Forced Secrets Of Wind

Part 5

-Dave's POV-

You jump as you put on your black skinny jeans. You are so fucking late you probably need Bro to drive you to school.

You and your friends where only in 8th grade. You wonder why John suddenly bolted when he showed off his awesome as fuck powers!

No, now's not the time to monologue your thoughts. You need to hurry or you'll miss the bus. You ran out the door and practically tripped down most of the stairs. Bro and Dirk have warned you about them multiple times.

As you finally reach the bottom of the stairs for your apartment, you feel a bit more tired than you would usually. Mostly because you where running down all of them? Meh, who cares? You open the door to the stairs and nod twords the girl behind the counter.

You can tell she started blushing as you flash-stepped out of your apartment building. She might start developing a crush for you within two, probably three minutes? You shoved the girl out of your mind, clearing your head as you ran twords the bus stop.

Three kids where sitting there, waiting. You knew one as the hyper-active Jade Harley, John's cousin. You quickly realize that she is not in her usual preppy mood, but instead sad and gloomy... You wonder what has got her in such a bad mood.  It's usually extremely difficult to get any Crocker-Harley-English-Bert in any sort of unpleasant mood.

"Hey Harles, sup?" You casually stand next to her with her other two companions. She gives off an exasperated sigh and buries her head in one of her hands, using the left hand to prop the right one up. 

"Uuuggggggggh, It's a terrible morning, I don't wanna be here today..."

"Why's that?" You where now extremely confused. None of the Crocker-Harley-English-Berts had any family problems that you've heard of in a while. Except for now, you guess.

"John's feeling depressed and my older brother, Jake, won't let me go see him." You are confused, John? Depressed? This must be a collaborative prank from him. Although, after yesterday, you can kinda get where he's comming from, looking at yesterday's events and how his 'powers' where clearly trying to be kept a secret.

You guess he is extremely scared at the moment. You wouldn't be surprised if he cuddled up with the stuffed bunny you gave him a few months ago for 13th birthday.

Jade sighed and brought you out of your John-centric thoughts. She pinched her nose and groaned a bit. One of the girls put a hand on Jade's shoulder. She gave a small smile twords Jade and Jade returned that smile.

Noticing that the bus was arriving, you stepped forward twords the stop-sign. Jade noticed this and walked forward with her two buddies.

As the yellow bus stopped at the edge of the street and opened it's doors. You flashstepped into your seat, feeling immensely sad when you realize John isn't here.

The silence of the bus kinda bothers you. There usually is a few people talking, but no. It's silent. You look around and see that everyone is staring at you.

"What?" You ask them, if they are staring at you, you want an explanation.

"W-Where's E-Egbert?" The kid in seat 13 asked. You are in seat number 14.

"He's not here today, obviously." You say. You roll your eyes behind your shades and sit back in your seat. Of course, they ask about Egbert. Well, you would to if he was here. Which he isn't.

Everyone is silent when you pull into the school and the bus lets you out. You flash-step off the bus and walk into the school. Once you open the doors, everyone stares at you like yesterday. You walk past them and head to your locker.

You open your locker number 123, and look across the hall. At locker 413. You let your guard down for a moment when you see that it has not been opened.

You grimice and put your guard back up. You don't want any fuckers to mess with you today. You grab your Social Studies book and walk to your first class. Everyone stares at you for a moment before going back to do their own thing.

You walk over to the fourth table where your assigned seat is. You take a seat next to your half sister, Rose Lalonde. You're glad she doesn't start doing all her phsyco-babble-shit on you once you sit down.

The teacher walks in and starts doing attendance. You can tell she purposely moves past John's name and goes straight to Jade.

You hope you can make it through the school day without stabbing yourself with Bro's or Dirk's katana.
