A/N: after having a talk with Taurtis about his less than thrilling product idea, you and the other student arrive at school to find a horrifying sight.

You had slowly begun to open your eyes. You slowly sat up as you had awakened from another nightmare. The same nightmare you've been having for a while, in fact.

(Y/N): Ugh...... that nightmare again..... That's the freaking third time now.

You soon looked over to your clock to see what time it was. It turned out to be 5:47 A.M.

(Y/N): And this is the second time I've been woken up by that damn thing before my alarm has.

You growled under your breath and rubbed your face a bit before moving the covers off of you and slowly getting up out of bed before pressing the button on the clock just so the alarm wouldn't go off since you're already up. You then headed to the bathroom to go take a quick shower before going to change into your school uniform after finishing. After you were all done, you headed downstairs, got your stuff and even got whatever lunch Austin might have made for today since you went to bed earlier yesterday. After getting all of that, You sat down on the cough and simply waited for Austin to soon get up and do what he needed to do since his alarm had not gone off yet. As you were waiting, you just looked out one of the windows. It was pretty dark out today, arguably a bit darker than I was yesterday. You could tell it Rained a lot earlier due to how much rain drops were in the windows and with just how wet certain stuff outside was. You sat there for about 5 minutes, and during that time, Austin's alarm did go off and he got up to do all he needed to do before he headed downstairs and met with you.

Austin: Well, didn't expect you to be up so early today.

(Y/N): Yeah, got another freaking nightmare and ended up waking me up at 5:47. Figured I might as well get dressed and wait until you got up and everything.

Austin: Damn, you could have slept for a little longer till your alarm went off.

(Y/N): Eh, I thought it might spare me from the frustration of having to wake up again so soon after falling back asleep this early in the morning. I just decided to take a shower real fast and wait down here until you were up and everything.

Austin: I mean.... if you say so. We best just get going then.

(Y/N): Might want to bring your umbrella again, it looks like it rained out there earlier and I doubt it'll be the last time.

Austin: Might have guessed it would.

Austin said before getting his lunch and then the umbrella. As he did, you soon got up from the cough and the both of you soon headed out the door. While on the porch, you looked around the areas near the house to see if anyone might have been there. You wanted to be careful this time. So far, you didn't seem to have spotted anyone yet.

Austin: I doubt whoever was following us yesterday would still be somewhere around here. Especially if it rained earlier.

(Y/N): I know, I just want to be careful. That's all.

You said as Austin opened up the umbrella and the two of you soon began heading on your way to school. As the two of you were walking, you noticed as there was a distinct lack of Gareth this time around today.

Austin: Hmmmm........ that's a little bit concerning not seeing him on the sidewalk today like we usually do.

(Y/N): Well..... I guess He just hasn't gotten up yet or he already got ahead of everyone else today.

Austin: I mean maybe. But considering his condition, I have doubts about that.

As you two were talking, you were soon met up with Sam, Taurtis and Grian, along with J, running up to the both of you.

Sam: Hey guys!

Austin: Hm?

Grian: J's got some news that we all need to hear.

The both of you quickly turned around to look at them.

(Y/N): What is it?

J: Well, I spied around Gareth's house. And I kinda didn't see Gareth there at all.

(Y/N): What do you mean you didn't see him there?

J: He didn't show up. I've spied on his house for hours and he never once showed up at all. I had to pretty much call it quits after it got dark.

Austin: Are you serious right now?

Grian: Trust me, we're just as confused as you are right now.

Taurtis: We didn't even see Gareth walking with us to school with us like he usually does.

Sam: Taurtis, he doesn't walk with us to school. We usually either pass by him or watch him walk off.

Taurtis: Well, it still counts as walking with him.

Sam: Whatever. The point is that we haven't seen him at all when we were walking out and away from our house.

(Y/N): Me and Austin just had a discussion about this as well. He's probably just taking time to get up or get ahead of everyone today.

Grian: Hm... I don't think that's right.

J: Let's just talk about it on the way. I think it might start raining again soon and I'm pretty sure I heard thunder off in the distance. I much prefer not to have a repeat of yesterday.

Austin: He makes a good point. Let's continue this while we're walking.

You all agreed and continued walking on your way to school.

Sam: Grian's got a point though, that doesn't seem right. Anytime we've gotten up, we almost always see him on the sidewalk while on our way to school.

Austin: Then just what do you prompose is the reason that we've not seen Gareth amongst us and the others on our way to school at this moment, hm?

Sam: I personally think he wanted to get away from us and decided to go somewhere in order to skip school today.

Taurtis: What? That's crazy talk, Sam. Teacher Gareth loves us.

