Chapter 3

The bus driver arrived to each students house and watched as they walked in
Leo welcomed them politely so we would make them feel like he had forgot everything that had happened last year
Leo POV
It was time to trick everyone to think that he had forgotten what had happened last year
But Leo would never forget what happened last year, after his dad's death he would always want to take revenge for him
Ben POV
The bus then arrived at Ben's place at the end of his driveway
"There it is, Ben, go catch your bus and head over to school" his mother said as he stood up and grabbed a pencil and slipped it into his back pocket in his pants
Ben finished his breakfast and the rushed into his bathroom and brushed his teeth and then walked downstairs as quickly as he could and then took the door handle and turned it and opened the door with his mother following him
His mother watched him as he walked over to the bus station which was right beside his house
"Bye Ben! Have a good year at school, sweetheart!" His mother called out to him as he looked at her and blushed embarrassedly and waved
"And don't cause any trouble! You'll regret it if you do" his mother called out again as she leaned against the front door and smiled, narrowing her eyes
Ben then stepped inside the bus and watched as Leo approached him with a welcoming smile
"Good to see you, sir" Leo said as he put his fist up and waited for Ben to fist bump him
"Good to see you too" Ben mumbled as he put his fist up and bumped Leo's fist gently and then nodded and then quickly walked over to his seat and sat down, tilting his head down and looked at the ground with a worried feeling in his chest
It was an uneasy feeling, something felt wrong as soon as he touched Leo's fist, Ben wasn't sure if Leo was being polite towards him because Leo didn't know what Ben had did, Ben never really did anything other than attempt to destroy the building with Crybaby by his side
"Please be okay, Crybaby" Ben whispered to himself as he looked up and watched as the bus began moving down to the other member's houses slowly
Angelita POV
Eventually the bus had showed up in Angelita's driveway
"There's your bus, sweetie!" Her mother said as Angelita looked over at the bus nervously
She paused and used her powers to stop time
What do I do? When I get there I know that Leo will be after us, especially me and Crybaby, Crybaby has the worst of us when it comes to dealing with Leo Angelita thought to herself, she began thinking as she moved her eyes around her living room, she had stopped time but she knew that she couldn't stop time forever, she eventually would have to get in the bus and go back to the building she once had tried to escape along with her friends due to Lilith's help
She then stood up and grabbed some tampons and girl stuff just incase something else had happened
She grabbed a bag and stuffed her supplies into the bag gently before going back out to the living room
She looked at her mom and then paused to think to herself before leaving the house
I'll be with my friends, everything will be fine, plus Crybaby will be there and she's very powerful.. we're immortal, even though things may hurt She thought to herself before sitting back down and looked at the ground so her mother wouldn't think anything suspicious
Angelita then let time go back to normal
"Sweetie?" Her mother said as she looked at her daughter who has starring at the ground
"Yea?" She replied as she looked up at her mother with a blank expression on her face
"You're bus is here!" Her mother said before looking at her bag with confusion
"Since when did you get that bag?" Her mother asked
Oh well, I guess I'll tell her, she'll understand
"I needed a bit more time to pack some stuff for this year, so I stopped time to get everything I needed to get" Angelita explained as she looked into her mothers eyes
"Oh, no worries! Now go on, I'll walk you up there if it makes you feel any better about going, you won't have to be alone" her mother said as she smiled and watched as her daughter stood up
"Yes please, that would be great" Angelita replied as she looked at her mom before walking down to her front door and taking the door knob and turning it to the side, opening the door as slowly as she could to stop some time
When she opened the door, she stopped time again and looked around
