and if it's bold and slanted then it's like a transition thing or something to inform you
Example: "that was a close one.."
——————————————
The moon was bright yellow, the sky was red, and you and your friends were getting chased by phantoms.
Ashlyn was in the front leading everybody.
"TIME?!" Ashlyn yelled back waiting impatiently for an answer.
Logan then checked his watch "8 MINUTES!"
"Just a little longer.."
TAT TAT TAT the phantom was getting closer and closer.
"It's close!" Ashlyn sweated
In the distance you could see an area with high walls and broken buses inside.
"The graveyard!" She yelled.
Everybody was a nervous wreck as they kept on running.
Ashlyn skid to the button and waited until everybody got in.
"CLOSE THE GATE, CLOSE THE GATE!" Tyler yelled being the last one in.
SLAM
As the doors were closing the phantom tried to rush through the crack.
It was about to make it until the door shut on its face.
Everybody relaxed for a bit some sighing and some slouching in to a more relaxed position.
BANG BANG BANG
The phantom kept on banging on the door.
"Creepy..." you whispered.
"I know right" Taylor replied.
"Alright let's head to the bus." Ashlyn said motioning everyone to follow her.
Tyler slammed down on to his seat groaning.
"Ugh... that sucked."
Everybody silently agreed.
You were behind Taylor and Tyler.
You squeezed your legs to your chest trying to reassure yourself that you'll be fine.
BANG BANG bang...
Ashlyn was massaging her feet when she heard that the banging had stop.
"Ah.. the banging has stopped."
"It probably gave up or someth-..."
Tyler was about to finish his sentence when he saw the phantom come up inside the bus.
Everybody stared at the phantom in disbelief.
"How?!" You asked.
Everybody cuddled up together rushing to the back of the bus.
"Can we open the back door?!" Ashlyn asked with a terrified face.
"It's blocked!" Taylor exclaimed.
"W-what do we do??" Logan asked tearing up.
"Die?" Aiden replied.
"AIDEN!" Everybody yelled.
The phantom then lunged at all of them having his hand in front of his face ready to claw them out.
"GAHHH!!" Everybody screamed.
You were behind Logan so you covered your face behind him.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
Logan's watch beeped signaling that they're going back.
When the phantom swinged his sharp claws they were gone.
Which caused the phantom to be confused.
Real world
"GAH!" Ashlyn said quickly getting up from her bed.
"Way too close..."
BZZT BZZT
Logan: Everyone okay?
Ashlyn: 👍
Aiden:
LOL that was close
Taylor:
Physically yes
Tyler:
Mentally no
You:
PFFT
Ben:
Did anyone finish the homework?
Ashlyn: Screw it.
Tyler: ^
Taylor: ^
You: ^
Next morning
Ashlyn was getting picked up from the bus.
"Hey Ash." Aiden said with his usual psychotic smile.
Ashlyn sat down in front of them and took a big breather.
"Last night was rough, huh?" Aiden asked.
Aiden then realized something and went through his bag.
"I finished the homework." Aiden flapped the sheet of paper on Ashlyn's face.
"Wanna copy?"
"His energy never ceases does it?" Ashlyn asked herself.
"Thanks."
Aiden then smiled.
"Hey? Can I copy too?" You asked.
You sat in front of Ashlyn's seat.
"Sure." Aiden said.
Classroom
"Good morn-" the teacher said before he saw the state y'all were in.
You, Ashlyn, Ben, and Aiden all walked in looking like zombies.
"They're like this every morning now." The teacher thought, "Do they stay up all night?"
Before
The before showed everyone looking normal and healthy.
After
While the after showed everybody looking sleep deprived and with heavy eye bags.
"Everyone get your homework out, please..." the teacher said.
"Let's listen to music." You pull out your wireless ear buds and listen to your playlist.
"It wouldn't hurt if I slept just for 5 minutes, would it?" You asked yourself, "I'll be fine."
RINGGG
"Crap, I slept through the lesson again." Ashlyn yawned.
She then started to look around the room.
"Looks like everybody did too."
Logan was hunched in his seat.
Ben was still napping.
In front of Ben, Aiden was playing with a rubix cube.
Beside Ben, Taylor was zoning out, and so was her twin.
Behind Tyler was you with earbuds in almost falling asleep again.
"At this rate, we're gonna fail." Ashlyn concludes, "But there's not much you can do in our situation.
Everybody packed up their things and went near Ashlyn.
"We're all eating lunch together." Aiden quickly commented.
"Y'know.. to talk about 'stuff'." Aiden hinted.
"Alright..." Ashlyn replied.
"He always says 'stuff' when he means the phantoms..." Ashlyn thought, "this should go well."
CHATTER CHATTER CHATTER
The cafeteria was as loud as ever and the silence at the table was as awkward as ever.
Everybody was chewing there food sitting in this awkward silence.
