David POV

I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep. Well hooey, I guess I'll just get back to making those assignments for the kids I'll be teaching this year, and if I remember correctly, I think someone from last year failed and is going to be back again this year. Aww, poor guy maybe this year he'll listen when I tell him not to fall asleep in class. I finnish setting up a few journaling assignments. After all, ELA is a very important subject it helps with...! It helps with....!? What does ELA help with? I guess understanding things you read?... I find myself walking to the door of my office, still trying to figure out why ELA is important. I erase the though from my mind as I step into the hallway and walk to the kid's room to check to see I Max is there, I open the door and DUN DUN DUN!!! Nothing. The bottom bunk is empty. How did he get out? The window is still locked from last night, so he couldn't have left that way.. Actually, no, the real question is, why does he want to leave so badly? Where does he even go? I'll have to talk to him when he comes back in the morning.. I hope he's okay..

Having nothing else I can do to either find out where Max goes each night or prepare for the upcoming school year, I go back into my office, grab my laptop and start browsing for a good as to watch on Disney+, eventually I find something called 'The Owl House', so I get comfortable and start to binge watch.

By the time I get to season two, I hear my alarm clock ring, and it takes a second for me to realize that I'm still in the real world, that realization is soon followed by a five minute long pity party. After crying about the fact that I will probably never get to see the Boiling Isles in person, I get up and start getting ready for today!

After I'm done getting ready, I go to the kid's room, only to see that it's empty. Harrison is probably in the bathroom, but where's max?

(A/N: hey y'alls! Just got back from retaking my EOG! Feeling anxious, so naturally I started writing. Happy pride month! 💕)
