Rapids (AU) [Completed]

11

After my chat with Greg, everyone leaves, and I get into the car. I put my headphones in my ears, and hit the play button on my 'Undertale' playlist, and watch the world zoom by. It is really different than running. I can really see more, even though it might look like a blur to someone else who's looking out the same car window. 

Finally, we arrive at the address Caitlin gave us, and the place is BIG. The lobby alone, was the width of a school gym. However, nobody's at the front desk.

"Hello?" I call out. The response I got, was not what I was expecting.

"Mr. Rapids. Glad you made the ride safely." Dr. Wells says.

I'm on high alert. I don't know why the hell he's here, especially at nine at night. I'm ready for anything. An attack, an argument, you name it. However, there is a flaw in my plan. My dad. He's still back at the car, fixing the tire that popped on the way here. If I were to be attacked, He'd still be there. I wouldn't get to warn him.

"Chris." Wells says. "About your house. I am truly sorry. I wish I could have made it to see you here, but as usual, I threw myself so deep into my work, that I couldn't get out. Again, call me if you need anything." He hands me a slip of paper, with a list of Caitlin, Cisco, and his phone numbers, all written in a scrawl of pen.

He leaves, and directly after, my dad walks in, oblivious to all that happened.

The new apartment is huge! (Well, not 'I need a map just to find the bathroom' huge, but it's pretty big) I also have classes at Central City Middle School, a two minute walking distance from here. 

At six the next morning, I get up for the day. At seven, I leave our apartment, and take the elevator to the lobby, waving to the doorman, who's name is Scott, on my way out. I take the dirt path through the forest, and arrive at school. I pick up my paperwork from the main office, and receive a guide to help me around to my classes.

"Hey." The kid waves to me. He's about my height, maybe a little taller, has short, blond hair, and soft, brown eyes. "I'm Zach.  You're Chris, correct?" I nod and he leads me to my first class.
