the boy in the mist

chapter 1

It was a foggy morning on the way to school. I was looking out the bus window when all of a sudden I saw something pass by the corner of my eye. I looked back trying to find it, and there I saw a boy running through the fog. He had a grin on his face, it was barely visible because of the fog but I faintly saw it.

School was different today, people acted scared of me, it was a little worrying if i must say. I didn't know why, all my friends kept walking away from me when I tried to talk to them. It got really concerning at lunch though, they sat with me sure but no one talked.. it was so quiet I didn't like it. I wonder if this connects with the boy I saw.....

The bus ride home was quiet. I took it as a blessing at first but then I started thinking, 'are they staring at me?', 'what if I look weird?', 'why is it so quiet? It's a bus ride home..'
overall i started freaking out until i finally heard someone speak, "why are you guys so quiet? It's freaking me out..", the "jock", Aiden spoke. I looked back, overlooking the entire bus, it was a strange thing to witness, everyone behind me, quiet. It wasn't a big bus but it fit around 35 students.
