Let's Escape Reality Together (Earth to Echo)

The Runaways

Zellania's P.O.V.

I woke up half an hour earlier just because of, the insane idea in my head as I started to pack two bags. One for school and the other for my trip. I plan to ask my friends if they would like to join with me, ya know? Make final memories before we leave. I opened my door and walked silently down the stairs as I saw my mum at the kitchen table. She was sitting down with a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee, and on the other end of the table was a picture of my dad with a cup of coffee beside the picture.

"Hey mum." I quietly say in the dimly lit kitchen.

"Hello, sweetie. Why are you up so early?" my mum said as she turned to face me with her teared stained face.

"Well, I-uh, couldn't really sleep. And you know how I'm like almost always late for school, right mum?" I replied as I slightly laughed.

She pulled a smile on her face, "Yes, I do know that."

Then she got up and pulled open the fridge as she asked me what I wanted.

"Maybe eggs and bacon? I haven't had that for a while on a school day." I replied as I sat down were my mum sat. I looked at the picture of my dad and soon realized that it was the picture of their wedding day, maybe this isn't a good idea. I mean, leaving my mum when she's heartbroken already. No, I have to do this. I looked down at my phone on my lap which still had the weird looking map on. I looked back up at the picture, then to my mum who was making food. I slouched down a little and rest my neck on the rail of the chair, and closed my eyes. I can't believe I only have three more days. Geez, it just felt like yesterday I was meeting my best friends. Now, I guess I'll have to do that again. Sigh. I sure hope my friends will make the right choice choosing new friends, I would hate if anything bad would happen to them. My thoughts were disrupted when I heard the plate clack on the table, and the fresh aroma of eggs and bacon. I opened my eyes and stared to dig in as my mum went into her bedroom. I took my phone out from under the table and tried to understand what it exactly meant, but nothing made sense. As I finished breakfast, I ran back up to my bedroom and finished packing my bag. I looked at the clock in my room and it was time to go and leave for school, I took my backpack for school and ran down the stairs and ran to my parent's room to say bye.

I walked in my parent's room, "Bye mum! I'm leaving to go to school." I said.

I saw my mum sitting on her bed as she turned around she replied "Alright, honey. Have a good school day."

I sat at our usual spot at lunch, waiting for my friends to arrive. I looked around at the lunch room, I guess I won't ever get to see any of you, ever again... I then realized that Evelyn just sat down next to me.

"Hey, what's up?" she asked.

"Nothing much, but my phone is still really weird. And check this out." I replied as I took out my phone with the strange constellation map and showed it to Evelyn.

"Whoa! Where does this lead to? How did this happen? Did you do something to it?" Evelyn started to ask way too many questions for one person to comprehend.

I laughed "I don't know where this leads to, or how this happened. This is why I was gonna ask you if you would like to come on an adventure with me for our last three days." I replied the best I could.

"You mean go out into where ever this leads you? Did you even ask your mother?" Evelyn questioned.

Just then, Luke came and sat in front of us.

"Did you ask your mother what?" Luke said as he looked at me.

"Well I, uh..." I started to say trying to find the right woods when I got cut off.
