"El, come on. We're up next." Ashley poked her friend in the arm, who was now sweatly horribly. Ashley grabbed Ellie by the arm, set all of their stuff down on the counter, and turned to her El. "Ellie... is there something wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Ellie immediately checked her surroundings, not believing any of this to be true. She could've just sworn all of them had been killed. All of them had just died seconds before, and now they were.. all alive. She stared out of the glass doors, towards the man who had dropped the matches second earlier.

"That'll be.. Six dollars and sixty-six cents.. Wait, that can't be right..Shouldn't be that much for only three things." Ellie snapped her head towards the cashier when he spoke and broke out in another sweat, taking a few steps back. "Hold on.. let me call the manager."

"Six.. six.. six!" Ellie made a dash outside towards the matches. This can't be happening, she thought to herself. Don't tell me this is the- He thoughts were cut short by what she saw on the ground. "E.. n.. d."

"El! Is something wrong?" Ashley had made her way over to Ellie, who by now was staring around the entire area. "Why'd you freak like that?"

"Ashley, the bus is going to explode! I swear it! Do not get back on that bus!"

"Ellie, c'mon. Stop joking around. Just because the price was accidentally 666 doesn't mean we'll be hurt."

"Im serious, Ash. Please.. trust me. If you never trust me again, trust me on this! Please!" Ellie started crying, crossing her arms and looking in a different direction.

"A-alright. How are we - " Ashley turned her head towards Snake, who had just called everyone onto the bus. "How are we supposed to get back to school then?"

Ellie thought about what she said for a moment. Her eyes widened when it suddenly dawned on her that everyone on the bus did die. "Ashley! We have to stop them from getting on the bus, too!" Almost knocking Ashley over, Ellie dashed towards the bus, stepping inside and grabbing the microphone for the intercom.

"Everyone needs to get off of the bus! It's going to explode with us on it!"

"Shut up, you freak." Paige turned her head towards Ellie as she made her way to the back of the bus to claim her seat.

No one was believing her. Even after she added "I just saw it explode!" That only caused the others to laugh. Why don't they believe me! She let another tear drop and she dropped the microphone, rushing off the bus and back into the store.

"Dylan.. come on. We need to see if she's alright." Marco stood up and followed after her, Dylan doing the same. They chased after Ellie into the store.

"Ms. Kwan, do you think I could run back in there for a second? I wanted to get something to eat on the way home, but we didn't have enough time." Emma stood up and leaned over so Ms. Kwan could see her better.

"Sure, Emma. Just make sure you're back soon." Ms. Kwan grabbed the fallen microphone. "If you forgot to get something, you better go and get it now." A few more students stood up and left the bus. The remaining simply stayed were they were and talked.

Meanwhile, Ashley had found Ellie bawled into a corner, knees to her chest and her arms wrapped around them. Her head was buried within her legs, and cries could clearly be heard from a distance.

"El, are you ok?"

"No! No one listned to me! And they're all going to die! And none of them believed me.." She reburied her head and continued her cries.

Marco and Dylan approached the two women slowly. Dylan kneeled down and attempted to comfort Ellie, but she rejected the touch.

"If it makes you feel any better, we.. believe you." Dylan tried again, reaching her hand over to hers. She didn't reject it this time, which was good. "But the bus is our only way back. And if you really did see the bus explode, wouldn't we all be dead?"

Finally, the crying woman had stopped and he looked over towards Dylan, blinking her red eyes. "I.. I guess so." Maybe she was day dreaming to much. Maybe her little spaz had branched off from when the man was about to smoke. "But .. the mat-"

"Ellie, come on. Do you really believe you saw the bus blow up?" Ashley smiled and put out her hand to help her up. "C'mon.. On the way back we can just explain it was a tactic to spend some extra time - and money - here."

"Kay." That made her feel entirely better. Somehow, it just did. She took the hand and stood up to her feet, brushing off the dust that had collected on her black clothing. The four made their way towards the front, just as the students were coming back from the cashier and the bathroom.

"Ellie, you okay?" Jimmy was the first one to say something. Everyone else simply backed him up.

"You really thought I was going crazy huh?" Ellie put on a smile and continued to head towards the bus, pushing open the glass doors. "I guess I do owe the drama club sponser a chance to meet the worlds greatest actor." They laughed and joked around with her on their way back to the bus. Ellie smiled again and looked over to Ashley who winked, and she returned her gaze forward. Suddenly she stopped. Everyone else did as well, except Snake.

"El.. what's wrong now?" Marco looked around in front of them, only spotting two animals chasing each other.

"The.. the fish hawk! And... the badger!" Suddenly, scenes from her de je vu experience came rushing back to her. Her dream last night..

"Come on kids. We're running out of time!" Snake sighed loudly and walked back over to the children, attempting to convince them to move along.

Ellie once again attempted to stop them from getting on the bus, but they simply ignored it as practice for the drama club. Then a single sound made her heart stop beating. The sound she remembered hearing when the bus exploded in her vision: the engine revving.

The entire bus exploded at once this time, and not in sections. The group of 12 who survived - Dylan, Marco, Jimmy, Ashley, Terri, Hazel, Manny, Sean, Emma, Snake and Ellie herself - were now all pushed back and laying down on the ground. Some were bleeding because of broken glass in their arms, but none of them were dead.

Ellie lifted herself up off the ground and stared at the destruction she foresaw. The other 11 began to stand, but all of their eyes were focused on her.

"And in news today, a bus blows up at a gas station. On it were children from Degrassi Community School. They were coming back from a field trip when there bus suddenly exploded for no reason. Police are still investigating what could be the cause of the explosion. Out of the ones who died, a few survived. Those few will remain nameless until further notice." A lady on the TV announced, a semi-large picture of the debree to her right.

"Ellie, the chief wants to see you know." She was the last one to be questioned. Everyone else's parents had picked them up once their interview was over. Of course, El couldn't be sure her mom was even going to come. She sighed and stood up from the bench, taking her eyes off the TV and walking into the chief of police's office. There was an empty seat right in front of the desk; she took her seat and stared at the man across from her.

"So, I hear you knew the bus was going to explode. How?" The slightly chunky man in the blue suit asked her. His eyes went from the papers concerning the explosion to her, back and forth.

"I.. I saw it. I swear." She couldn't stare at him anymore. Her eyes darted over to her left.

"Saw it where?"

"..At the gas station.. on the road. I just saw it. I saw it explode before it happened.."

"Were you taking any drugs, hu-"

"No. I'm not nor was I on anything. I'm telling you I saw it before it happened." A tear fell from her right eye.

"Well, even through we're glad you saved 12 people from the explosion of Elegance Tour's Bus 180, we're going to be keeping an eye on you."

"Fine, whatever." Ellie shot up and ran out of the police station all the way home. Something about the bus and everything that was going on just made her run faster. Like she should be running, trying to escape someone. Or something.