Sam: Taurtis, You made comments about his Ex-wife in front of him and even gave him those Doritos that reminded him of her. I doubt he likes you all too much.

Taurtis: Oh that? Pffft! I'm sure he's forgotten all about those.

You and Austin just looked at one another while slowly nodding your heads no.

Taurtis: Speaking of Doritos, that just reminded me. I have the greatest idea in the history of greatest ideas ever.

(Y/N): Is it a solution to world peace?

Taurtis: Oh, better than that.

(Y/N): Better than the entire world being at peace?

Taurtis: 100 times better.

(Y/N): Then please, ever so kindly tell us what this great idea is.

Taurtis was about to explain his idea, but was soon interrupted by the sound of Silly meeting up with the two of you as she usually does.

Silly: Hey guys!

(Y/N): Hello again, Silly. You came just in time.

Silly: Really?

Austin: Yes, Taurtis was just about to explain his brilliant idea which he says is even better than world peace. Weren't you, Taurtis?

Taurtis: Indeed I was. It's a business plan. You guys all know how everyone loves Doritos.

Austin: Um, yeah. I'm very aware that a lot of people love Doritos.

Silly: Though there can be a wide array of people who are the exception though.

Sam: He ESPECIALLY loves them.

Sam said as he pointed to Taurtis.

Taurtis: Yeah, exactly everyone loves them.

(Y/N): Not how it works.

Taurtis: Now what if, and here me out here on this,.......... I made my own Doritos brand.

(Y/N): So, you're just going to make any Doritos off brand ever?

Taurtis: Don't be ridiculous, this will be much better quality compared to all of those.

Austin: Do you even actually have a name for the brand you plan on making?

Taurtis: Yes I do. I call it........................ Toritos.

Silly: Oh uh.........

Silly wasn't sure if she could make any compliment at the moment.

(Y/N): Toritos... you decided to name your own chip brand based off of Doritos..... Toritos?

Taurtis: Yeah. I mean, Doritos are so last year. People want something new.

Austin: And what is supposed to be so new about it?

Taurtis: That it's called Toritos.

(Y/N): You're seriously not going to change anything with the flavor or look of them to at least try and make them unique and stand out from Doritos?

Taurtis: Nope.

Silly: What about the packaging, surely you'll change it into something else, right?

Grian: See, we asked him that exact same thing.....

Taurtis: Yeah, I'll change it. It'll just be called Toritos instead.

(Y/N): Uuuuugh..... Taurtis, you are literally closer to getting sued and getting sent to court than any other company that had created their own off brand or knock off of Doritos ever could!

Taurtis: What are you guys talking about? It's just going to be called Toritos. It'll be totally different. I'll put my own branding on it. There's no way I'll get sued over all that.

Austin: That's not how that works! There are requirements that you need to do, certain things that need to be done in order to prevent you from getting sued up the ass! The only thing that you have bothered to change was just the name and even then it's not any different or original! It's Arguably Even More Insulting Than The Off Brand Doritos That Don't Have Much Of The Cheesy Flavor!

(Y/N): Austin, calm down. We talked about what happens when you speak about some of the off brands.

Silly: (Y/N)'s right, just relax and you'll be alright.

Austin: All I'm Saying Is, WHAT'S THE POINT OF MAKING AN OFF BRAND OF DORITOS IF THE OFF BRAND HARDLY EVEN HAVE ANY CHEESY FLAVOR THAT DORITOS ARE LITERALLY KNOWN FOR HAVING?!?!?!?!?!

After Austin had screamed out in anger, you and the others had stopped in place with him as he was huffing in anger. You all gave him a minute or two to try and relax himself before You slowly placed a hand on his shoulder.

(Y/N): You good now, buddy?

Silly: Just take a nice deep breath and relax.

Austin soon listened to Silly before taking a long deep breath and exhaling back out.

Austin: Alright..... I'm good.

J: You sure.

Austin: Yeah, I'm good. I'm really good.

He said before all continued one again on your way to school while Taurtis kept on rambling about his business idea.

Taurtis: You guys will see. Once I get them ready and begin selling them, my product will be even more famous and loved than Doritos ever could. And I'll be filthy rich. I won't ever have to go to school again. I even have J as an Investor. I know he's got my back.

J: You guys think I should probably start finding Taurtis a lawyer?

J asked Sam and Grian while carefully whispering his question to the both of them.

Grian: Probably best you should.

