Suspicious Sightings

Michaels POV:

I. HATE. school. If I haven't told you that yet, well now you know(A.N: We love a self aware main character!!!). Anyways. School got on pretty normally, and its lunch time! My favorite time! Why? Well, I can eat, talk, and talk more than ever! Its honestly a pity we don't have longer than 40 mins...oh well! I look in my wallet aaaaand- WHERE IS MY LUNCH MONEY?! I swear I brought it! I panic as I rummage through my wallet frantically. Am I gonna starve!? I look up, about to go to Umbralord since he always has the cash. Which can I just say, money changed him...But before I could even take a step, I just suddenly feel this ominous presence behind me, like a demon suddenly took form. I quickly turn around, yelling "LORD SAVE MY SOUL- O-OH!-"
It was Zik.
How. The. HELL!? Did Zik decide to ask Umbra on how to appear randomly or something?! "H-Hey Zik whatcha doing? Especially right behind me-" Before I could continue my words, this dude slaps me with 1000 dollars. "Take it for your lunch." was all he said. But now I'm all confused, is this dude thinking I eat at Gordon Ramsey!? I DONT EVEN USE 40 DOLLARS FOR LUNCH-
I sigh, nodding. "Thanks Zik, your a life saver!" wiping away fake sweat, I skip away happily, smiling and rushing towards Ran and the others.
Oh cmon! They're already off to get their food! I sigh, turning to get my own food when I'm suddenly greeted with a package that writes "For you :3" Nervously, I grab it and inspect it. Realizing its food, I look around for Zik to return his cash, but all I see is a split second of yellow moving into the crowd and past Umbra, who seems to be...sleep walking?? 'Beats me.' I shrug, walking back to our gangs table and sitting down, unpacking the package. 'I spose Ill just give Zik his money back when he comes.'

Zik's POV:

That was close. I would've been caught stealing Michael's lunch money from his wallet. AND I got seen by Michael. God. What a disaster. In fact, were it not for Umbra's sleepiness and blocking the view, I would've been caught, and my plan would be foiled. I swiftly walk away, heading to a food stand as to not raise suspicions. After purchasing my food, I pull out Michael's cash. It feels so...valuable. Like I can't spend it with ANYTHING. 'Your crazy.' said a small voice in my head. But this time...'I know I am, but I don't care.' I smirk. Walking calmly back to the others in the cafeteria and replacing my crazed smile with a neutral one. "Hello Michael, I assume you've got your meal?" I say in a forced neutral tone. God, forcing myself to not grab him and drag him away to a private place is such a challenge to my urges...whatever, "We're waiting for Umbra, Shady, and AJ." Nodding, I sit down PURPOSELY next to him, edging closer to his seat bit by bit to not get caught.

Ran's POV:

I'm not gonna lie, lunch is...chaotic. People everywhere, chitter chatter. All the noise noise noise...God it gives me HEADACHES! I sigh, looking around. "Hey, guys. I'm gonna go try to get myself some food, wait for me alright?" The group all nod, agreeing to meet back here after getting their food. Although I wonder where Zik and Michael is...oh well. I'm sure they'll know it. They always know it somehow...
I sigh, walking out of the school and into the street market. 'It's so busy!' I think to myself surprised. I continue walking, not really interested in any of the options until my eyes land upon a jackpot. A filipino food stand. Smiling, I get up, cash in hand as I walk over and order my food. After getting my food, I walk back to the school, heading into the cafeteria, I spot the group of friend's I'm so accustomed to talking with, honestly, I wish I could pay them back one day for all the kindness they've given me. For hanging out with me too. 'I'm so glad to have met them...' I think. "Hey! I'm back!" I call out, waving as I earn the attention of Michael and Zik. "Oh welcome back Ran!!" Michael calls out, while Zik merely scoffs and waves. Seriously, what is UP with this cranky ass dude?!?

Umbralord's POV:

I walk down the street market, with hands in my pockets, I walk to a Japanese food stand and order a sushi set, pulling out my cash, I simply hand the person 400 dollars and say "Keep the change.". Walking away, I grin, pulling out my phone and calling someone. "-.. .. -.. / -.-- --- ..- / --. . - / - .... . / - .... .. -. --. ... / -. . . -.. . -.. ..--.." "-.-- . ... --..-- / .. - .----. ... / .. -. / - .... . / .--. .-.. .- -.-. . / .-- . / -... --- - .... / .- --. .-. . . -.. / - --- .-.-.-" ".-.. ..- -. .- .-. ..--.. / -... ..- - / .. / - .... --- ..- --. .... - / .. - / .-- .- ... / - --- --- / .-. .. ... -.- -.-- ..--.."

