{ (y/n) = your name. }

"Why's your mom here?" Mike asked once we grouped up.

"I don't know but she was home when we saw the body," I told them and everybody gathered around the coffin. We all walked up together, I carried a white rose as the priest gave out his speech. Dustin nudged us three. Pointing at Jennifer Hayes, one of wills first crushes, why she here anyways?

"Can't wait to tell will that Jennifer Hayes was crying at his funeral," dustin said but was shushed by karen so we shut up. The mans speech came to an end and people threw in their flowers. Including mine.

We all got to a place were we talked and ate since if it was a real funeral the day would drag.

"Look he's over there," lucas whispered an pointed to over where mr. Clarke and all headed to him.

"Mr.Clarke?" Mike asked and the teacher paused what he was doing and faced towards us.

"Oh hey there," he said and dustin reached for a nilla wafer. "How're you guys holding up?" He asked and we thought of something to say.

"We're, in mourning," lucas said pausing slightly between his words. It went silent or a moment as he nodded his head.

"Man, these aren't real nilla wafers," dustin blurted out looking at the wafer in his hand and he ate it, the three of us looked at him slowly, going from lucas, mike then me to give him the face of 'idiot'.

"We were wondering if you had time to talk?" Mike asked, and lucas quickly added.

"We've got some questions," lucas said and mike jumped in.

"A lot, of questions," mike said and mr. Clarke led us to a table and sat us down. "So you know in cosmos, people talk about other dimensions?like beyond our world?" Mike questioned and Mr. Clarke nodded.

"Yeah sure, theoratically," he said and lucas sighed.

"Right so, theoratically, how do we travel there?" He asked and Mr. Clarke scrunched his lips to the right.

"You've guys have been thinking about Hugh everts mini worlds interpretation haven't you?" He asked us and we looked at each other, wondering what to say. "Well," he started grabbing a plate and clicking a pen he took from his suit pocket. "picture an acrobat, standing on a tight rope," he continued and drew to uneven lines to suggest the tight rope and a stick man on the tight rope. "Now the tight rope is our dimension, and our dimension has rules," he continued and drew two arrows pointing outwards. "You can move forwards or backwards," he told us pointing at the same directions as the arrows. "But what if next to our acrobat, there's a flea," he said and drew a small dot next to the acrobat. "Now the flea can also travel back and forth just like our acrobat, right?" He asked and we all nodded.

"Right," we all said and he continued.

"Now here's where thing get really interesting," he told us and grinned. "The flea can also travel this way, along the side of the rope," he said, drawing an arrow across the tight-rope. "Along the side of the rope, even underneath the rope," he told us and it suddenly clicked inside of our heads.

"Upside-down," we all said and clarke nodded.

"Exactly," he told as and mike spoke up.

"But we're not the flea we're the acrobat," he said, slightly asking in his voice.

"In this metaphor yes, we're the acrobat,"

"So we can't go upside down?" Lucas asked and all our focus towards him.

"No,"

"Well is there anyway for the acrobat to get to the upside-down?" Dustin asked.

"Well, you'd have to create a massive amount of energy, more than humans are currently able of creating, to open up some sort of tear in time and space," he said, forming his lips in a line. "And then," he continued, folding the plate and and poking the pen through the plate. "You create a doorway," he finished, putting the plate to the side and his pen back into his pocket.

"Like a gate," dustin said and Mr. Clarke nodded.

"Yeah, but this is all-" he started but was cut off by lucas.

"Theoratical," he said.

"But what if this gate already existed?" Mike asked and the teacher thought for a bit.

"Well if it did, I'd think we'd know, it would disrupt gravity an magnetic field heck, it could even swallow us whole," he said. "Science is neat, but it's not very forgiving," he told us and we looked at each other.

"Eleven," I mouthed to mike and he nodded.

"Thank you Mr. Clarke, we've gotta go now," mike thanked an we all got out of our seats and jogged out of the building.

"(Y/n)!" I heard someone yell my name, I see the boys look at me worried but I turned to see who it was.

"Mom?" I asked and she came forward.

"Where're you going?" She asked, and I stood up straight.

"To mikes house, is that okay?" I asked and she nodded, kissing my forehead.

"Go have fun!" She said to me and I quickly ran off. The boys got in the their bikes but I realised I didn't bring mine.

"Get on the back of mine," mike said, patting the back of his seat, I quickly hopped on and he began riding, the boys rode next to him.
