Chapter 2
As I walked to same old bus stop I couldn't stop wondering what was up with Annabeth and her phone, then it dawned on me maybe she was running out of credit so she couldn't actually take the call and was just phoning me so that I would phone back which made sense but then when I had phoned her back she didn't answer, which was I have said before wasn't that well odd.
My bus stop is only 2 doors down from my house so I don't really have to run for the bus because there is 1 every half an hour, the bus stop its self was like any other with it timetable covered in graffiti so it was almost impossible to read, the bits of the bus stop that people had been so bored they had decided to engraved their name, the name of their crush or the most popular pop star at the time and the random stickers people had just decided randomly to put on which over time had all been fainted so you could only see the pictures or for the stickers had been there so long that when it got wet they just fall out and no one could be bothered to pick them up and throw them in the bin.
As soon as I had retched the bus stop my two other best friends Ollie, Pax leaped on me asking me a million questions both at the same time –this was what happened every morning so I had expected it and I had come prepared, I answered Ollie's questions on whether he could copy all my homework which I answered with a yes which by the look on his face, I could tell he was happy. Then I moved on to my other more serious best friend, who said
"You look worried anything the matter"
I replied with a blunt "no" but knew that he could read my emotions like a map.
"It's Annabeth isn't it "he replied straightforwardly
No well yes it is, the thing is, she isn't picking up her phone"
"Normal "he said
Well I know that is but when I ring back she doesn't answer"
"Maybe she just didn't have a enough time to pick up the phone before you hung it-it can happen you know we're not all attached to our phones especially Annabeth "he said confidently
"But how come she tried to phone me and then when I phoned her, so she didn't pick up"
"Stop worrying, I am sure she will be just fine, we'll meet her at school –stop freaking out. A bus is coming anyway we better get to the front of the line to be in with a chance of getting a half decent seat. Get Ollie would you"
It took me a few minutes to find Ollie when I did, i found him chatting up girls that were let's just say way out of his league. Once I had grabbed his collar and whispered a few stern words, he came with me to join Pox.
Seriously dude did you even think of chatting up those girls, you of all people know that no offense man but they are way out of your league aren't even interested in you"
"Really well how about that girl that you liked..."
Guys can we please not get into a fight and just get on the bus before everyone else does"
"Fine "said both of the boys.
Pox snatched both mine and his bag up from the pavement without even asking me which I liked.
"Hey Pox can you carry my bag?"Asked Ollie cheekily
"No way and do you know why because ever since you showed me that mouldy banana have had no idea what is in that bag of yours and personally I don't want to know so no thanks"
"Suit yourself "he mumbled
"Guys please not today" I said
As we boarded the bus I noticed the regulars0there was Tommy the nose picker who you didn't ever want to sit next to, Sophie and her gang of followers who you were never allowed sitting next to because their bags took up the other seat, and many other faces of people I had never really talked to .me and the boys took the seats near the back with Ollie sitting in a double and me and Pox infront,on the journey Ollie took out his phone and you knew he was lost to the world until one of us pulled out one of his headphones, while me and Pox talked about the day ahead and stuff that only us two would talk about
"So what have we got today "he asked looking at his timetable
He always asks me because his dyslexia is worse than mine.
"Lets see we have got chemistry first thing, then we got maths, French which we get to miss to see this special needs teacher and Greek "I replied looking at my identical timetable
"Sounds like a good day to me "
"Yey that just because you know that we love go-..."there was a loud bang and the bus rocked from side to side but what was happening?