As you guys continued walking, you soon started to take notice of a boy glaring over at you and the others. Particularly Sam. The boy had middle length brown hair with big eyebrows as well as a purple cap on his head. This boy was Dom Rao. He wasn't present for school during the first few days, mostly due to his attitude and overall contempt with going. While some people might say You and Sam were rivals, the stuff between Sam and Dom were mostly definitely enemies.

(Y/N): Ah shit....

Sam: What?

(Y/N): Look who seems to be finally showing up for school.

You said before Sam and the others looked over as well to see Dom. Sam let out a frustrated sigh when he saw him.

Sam: Ah crap. Not Dom. I was actually hoping he wouldn't be coming to school this year.

Grian: Well, Dom might not be bright, but it still seems like he at least wants to try and graduate. I'm still surprised he managed to get this far honestly.

Taurtis: Dude, you think he knows about the online stuff between You and Invader?

Sam soon realized this and started to freak out.

Sam: Oh crap! God, that must be why he decided to show up today. He must have caught on to what had happened and now he's gonna be onto me!

Silly: Well, it doesn't seem like he's trying anything right now. So, you might be good at the moment.

Sam: Yeah, but I don't want Dom's eyes on me the entire time we're walking to school.

(Y/N): Well, If you really want to get Dom off your trail, you could probably try losing him in the store while a couple of the other students are in there right now.

Sam: That's a pretty good idea actually.

After you all approached the store; Sam, Taurtis, Grian and J soon entered inside the store, which looked like it had gotten a bit bigger on the inside, in an attempt to lose Dom. Dom soon entered inside and started looking for them. You, Austin and Silly simply continued on your way to school as it slowly began dripping and the sound of thunder could be heard a lot more.

(Y/N): By the time Dom finds out, they'll probably have already given him the slip inside the school. He was always more of the "muscle" over brains type.

Silly: And he is quite ill tempered and cruel.

Austin: If he tries insulting or even bullying Gareth, who's already in a bad enough state, I'll dangle him outside one of the windows.

(Y/N): Okay, very funny, Austin.

Austin:..................................................

Silly: Um...... I think he might be serious........

Austin: Look, Dom has a history of making fun of and targeting people even when they're already having a rough time. He's not pulling that shit this time.

(Y/N): I mean yeah, I'm not gonna let him try to do that either, but I'm certainly not gonna try and threaten his life like that.

Austin: Well, I guess depending on what Dom chooses to do will depend on what I'll do to him.

He said as you all kept on walking as usual. As you were soon reaching the school entrance, Austin looked over and saw Alex soon walk by the three of you. Austin glared a bit while she was giving a light smirk before speaking to You.

Alex: Hey.

(Y/N): Uh........ hey. Need something, Alex?

Alex: Just coming by to say I saw you talking with that new girl, Chan, yesterday. And you were sure to act like a stuttering mess.

(Y/N): Yeah, thanks for reminding me of that. -_-

Alex: No problem. Piece of advice though, if you're going to try to ask Chan to hang out with you. Try to think positive thoughts and take deep breaths and go it slow when talking to her.

(Y/N): Why yes thank you, that thought never came to my mind. Thank you so much.

You said sarcastically.

Alex: Just doing the best that I can for you.

Austin: Don't you have a post to go make somewhere?

Alex: Oop! Gotta go!

She said before separating from the three of you and went to hang and chat with the rest of the students as they waited for the bell to ring. As you all entered inside, Austin soon lowered his Umbrella and folded it up.

Austin: I think I'm gonna wait upstairs until the bell rings this time around.

(Y/N): Same here.

Silly: I'll just wait down here. I'm just gonna go chat with some of our fellow classmates for a little bit until the bell rings.

(Y/N): Alright, we'll see you in class then.

You said as You and Austin soon headed up the stairs to the second floor.

(Y/N): Wasn't expecting Alex to approach me about what had happened about what went on yesterday.

Austin: Yeah, couldn't imagine why she would approach you about that.

(Y/N): Oh, I'm sure you might know very well why she would, Austin.

Austin: Wh.... What? What are you implying there, buddy.

(Y/N): Austin, we've been close friends for years. You're usually not very good at trying to pretend like you're not hiding something from me.

Austin: W.... Well uh......... What do you have to prove this?

(Y/N): Well, first there was the fact that it looked like you and Alex were whispering something to each other yesterday, the fact you glared at her when she approached and brought up yesterday and the fact that you are both sweating and stuttering about me finding out.

Austin:.........................Fuck...............

(Y/N): I'm not mad. Kinda figured you would do something like this. Though, I kinda didn't expect you to try and team up with Alex to try hooking me up with Chan.

Austin: I'd hardly consider it a team up. It's more of just a mutual agreement to try and help you hook up with her. At least as long as she's giving good advice anyways.

