Chapter 2

MARK'S POV

All the students rushed towards the entrance. Maybe the bus didn't leave them? Roger, Mark and Maureen, being the closest, reached the entrance first. They barged through the doors, practically knocking one another over.

"Guys I cant believe we missed the bus!" Roger said looking for any sight of a yellow bus.

Maureen looked up into the sky and went down on her knees. "WE MISSED THE BUS!"

"Yes, we established that Maureen." Mark said looking at his girlfriend.

"I can't believe this!" Maureen shouted.

Mark watched as Roger and Maureen shouted to no one. He decided to be calm and just sit on a curb. He rested his head in his hands and sighed. "This is going to be a long day."

"No shit Mark." Roger cursed. "We missed the fucking bus!"

Mark rolled his eyes.

"What are we going to do now?" Maureen was acting hysterical. Mark thought she was about to blow. "I'm going to miss 90210 today! And—oh my gosh. I have so many things to do! So much life ahead of me! Mark—Mark we are going to die a couple! A couple—together…and Roger—Roger you will be the third wheel even in our death!"

"Maureen calm down." Mark sighed. Maureen always had episodes of dramatic-ness. She was panting around in circles with her hands flying in the air.

"Maureen. Shut. Up." Roger whined. "Please."

"Oh my god, is the bus actually gone?" Mimi came running out of the doorways panting.

The three looked over at the tired Mimi.

"Yes YES! The bus is actually gone!" Maureen screamed. She didn't even notice a new body came running through the doors.

"Welcome to hell." Mark mumbled from the curb.

Mimi grinned slightly and noticed Roger slouching on the ground. "We missed the bus." He practically cried. "I. Can't. Believe. This." With every word he hit his head in his hands.

"Don't hurt yourself." Mimi grinned as she watched Roger.

Roger looked at her and then proceeded what he was doing. "Why are you laughing when we missed the bus home?"

Mimi shrugged. "I dunno. I guess I'm happy I'm not the only one left. I thought I was going to be here alone."

Mark raised an eyebrow. "That makes sense."

Mimi laughed. "I guess. You're Mark, right?" she asked.

Mark nodded. "Yup, and that's Roger…and Maureen…" he looked at his girlfriend prancing around in circles. "…yeah…"

"They call me Mimi." She smiled.

"Aren't you Benny's girlfriend?" Roger mumbled under his hands.

Mimi was shocked by his question. She remembered what had just happened to get her here in the first place. She was "flirting" with Roger and was therefore shoved into the wall.

"No."

"Oh." Was all that Roger could say.

"What happened?" Maureen suddenly came into the conversation.

Mimi looked away. "N-nothing."

"Hey look baby, we didn't miss the bus." Angel suddenly came walking through the doors and outside. He was having a conversation with Collins.

"Yes you did." Said Mark flatly.

"What?" Collins replied. "Are you serious?"

"Yup." Mark nodded. "We all missed the bus."

"And now we're stuck…here." Said Roger. He tilted his head back; of all the places they could get stuck at…it had to be a library. Roger wouldn't have minded if they were stuck at someplace fun, like a chocolate factory or a cool museum…but of all the places…a library.

"This is not good." Said Collins shaking his head.

Angel looked around at the left behind students. "Yeah."

"Is that all you can say?" Roger replied. "We're stuck at a library on the other side of town for pete's sake!" he shrieked.

Angel's eyes widened. Obviously this boy was not happy about being left behind.

"It'll be ok honey." Said Angel. Roger just looked up at the feminine boy and sighed.

"No it won't."

"Angel and Collins right?" Mark asked pointing at the couple. They both nodded and shook Mark's hand.

"Wow. You're the first guys that haven't made fun of us." Collins said after meeting Mark and Roger.

"Life's too short for fucking labels." Roger replied bluntly.

Collins nodded. "Touché."

Angel caught a grimace of Mimi's eye. He remembered her with Benny earlier and quickly turned away. Mimi looked away awkwardly and decided to introduce herself as well.

"Mimi." She said shyly.

Angel and Collins nodded and politely smiled.

"Maureen!" The drama queen chirped as if they were playing a name game.

Collins laughed. "Nice to meet you."

"You too." She smiled.

At that moment Joanne emerged outside, holding her books and papers. "Did the bus leave yet?" she said quietly.

They all looked over at another new companion. "Yeah…it did." Said Mimi. "We all missed it."

Joanne sighed. "Great." She then looked over at whom she was with. She noticed Maureen the drama queen and sighed again. "Just great." She dropped her books and leaned against the wall.

"What's your name again?" Maureen asked as Joanne dropped the rest of her things.

"Joanne."

"Oh! I'm Mau—

"I know who you are." Joanne cut off quietly. Maureen dropped her hand and replied with an awkward "oh" and proceeded to sit down next to Mark.

After a few minuets of awkward silence Angel spoke up. "So now that we are all acquainted." She grinned. "What are we going to do?"

"We could find a way back to school?" Mimi suggested.

"We should probably stay here for a while." Joanne said. "Maybe they will notice we are gone."

"I hope so." Said Roger. "How could they not notice Maureen is missing anyways?"

"Hey!" she shrieked.

Roger grinned lightly. "Its true."

"That's a good idea." Said Collins. "We should wait inside."

"Does anyone have a cell phone?" Mark asked.

They all checked their pockets. "Dammit! I left mine at home." Roger yelled.

"Don't have one." Angel said.

"Me neither." Said Mimi.

"Mines out of battery." Joanne replied.

Maureen pulled out her cell phone. "No service."

"I can't believe this." Roger mumbled.

"Let's just wait inside." Collins said, breaking the frustrated silence. He took hold of Angel's hand and led him inside. Joanne sighed and followed with the rest of the group behind her.

Mark and Maureen got up and walked inside. Roger stumbled behind them. This was going to be a long day.
