Le back from holiday! :D
Mike sat against an alley way wall, holding onto his legs and hugging them tightly. He checked his watch which read '4:30' School was obviously over by now. He wondered if anyone had cared if he had gone. He wondered if anyone will find him here. Around the alley way were a bunch of garbage bins, which stunk up the area but Mike didn't care, all he cared about was that he had ran away from home and never wanted to see anyone... Ever again.
'I wanna go home!' Svetlana complained, through his mind.
'Shut-up. We're staying here!' Mike yelled back loudly in his head. He lifted his arms and wrapped them around his legs tightly, resting his head slightly upon his tanned arms. The wind slapped against his body, which made Mike shiver because of the coldness the wind carried along. The sky began to cover to with grey and black clouds, spreading underneath the blue sky and the colour disappeared, only to see the dark sky.
That's when it began to pour down with rain. The water dropped quickly down into the alley-way, Mike feeling the hard rain pound down onto him. His hair became wet and drooped down against his neck and the corner's of his head. He didn't care if it was raining.
He just wanted to escape the cruel, hard world. No-one ever loved him, after being in an Orphange, bullied then being bullied again when arriving at his first actual school.
'Why can't I just be normal? W-what did I ever do wrong!' Mike screamed at the top of his lungs, holding his head up high, with his voice echoing against the walls of the alley way and slipped past the heavy raindrops. Tears began to stream down his cheeks, flowing right onto the wet ground while he sniffed along to the drops. His shut his eyes tight and tried not to burst into tears again, placing his head down on his knees. Mike lifted his head again, after seeing something bright shine in the corner of his eye to the left. He squinted into the distance between two garbage bins side by side, seeing something that glinted in the tiny, small brightness that was in the alley way.
Mike crawled closer, very slowly towards the shiny, small light that lay there in the large puddle of water. He scooted his knees across the wet ground and felt drops of rain pound at his hair, getting closer and closer to the item. He arrived at where the glinting light was coming from. Mike gave a closer look, picking it up by the un-shiny end and rubbed the dirt that stuck to it, which landed next to him. Finally, he knew what it was.
A knife.
'Mike! Where is he!'
The whole gang stayed after school, searching the grounds for the teen. They searched everywhere around the school, checking over and over again. He was no-where to be found.
'Cameron! Any news? Where'd you check?' Zoey asked in panic, seeing Cameron run up to her.
'I checked the... *puff* whole of the *puff* gym again. A-also the bin area,' Cameron replied in short breaths, leaning over with his hands on his knees.
'This is my entire fault, Cam. I can't believe I was angry at Mike and now we can't even find him. I yelled, I got annoyed, I stormed off in anger...' Zoey trailed off, listing off the terrible things she had done.
'Zoey, don't talk about those things. You'll just feel *puff* worse,' Cameron replied patting her on the back.
'I-I know... But I've been losing everything! My life is falling apart. My dad, then my mum, then... Mike. I loved him. Whenever I saw him, he made my worries disappear with his quirky 'characters' and his kind personality. When I developed a crush on him, that's when things went wrong. B-but, the bad thing is, I shouted at him when I didn't know he had troubles on his o-own!' Zoey screamed, bursting into tears at the end of her long sentence. She leaned against the locker and tears began to spill out, so she held her hands up against her face sniffing along with her cries.
'Zoey! Please don't cry! We'll find him, I bet we will. We're all looking for him, every problem has a happy ending,' Cameron told her, grabbing onto her arm and trying to drag her from the lockers.
'That only happens in fairy-tales. Why can't this be like one of those?' Zoey asked herself in annoyance, flinching Cameron off her arm.
'It will have a happy ending. It's not likely that he has run far from here. He wouldn't, I know him,'
'You're right, Cam. Oh, I can't believe I haven't thanked you and the others for everything yet. Thanks so much for helping!' she told Cameron, giving him a small hug much too tightly.
'C-can you let go off me? You're crushing my lungs...' Cameron struggled to say. Zoey noticed and quickly pushed him off, then said 'Now, let's go find him! He probably could of gone outside of the school,'
Meanwhile Dawn and B quickly ran down the hallways, continuing their search on the lost teen.
'I really hope we find him! Now he's lost on the cold, cruel world,' Dawn quietly said, with B nodding in agreement. 'I really hope he's okay, don't you?'
B looked over to the short blonde and nodded again, with a concerned facial expression. As they turned the corner, Dawn skidded and crashed into someone else walking in the hall-way. B quickly stopped and helped Dawn up from the ground, seeing a teacher on the floor, rubbing her head who crashed into Dawn.
'Thanks B, but look who it is! It's the vice principal...' Dawn whispered, leaning over next to B.
'What are you two doing here after school hours!' the vice principal asked, her arms crossed and waiting for an answer.
'Uh... Um..' B stuttered, unsure of what to say. He looked over to Dawn, but she was already gone. B jumped in surprise, wondering where the aura whisperer had gone. The teacher was about to yell at B again, but as soon as she tried, a small bug crawled onto her foot.
'A bug!' she screamed and ran away hopping on her left leg, trying to wipe the small bug off her leg in the distance. B breathed a sigh of relied and turned around to the side, seeing Dawn right there with a smile upon her face.
'Of course, I would never leave you behind. I quickly got my little friend, a beetle and placed it on her leg,' Dawn answered, with a large smile. B looked confused, moving hand gestures and wondered how she had gone in a second.
'Let me guess, you're wondering how I go out of here quickly, am I correct? Well, it's a small secret,' Dawn giggled, walking off further down the hall. B gave another large smile to himself and followed her down the hall, seeing Cody, Trent and Harold who had skidded around the corner.
'Any sign if him yet?' Trent asked the two. The two shook their head.
'We have checked many of the hallways,' Dawn told them.
'Gosh! Seriously, where is he?' Harold complained crossing his arms in anger.
'We might need to to check out of the school grounds. Apparently a teacher said he saw someone jump over the front fence at lunch but she thought it was her imagination,' Cody explained.
'Okay! We need to find Zoey and Cameron, we have to tell them that,' Dawn replied to the four. They all nodded in agreement, when Izzy came crashing down from the roof and landing on the floor with a loud crack.
'Izzy! Are you alright!' Cody asked in shock, seeing Izzy in an awkward position, right in front of the five.
'Of course, I am! It cracked my arm back into place, it used to be halfway down my side,' Izzy told them all, jumping up and wiping any dust off her body.
'That is most likely impossible Izzy, you see, it canno-' Harold explained but got interrupted by Trent.
'Come on, let's go to Zoey and Cameron!' Trent told them all and began running off down the hall, with everyone following behind.
'Heeeeelp! Please open the door!'
Zoey's hands pounded against Mike's home, hitting against the hard wood of the door wanting an answer straight away. The door opened with Mike's mum standing there with a frantic look on her face, only realizing that it was her son's friends.
'Oh, you must be Mike's friends! How nice to meet-'
'Mike's gone!' Zoey yelled interrupting Mike's mum's sentence. Her eyes opened wide in shock, as she felt a cold rush spread around her body.
'Wait... What?' his mum asked in confusion and shock, standing in the middle of the door-way.
'I'll explain on the way, but you need to come with us now,' Zoey explained quickly, dragging his mum out the door and headed down their street with the rest of the gang following behind.
