much. Could you blame me though? He still hasn't told me why he just magically showed up here. I swear this is a dream.

Before I knew it it was time to break for lunch. The entire time I would not let Ant out of my sight, and he didn't really seem to mind.
We ended up being the first ones out of our friend group to get to the cafeteria. The second Finn came in he looked like he had seen a ghost before running up and greeting Ant. George and Clay arrived next. Clay had endless questions, and George tried to shut him up.

"Where's Bad? Is he at school today?" Ant asks, looking a bit concerned. "Him and Zak should be here soo-" And as if it were scripted, they both entered the cafeteria, not seeing us at first.
The moment Bad's eyes landed on Ant he looked like he was about to pass out.
"Wha- you're here!" He exclaims excitedly.

"Ok, well now that everyone is here I may as well explain myself." Ant giggles as Bad collapses into his arms, holding him tight. "My parents were planning on moving before my trip. When I got back I had so much packing to do I barely had time to sleep, and since I wanted it to be a surprise I didn't talk to anyone. Which now that I think about it wasn't such a good idea- sorry about that." He laughs nervously.
"So you live here now?" Clay asks, clearly not putting two and two together.

"No, he's just going to school here. What do you think, idiot?" George rolls his eyes, nudging Clay with a smirk.
"That's so exciting!" Finn chirps.

The rest of the day was the best. Honestly I had no idea my life could just completely turn around in the span of just a couple of hours.
