Instead, I feel the emotions that I felt the terror and sorrow that I was in. I felt happy at first. It was a boring day at home.

As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden hue over campus, Charlie, Maya, Ethan, and Liam gathered in their secret hiding place, the old abandoned hedge garden behind the science building.
