Hey guys! Welcome to chapter 4! Enjoy!
The man walked over to the bus, loaded his bags, and turned to the blonde man with the clipboard.
"Sorry for being late" The newcomer apologized. The man nodded and wrote something down in his clipboard. Is that really…? Mark sauntered over to the new student.
"Is that you? Cry?" The man turned around and acknowledged Mark.
"Oh hey Mark! Yep it's really me." Cry gestured towards himself. This is insane! Cry is the guy that you just don't meet, but yet he's standing right in front of me! Mark was so astonished that Cry was starting to look at him weirdly.
"Are you ok dude?" Cry asked. Mark shook his head and focused back on the conversation.
"Yeah, it's just I never thought that I would get to see you in person!" Cry chuckled and was suddenly turned around by someone.
"CRY! IT'S REALLY YOU!" Felix yelled so loud that everyone in the group was starting to look at him funny. He gave Cry a brofist and started rambling about how cool it was to see him in person. Eventually, Ken and Marzia joined the conversation. But only a few minutes passed when the blonde clipboard man started talking to the entire group again.
"Ok guys, all students have arrived and been accounted for. Everyone board the bus and we'll be on our way to the school." Everybody started to crowd the bus doors to get in. Mark could see through one of the bus windows that Yami and Minx were laughing because they got on the bus first. When he got inside the bus, he spotted all the other Youtubers in the way back. Joining them, he sat down next to Cry (Authors Note: To understand where everyone is sitting on the bus, imagine yourself inside the bus and facing the front of it. In the very back right are Mark and Cry. Ahead of them are Yami and Minx. Ahead of Yami and Minx are Mitch and Jerome. Marzia and Felix are sitting in the back left row. Ahead of them is Ken, and ahead of Ken are Adam and Deadlox.).
"Can we talk for a minute about WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH ALL THIS SHIT ABOUT SPECIAL GENES AND POWERS?" Cry yelled. Everyone jumped at Cry's unexpected and loud outburst.
"So… none of you guys have any idea what exactly is going on?" Mark asked the group. All of them shook their heads in unison. Both Cry and Mark sat back and huffed in aggravation. Yami and Minx turned around in their seats, which were one row ahead of them.
"Well it could be worse, we could've all been separated or only one of us could have gone." Yami said.
"Yeah, at least we are all together!" Minx agreed. As the last student boarded the bus, the blonde clipboard guy grabbed his seat, and the bus started moving.
"So, are we going to tell our fans about what's happening?" Pewds mentioned. The other Youtubers glanced at each other. Team Crafted all turned around in their seats as well (Author's Note: Yes I know it's not the full team but whenever I'm talking about all of them I'll call them it to save time and space).
"I don't think we should, or at least I'm not going to tell anyone." Sky stated.
"I'm with Adam on this one, this doesn't seem like the kind of thing we should be telling thousands of people." Deadlox agreed.
"Plus what if this is some sort of government secret? If word gets out to a lot of people we could be in big trouble." Marzia said. Suddenly, fear and concern flashed in everyone's eyes. What if this is some sort of weird conspiracy? Are we going to be experimented on like aliens? Will we ever get back home? Mark thought. He opened his mouth to voice his concerns, but he quickly closed it. I don't want to scare everyone too much; we are all stressed out as it is. Plus they're probably thinking the same things. The rest of the long ride, the Youtubers tried to lift their spirits with more uplifting talk. They talked about upcoming video games. Mark, Pewds, and Yami were excited about some upcoming indie horror games that they were planning on recording. Throughout that conversation Sky had to cup his ears because he was terrified of horror games (even if they were in Minecraft). As expected, the group in the back was the loudest and laughter was heard almost the entire bus ride. The Youtubers briefly talked about funny pairings they have heard of.
"Hahaha! Yeah I definitely ship Merome!" Mark impersonated fangirls with a high-pitched, girly voice with fancy hand gestures. The entire group laughed hysterically. Jerome leaned over and hugged Mitch.
"I wuv you biggums!" Jerome jokingly yelled. Mitch then laughed so hard that his face turned a bright red and tears of laughter ran down his face. For the first time in weeks, Mark felt at ease. He was so thankful that he had his friends here with him. And he agreed with Yami. I guess it could be worse. Hours passed by but it seemed like minutes to Mark. The sun was starting to descend towards the horizon and the sky had an orange tinge by the time the school was first spotted. Mark looked out the window and saw the huge campus in the distance. He could tell that it was built with bricks that were crimson and gray shades. There also was a huge field that surrounded the buildings. But he also noticed a courtyard to one side of the school that occasionally Mark noticed sparks of light emitting from the open space. The bus turned off of the main road that it was driving on and drove onto a long, dirt road that led straight to the school. The other Youtubers took a break from their chatting to marvel at the schools size and exquisite architecture.
"Its so… beautiful!" Marzia sighed.
"Its so big!" Jerome yelled.
"Hahaha, that's what she said dude!" Deadlox chimed. The bus came to a quick, screeching stop. Mark wasn't prepared for this sudden stop and flung forward into the seat in front of him. Thankfully, the cushions kept his face from hurting as it collided with the seat. As he hit the seat, Mark heard a dull crack.
"Dude, are you ok?" Cry asked with a hint of a snicker in his tone. Mark felt his face for any scratches and cuts. Good, no injuries. As his fingers grazed over the bridge of his glasses, he felt an unnatural bend in the frame. Shit! My glasses broke!
"Yeah I'm ok, but my glasses broke." Mark sighed.
"That's ok dude, I bet you can get a teacher to fix it for you. This is a special school after all." Cry suggested. Mark rubbed his glasses and stood up, as other students were also starting to depart from the bus. Everyone was standing in a big cluster outside the huge, black school gates. The gate wore a golden seal that said, in beautiful calligraphy, WIPI. Mark walked to the group and stood in between Yami and Cry. Both of them looked excited and nervous. Then, a woman appeared in front of the cluster. She seemed to be in her late 50s with a light blue button up jacket, a matching light blue skirt, and brown (with some white strands) hair that was done up in a bun. She must be the principal.
"Hello new students! My name is Ms. Wattman I am your principal. I would like to be the first to say… welcome to Wattman's Institution for Powerful Individuals!"
Sup guys, sorry it took four chapters for them to actually arrive at the school. Its just build up so don't worry. Remember, don't be afraid to message me your opinions. Tell me what you like and don't like about the story so far (These are the beginning chapters so it's supposed to be boring, but it will get interesting eventually!). Don't be afraid to criticize, I will most likely tailor the story to your needs if I think it's necessary. Also you can suggest ideas and if I really like them I'll try and incorporate it into the story. I want to make sure I'm writing what you guys want to read. Questions are also deeply appreciated and I will answer them at the end of every chapter (If I get any). Check you guys later, bye!