I'm so scared, I know I shouldn't be doing this she thought as she looked at the bus nervously with a dark and cold feeling in her bones
She took a deep breath and widened her eyes and let the time go back to normal and then walked outside as her mother followed her over to the bus
"There you are! Have a good year at school, make sure you do your best!" Her mother said as she looked at her daughter and patted her shoulder
There was a pause before Angelita looked into her mothers eyes and then hugged her tightly, holding back her tears
Angelita knew she was going to be tortured by every teacher, the teachers were definitely after her friends, especially Crybaby, Leo was the worst of all of them due to what happened at the dance
"Oh honey, you're gonna be okay, I promise you! You'll be with all your friends and you'll have a great time!" Her mother said as she chuckled and looked down as Leo walked over to the bus door and waited for the teenaged girl to step inside the bus
Angelita nodded and then let go and began walking up as she looked down at the ground
After a couple steps she looked up and then stopped in her tracks as her heart dropped with fear and pure disgust
Leo was smirking and leaning against the bus driver's seat with his arms crossed
"Good to see you, my dear" Leo said politely as Angelita nodded and stood beside him as he put his hand out to her
Angelita looked at his hand and stood there for a second with fear in her eyes
"Come on, don't be shy! I'm not here to judge you, I'm your principal!" Leo said as he smiled and looked at her
"Honey, don't be so shy! He's not gonna hurt you" her mother said as she giggled and looked at her daughter and then looked at Leo with a polite smile
Yeah, I'm sure he won't Angelita thought to herself as she looked at Leo with concern
Leo watched as Angelita lifted her hand and took Leo's hand carefully
Leo squeezed her hand a bit and smiled and then shook her hand firmly
Angelita's heart dropped and then nodded and then let go as quickly as possible and then quickly looked at her mom with a concerned expression on her face, hoping her mother could see that her daughter was in danger with Leo in sight
"Have a good year, sweetheart!" Her mother said as she smiled as her daughter began tearing up a bit
"I love you so much, mom, I'm gonna miss you so much, please take care of my stuff for me" Angelita said as she looked at her mother like it was the last time she would ever see her again
"I'll miss you too, sweetheart" Her mother said before Angelita turned towards the seats and sat down in the seat her and Crybaby sat in on the first year of hell
Celeste POV
After waiting for a while, Celeste walked back into to her room and grabbed her phone and played some music and then lay in her bed and looked up at the roof and started thinking
What the hell is going to happen to us? We literally tried to destroy and escape the darn thing and yet we failed Celeste thought to herself as she turned over to her table in her room and opened a drawer and grabbed a chocolate bar and ate it and then grabbed her journal and started writing
I'm so worried about going to this school again, after me and my friends tried to escape and destroy it! And my mom doesn't even know and if she did she would completely end my life, I would be so done for! Celeste wrote in her journal
There was a sudden knock on the door
"Come in!" Celeste said before her mother walked in and crossed her arms
"Girl, the bus has been waiting outside for you for two minutes!" Her mother said as Celeste got up and grabbed a bag and shoved her journal and some pencils inside the journal and then picked the bag up and ran downstairs
"Goodbye! I gotta go to school!" Celeste shouted as she ran to the front door from her room quickly and then turned the door handle and then ran outside
"Have fun, girl! Don't get into any trouble!" Her mother said as Celeste turned around and waved and then stepped into the bus before Leo stood in front of the seats
"It's still good to see the late comers" Leo said as Celeste looked up at him and widened her eyes with fear and a bit of anger
"Yeah, I'm sure you just love to see me" Celeste said as she narrowed her eyes at him and then pushed him out of the way and walked over to Angelita and sat down
"Hey girl" Angelita said as Celeste looked at her and smiled happily