He explained as the two of you had reached the second floor by this point.

(Y/N): Look, I really do appreciate that you're trying to do all of that to help me out. But it's no big problem, man. This is just something that's gonna need to take a little time. Whenever me and Chan have some time alone to talk, don't worry too much. Just let me.......

Chan: Hey (Y/N).

You soon stopped in place and then looked over your shoulder to see Chan heading up the stairs behind you. A light blush began to form on your face as you saw this happen.

(Y/N): Oh, H... Hey Chan.

Chan: Do you have a minute? I was hoping if I could ask you something for a second.

(Y/N): Uh... sure.

Austin: I think I'll just leave you two alone then while I'll just stand near the classroom waiting for the bell to ring.

Austin said as he started to walk off to the direction of Gareth's classroom. But not before giving a slight thumbs up to you, much to your annoyance a little.

(Y/N)'s mind: She certainly picked a real coincidental time to show up out of the blue.

(Y/N): So, what do you want to speak with me about?

Chan: Well, remember when you said that maybe we can hang out this weekend?

(Y/N): Yeah......

(Y/N)'s mind: Oh god, she's going to want to call it off, isn't she?! I should have suggested something else!

Chan: Well, I was wondering if we could go to a movie that weekend as part of our hang out at that time.

(Y/N): Oh r... really?

Chan: Yeah, I thought it could be fun just to sit around and watch a movie.

As this conversation was going on, the sounds of thunder rumbling and heavy rain hitting the roof of the school could be heard from outside. But they were of little concern to really anyone since they were just either busy talking to each other or their own business.

(Y/N): ...Yeah sure. I'd love to go to the movies. What kind of movie did you have in mind?

Chan: Well, I was thinking of checking out to see what they had before choosing.

(Y/N): Oh sure, we can do that. I'm really looking forward to this weekend.

You and Chan smiled at one another as your blush only turned a slight darker shade on your face. Chan soon noticed something as she glanced to the side before then speaking to you.

Chan: Um....... is he alright over there?

She asked while soon pointing over to Austin's direction. You soon looked over as well and saw Austin just standing there from the entrance of Gareth's room, with a shocked expression on his face as he was looking.

(Y/N): Austin?

You soon began walking over to Austin. As you approached him, the sounds of thunder and the flashing of lightning became a bit more prominent. With you getting closer, you started to notice that the lights in Gareth's room were off.

(Y/N): What the....... why would he have the lights to his classroom off at this time right now?

As you were close enough, you soon saw that Austin's face was giving off a horrified expression rather than a shocked one.

(Y/N): Austin........?

The only response that Austin had given was lightly raising his finger in the direction of Gareth's classroom. Even then, his arm and hand were shaking due to what he saw. You soon slowly turned your gaze to Gareth's darkened room. At first, you couldn't see anything due to the lights being off in there and it being pretty dark outside. However, After a flash of lightning brightened up the room for a moment or so, you were able to get a good look at what had Austin in his shocked state. And now, you were quickly getting the same feeling as him. Inside of the classroom was Gareth, lifeless as his body was hanging from the ceiling by a rope around his neck.

(Y/N): Oh..... My... G......G... God.......

Chan noticed the two of you just standing there and soon walked over to the both of you as she started getting concerned. As she did, the bell soon rang and all the other students started walking up the stairs.

Chan: Are you two okay? You look like you've just seen....

She soon looked over to the direction of Gareth's room as well and one strike of lightning later, she saw the same thing that the two of you had seen. Seeing this horrible sight had caused her to let out a terrified scream.

Chan: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The scream echoed through the school, getting the attention of everyone inside. The other students soon quickly ran up the stairs and hurried over to the three of you to see what was wrong.

Review: What's wrong? We all heard Chan screaming just now!

Chan: I.... In there!

She said, referring to Gareth's darkened classroom. Some of them looked at the darkened room before Xiran started approaching.

Xiran: Odd, why does Gareth have his lights off.

He soon moved his body through the entrance to the room a bit and flipped the switch to turn on the lights to see. And when he did, he along with all of the other students looked in the same horror as you did with a couple letting out gasps that filled the air for a moment or two.

Xiran: Wh...... What the hell?!

Lando: He's dead!

Invader: Oh... my... god!

Taurtis: What?!

Grian: Oh, good lord.

Ghost: I...... I think I'm going to be sick.

Sam soon entered the room slowly, moving closer near Gareth's dead body to get a closer look.

Sam: Teacher Gareth.......?

You all slowly entered as well with him.

