"Time?!"

"8 minutes!"

"Don't we have a biology test tomorrow, Eric?"

"Oh shit, don't say that."

"Why is that what you're thinking about?!"

"It's pretty important."

"The graveyard!"

They ran faster coming into sight of their safe haven. Just a few more yards...

They rushed in, Ashlyn stopping next to the button. The phantom was getting closer, its everlasting grin trying to swallow them whole.

"Close the gate, close the gate!"

Ashlyn slammed her hand on the button as soon as they were all inside and the doors slowly swung closed. The phantom kept getting closer and if they waited one more second it would've gotten in.

Once it was shut out the group let out a sigh of relief.

"Alright, let's head to the bus." Ashlyn, their leader, said.

Once they were inside they all collapsed onto the seats.

"Ugh, that sucked."

"Eh, not the worst thing I've been through."

"What's the worst thing you've been through??"

"Andrew jumped off the roof in middle school."

"Why?"

"He thought he could fly."

"Oh yeah I almost forgot about that!" Eric laughed. "Babe thought he was from neverland."

"Oh piss off."

"Ah. The banging stopped."

"It probably gave up or someth..."

Tyler trailed off as they saw a phantom, the one that had nearly gotten in no doubt, crept into the bus. They just stared in shock for a moment-

"How?!"

-before standing and slowly backing up.

"Can we open the back door?"

"It's blocked!"

"What if this was my thirteenth reason? What if I was suicidal?"

"Lewis, get it together."

"When have I ever had it together?!"

"Fourth grade?"

"Doesn't count, I was held back. You know that, you whore!"

"W-what do we do?"

"Die?"

"Aiden!"

"I mean we could."

"Lewis!"

The phantom lunged at them making them all scream but then a beeping went off and they were safe.

Pietro rolled over and just stared at the ceiling for a moment before grabbing his phone and opening the groupchat.

He snickered when he saw the names just as he always did. Amber was so stupid.