You wanted to say something but decided to stay quiet for now.
"Just as awkward as I thought it'd be." Ashlyn sighed.
Tyler then finally said something.
"I think we should go back to Savannah."
Everybody had their eyes on him.
"I thought everyone agreed it was too dangerous...?" Logan asked timidly.
"So what? We're supposed to let things stay like they are?" Tyler asked with a bit of anger in his tone.
"I'd rather stay semi-stuck than permanently stuck." Ashlyn commented.
Tyler then diverted his attention to Ashlyn.
"Well maybe if you would have told us the truth from the beginning, we wouldn't be stuck at all!" Tyler snapped back.
"I already explained why I didn't-" Ashlyn said before getting interrupted by Aiden.
"Aren't you one to talk." Aiden said looking down at his food.
"You're the one that brushed it off as a prank and walked it off." Aiden shrugged.
"If she had said anything," Aiden continued, "would you have even believed her?"
"With your personality, I seriously doubt it." Aiden finished making Tyler snap.
"WETHER I WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT OR NOT SHE SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING!" Tyler screamed getting up from the table.
"NOW WE'RE STUCK IN SOME DEMONIC DIMENSION," Tyler bursted out, "RUNNING AWAY FROM FLESH-EATING DEADLY CREATURES,"
Logan, Taylor, and you looked at him with jaws dropping to the floor.
"IVE LOST COUNT HOW MANY NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES IVE HAD," he continued shouting, "NONE OF US HAVE SLEPT IN DAYS, WE CANT TELL OUR PARENTS OR ANY—"
Ben interrupted by slamming the table.
The slam made everybody shudder in fear.
Ben averted his attention to Tyler and made a shushing motion.
Tyler then tried to calm down a bit, "if we don't go back to Savannah where this cycle begun.." he quietly continued, "then what else are we supposed to do?"
Everybody was quiet and stared down at the floor.
"As annoying as his outburst was, it's understandable." Ashlyn sighed, "if we go back, then we might find out what's happening and how to escape."
"Or we could make things much worse."
Should we risk it?
2 weeks ago
It showed Ashlyn practicing her ballet moves when her dad interrupts.
KNOCK KNOCK
Her dad then entered her room.
Ashlyn then tripped, "ACK!"
"Ow..."
"PFFT-"
"Don't."
Ashlyn rubbed her head, "what'd you want?"
Ashlyn's dad stopped laughing, "oh yeah, the bus is down the street."
"Crap, I'm not ready!"
"There's coffee on the counter if you want it." Ashlyn's dad reminded her.
Ashlyn's mom was also late so they quickly said their goodbyes and rushed out the house.
"I really should've set my alarm sooner." Ashlyn mumbled.
"Why do I feel like today isn't going to go well."
The bus
CHATTER CHATTER
"Ugh.. it's so loud." Ashlyn sighed.
She then noticed two new boys on the bus.
The yellowish greenish hair one was excitingly looking at the window while the other one was stopping him from overdoing it.
"Are they new?" She asked herself.
Ashlyn then saw another girl that sat in front of the empty seat.
"She seems nice," Ashlyn thought.
Ashlyn turned her attention to the two boys and made eye contact with the crazy one.
"Ah, we made eye contact." Ashlyn quickly looked away.
"Crap, my seat is in front of them." Ashlyn groaned, "don't talk to me, don't talk to me."
"Hi!"
The crazy one was in front of Ashlyn's face and inside her bubble.
You looked back and noticed, "damn he's really close to her face."
"GAH!" Ashlyn yelped grabbing almost everybody's attention.
SLAM
While she screamed she slammed in to the seat in front of her which was yours.
"First day and I'm already gonna get a headache." You sighed.
"Is that your house?" The crazy one asked, "what's up with the whole 'bus graveyard' thing?"
"It's a junkyard with used buses.." Ashlyn skeptically replied.
"Personal space dude, give me some."
"Thats it?" He asked hoping that there'd be something else interesting about it.
"Yeah?"
"Well that's disappointing." The crazy one bluntly said, "I was hoping for some kind of lore or paranormal jazz."
"If there's anything paranormal it's you.." you mumbled.
"Good luck finding anything here." Ashlyn exclaimed.
Silence
"Guess the conversation is over?" Ashlyn asked herself, "please be over."
"Anyways"
"So close!"
"I'm Aiden!"
"Im not interested!"
"And that's my cousin Ben." He pointed at a tall man with dark brown hair.
"We move here a week or so ago from Virginia." Aiden continued, "can't remember what town it was though."
"Oh hey, we live just a house down from you!" He gleefully said, "since we live so close,"
"We should hang out often!"
"No, no way I need to stop this progressing disaster."
"Sorry,"
"Nothing personal but, I'm a bit tired and not in much of a conversation mood."
