The tone in Mr. Caethler's voice did not sound good.

"There's no easy way to say this... you're all having a giant sleep over!"

A what? I didn't understand what he was saying.

He gave a fake smile and spread his arms out in a welcoming way, but it still didn't cover his worried face.

Had Cena's prediction come true? Were we really going to stay at school over night? He was joking, right?

He pressed his lips together and looked down at his hands. "What I mean is that because of the pot hole, your parents, and the bus cannot leave or come to the school. Because of that, you are going to be staying at the school until we figure out how to get you home."

The class stayed in silence. First we didn't have lunch, now we have to stay at school over the weekend. Without food! This was not good.

Ok, I have to admit that having a sleep over with all my friends at school is pretty great but you have people that you don't want to see like Nelson and Daemon.

Nelson and Daemon are two trouble makers in the other class. They usually stick together and bug people in their free time.

Mr. Cathler continued "So before we get set up lets make a plan. Any ideas?"

I looked around and saw people chatting with each other having a look of terror on their faces. I looked back at Mr. Caethler and noticed that he saw them talking. 

His eyes looked around the room to pin point where the sound was coming from. I could see his eyes lock on Clarise. He got her attention back by giving a simple 'ahem' and continuing with what he was saying before.

"So! Why not we all pick a partner to stick together with?" As he said that Cena and I both turned our heads towards each other and nodded to say that we would be partners.

Everyone got up and got a partner. Cena and I walked toward each other "You predicted the future." I said, with a sarcastic voice.

"Hey, I didn't know that it would actually happen. You think I want this?" She whisper yelled at me with a slight smile.

"Ok, class." we turned to Mr. Caethler who clapped his hands to get our attention. "So..." He began and went for a while.

"...lets move our desk's to go on the outer edge of the room and clear out the center. That's where we'll sleep. Everyone will be sleeping in their homeroom with their teacher or teachers and classmates. And of course, safety first. The first aid kit will be on my desk the whole time. If you use it please return it to its spot when you are done using it. While you guys were on your lunch break, the teachers were informed of this tragic event and have all corresponded with each other to create some rules."

The class jeered.

"Yes, I know. We don't like rules, but its for your own good."

The class quieted down and listened to the rest of what he had to say.

"So, rule number 1. Obviously, be respectful of others and treat people kindly. 2. We would like you to not go outside unless an adult is outside with you. 3. You guys have a curfew, woo. You must be back inside before dark because we are in a place surrounded by forests and animals that can harm you. If you are out after dark it is harder to find you and its harder for you to defend yourselves. If you can."

Cena and I turned to each other and shrugged.

"You've cursed us."