"Hey! How've you been!" Celeste said as they hugged each other excitedly and then let go and smiled at one another
"I've been so nervous the whole time about coming back here" Angelita whispered as quietly as she could hit loud enough for Celeste to hear her as she looked at Celeste
"Girl, me too, but we'll be with Crybaby and all of our other friends! Now that we know who is the same as us" Celeste said as the bus began moving again
Leo then looked over at the two girls that were sitting beside each other
A smirk escaped from his lips as he watched as the girls continued to talk to one another
Magnolia POV
The bus then showed up at the house as Magnolia walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror
You got this girl, you're gonna take that boy down with your friends and then party she thought to herself
She then grabbed a little bag and slipped some supplies into it gently and then leaned against the bathroom counter and looked down at the floor nervously
Her mom then knocked on the door firmly and leaned her head against the door
"Magnolia, are you in there, dear?" Her mother shouted as she looked at the door and waited for a response
"Yeah, I'm in here, why do you ask?" Magnolia said as she looked at the door with curiosity
"You're bus is waiting outside in the front yard for you! And you know how I feel about you being late to school! I don't like it, period, it ain't good" her mother said as Magnolia grabbed her bag and then opened the bathroom door and then walked out
"I'm ready! Do I look good?" Magnolia said as she fluffed her dress and looked at her mother and smiled nervously
"Girl, you don't need to look good for no body" Her mother said as she looked at her dress and then looked at her with a confused look on her face like she was crazy
"I know, but this school is really fancy and I wanna look good" Magnolia said as she put some mascara on and then put some lip gloss on her lips and then rubbed her two lips together and then put it into her little bag
"Why do you have a bag? You ain't going to nobody's house" Her mother asked as she looked at her daughters bag and then squinted her eyes with confusion on her face as she looked back up at her daughter as she chuckled loudly
"I know mom! I just want to have extra stuff while I'm there, last time I didn't have everything I wanted and needed" Magnolia replied as she smiled and then walked down over to the door after hugging her mom and then walked over to the bus and stepped in
"Good to see you, dear" Leo said as Magnolia said as she looked at him and widened her eyes and then narrowed her eye brows and looked at his shirt and then laughed
"Good to see you" Magnolia said as she turned away and covered her face and laughed as she walked over to the other two girls
"Hey girls, how've you been?" Magnolia said as she sat down across from the two girls with a smile on her face
"We've both been great over the summer until last night knowing that we would have to go back to this hell of a building" Angelita mumbled so only her two friends could hear her as she looked at Magnolia and then looked at Leo and the bus driver
"Oh girl, I've been hella nervous to come back here, I get you" Magnolia said as she looked at Angelita, letting out a slight chuckle
"We'll have Crybaby and Fleur joining us too" Celeste said as she smiled at Magnolia as the girls nodded
"We'll have to deal with Kelly though, which is going to be a pain" Angelita said as she sighed and then looked over to the window and looked outside as the bus began moving once again
"Oh forget about her, we'll be fine" Magnolia said as she looked over at Angelita and then laughed as the other two girls looked over at her and giggled
Fleur POV
Fleur then walked into her room and started to put more makeup on as quickly as he could and then sat down and looked in the mirror in her room and took a deep breath in
Kelly doesn't control you anymore, you're with the others, they will not judge you or make you do things, your just as equal to them just like everyone is to everyone else Fleur thought to herself as she looked in the mirror and took deep breaths in and deep breath out before standing up and grabbing her back and then sat down on her bed and then lay back in her bed as thoughts ran through her head
What's going to happen when we get there?
