Skeppy grabbed the glasses again, his fingers shaking as he looked around. Bad looked up from the floor and looked at Skeppy with concern. "Geppy?" He said to him carefully, still in pain.
Skeppy didn't respond, he only slipped the red lens back on and looked at Bad with a terrified look he was trying to hide.
Floating above Bad was a black silhouette with glowing eyes, steam slowly floating up from it's body. It had a smile plastered on its face with raggedy hair and sharp knife-like horns and claws. The claws loomed over him and slowly clawed at his shoulders, a creature tail wrapping around his feet. It was like a ghost, or a spirit. A demon.
What the hell did he buy?
---✨---
Zak and Darryl have been roommates for over a year, and although they've had ups and downs, and their fights and their moments, they've been best friends since the very end and wouldn't change it for anything.
But soon, when Zak buys a pair of cool glasses for his comic, things start to change. The world is so much more different, and he has to keep tabs using an old notebook.
He soon learns about people and things happening around him, and he could choose whether or not to use it for good.
"Bad was his best friend. So why didn't he tell him about this?"
(This book is written in a Notebook report kind of way, like a weekly log. But since it's written by Skeppy, I can't write in his broken English since it would be too painful, so sorry @-@ )

"You're... not afraid?" His voice was barely a peep, shy gaze half-turning away but still watching him out of the corner of his eye. His hand instinctively reached for the pendant at his chest, tips of his finger grazing the crystal and ready to grasp it, somewhat afraid of the answer that would come next.
"Why would I be afraid? You're like the coolest person I've met so far! Plus-" He poked his side, and George squeaked, jumping back from the ticklish sensation. "You're so scrawny and small. I'd never be afraid of you!"
* * *
George never wanted to be one of them. But at eight years old, he discovered he was a Psychic and he was committed into a faraway island academy for Extramundanes. Despite the difficulty of making friends when even other super-powered classmates are afraid of you, George finds a tight-knit group of best friends who aren't afraid to stand up for him.
Yet with age comes his developing abilities, and as he grapples for control, the disappearance of one of his best friends leads George and his friends on a runaway road trip to rescue him. However, they fail to realize their true adversary is the threatening power searing inside one of their own.