Austin: I.... I don't believe it. After every time we've seen him, everything that he said whenever we left the class..... he..........

(Y/N): He was planning to take his own life......

Sam: He.... He freaking hung himself?!

Santiago: I knew the guy was depressed. But I didn't think he would actually go through with...... suicide.

Invader: Sam, I'm scared.

Sam: Go away, Invader.

He said as Invader wanted to nearly cry next to him.

Taurtis: We should have known. I mean...... all the signs were there.

Sam: Wh... What could we have done?

Grian: Oh, I don't know. Maybe tried acting nicer to him, cheering him up from his depression so he doesn't hang himself in his own freaking class?!

Alex: Now isn't the time for this, you stooges!

Rowan: WHAT'S WITH ALL THE SCREAMING?!

Rowan yelled out as he had reached the top second floor and was approaching Gareth's class due to having heard Chan's screams from earlier as well. You soon walked out the room and turned to him, with your horrified expression still intact for him to notice.

Rowan: WHAT IS IT, MAGGOT?

(Y/N): It.... it's Gareth..........

Rowan: WHAT ABOUT HIM?

He asked before You soon just stood out of the way for Rowan to walk past you and into the classroom to see for himself. Once inside, Rowan looked in absolute shock to Gareth's lifeless hanging body.

Rowan: OH, DEAR GOD! CLEAR OUT MAGGOTS! NOW! GO! GO! GO!

All of the students exited out of the classroom and back out into the hallway. They all talked among each other about the situation.

Ghost: Why didn't he tell us?

Lando: We could've helped him.

Review: He probably didn't want us to worry about him and to keep us from stopping him.

Alex: Even then, with all that's happened to him, I don't think there's much that we could have done for him.

Ellen: I'm afraid she's right, Gareth's fate was unfortunately sealed.

Invader: Sam, can I cry on your shoulder please?

Sam looked at Invader before letting out a sigh of defeat.

Sam:........... Fine. Cry on my shoulder.

Sam said in reluctance before Invader soon cried on his shoulder, much to his dismay and Dom's jealousy.

Dom: Stay away from my girl!

Invader soon looked at Dom and approached him.

Invader: Dom, no......

You just stood there in the hall, still traumatized from what you and Austin had seen. What shook you out of this traumatized state a bit was when Chan soon held you close and cried against your chest. You looked down at her and held her close, doing what you could to try and comfort her.

Review: If I may suggest, we should probably get out of the school, they'll likely have police here with a coroner to take Gareth's body away and tape up the room.

Austin: He..... He's right. It's best if we were out of here while they're taking it.

He said before everyone headed down stairs to the first floor and approached the entrance. However, once you all got there, a police officer arrived at the entrance of the school.

???: Halt, Students! Stop in the name of the law!

Invader: Daddy!

(Y/N) & Austin: Oh no.

Lando: You have got to be fucking kidding me right now. 😐

You and some of the other students looked in annoyance to see Paul Blart, Invader's father and the local cop around Buraza Town, show up. To put things simply, you found Paul to be pretty incompitent when it comes to his job.

Paul Blart: I just want you all to know that I am a new student. Not a cop. Just needed to get that out there. Anyway, I was close to the school when I got the call about the issue. It would appear to be that there has been a murder here.

Logan: he says despite looking like he was in his 40s.

Logan casually whispered to Ghost and Review.

Sam: Wait, I don't think it was a murder, I'm pretty sure it was a suicide.

Paul Blart: That'll do, talking bunny. I have some questions I would like to ask you all.

Taurtis: What's the question?

Paul Blart: Where were you two on Saturday the 9th at 10 PM?

He asked both Sam and Taurtis.

Taurtis: Isn't that when we broke into Gar......

Sam: SHHHHHHHH! Gamecrab! We were playing Gamecrab!

Paul Blart: Gamecrab hmm?

Sam: Yes!

Grian: Yep! That's all we were doing. Just some good old Gamecrab.

Paul Blart: Is that some sort of drug. I ask that as a fellow student since I am clearly not a cop.

You, Austin and a small handful of the other students sent either glares or looks of annoyance at Paul.

(Timeskip).

After asking all his questions, Paul let you all leave the school. Sam, Taurtis and Grian were at their house along with J. They were currently planning with each other on trying to figure out on how they were going to steal the robot from CrabManCarl's shop tonight.

Sam: Okay guys, we need a plan on how to steal that robot without drawing any sort of attention.

Grian: Even if I actually agreed to this idea, how exactly would we be able to do it with Paul Blart walking around now. We would need to take care of him first.

J: I can help you guys out with the robot, only if you do one favor for me.

