The paper. The bloody paper was all you could think about. The headline.

Fire in Blackpool injures six, kills one.

Every time you thought of those words, your mind darkened. You were walking to the bus stop, only to realize it was getting ready to leave without you. You sprinted up to it as it began to drive away, banging on the door in hopes to be granted tardy passage. The driver grunted and opened the door, and you stumbled in, your eyes briefly meeting with some other boy who was sat on the bus, he looked about your age.

"Bus leaves stations on the ten!" The driver exclaimed in annoyance, and you scoffed in annoyance, beginning to find a seat.

"Not moving this bus 'till everyone's seated!" He exclaimed again, and without thinking, you just sat next to the boy you met eyes with, but you only realized that as you looked over to see it was him. You then asked if the seat was taken, the boy didn't reply, but he definitely wasn't ignoring you, he was looking right at you. You cocked an eyebrow, waiting for him to reply. Was he daft? Mute? Either way he was making a complete fool out of himself...
