And there is where he slept.
When the sun rose the next day at six in the morning, Zak immediately awakened, not wanting anyone to get to school and see him asleep in the playground. He saw that some teachers had already arrived, but he was relatively sure that he was hidden enough where they didn't see him. Zak stood up and walked to a nearby forest with some pathways through it, which was how some kids got to school if they lived in the neighborhood behind it.
After a while of hiding behind a few trees, Zak saw some of his classmates walking through. Once they were out of earshot, he decided it was time to follow their lead and head to school.
Zak went through his day normally as if nothing had happened last night. He and Darryl avoided each other all day and Zak didn't even see him- who knew if he was even there. During his lunch, the boy went and bought a few school T-shirts that they sold for around $10 each. He also bought the sweatpants that they make you buy if you get dress-coded, as he needed a few pairs of clothes to wear if he didn't want anyone to find out what he was doing.
When the end of the day rolled around, he decided that he would find a way to sleep in the school tonight, as there was a cold front coming and he would prefer a place that has appropriate heating and cooling mechanisms. He hid in a supply closet behind the science rooms until around five or six in the afternoon, when he was sure all the teachers had gone home. He knew that he couldn't spend the night in the supply closet, though, so he thanked God that his school didn't have cameras and went to find another place to sleep.
After a while of wandering around with no teachers in sight, but also no good hideouts, he decided to go to the locker rooms. After all, if he wanted to stay clean he would need to shower somewhere, and the athletic showers were the best place to do that.
The locker room was very cold- he knew he wanted to stay there for as little time as possible, but enough to let the cool water run over his body and cleanse him.
Zak mentally thanked his past self for being extra as he grabbed his small sweat towel from his locker, using it to dry off. He then saw an unused janitor's closet in the room with him. He knew that nobody used it because there was one main closet for the cheer, swim, and athletic locker room, so why would they choose to use a smaller one for only one locker room instead of the big one for all three? They just didn't use it.
He decided to bunk in there for the night.