Sam: What's the favor?

Taurtis: Ugh.... we just got back from school though.

Sam: Yeah, but we didn't actually do anything at school at all. We had to leave early.

Taurtis: Oh yeah.

Grian: What's the favor?

J: I want you to steal ChanYandere's panties.

Taurtis:........ Oh. 😶

Grian: You cannot be serious.

Sam: This is a little out of the blue for you, J.

Grian: Why though? Do you have a weird thing for her? If so, I should warn you that (Y/N) might already be trying, if not is already with her.

J: I need it for research.

Sam & Taurtis: What kind of research?

Sam: you gonna clone her or something?

J: it's for science. I swear.

Sam: Okay, I understand. We gotcha dude. We got your back.

Taurtis: Wait... where does she live though?

J: Don't worry guys, I'll show you.

Sam: Okay then, lead the way.

J walked out of their house, with the 3 of them following behind him.

Grian: I cannot believe I'm going to help them with something like this.

(Meanwhile).

While Sam and the others were heading to Chan's place to try and steal her panties, You and Austin were just sitting back at your house, still distraught over the sight of Gareth's dead body.

Austin: Fuck........... Our first year of high school...... and it's already come off to a bad start for everyone. So more than others...........

He said as he let out a saddened sigh and looked down. Silence was all there was in the room for quite a while. Eventually the silence was broken when you spoke.

(Y/N): I...... I should have spoken with him more.

Austin: Huh?

(Y/N): Gareth, I only ever talked to him once when he was down. Maybe if.........

Austin: Dude, don't say it like that. What was happening with Gareth was out of our control.

(Y/N): I know, but...... Maybe if I had talked with him more even before yesterday to try and make him feel better, then..... then maybe he wouldn't have taken his life.

Austin: I know, buddy. But I don't think there was much either of us could do.

(Y/N): I suppose.......

You replied while sighing.

Austin: Look, I think the best that we're able to do from this point is to continue with our own lives and try to move on the best that we can while being respectful of Gareth's passing.

There was mostly silence for the most part once again. The only sounds that were heard was either just the light sounds of birds outside or one of the appliances in the house. The silence was only finally cut off when your phone started to ring. You picked it up and looked to see who it was. You sighed lightly as if it was your mother calling, though just because it says that, it was likely both of your parents calling you from the same phone.

Austin: Who is it?

(Y/N): Mom and Dad.

You said before answering and speaking.

(Y/N): Hello?

(Y/M/N): (Y/N), we just saw the news about what happened at your school. Are you alright?

(Y/N): Ye.... Yes, I'm fine.

(Y/F/N): Are you sure? Is there anything that you need?

(Y/N): I'm fine really. It's just gonna take some time to get over all of this.

(Y/F/N): Son, are you absolutely sure?

(Y/N): Yes. I'm positive.

(Y/M/N): Well...... alright....... Me and your father are going to try and come home early today. If you need anything, just let us know.

(Y/N): I'm fine for right now..... but thanks.

(Y/M/N): Alright. If we manage to leave early, we'll see you soon then.

(Y/N): Alright. Bye.

(Y/M/N) & (Y/F/N): Bye.

After that, you soon hung up and placed the phone down before sighing once again while resting your head on your hands. You just continued to sit on the couch for a bit before getting up soon.

(Y/N): I'm gonna go to bed for a bit.

Austin: You're going to sleep early again?

(Y/N): No, I just really need to lay down for a while after all of this. Maybe for an hour or two..... or three.

Austin: Well, alright. Just be sure to at least get up every once in a while.

(Y/N): Alright, alright.

You replied to Austin while heading up the stairs to your room. Once you had headed into your room, Austin's own phone started to ring. He picked it up and saw that Jasper was calling.

Austin: Guess he saw the news about it as well.

He said before answering the phone.

Austin: Hello?.............. Don't worry, I'm alright. Well, as alright as you could get in this type of situation anyways....... Yeah..... (Y/N)'s been taking it pretty rough though................ I know.... hopefully he'll get better soon enough.

(Timeskip).

You were currently just sitting up in your room after having had dinner with your parents a little while ago. You were just currently on your computer minding your own business until you soon saw something show up in your notifications. You checked to see what it was and saw that it was a group chat thing.

(Y/N): Oh boy, I wonder what this is about.

You said before clicking on it and you were soon greeted by Alex, Ghost, Logan, Review, Lando, Xiran, Santiago and Jason on several small screens.

(Y/N): Hey..... guys......

Alex: Look, I know this might be a bit sudden for us to be doing this with you what with everything that's happened today. But, we all talked with each other and decided on maybe talking with you just a little bit to maybe try and talk with you. You know, to help you feel better.

