Did ya like the first chapter? Yeah I know it was boring. : I told you.. But this one gets a litttllleee bit more interesting. Not much. The better stuff comes just a little later. Enjoy this chapter and the next will be up shortly! Oh and I'm working on this one part.. like a lot. So just ignore the "construction" warnings and skip that a little. It's not a very significant part.

Lianna, living the closest, got to their school, KHMS- Kuro Hayano Middle School, first. She walked into the commons and sat on the cold concrete of the planter. Sighing, she dropped her backpack under the wood bench her feet rested on. She looked down at her shoes, admiring them, and then looked up, glancing around. "What the?! Where is everyone?!" She jumped down off of the planter and ran into the cafeteria. It was empty. She ran to the library, empty; "C" hall, empty; "B" hall, empty; even "A" hall, empty! Finally she went to the two gyms in turn. They were both empty. "Is it Sunday or something?!"

"No.. It's Monday, dork." a deep voice came from behind Lianna, making her jump onto the table.

Michael fell over laughing.

"UGH. MICHAEL! Don't scare me like that!" Lianna bent over to scream in his face, her long brown hair flowing over her shoulders. She stopped, getting caught up in his eyes. CONSTRUCTION

Ending his laughing spree, Michael sat down on the table, bending one leg for an armrest.

/CONSTRUCTION When they reached the planter, Laura was standing there watching the distance nervously.

Michael jumped behind her and screamed at the back of her head. "BOOOOOOOOO."

"Ah..." Laura said dully, elbowing Michael. He fell back onto the wood bench.

"HAHAHAHAHAHH." Lianna fell on him, laughing.

"Shut up. I got you." Michael pushed her off of him, climbing up to sit on the concrete.

Lianna did the same, tilting her head to the side in Laura's direction. "What cha lookin' at? S'Baron coming?" she spoke with a nudgenudge tone.

Laura just shrugged. "I didn't see him on the way to school and.. He's not here yet is he?"

Lianna and Michael shrugged at once. "We haven't seen him." Lianna spoke for both of them.

"Actually, you two are the only people that I have seen this morning other than my parents and my brother." Michael spoke up.

"Hmm.. Yeah. That's.. creepy." Michael's comment made Laura worry and you could see it in her eyes. She dropped her backpack and ran to the corner of the band room, leaning over to see if anyone was coming.

Lianna's expression was all weird. "Hey that is creepy. And.. no one's here. At all. I checked everywhere. OOPS. The only place I forgot was the band room. But you could hardly fit a whole school in that tiny room." her eyes scanned around Michael's face.

"We should prolly check though." Michael glanced away from Lianna and then back again, not wanting to drop his gaze from her eyes. He forced himself to turn away as he yelled to Laura as she headed back. "HEY. Check and see if anyone's in the band room!"

"Why?" Laura quirked an eyebrow.

"Just look." Michael rolled his eyes.

"Aight then." Laura turned around and headed towards the see-through black door that lead first to Mr. Dedmon's office which went through to the band room. She reached for the handle and opened it, surprised it wasn't locked. She stepped into the squished room, glancing around nervously since she'd never actually been in the band room. "Hellooo?" her voice echoed off the high ceiling.

Something that sounded like shuffling papers was coming from a corner in the room. After the echoing stopped so did the shuffling. "Hello?" a strange woman-like voice came from behind Mr. Dedmon's desk and he stood up.

Laura fell over, realizing Mr. Dedmon had been the one who said Hello in that tone. After a few good laughs she stood up and walked over to his desk. "Hey Mr. Dedmon! Didn't you realize no one else is here?"

"Yeah.. Thought I was just early. But school should be starting in about two minutes so somethin' must be up. Think it's Sunday still?" Mr. Dedmon's voice seemed to be calming Laura's nerves.

"News this morning said it was Monday." Laura shrugged and turned around to look out of the see-through black wall that went with the door. Seeing Baron outside talking with Lianna and Michael, she turned back to Mr. Dedmon and, with a flick of her wrist, invited him outside with her. "We gotta see what's up with all this." She turned again and ran to the door, running out and over to Baron. Wrapping her arms around him, she giggled happily.

"Hey." Baron smiled slightly and returned the hug. "Sorry it took so long for me to get here."

Mr. Dedmon came through the door and walked over to the small group. "So we're the only ones here?"

Lianna nodded slowly at the look on Mr. Dedmon's face. "Checked everywhere."

Laura sat down by Lianna's feet on the wooden bench and Baron sat next to her. She smiled brightly and took his hand, looking up at Mr. Dedmon.

"Not everywhere." a familiar voice came from behind the planter. "Heh, never did have the guts just to walk into the teacher's lounge did ya, Lianna?" the voice chuckled and footsteps claimed the owner of the voice was coming over to them.

Laura's smile just widened while the others got real jumpy. "Heyy! You're still here too!"

suspense, I know. :O Next chapter will be up very shortly. If you get annoyed with the description of my school not being very clear... I'm sorry. It'll stop real soon and start getting interesting. Please r&r! Please, thanks, i love you, bye.
