The bus stop was relatively empty when you got there, with only one other kid waiting there. You took a seat of a bench nearby, followed by Jackie, and Frankie sitting herself right next to the bench.

There was some silence, before Frankie spoke up, with his normal, cheerful chatter. Jackie didn't engage much, but that was to be expected from them. They weren't much of a talker, but they still made the effort to acknowledge their siblings words.
A) You talked with Frankie just as much, you were rather social, or at least your were with close friends.
B) You did as Jackie did, remaining quiet, but still quietly engaging. You weren't too social, but still tried.
C) You talked on and off, acting as a sort of middle between the two. You weren't social, but not antisocial either.

Frankie seemed happy regardless, and they normally were. It's surprisingly how cheerful she could be, despite how life seemed to fuck her over. She was crippled since birth, or so he told you, their home life was terrible, and she didn't have a really big social circle. And yet, she always shone through this hardship, smile beaming.

Jackie was definitely his polar opposite. They were moody, and depressing. They often were the one having to be there for they're sibling, and as a result seem to take the worst of everything. As a result, they have some tough skin. You had only see this guy smile once, and that was when he had scared some little bitch bully off.

It was kinda weird now you all became friends in the first place, let alone STAY good friends for all this time.

Your thoughts were cut short from the sound of the bud headed your way. Jackie sighed, bowing his head a bit. Their coily hair bounced a little, as they sat up, stuffing their hands into their pockets. You got up too, once the bud had come to a stop by you four, counting the other random kid here.

Frankie led the way to the bus's door, and per usual, the door opened, and the bus driver set down the wheelchair ramp for the disabled rider. Jackie pushed Frankie up, and you followed, flanked by the other kid.

The three of you went straight to the back, and Jackie swiftly strapped Frankie in, having been shown how to many times before from the bus driver. You went ahead and sat down, waiting for the bus to keep moving. Once Jackie sat down, the bus driver rolled the Ramp back up, closed the door, and got moving.

Jackie pulled a pair of earphones from their pocket, and plugged them into their older modeled phone. They set both heads of the wired earphones into both his ears, and she turned on some music for himself, will Frankie looked outside the window, humming to themself. You:
A) Listened to some Music too
B) Read something
C) Scroll through Social Media
D) Played some random Moblie Game
F) Other activity
-to pass the time.

After 3 more stops to pick up more students, the bus made its way to your middle school. You, Jackie, and Frankie were all 7th graders. Jackie was incredibly smart, and was offered to skip a grade, but he refused, not keen on ditching you and Frankie. Frankie had difficulty occasionally in school, but with some help, she's able to get by with rather good grades.
A) You did great in school naturally.
B) You had to put a lot effort in, and did great as a result.
C) You did okay, and struggled sometimes, but you do try.
D) You don't try, and and do just okay as a result.
F) Your failing. Not even Jackie can help you most the time.

Frankie hummed in delight, and pointed outside of the window, "We're here!" She chirped, before poking Jackie, getting their attention. He huffed is annoyance, pausing his music, and stuffing his headphones back in his pocket.

Once the bus finally came to a stop, Jackie went to unstrap Frankie, telling you to "Go on ahead." You did as instructed, and walked out of the large vehicle. They stood just outside, to the side, waiting for the Warren twins to come out.

The bus driver did the same thing as normal, and Jackie pushed Frankie out of the bus. Once out, Frankie went back to wheeling herself around, "C'mon! Maybe if we're quick, we can get the good stuff in the hot line!" He urged, quickly moving themself forward. Jackie shrugged a bit, and walked behind her, no sense of urgency detectable.

The trek to breakfast was sadly too slow, and Frankie mourned the loss of his posible Honey bun over some under-sweetened Cocoa Puffs. Jackie didn't eat anything, and you:
A) Ate some Cereal too
B) Ate nothing

"I was so excited for a honey bun too.." Frankie moaned sadly, "I'm never fast enough to get one though, and I can't get them at home." "... I'll get you one tomorrow." Jackie mumbled, laying their head down on their arms. Frankie seemed surprise, before a smile befell them again, "Thank you Jackie!" She cheered happily, attitude brightening quickly.

   The rest of breakfast went by in silence before you all went ahead and headed to class. None of you shared any classes, so, unfortunately, you had to part ways. You kept going straight from where the cafeteria was to head to homeroom.

   You're homeroom teacher taught math, and her name was Mrs. Davis. She was your favorite teacher, regardless of what she taught. She was engaging, didn't do too many assignments that made you talk in front of the class, and was very good at breaking the concepts she was teaching down into understandable bites.

   You were one of the last kids in the classroom.
A) A lot of the kids said hello to you as you sat down. You were rather popular.
B) One or two kids have you greetings as you went to your desk. You were at least known.
C) No one said anything to you as you sat down at your desk. No one really gave to shits about you.
D) You heard a muffled snicker or two as you entered the room, and sat down. You had a few bitches out to get you.

   You slid your bag under your desk, rummaging through it quickly to grab your notebook and a:
A) Pencil
B) Pen
C) Quill
To write with, and set them down on your desk, waiting for class to begin. Mrs. Davis seemed a little busy with something at the moment, so you had some spare time to:
A) Doodle in your notebook.
B) Scroll through your phone.
C) Listen to music.

   Soon enough, however, you heard your teacher sit up, and walk to the front of the classroom, and you focused your attention on her the best you could.

   "Good morning class!" She started off simply, before moving on quickly, "I hope everyone had a good nights rest last night, as today, we do have a small quiz to get through. It's just about G.E.M.D.A.S, which has been our topic of the week, as I'm sure you were aware." She explained, her voice smooth. There were a couple groans from the classmates that forgot about this quiz.

   "Quick refresher so everyone can get through this with relative ease.."

   Well, I guess the day could've started worse. You sat your head on your arms, and listened in for the answers, wanting a quick refresher.
