Frank was able to sleep in until 6AM, when his alarm woke him up for school. Despite being able to get more sleep, all if it was restless; he was more worried about someone peering through his window while he slept than actually sleeping. A soft buzz from his phone stole his attention from the window which he began to stare out of again.

Good morning Frank, your second challenge is to watch this video sometime before midnight tonight.

Attached to the text was a link to a video, the thumbnail was pitch-black so it didn't hint at all to the context of the video.He debates on whether to leave it for later, if it was too disturbing then he didn't want it haunting him all day but then again if he let it wait until tonight he probably wouldn't be able to sleep again. Glossing over the fact the person knew he was awake, he got dressed; making sure to shut the curtains again so if there was a creep outside his window they wouldn't see. Somehow, the curtains kept creeping open, though Frank hadn't noticed this yet. He crept down the stairs quietly, hearing that the TV was still on he guessed neither of his parents were awake; his dad had fallen asleep watching it and his mother probably too tired from the casino to turn it off the night prior.

Grabbing his hoodie out the dryer, he slipped it on. He cursed as he realized he had forgotten to do his English essay, he was too distracted by both Gerard, the senior that had been kind enough to invite him to their little hang out (though he declined) and BWC (What he called the person on the other side of the screen). He didn't have any time before school, so he decided to just do a half-assed version in his classes whenever he had free time; if he had free time.

His footsteps echoed in the unusually quiet neighborhood as he walked to school. Usually the sounds of car alarms echoed in the early mornings and yells deep in the night filled the environment, but now frank could only hear the patter of his own feet. A man walking his dog passed Frank, judging by the expensive breed of dog and designer coat the man was wearing, Frank guessed he wasn't from around here. Somewhere in the distance a car alarm went off, the sound travelling far and probably awaking a few of the dogs in the neighborhood because now Frank could hear barking that wasn't coming from the dog that just passed him by.

Frank stopped as he looked at a familiar car, the same exact car that had been in his driveway the night prior before it pulled away. It didn't look like it belonged to any of the houses Frank judged, since it was sitting on a lonely curb rather than in a driveway. He peered into the tinted black windows, even in broad daylight he couldn't see the interior of the car. Frank backed away from the car as he came to the realization of the possibility that someone on the other side of the window could be staring back at him. Frank shuffled away from the car quickly, glancing back at it until it was out of view.

Coming upon the school, Frank seen that the seniors weren't in the courtyard like they were yesterday. He remembered faintly that seniors had an assembly today, they had to sign their name on a large banner that would be hung up on their graduating day. Frank noticed out of the five guys only one was there, Frank had assumed they were all seniors. He wasn't at the park with them last night though, maybe he had stayed home and studied; rather than wake up with a hang over.

"Hey, why aren't you with the other guys?" Frank asked awkwardly, regretting his decision to talk since he had never spoken to someone; just gotten spoken to.

"I'm a junior," he muttered, surprising Frank since he was taller than the others. He had brown hair that was mostly covered by a beanie, wearing black jeans instead of the school khakis along with the black school polo.

"Same, I didn't realize you were in my year," Frank said, he had never seen him around; you would think you would recognize someone as tall as him.
