Claire locks her front door before following Eren and Zack to the bus stop. As they make their way to the bus stop, they have conversations about many topics, varying from Creepy videogames to strange and concerning animal facts.

A few other people were at the bus stop already, the ginger twins that lived two houses down from Eren, the tall Hispanic African American boy that played soccer for like a year then joined the book club, a blond girl and her supposed emo vampire looking boyfriend, two short girls, one was a chubby latina girl and the other one wore a hijab, the latter's face was stuffed in a book, almost everyone knew she had a thing for true crime, The last person was a very familiar Hispanic girl with dark hair slicked bach into a ponytail,

"Good morning Betsy", Claire said, running ahead of the other two teens. The girl in question looked up from her phone and in the direction of Claire. She shoved her phone in her pocket, grabbed Claire by the arm and started talking her ear off.

Claire looked to her friends as to ask for assistance only to be met with them walking towards the ginger twins and the tall H.A.A boy, Zack turned and gave her a 'you're on your own' look, Claire's face morphed into one of betrayal. "Also do you know why Zack is so mean to me? I just want to be friends with you all. . .", Betsy said pouting her lip and looking though her eyelashes up at Claire.

"Their usually like that, you'll get used to it the more you hang out with them, try having some one on one talk with them about how you feel and maybe they'll lighten up a bit", Claire said, smiling sweetly, feeling bad that her new friend wasn't happy with one of her best friends, "I'm sure you'll get through to them after a while"

"Okay, I'll be sure to have a moment to talk with him." Betsy said, hugging Claire close as a thank you, Claire's eyebrow twitching at the missgenderig of her friend.

Eren is animatic with his conversation with the twins, who are equally as enthusiastic about what the topic was, only including Zack and the taller of the group in the form of a multitude of questions, the silent duo in return, answered either uncaring or in complete focus of the conversation.

"So Eren. . . Zack. . . Why did you leave your little friend over there with the embodiment of hell?", Feminine twin asked, her head turned slightly to look in the direction of Claire and Betsy, the latter of the two spewing words a mile a minute while the former looked just about ready to take herself back home.

"Oh, Claire is just to nice to tell her to shut up, and with that stunt she pulled yesterday with Zack's bag, I'm making sure Zack doesn't go to prison for murder or something like that", Eren said, placing his hand on Zack's shoulder, the teen in question turned to look the red headed girl in the eyes.

"I can and will find a way to get my revenge. . . Also Claire took one of my gogurt tubes a month ago so this is payback. . ." They stated, never looking away from the girl, who felt a shiver run down her spine, all she did in response was smile nervously and nice her head as in understanding. "Also. . . Eren? Where's my ice cream?" they looked at the male as he spawned a look of panic, taking off his bookbag and rummaging through it to pull out a box a frozen treats, slightly dampened from being warmed up ever so slightly, handing the box over to the teen that has yet to take their eyes away from the boy, they opened their large lunchbox, and placed the box of sweets inside.

"It's basically always cold outside now and days, why do you need so many cold foods Zack?" The tallest male asked, the masculine red headed twin nodding in agreement.

"Don't question me Nickolas." Snapped the accused teen, Nickolas raisin his hands in surrender.

"Sorry, sorry," Nickolas chuckled, "and I told you to call me Nick, no need for formalities. Anyways how about we all eat together for once. You all are so all over the place when lunch time rolles around, how about we all eat together instead of with different groups, yeah?" Nick said with a smile.

"That was so, fucking sappy" The masculine twin said, earning a jab to the rib from his sister and a stern 'James' as he doubled over laughing in pain, "lay off Jamie, don't worry Nick we'll be sure to be together for lunch, minus BTB" James snickered, getting another jab.

Everyone else voiced their agreement as Eren and Zack made their way back to Claire and Betsy, the one way conversation being heard from all around the block at this point. Once Claire caught sight of her friends she visibility relaxed. The twin-like duo coming to stand near Claire as Betsy continued with her story.

"So after we came back from the cruise, we had a shopping spree and I got these new earrings, I'm not allowed to wear them because they were to sharp and heavy, my mom said they would tare up my earlobes if I wore them, but they were still so pretty I just had to have them. Then he went to that famous restaurant twenty miles down south park, and they had the best steak, then-" "Ohmygosh,shuuuuuuutuuuuuup" Zack groaned, throwing their head back, they pointed to where the bus road down the small hill to one of the entrances to the neighborhood, and both Claire and Eren signed in relief.

The bus came to a stop in front of the ground of teens, they made their way inside the vehicle, Betsy making sure she was the first one on. The bus drove away from the stop, taking two more stops before leaving the neighborhood completely.
