I found Sky first, she'd hid around the corner of the building infront of me hoping I would pass her or find her so she could hug me as we searched which she did of course. I found Felicity next who had hidden between bins at the tuckshop, Aquilla was the hardest to find because somehow she had managed to magically not die from the heat in the sports center storage room in a volleyball basket. "What the fu- HOW'D YOU FIT IN THERE! NO NEVERMIND YOUR TINY"- she glared then grinned-" HOW DID YOU NOT DIE FROM THE HEAT!" All she did was shrug and run off to count. Me and Sky hid in one of the music block practice rooms to be found last.

After a few rounds of hide and seek we all had to fix our hair and make sure our bags weren't gona burst at their seems. My fingers almost died trying to zip up my bag again, but once it was all zipped the pain and redness started to ease. We waited and waited playing practically another Uno tournament, this time in teams, Flic and Aquilla ended up winning this time with no arguments.

After what seemed forever we had five minutes to get into place before the moon fully blocked the sun. Slowly ever so slowly it crept closer and closer to fully covering the sun and we waited as the moon ate the sun at the speed of a Galapagos tourtise. Finally a farmilar flash of light came and instinctively we raised our hands to shield our eyes.

Once the temporary blindness went we lowered our arms to find no one. Sad expressions instantly appeared on our faces, we looked around finding no one. " Wait a couple minutes the bell has gone but the eclipse is still on and puls my watch says it's 1:14pm not 1:15pm so we can re- what! No! The date! It's back to June 9th!" I screamed in my whisper to them.

They instantly pulled out their phones and googled it only to shove them back in their pockets with shocked expressions. My watched buzzed on my arm and I lifted it to see what it was having a mini heart atack over. An alarm. For 1:15pm. "Welp this is it- the moment of truth!" I sighed and turned off my alarm looking around only to jump when I herd someone else's voice.
