One

This city is ending and black smoke appears in the air. People can't breath and people are running.

But, Axel is stuck.

He is stuck in his own mind and his body is shriveled up and he can't bring himself to move. He hears the scratching screams of his neirbors and he still can't move. He hears the cars honking and tires skreeching but he still can't move.

Axel wakes up. It was just a dream and this wasn't the first time that he has had these dreams. It's an ongoing thing that he can't control and he wonders if they ever will stop. He gets out of bed and stretches, the clock reads 6 AM and Axel sighs.

Summers getting closer for Axel and he's exited because he's not really fond of school and the teachers.

He sprints downstairs to the dining table to quickly eat breakfast. Axel runs out of the door in a hurry and arrives at the bus stop and paitieny waits for the bus to get to the bus stop.

The yellow bus pulls up, Axel loads up on the bus and the other 5 kids besides Axel do the same. The bus pulls off from the bus stop and they stop once more at another bus stop.

They then arrive at the school and the kids unload and go to the gym untill the bell rings at 8 o'clock.

𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒:𝑅𝑒𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠!

Axel puts his head down and puts his hood on over his head and a little over his eyes.

He speaks to no one and makes no sound.

A kid laughs at him from a distance and he puts his head down lower. A kid pokes at him and he puts his head down even lower.

Axel then arrives to room 167, which is his home room class. Math, his least favorite subject but he gets through it. The rest of the day is tiring but he looks forward to going home. The last bell rings and it dismisses the kids from school.

The bus pulls under the pavillian and the kids including Axel get on the bus. Again, Axel sits down quietly and puts his hood over his eyes and head, daring to not make a peep of sound.

He glances out of the window and sees a clock. A clock that reads when the world will end.

Axel passes this clock everyday, and while most kids laugh and giggle at this clock and see it as a "joke", Axel does not. He is scared for what might come.

And for what might get him..