I end the phone call, putting it in my pocket, picking up the sushi set, and continue walking towards the school again. "Guess todays gonna be a cloudy day hm?" I look up at the sky, pondering on what could be in store for after school...

Shady's POV:

I love hanging out with the gurlies, but you know what I like more? Hanging out with RAN! He's just such a gentleman, unlike umbra. He's so polite, calm, collected, and gentle. UNLIKE UMBRA. I roll my eyes at all the pathetic food. Don't they have food fit for a person like me!? I continue to walk until I see a clean and tidy shop...meh, I don't like the decoration but...better than nothing I suppose.
I walk in, heading to the cashier and ordering my food, and after a few minutes I get it.
Ok, the service was fast, food smells nice. But still...bad decoration...would probably rate it a 3 out of 5 stars to be honest...Oh well! I'll just find a better restaurant tomorrow, and besides, I have to eat with Ran! I quicken my pace of walking, hoping to not be late when we meet. 'Here I come!' I think, smiling.

AJ's POV:

I always preferred eating what Ran eats. Why? It's so I don't have to choose what to eat every day, and Ran always picks the best food ever. But this time, since I wanna give a good impression to everyone, I'm going to go out and find my own food! Because guess what? I'm smart!-

I got lost.

Yeah at this point, I got my food but like I have no idea how to return, I walk around, trying to find a familiar building I can recognize to use as a landmark to get back. But unfortunately, I find none. Thats until while I'm walking I suddenly bump into..."Umbra! I need help returning to the campus- are you good?"
I think I jumpscared him because he looks like he saw the universe's worse secret's EVER! "1, You need to STOP jumpscaring me. 2, sure! :D" I mentally cheer as I follow umbra back to the campus. 'He really gets alot of mood changes, doesn't he?' said a small voice in my head. 'True True." I reply, still walking and following Umbra, who seems to be back in his daze. Of course he is, I don't think he's ever payed attention while walking ever since I saw him! Oh well, as long as I can get back and not get detention, I'm satisfied with whatever he does.

(small intermission of AJ laughing at Umbra for hitting his head on a window by accident)

Ran's POV:

So after a while of waiting, Umbra finally came along with AJ. "Jeez, what took you guys so long? Now we only got like 25 minutes of lunch..." Umbra shrugs. "My bad, AJ bumped into me while I was looking around for more snacks and food to consume." he says, making me give him a "are you serious." look, to which he merely nods and unpacks his food. "Umbra, you do know we're going to move spots right?" Shady says, which makes him stop, and slowly pack his food back up. "You saw nothing." He says, practically hiding his embarrassment. I pat his back, saying "Ay, I didn't know either." I say, which makes him smile and laugh. "Guess your with me on this one."

(Timeskip bought by Umbra)

Michael's POV:

Lunch went faster than I thought honestly, but for the first time, that's fine. Why? you may ask. That's because we finally...have. a. new. class. It's called Theoretical Mystics, sounds really cool and frankly gets me all excited. Although I have a feeling it might be the most BORING class of every class in this world! I turn to my group, signaling them to follow me as we head downstairs down to the basement. I hear Shady whisper to me "Doesn't this feel abit dangerous...?" "Nonsense! The school wouldn't let such dangerous classes exist without purposely downgrading it to a safer level!" I respond, and I get a "if you say so." from shady. Holding my books, I realize just how heavy these books are, like, they're so heavy I need BOTH arms to carry them! Much less holding my other stuff WHILE going down the stairs too...I wonder what's in store for all of us?

Ran's POV:

It was all fine in the classroom, the tension was light, people were laughing, and even me and my group were chatting like there was no tomorrow.

That was, until we saw what was on the teachers table. A corpse, it looked fresh, like it was recently killed, the face was mangled beyond recognition, and it was, well...dead. Suddenly, I could feel the tension become so high it might burst at the smallest voice, the air becoming so thick it became difficult to breathe, and no one could bear to look at the corpse except one person.

Umbralord. Why could he just stare, not in disgust, but in a mildly fascinated way?! My eyes flick towards the clock attached to the wall. It's time for class. But where's the teacher? Shouldn't they be here by now?

"Ah, I apologize for being late class."

A voice jumps us all, it made me almost fall out of my chair. As we all look at the figure, my mind screeches to a stop, all thoughts cease to operate as all I can utter is...

"Thomas?"