Ashlyn announced.
"..."
"Hmm.."
"It's fine I get it." Aiden admitted.
"Finally"
"You're just shy right?"
"Huh? Hold on..."
"It's alright, I'm good at talking, so it'll be fine." Aiden said crossing his arms on the seat and laying on it.
"No I'm not shy.."
"I just want to be left alone!"
All three of them were getting off the bus while you were behind them.
YAP YAP YAP
"How do I escape?" Ashlyn asked internally.
"Hey, doesn't that girl live right across the street from us Ben?"
Ben nodded.
"Let's be friends with her too!"
Aiden and Ben walked towards you.
Ashlyn followed behind and made sure Aiden didn't do anything dumb to you since you seemed nice.
"Hey!" Aiden waved at your face.
You unplugged your earbuds and looked at him with a confused face.
"What'd you need?" You ask in a monotone voice.
"What're you listening too?" He asked.
"Here." You have give one of your earbuds.
"Ooh, I like your music taste."
"Thanks... I guess." You continued to walk not noticing that they had followed you.
Aiden still had your earbud in, but decided not to tell you since he enjoyed the music.
"Woah this is a small school." Aiden commented which startled you.
Aiden was about to continue following the two of you until Ben grabbed Aiden's collar.
Ben then pointed at the principals office informing him that they needed their schedule.
You and Ashlyn locked eyes and nodded.
"Our chance!"
You both then quickly ran away.
"We gotta pick our schedules-"
Empty
"-up?"
Aiden and Ben stood there in silence for a second.
"ha ha.. HA HA HA" Aiden started to laugh like a maniac in the middle of the hallway.
Ben looked at him with concern.
"There fast.." he noted.
"You alright?" You ask.
"Yeah, I'm fine how about you?" Ashlyn asked back.
"Good."
"I'm already so drained" Ashlyn yawned.
"INCOMING!"
"?"
A shoe then flew across the hallway barely grazing Ashlyn.
"Are you okay?!" You gasped.
"Yeah I'm fine.. but what's happening there?"
There were 4 people, 3 of them were a part of some sort of team and 1 of them looked like a girl.
"Ah, sorry!" A dude said carrying someone who was breathing fire out his mouth.
"PUT ME DOWN!"
"We were just goofing off, haha."
The shoe somehow broke the wall which you took a picture of.
A dude then bumped in to one of the red jacket dude.
"Hey watch where you're going!"
"You wanna fight?!"
"You asked for it!"
"Welcome to Highschool everyone." Ashlyn groaned.
"What class do you have Ashlyn?" You ask, "because it looks like we've been going in the same direction for a while."
"Oh, lemme check."
"201"
"Oh, looks like we're in the same class!" You say cheerfully.
"Ah!" Logan said.
He dropped his paper.
"Here." Ashlyn said giving him his paper back.
"Oh! Um," he stuttered, "thank you!"
"A puppy?"
"Ashlyn you coming?" You ask.
"Oh yeah."
"Looks like we have assigned seats," Ashlyn exclaimed, "where mine?"
"There it is"
"Too bad she sits over there.." Ashlyn sighed, "maybe we could've been friends."
Ashlyn looked at the seat near her and saw, Aiden C.
"Maybe there are two students?"
She then looked behind the seat.
Ben C.
Flashback
"And that's my cousin Ben." Aiden explained.
Flashback over
"I pretend not to see"
CHATTER CHATTER
"The teacher is late." Ashlyn commented, "I have a foreboding feeling."
"We wouldn't have been late if you would have helped instead of recording!" The male twin yelled, "sorry we're late!"
"Please don't mark us tardy!" The female twin begged.
They then paused at the door frame.
"They aren't even here yet." The taller twin groaned.
"We still have a chance!" The shorter twin cheered.
"A chance?" The teacher then appeared right behind them putting his hand on their shoulders.
"Are two of my students already late on the first day of school?" He asked.
"Just kidding!" He said making the mood lift again.
"A class rule is if we're both late and you get here before me your safe-"
"Where's your shoe"
The teacher asked looking down.
"You should find that after class."
"Yes sir." The male twin replied.
"Go ahead and find which desk has your name on it and take a seat."
The teacher and the two new students then walked up to the front of the class.
Ashlyn notices very quickly and covers herself with her arms.
"I feel bad for her." You mumbled to yourself.
Tyler was sitting in front of you and you could hear the twins bickering with each other quietly.
Aiden looked around the room and saw Ashlyn covering herself, he instantly smiled.
"Sorry I'm late everyone!" The teacher admitted, "these two are new to the school, so make sure to give them a warm welcome!"
"You guys can take a seat as well." He advised, "let's begin with introductions, shall we? We'll go in alphabetical order.
Aiden stared at Ashlyn very obviously while Ben was resting.
"Is it too late to request a class change?" She asked herself.