(Y/N): Guys, I appreciate that you're willing to do that but......

Ghost: Look, we insist. You looked arguably the roughest out of everyone there where you saw that body and we got worried.

(Y/N): Guys, really. I do appreciate your concern and everything. But I'm gonna be honest. It's just been most of the stuff that's been happening this week that's been bothering me. Seeing the dead body of Gareth was pretty much a near tipping point.

Xiran: Wait, what do you mean?

(Y/N): Well, aside from some of the shit Sam and Taurtis have been pulling for some of the few days, but I've been having these strange nightmares that have been waking me up a few times and there might have been someone following me and Austin yesterday. Maybe even before that as well.

Alex: Wait...... what?

(Y/N): Well, for the person following me and Austin thing, it's really more that I've been having this feeling during our walks home and yesterday we heard something snap behind us and we quickly booked it out of there before we could get a look.

Logan: Why didn't you tell anyone?

(Y/N): After the day that I had yesterday, I pretty much wanted to go to sleep earlier that day. I was going to eventually say about it today until..... you know.

Xiran: Oh......

(Y/N): And even had that not happened, I doubt much could have been done about it. Most of what Paul did today shows that.

Review: Fair point. But did whoever this person might be doing this attempt to follow you today?

(Y/N): As far as I know, no. I usually seem to have this feeling when we're being followed. But, I haven't had any such feelings today.

Review: Well, hopefully you're able to get that situation taken care of if police help likely won't be an option.

(Y/N): So do I......

Jason: What about this nightmare stuff you've mentioned. I mean, I've had my fair share of bad dreams too, but they usually don't stress me out too much.

(Y/N): Well, it's more of a reoccurring nightmare. Just after the very first day of school, I've been having just about the exact same nightmare. In my nightmare, I wake up outside. But things are different. The skies are colored red and the ground is mostly covered up in a darkened black color. On the ground itself is a massive pile of corpses that were nearly everywhere. Standing right onto the pile, there's a shadowy figure that appeared to be feminine in the appearance of their body shape. In their hand is a knife that's soaked in blood. I'm never able to tell what their face looks like since it's mostly covered in darkness. All I do know is that their hair may or may not be a bit puffy looking. And every time, she gets real close to me and I swear it looks like she's about to kiss me or something. I'm not sure because my dream usually ends from there.

Santiago: Well....... that's certainly one hell of a nightmare.

(Y/N): Another thing about my nightmare is when I try to ask who this person is, they only reply saying "You don't need to worry about that right now~".

Ghost: Maybe it's just one of those random occurrences, they eventually stop after a certain point. Did you happen to watch anything suspicious before going to bed?

(Y/N): Not really. Not anything that could prompt a dream like that. And even if I did, why now would a dream like that start coming to my mind?

Alex: Well, the first year of high school can be a bit stressful I guess. Maybe it's all that stress from whatever you were feeling from the first day of school that might have been a catalyst or something. And whatever the two of them, and maybe even Grian to an extent, have been during the other days didn't help.

(Y/N): Yeah...... Now that you mention that, the boys have actually been doing some pretty interesting stuff this year. It involves Gareth.

Xiran: Oh good god, did those idiots indirectly cause him to go suicide?!

(Y/N): No, but.... they were the guys who broke into his house.

Ghost: Figured.

Jason: Why would they go and break into his house in the first place?

(Y/N): Well, Apparently someone broke into their place and stole some "Anime DVDs". They even left a note saying that they had their stuff and had to pay whoever stole it to get it back. So, one of them made the assumption that Gareth was the one who did it and they, along with J, snuck over to his house to get them.

Review: Oh good lord, did they really need to drag J along in one of their stupid antics?

(Y/N): But that's not it. Once they were over there, they made an unusual discovery over there.

Logan: What kind of discovery?

(Y/N): Well...... sometime inside, they told me and Austin that they had found blood inside of the house.

Alex: I'm sorry, did you just say that they went into Gareth's house and found blood.

(Y/N): Yes. Blood and bones. But the bones part was likely an exaggeration from Taurtis since no one else but him even saw them.

Review: Oh come on, you really didn't believe them about the blood, did you?

(Y/N): At first, no. And even after J showed me the pictures, I'm still kinda conflicted on it.

Logan: Alright, but do you even have these pictures with you to back up what the boys claimed they saw.

(Y/N): Well, for some strange, yet oddly coincidental reason, J had sent me the photos of the blood to me last night.

Ghost: Not even going to ask why he did that.

