I walked into school, yearning for answers. I put my backpack in my locker, grabbing books for my first class soon after. As soon as I saw Y/N, I rushed to her with tons of questions, not satisfied with what she told me.

"Y/N you said you would tell me about Will?" I started a conversation. She nodded as we began walking down the hall.

"I still don't get why they call him Zombie Boy. I mean I get it, he got lost in the woods for like a week by why a zombie? Because everyone thought he was dead?" I asked, talking very fast.

"Yeah, I mean we had a funeral and everything for him." She replied

"We actually found a body." Lucas chimed in, appearing at our side.

"But you guys had a funeral for him after week." I mention

"Well see some other kid drowned at the quarry." Y/N started to explain.

"We thought it was him, the body was super decomposed." Lucas continued.

"What? Ok, that's not funny." I say in disgust.

"It's not a joke alright! It's public knowledge" He raised his voice.

Y/N began to respond. "It was like the only thing people could talk about. Ask anyone except Will, he's still sensitive about it."

Lucas nudged her shoulder. She looked at him with a "what the fuck" face. He just rolled his eyes, as the entered their first class.

A book slams open, waking me from a daydream.

"The case of Phineas Gage is one of the great medical curiosities of all time." Mr. Clarke spoke to the class, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He began to speak again while drawing a diagram on the whiteboard. "Phineas was a railroad worker in 1848 who had a nightmarish accident. A large iron rod was driven completely through his head. He miraculously survived, He seemed fine, and physically yes, he was."

I turned around sighing at the boring lesson. I spotted Max and started to think.

she's really pretty...

do i like her?

does she like me?

we're just friends right....

are we even friends?

These same sentences were swirling around my mind. It was all I could think about, until I noticed Mike and Will whispering about something. I'm not sure what though.

whatever.

Suddenly Dustin barges in, waking some kids up, white startling others.

"I'm so sorry Mr. Clarke" He apologized, trying to regain his breath "Really, I'm so sorry, please continue with the class. Don't mind me." He said while sitting down near us. "Really, continue, please. Thanks."
