"Today's the day." I mutter, looking out of my window at the early pink sunrise. Today is the day that could either be my death sentence, or my road to being a hero.

Preferably, it'd be the second one, but who knows what's going to happen, only time can tell.

I'm still supposed to attend school today, however, I don't know how I'm going to concentrate when I know that after school I'm going to be meeting my partner and then shortly after setting off on this doomed journey.

My hands shake slightly as they grip the curtain, nervous as to the events that lie ahead. God, I don't know if I've ever been so rattled in my life. I guess I have a pretty good reason to be feeling this way, though.

When end I see the yellow bus filled with screaming children pull up at my stop, I grab my heavy backpack and sling it over my shoulder.

"Bye mom!" I yell as I run out the door.

I I get no response back, but I'm not surprised, she's probably asleep. I hear the low sound as the doors to throbbed open, and I slowly step on, resenting every single person that sits on this bus before me.

I make my way down the aisle, the usually stares of students following me and judging my every move.

I finally find an empty seat and sit down, closing my eyes and mentally preparing myself for whatever comes my way.

"Way!" The professor shouts at me and I freeze.

Shit.

Am I going to get punished? Will I be forced to jump off of the roof?

Thousands of of scenarios run through my mind in the few seconds that he's called my name.

"Y-yes sir?"'I stutter back, terrified. Who knows what this man wants.

I CANT get in trouble! This is my last class! I've made it this far...I can't ruin it now!

"I need you to do problem twenty two for me on the board." His low voice booms and I feel my heartbeat slow down slightly at his less terrifying than I expected it to be answer. My heart still races however, because if I do the answer wrong..I'm dead. I wasn't listening.

"Y-yes sir.." I repeat, slowly standing up and walking towards the board.

My shaky hand grasps the blue dry erase marker and I carefully write each word problem, making sure to get NOTHING wrong...I hope.

The he professor adjusts his glasses, and analyzes my poorly written answer carefully as my palms begin to sweat in anticipation.

"It looks...correct." He finished with a smile on his face.

He...smiled?

Once again, I've been saved today.

I walk back to my desk slowly and begin to zone out. Only half an hour left of class before schools over....

I furiously grab my backpack, pushing through the crowds that have gathered on the bus.

When my feet hit the cool, cemented, ground I bolt, feeling then chilling air cool my features.

I I quickly shut the heavy, oak door behind me, shutting the curtains after.

"Mom?" I about, my voice echoing throughout the hollow walls.

I hear rushed footsteps make their way down the hallway, and within minutes I see my mother, looking quite disheveled.

"Hey honey." She greets, a smile on her face. I give her a sincere smile back.

"Have you finished packing yet? Remember, bring the essentials, but only very little."

I nod, considering my mothers words.

"I'm not finished yet, but I almost am."

"Frank should be here in four hours. That's.." She pauses to look at the clock. "That'll be at ten o'clock. You guys will be leaving at eleven tonight."

I nod nod before bolting up the stairs to finish packing my stuff. Tonight's going to be interesting.
