Living in a Nightmare (Reboot of I've Failed) (A Gameknight999 Fanfic)

Chapter Five

I hate math. I hate it so much. Most of the time in math class, I wanna die. Who needs algebraic expressions anyway?

And, somehow, I manage to sneak my cell phone into class. And Ms. Imbesi has not yet noticed that instead of paying attention to her lesson, I've been at my desk watching PewDiePie with my Bluetooth earbuds in. 

I click off the video and as I'm about to watch the next one, I get a text from Sam. My heart leaps.

Bro. Help. That's legit all it says.

What??? I write back. Dude what????

Then it says something in Japanese. I sigh. Sam, who's Japanese, always forgets that I don't speak that language.

Sam, English please, I write.

HB kidnapped me. No joke. Get me outta here. This basement is small and smelly and I don't like it.

I sigh again. I knew it.

I exit out of that chat then go to the one between Bryne and me. 

Found Sam.

I can hear Bryne's intake of breath from the other side of the room. 

You did?! Where is she?!?!?!

With HB, I type reluctantly

!$%^!! I chuckle slightly. Just so you know, that's not actually what she actually types. I have to censor it out. We gotta get her back. Meet with Owen at recess? I smile to myself. Sure, I type back.

<><><><><><><>

"Oh come on, Tommy," says Owen. "You can't honestly think we can really find Sam, do you?"

"No, not really," I say. "But we have to try. Sam's one of my best friends. I'm not leaving her to be killed by Herobrine."

"Why don't you ask her if Jenny's with her?" Bryne suggests.

"I can't," I reply. "Herobrine took her phone."

"Oh damn, he's smart," Bryne says. "Now she can't call anyone, or call 911, or post a pic on Insta-"

"Why would Sam need to post on Instagram?" Owen asks.

"Half the nation knows who Herobrine is. If she posts it, then maybe fifty million or so people will come to help us and I wouldn't be stuck fighting a digital mass murderer with nothing but some high heels and a binder."

"True. But sadly, she can't. Bryne, can you tell my dad that Sam and Tyler are missing, too?" I ask.

She nods. "On it." She takes her phone out, types something, and almost ten seconds later, she gets a reply.

"He says he knows already. A police report's been filed on all three of them, and the cops are looking for them," she replied. Then she gasps.

"What is it?!" Owen asks.

"Tommy's dad says that all of the president's bodyguards were just killed!"

I nearly fall over. "WHAT?!"

"Wait..." Owen says, trying to think. Then he slaps his hand over his mouth. "You guys..." he says. "Remember when Herobrine said he had something planned, something big?"

We nod.

"I think Herobrine's trying to kill President Robbins," he says, his voice shaking. "He's going to take over America...!"

"No way," Bryne says. "Herobrine's a horrible person, no denying that, but he'd never stoop that low."

"Uh, yes, he would," I say. 

Owen bites his lip, whining. 

"Sorry." 

"N-no, it's fine. Anyway, what's our next move? We gotta do something about this!"

"I got an idea you guys," says Bryne. "We split up. Two of us while go off and try to find Sam, Jenny, and Tyler, while one of us goes into Washington DC and meets Herobrine there."

"Ooh!" I exclaim. "I wanna go to DC! I've always wanted to go there and see the White House and the Lincoln Memorial and the Washinton Monument and-"

"Tommy, chill," says Bryne. "You need to focus. You're trying to save America here, not go on a tourist trip."

"Oh... yeah. Sorry."

"No, it's fine," Bryne says with a smile. "Well, I guess that's what we'll do. Tommy will go to Washington and stop Herobrine, and Owen and I will rescue our friends."

Owen smiles, sticking his hand out flat. "Handshake?" he asks hopefully.

"Eh. Why not."

Bryne and I stick our hands into the middle of our circle.

"For Jenny, Tyler, and Sam," Owen says.

"For Tommy," Bryne says, looking me in the eyes. I blush.

"For the country," I say finally.

"LET'S DO THIS!!!" 

And then Owen grabs Bryne's wrist and pulls her off, while I shoot for the train station, ready to save the world.
