One moment, the bell rings, the next everyone disappears and I'm all alone in the classroom. I walk out, and into the hallways, "Hello!" I call out, to anyone that'll hear me. "Hello!" I call out even louder, that it, until I hear my voice bounce back from the walls toward me. Is this place...no, I was just in class, I thought. "Someone!? Anyone!" I cried out again. No answer, just my voice bouncing back toward me. I walk more into the hallways. Then the lights turn off. I look down at my phone, to check the time, but it said 12:00, I know for a fact it isn't 12:00. I was certain that wasn't the time. "Hello!" I heard a voice scream, from somewhere. I don't know where or who, but it was a voice. "I'm over here!" I screamed, now standing in one place and not moving. That's when I heard footsteps and the person who the voice belonged to came into my sight of view. She had long brown hair, was wearing a pinkish-blue dress, has pink shows on, and was facing the wrong way. "Hello!" She screamed, toward the wrong way. "Behind you." I said, in my normal voice, she turned around and saw me, and I saw her hazel eyes. "Hello! My names Cassidy, what's yours?" She asked me, in a, admittedly, too playful tone. "Conner." I said, and she laughed, "What's funny, Cassidy?" "Question: where are we?" Was all she answered with. "The school?" I, mostly asked, answered. "Oh, you go to that school to? I thought you looked familiar." She said, before looking around, "but this doesn't like look school." I looked around, and sure enough, it looked mostly like...a city? There was a city smell, everywhere I turned I was staring at a building, or a car going like 50MPH on the road, or people walking by, and I thought I could feel something, apparently that was a bus stop pole that I was holding. Don't ask how I didn't notice that, I just didn't. "Well...where are we?" I asked, and then Cassidy stared at me blankly. "Oh...you don't know do you?" "Why else would I ask you first!?" She suddenly lashed out. "Alright, Cassidy, let's...uhm...explore?" I asked, and Cassidy responded with a way too playful "sure!"

Me and Cassidy started walking down the sidewalk, but we then stopped at a restaurant, mostly cause she decided to stop and look into the window, anyway, me and Cassidy were sat on a table and then we just waited, until a person who wear the uniform to the restaurant we were in, apparently called TimeTime. The person then went up to our table, "Hello! I'm Joas! I'll be your waiter for today, now tell me what do y'all want to drink?" Joas asked us, "Juice!" Cassidy responded, and I just said, "uhhhhhhhhh...." Joas just looked like they were done with us. "Uhhhhhhhh...I'll just take Pepsi." Joas wrote both of that down, then just left. "So, Cassidy, what is your favorite color?" I asked her, to  maybe get to know her better. "Yellow." She replies, having a still way too playful tone of voice. "Oh, mine's Grey." After that, we just sat in pure silence. Joas came back with the drinks, as they just put them down, and then just left. Saying nothing. "Rude much." Cassidy said, after Joas left. "So, would you rather have time control or time travel?" Cassidy asked me. "Shouldn't Time Travel already be covered if I had Time Control?" I asked her, and she just nodded. "Then time control. Why was that the first question you asked me?" I asked her, and she responded with, "That was the second question I asked you."
That was a wasted conversation. "Connor, before, this thing, what was your favorite thing to do?" Cassidy asked me, "School." I replied. Cassidy then seemed to look at me, and then faked a gag, "I'm just not going to question why." She said, with a tone that sounded suspiciously happy and disgusted. Anyway, after that Joas came back with a black card, "uhm...what?" I asked them, "Pay." Was all they said, before leaving again.... "Do you have money?" I asked Cassidy, who shook her head. That's just great, I thought. I opened the black thing up to see that we owed, $1.00. I just decided to get up, and bolt through the front door, and Cassidy followed me. Just like that, we were back on the streets of whatever town this is. Cassidy stopped to talk to one of the people who were walking, who's name was apparently Cau. Cau had explained that we were subjected to a Time Fail, something everyone here was also subjected to, and that we couldn't get back to The Real World. Right now though, me and Cassidy are seating at a bus stop. "So...we are stuck here." I said, and Cassidy then just glared at me, saying absolutely nothing at all. "Cassidy, maybe we should do an icebreaker to get to know each other better?" I said, and Cassidy just nodded. I pulled out my phone, and the time still said 12:00, but I ignored that, I went to google and searched 'icebreaker.' "Here's a good one, what is your favorite superhero?" "The heck is a superhero?" Is what Cassidy responded with. "Okay, then, what is your favorite genre?" "Thriller or horror." "I don't like either." "...oh."

After a while, the bus had came and me and Cassidy went on it
