180noscope:

Girlboss:
Yeah I totally forgot about it, I could delete this one?

leastcoolguy:

Girlboss:

Dudebro:

anxietyspecialist:

Girlboss:
...I'll be there in 5 as well

180noscope:
Oh jeez 😭 just make sure you guys change it up a little so the teacher doesn't notice?

leastcoolguy:
you don't even need to worry my guy im an expert at these things he wont even know what hit him

The six stood in front of the teachers desk deploying any and every reason not to look Mr. Thomas in the eye. Besides Aiden who just smiled a little more nervously than usual. Their maths homework was lined up in front of them in a neat row, big red F's adorning them.

Mr. Thomas broke the terse silence in a tone that betrayed a little bit of his amusement. "So. I take it you all know why your homework has been graded this way?" He tapped his pen on the sheet closest to him.

Some of them nodded, but none of them spoke. Unspokenly, they all reached the same consensus, the sooner they get to leave the better. Mr. Thomas only sighed.

"Well then. I'll let this slide this one time, but look, if you needed more time or something I'd have preferred if you told me so instead of trying to pull this sort of thing. I expect better of you in the future." with his final words he waved his hand, dismissing them. They did so gladly a little too quickly.

As they walked out into the hallway an argument sparked in whispers, as if Mr. Thomas would be able to hear it from multiple meters away.

"Didn't you literally say you "are an expert in these things"? Where was that genius just there moron? You literally copied the bits Logan crossed out." Tyler began at Aiden's throat, as he always does.

"Why are you attacking me specifically? You messed up too you barely even wrote out the rough work for the questions." he snapped back.

"Guys.. please stop, it's no-one's fault." Logan broke the self induced quiet with his plead.

"He's right, and not to be that person but it's really not that big of a deal. Just some maths homework." Ashlyn said as she checked the video footage of the graveyard they captured the other night on her phone. Part of their newest experiment, an attempt to record the happenings in the phantom realm and a neat reason to ignore people to check her phone.

Despite her intervention the two kept on bickering and the rest chatted like normal people until everyone had to go their separate ways for the evening.

Girlboss:
So. Aiden.

leastcoolguy:
why do i sense that this is something bad

anxietyspecialist:
Ooo drama in the groupchattt

Girlboss:
Mind explaining what you were doing at the graveyard at 3 am yesterday?

leastcoolguy:

Girlboss:
Do you not remember how we literally spent an hour setting up cameras the other day?

Batman:
I didn't see you leave the house? You didn't tell me you were doing that either??

leastcoolguy:
actually dont beleive ash guys i have an alibi ben didnt see me leave

Batman:
I wasn't defending you

leastcoolguy:
betrayed by my own flesh and blood :( 💔

180noscope:
So why were you there?

Girlboss:
And why were you moving around like a cartoon thief, did you really think of someone came by they wouldn't see you?

[Girlboss sent a video]
The video depicts Aiden dressed in a black hoodie and a drawstring bag tiptoeing and sidestepping exaggeratedly against the side of a bus before looking both ways and scurrying off. See chapter image if you need help visualising lol.

Dudebro:
I'm starting a blackmail folder on you and that is absolutely going in.

leastcoolguy:
noooo 😭

anxietyspecialist:
Spillll why were you there

leastcoolguy:
:(

leastcoolguy:
well since we arent fighting that many phantoms and it was getting kinda boring i though id sneak in stuff to prank you guys with when we were there

Batman:
Aw I was actually kind of hoping it was something more dramatic

Girlboss:
I'm just realising... how did you get past the tall ass wall surrounding the graveyard?

leastcoolguy:
:)

Girlboss:
Aiden.

Girlboss:
Aiden answer me

Girlboss:
Hello?

Batman:
I asked him irl and he wouldn't answer me either, he's gone to bed now.

Girlboss:
When I see him in 2 hours he is done for I swear to god.
