Ugh ... another day of school.

This public school is starting to get ridiculous. First of all, we have some new boys in our class and they're literally ruining the whole experience. I have no idea why those boys won't shut up even if Mrs. Julia tells them to; why do they even have to make noises in the first place?

That is all I think about as my mom drives me to school. I glare out the window, daydreaming, and see trees, buildings and cars passing by. It's a good thing my friends will be there for the least; I can't stress out with the boys without them.

My mom wakes me up from my reverie, "Hello? Autumn! Wake up! We reached school!"

"That part wasn't necessary," I say back. I don't know why I like to fool with my mother sometimes.

"Come on out, I have to drop James too," she instructs and I look at my brother, James, to my left. He seems excited to go to his school, so I just went out. I know he'll have the best time since he's only a kindergartener.

But this is not the case when it comes to middle school and I bet it'll be even worse in high school. We have a high amount of studies to study in just two semesters. I'm surely not ready for the final exam at all. Speaking of which, the finals are in three months which is just killing me whenever I think about it.

------------------------

I enter the school and see my three heroic friends standing in the way. They are crazy popular here ever since the experience they've been through.

"Hey there!" I say joyously.

"Hey Ambitious Autumn! I'm Radiant Richard and this is Legendary Lara and Marvelous Maisie," he says and they wave at me. He's been giving us all nicknames for some reason.

"I know who you are, Richard," I chuckle.

"Happy Harper and Artistic Abigail are in class. I have no idea where Adventurous Alan is though nor do I know where Jubilant Jessie is either," Richard explains. He is taking the nicknames too literally.

"Wow, okay," I say.

"You going to class yet?" Lara asks.

"Not yet, I'll go to the bathroom and remake my hair then I'll go."

"Okay then, see you in class!" Maisie smiles and they went off to class.

I follow my steps to the bathroom and remake my hair. I guess I didn't realize James playing with my hair in the car.

I'm happy my friends achieved a successful journey in stopping David for good. At least I won't have to deal with this dude anymore. He's out of his mind.

------------------------

I think it has been about fifteen minutes at minimum and I'm still in the bathroom. What in the world did my brother do to my hair? It's taking forever to untangle my hair, so I just left some of it and quickly tied my hair into some low pigtails. I then exited the bathroom and made my way to the hallway.

It seemed pretty empty as I passed through the way. I guess that means I'm kind of late. It doesn't really matter though since I have never been late. I'm sure Mrs. Julia won't say anything.

On my way, I spotted Chloe, the meanie, walking to class too. It's kind of funny that Richard calls her Careless Chloe. Yet it seemed odd when I looked at her, Chloe is usually never late.

I then realized that she did it on purpose.

She said these horrifying words to me in a brutal voice, "This isn't over yet. You will pay for what you have done to my father! You'll see! Revenge awaits ..." and that's when she rushes away from me and I'm in deep fear.
