It's the day after the little slumber party I attended.

I woke up minutes after I began sleeping due to the flash on Chadwick's phone going off.

He. Took. A. Picture.

He picked up the slumbering Gia and carried her to her room. She woke up and bickered HARD of course, but stopped once she hit her bed.

Cleaning up our remains, I went to mine for some sleep.

That brings us to today, it's lunch.

I was eating with Remi, Blyke, and Isen.

Honestly, this half of the three bologna sandwiches I made are irresistible. Absolutely. The sauce on it just ties the rest of the ingredients together. It's rich, creamy, fresh. It's the best possible combination of these ingredients I swear.

We're just sitting in the cafeteria at our own table minding our business.

Out of nowhere, I get a text from John.

Gelled-boy: Me and Arlo are going to run some errands of his after school, wanna tag along?

Today is the day. Arlo is making his move.

Question is, what do I do?

Wait, what was I going to do about John? There was no way I wouldn't make some sort of plans for or against him- I forgot about it because of the pillow fort.............

Okay dumb ass, you don't know how to change the past, so you have to figure out what to do now.

What will you do?

.......Ah, I'll do that.

Me: Yup.

Seeing that my message was read, I continued on with my day, waiting for the promised time.

About Five Hours Later (Brought to you by Chibi Elian sleeping through all his classes without any drool):

Arlo, John, Me, Isen, and Blyke were on a train and were about to arrive at wherever we need to go to for Arlo's "errands". Apparently, John messaged Isen, Blyke, and Remi about this as well to come, Remi declined but Blyke accepted while Isen "accepted".

Why? Because I told him to.

It was a nice calm chat we were having.

Arlo didn't seem too thrilled that Isen, Blyke, and I tagged along. It looked like he was going to cancel but with some strong persuasion from John, and the surprisingly dutifully serving jack, he accepted.

One thing that stood out, or more so didn't, was what errands Arlo needed to run. Every time I broached the topic, he changed the topic or declined to answer.

Yellow lookin kinda suss.

Hearing the cute little *ding* come from the speakers on the train, the doors opened.

We arrived.

A short five minute walk away, and we were on a barren landscape. One full of nothing but grassless soil.

Now, it wasn't only me who was suspicious or Arlo, but everyone. Although it was a suspicion littered with confusion.

Seemingly out of nowhere, two students appeared out from behind Arlo, who was smirking smugly while facing us.
