"can we open the backdoor?" ashyln asks, looking around for an exit.

"it's blocked!" taylor informs.

"w-what do we do??", logan questions as he tears up.

"die?"

"aiden!"

the phantom lunges towards the group at the back of the bus, everyone screams out in fear and huddle together.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

logan's watch goes off.

——————————————-

"ah!!" nicolas screams, throwing himself off his bed.

skakily, he checks his phone.

12:01

'that was a close one...' he thinks

his phone lights up with a notification.

logan

ben

'crap..we had homework'

he pushes that to the back of his thoughts as he turns off his phone and flops back down onto his bed.

———————————————-

"nicolas!!"

nicolas shifts in his bed, startled by the familiar shout.

somebody stomps up the stairs of the house and shoves his door open.

"nicolas! you're going to be late. get up."

"mom, just one second.." nicolas gets up and rubs his eyes. "i just slept bad last ni-"

his arm being grabbed and shoved onto the floor cuts him off.

"no excuses! get your lazy ass up!" his mom yells.

nicolas nods, looking up at her warily. she makes her way out of his room and back downstairs.

———————————————-

'im so tired..' he thinks as he enters the bus that holds the rest of the group.

"hey nick!!" aiden greets.

nicolas gives him an half assed wave as he sits next to ashlyn who was slumped up against the window.

"last night keep you up??"

"mmhm.."

"here, i did the homework last night." aiden passes him a sheet of paper.

"I literally forgot, thanks man."

"no problem" aiden gives him a big smile before settling back down next to an asleep ben.

———————————————-

nicolas, ashlyn, aiden, and ben walk into their home room class together and weakly greet the mr. thomas.

"hey, logan.."

logan opens his eyes a bit in his sleepy state.

"oh, hi nick", he yawns, giving a small smile.

"okay everyone! get your homework out." mr. thomas's voice is the last thing nicolas heard before he falls asleep.

———————————————-

RING!

nicolas snaps his head up as he hears the bell go off.

'crap, i slept through class again.."

he looks around, peering at his friends seemingly half dead states.

'seems like they did too.'

nicolas begins to put his notebooks into his backpack when someone walks up to him.

"hey, so all of us are going to eat lunch together today. to talk about you know..." logan mutters shyly.

"okay, i'll be there in a second.."

"i'll just wait and walk with you, i have nothing to do anyways."

nicolas looks up at him with a slight grin.

"ok ok, i'll try and hurry!"

'this should be fun.'
