I'm so sorry for the wait for this chapter. I was a bit busy with a few things and I was just lazy AF to write this but here I am. Thank you for being so patient. :) <3

My eyes tried to avoid all the looks and stares I was getting from my classmates and other students. I could eat my heartbeat ringing in my ears. My face was probably pale and I felt like a embarrassed wreck. How could they have heard everything that happened? Maybe they were afraid of the man running into the bus. Maybe they were worried about me. No one was, no one ever was, except for my friends of course. But it's just strange to have all the attention all of a sudden. Usually I'm okay with all of my class looking at me but this was three whole classes, piled in a big group, most likely waiting for me to speak. "Coming though, move along there's nothing to see!" Aria was shoving her way though to the front. She wrapped her arm around me, blocking my view of everyone. "Thanks," I muttered, "Don't worry about it." She replied. She didn't look up at anyone either, silence was erupting. Only foot steps and shuffling on the pavement. "Class, we discussed your dorm groups and dorms. Please get your things and head into your room." Mrs. Hamminghoods voice almost echoed though the silence. "What are you waiting for? Go on!" Nudging students forward. Aria's grip tightened on me and we almost ran into our house. Two houses with multiple rooms for a large amount of people. The whole grade is separated into two groups. To be honest I expect to go on a trip to I dunno maybe Florida or something. Something huge. "Tory! Are you okay?" Zaiden ran up to us, breathing heavily. "Yeah," I say, the yeah coming off as a ehh sound. "What happened?" He asked, placing his hand on my shoulder. "I'll tell you later." I say, still looking down at the ground. I take my hand and take Zaiden's hand off my shoulder, it falls to his side. "Listen, Tory. You know you can tell me anything right?" Grabbing my hand again. "Enough is enough, Zaiden. She clearly doesn't wanna talk to you right now. She needs her space respect it." Aria is usually complaining about how we are gonna die. She hasn't been that confident and protective of me lately. I appreciate but I just wanna crawl into a space corner and stay there. Forever. As we enter the room I set my things down and claim the bed farthest from the door, again. I just feel lost. I lost so many people in such a short amount of time. Maryam and Jai and. . . Hayden. Zaiden didn't do anything but I would rather not surround myself with people at this time. I burst into tears, Aria with her eyebrows furrowed, confused. She didn't know what had happened. I wish I could just tell her but I'm lost in deep thoughts of darkness. The door creaks open and Hayden stood there, frowning. "Hayden, where are you?" Zaiden asked, he pushed his hand aside and sat down forcefully next to me. "Hayden, are you okay?" Aria asked, "I don't wanna talk about it." He muttered, "what the heck is going on?" Jai entered, "Shut up, Jai." Aria said, exiting the room silently. Every else followed. And I was left with the person sitting next to me. "I should probably leave you alone so I don't hurt you even more." He said starting to stand up. "It's fine," I sigh, "I'm sorry I'm leaving you like this but it's too late, my parents already bought the house and I already have my stuff packed. Maybe we'll see each other in high school?" He looked at me, eyes glossy, about to cry. It would be the second time I would see him cry ever. "I wish, my parents planned for me to go to the high school near here, sorry." I kept my eyes down at my hands, rubbing and cracking my knuckles. "If I ever see you again, remember this face." His finger circled his face. "This ugly face or this pretty face?" I asked, his face erupted into a smile, "whichever one you see." His hand held the side of my cheek, I watched him closely. He's doing it again, if he's leaving so soon I don't wanna be so attached to him. My eyes roamed the room, avoiding his gaze. Where ever I looked he followed until all I could see was him. Hayden's dirty blonde hair sweeping to the side. He moved closer to me. I could feel his warm breath on my face. "Hey," I turned my face to stare at Tiffany, grinning from ear to ear. "Eheheheh, where did everyone go?" She asked, a bit embarrassed. "Ummmm, see you later?" She said, slamming the door shut. I stand up quickly and grab a jacket and put it on, "Wait! Tory!" I turn around my hand on the door knob, "Will I ever see you again?" He started to walk towards me, "I-I don't know," I stutter, "please." A slight slur in his voice, "w-we will see." I turn the door knob and run out into the woods. Students were settling in to their dorms and the teachers were probably talking in the cafeteria. I felt like there was an echo to my footsteps. After I take a few steps, a few steps follow after I stop. As I walked faster the echos were fast but then, as I speed walk the foot steps got faster I ran. Someone's hand was on my shoulder and I was only able to let out a scream before I blacked out.