You soon set up a display on your computer for everyone in the chat to see and soon set up the pictures for them to see.

Alex: Oh uh........ that does look kinda real. A little anyway.

Xiran: So, this blood was found inside of Gareth's house.

(Y/N): Yeah, Sam went as far as making the suggestion that this all belonged to Jane and that Gareth killed her. But considering how depressed he was about her missing, we were skeptical about that. Especially with what just happened today.

Lando: Maybe his depression caused him to maybe act a little......

Lando soon moved his finger around in a circular motion while pointing next to his head.

Review: Highly unlikely. No offense, but even when he was angry, Gareth didn't seem like he'd be kind of a threat. I think maybe something else happened.

Alex: Like what?

Review: What if someone planted the blood and bones inside his house?

Jason: You mean like someone just put some type of blood or something that looked very similar in his house as a joke or something.

Review: I mean, it's only a theory. Gareth isn't really the kind of person who would kill. Plus, with how much Dom liked to fuck with Gareth back then, this was probably a little prank by him just to fuck with him and the boys just happened to have stumbled upon it.

Ghost: I mean, yeah. This could easily be a prank from Dom, but that little monkey is never known for being thorough. He would have been loud as hell once inside that house.

Jason: Okay, but who would go and leave blood inside Gareth's place then?

(Y/N): I don't know. Maybe someone.......

Before you could say anything else, you soon heard sounds coming from outside. The sound in particular sounded like it was coming from Sam, Taurtis, Grian and J.

(Y/N): Uh..... I'll be right back, guys.

You said before getting up from your chair, headed out of your room and down the stairs to see what was going on. As you were, Austin and your parents took notice of the noise as well.

(Y/F/N): What's all that noise out there?

Austin: Judging from the voices I'm hearing, I can only guess on who it is.

Austin said as he got up and the two of you opened up the door before heading outside to see what was happening. Your parents also stood outside the door to see what was happening as well.

Sam: Everything's gone horribly wrong!

J: RUN!

Taurtis: AHHHH!

Grian: I TOLD YOU THIS WAS A BAD IDEA!

The four of the boys were being chased down the street by CrabManCarl's store cleaning robot, Mezaka. During the boys' attempt to steal it, they accidently turned it on, and once they tried to turn it off from it's cleaning mode, they accidently turned it to kill mode instead.

(Y/N): Of course those idiots would try to steal that stupid robot!

Sam: Get back to the house!

Sam panicked as he and the boys continued running.

(Y/M/N): Is that the shop owner's robot chasing them?

Austin: Indeed, it is.

As the robot continued to chase the boys, Paul Blart soon appeared on the scene and yelled to the robot to halt.

Paul Blart: Stop right there, criminal scum!

He said as the robot didn't comply and only continued chasing them. This caused Paul to pull out his gun and begin shooting the robot. Some of the bullets bounced off the outside of the robot, prompting You and Austin to back up near the door but to avoid getting hit by any stray bullets. However, Mezaka soon started to malfunction as some of the bullets mangled to hit a couple of wires, damage certain functions and even get stuck in between some of the gears that help the robot in it's mobility. All of this caused the robot to shake and spark up before it exploded to bits. It's head soon crashed back down to the ground, now a full metallic ball of fire.

Taurtis: No, we were going to use that robot for our business!

Sam: Yeah, but he kinda saved us though.

Paul Blart: Paul Blart saves the day.

Grain: Um.... thanks?

Sam: Yeah, thank you, Paul Blart.

Taurtis: You butthead!

Paul Blart: Don't worry boys, I was a cop this whole time.

Sam: Wow, really? I didn't think of that.

Taurtis: What?

Grian: Oh yeah, I could have never seen that coming.

They said, clearly being sarcastic.

Paul Blart: Yep! Sure fooled you all. Now then, Good night boys. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Don't tell everyone else though.

He said before he walked off.

Taurtis:............... I don't like him.....

You, Austin and your parents continued to look at the area of the scene that had just played out before you all.

Austin: I can certainly say that never in all my years did I ever think I would see an incompetent cop somehow manage to blow up a store cleaning robot that's likely going to cost CrabManCarl mega millions.

You soon closed your eyes and took a deep breath before opening them back up and talked to yourself.

(Y/N): Heaven help us for the year that's ahead of us this time.

You said before you all soon headed back inside and you headed back upstairs to your room. You lightly rubbed the bridge of your nose as you sat back down.

Jason: soooooo................. What happened out there?

(Y/N): Mention the boys at all and something is bound to happen.

Alex: Well, what happened?

(Y/N): Let's just say that we're not going to be seeing that store robot anymore.