Will also still want his revenge or did he already forget? What does it look like now, did things change? She thought as she looked over at her bedroom door before shutting her eyes and praying that she would be okay along with her other friends, even Kelly and the other girls that she would used to hang out with and sometimes even have fun with, although it was rare
"Fleur, it's time to go to school, honey!" Her mother said as she knocked on her door softly
"Coming mom" Fleur said softly as she at up in her bed and then grabbed more supplies and put it into her bag and then walked over her bedroom door and shut her light off and then walked into the living room and looked outside to see the bus waiting there in her driveway
"Come on sweetie, I'll walk you over there" her mother said as she put her hand on her daughter's shoulder gently with a warm smile on her face
"Thank you, mom" Fleur said as she looked at her mom and then walked over to the front door and then opened the door and then walked over to the bus and looked up to see Leo standing there and began overthinking as soon as she saw him
Oh no, it's Leo! Oh my god he's gonna kill me! What do I do? I can't just run away and escape Fleur thought as she paused and then walked up to him and then smiled nervously
"Good to see you, I assume you would want to sit beside your friends, their back there" Leo said as he pointed to Fleur's old friends in the back off the bus as she looked over at them and sighed
"Yeah, thank you" Fleur said as she began walking over and then looked down as Magnolia looked at her and called out her name
"Fleur! Girl, you're here!" Magnolia said as Fleur looked over at her and then smiled as Magnolia moved over and then pat the seat and looked at the girl standing in the bus
"Go on, sit down" Magnolia said as she patted beside her
"Are you sure?" Fleur asked as Magnolia looked at her and giggled
"Yes I'm sure, girl! Come on!" Magnolia said as she motioning her hand for Fleur to come closer and sit down beside her
Fleur smiled and then sat down beside Magnolia and smiled at her
"Thank you" Fleur said as she leaned against the bus seat with a smile on her face
Kelly POV
"Kelly! It's time you go to your damn school!" Her father said as he yelled as she looked at him and widened her eyes
"Holly shit! I know! I'm going as fast as I can! Calm down!" Kelly shouted as she looked at her father before grabbing and then putting her hair up in a bun before walking up to the front door and turning the door knob and walking outside to the bus
When Kelly arrived in the bus everyone looked at her as Leo approached her with a smile on his face
"So lovely to see my little sidekick again" Leo said as he grabbed her hand and tried to kiss
Kelly smacked his hand off of hers and then looked at him
"Don't touch me" Kelly said as she looked at him and then looked down and looked at the ground as everyone watched her walk to the very back of the bus and sat down and then looked out the window, hiding her face from everyone around her
Crybaby POV
Crybaby then walked into her room and put some stuff in her bag and started packing up to return back to the horrid building that she had attempted to destroy the last time see saw it
It was about three months ago since the members have been in that building that was supposed to be destroyed but had failed due to Kelly's power that she would never share to anyone she ever knew until that night
The bus pulled up into Crybaby's drive way
"Crybaby, the bus is here for you!" Her mother said with a smile on her face
"Coming!" Crybaby said as she grabbed her bag with stuff inside im of it
She then walked out into the living room, shutting the bedroom door before leaving
Nervously, she walked down the stairs to the front door before pausing and looking at the door handle before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath She then opening her eyes and took the door handle and opened the door and then walked out as her mother followed her outside and walked her to the bus
"Have fun, sweet heart!" Her mother said as she waved to her daughter and watched as she stepped into the bus and bumped into Leo
Crybaby looked up to Leo
Leo..
She remembered seeing how shocked he was when she had tricked him into thinking she was someone else
"Good morning, love, glad to have you here" Leo said as politely as he could as he fixed his tie and smiled at her
"Glad to be here" Crybaby mumbled to herself before turning towards the bus seats to see her friends waving at her
She smiled and walked over to them as they made room for her to sit down
Leo chuckled and watched as she walked away from him
"Everyone's finally here!" Angelita said as Crybaby sat down and hugged her as everyone in the crew started clapping other than Ben
"Crybaby, can I speak to you?" Ben said as he looked at Crybaby
"Yeah, sure" Crybaby said as she stood up and looked at Ben and then walked over to his seat and then sat down and looked at him
"What's up?" Crybaby said as she looked at him
They made eye contact before Ben spoke
"You remember that letter I wrote?" Ben said as Crybaby's heart dropped a little
Crybaby didn't like Ben in the same way she thought he did
"Yeah, what about it?" Crybaby said as she looked at him and began to feel bad for him
"I don't like you in that way anymore, and I'm sorry if you do, I guess I just lost feelings" Ben said as he looked away and started to feel a sick feeling in his stomach
Crybaby smiled and then giggled friendly as she looked at him in the eyes
"Don't worry about it Ben, I'm not that into you like I thought I was, I see you as a good friend though" Crybaby said with a smile
"Okay, good to know, thank you Crybaby" Ben said as she nodded and stood up and looked back at Kelly for a second
