John looked at the spot where his science teacher, Mr.Warner had just been standing. And now it was empty space. What the hell?! What was happening. The kid who sat next to him was gone too. "What the hell is going on?" a girl asked, looking around the room for anyone who might have an answer. No one did. John stood up and decided to go look around. "I'm gonna go look for an adult. Anyone is welcome to join me." But in the back of his mind, John knew he wouldn't find an adult. Strange things had been happening, and to be honest, this might not have been the strangest.

Chai was walking to the teachers room with some papers from the student council, papers about the cultural festival that takes every year, once she got in she noticed there were no teacheres there, which was odd, there were always 3 or 4 as minimun. She walked outside the room and heard something about the teachers desapeparng and she just smiled thinking it was a joke.

[smarty0114]

John spotted Chai as he was walking around. "Hey Chai, have you seen any adults?"

[KingOfKings]

"adults you say? no...but everyone is jiking that they have disappeared..." she said and walked to the head teacher's room, there was no one there, "this is strange,,,i'll call the police" she did so but no one picked up the phone. Chai looked at John with a worried face

Arabella had her head down, absorbed in the book she was reading. She blinked and surfaced from the world of the novel upon hearing shocked gasps and cries. The 14 year-old glanced up and frowned when she noticed that their science teacher was gone. She looked at the girl that was sitting next to her. "W-What's going on?" She asked quietly. "Mr. Taylor just vanished! One minute he was standing there and the next minute poof!" Arabella blinked at that information before she got up and peeked outside, hearing commotion from the other classrooms and she saw more kids poke their heads out of the door.

It was probably quite a shock to children at the school to find out there were no adults... not to Susanne though, mostly because she was still snoring, not bothering for school that day. However, her sleep was interrupted by her cell phone ringing. With few mumbling curses, she managed to swipe her lamp off of the nightdesk before finally managing to grab her phone under the plankets to see it was one of her brothers. "This better be really important..." Rebecca said in her woken up state, sighing annoyed.

However, her brother seemed to be extremely relieved that she was even answering though they even barely said a friendly word to each other. Apparently something had happened in the school and he couldn't find any adults. Even the older brother had gone missing from the school with everyone of his classmates. He was asking if Susanne could go check if their dad was around to pick him up from the school.

"Alright, fine... I'll go get him..." she said. The old man was probably either on the toilet, or suffering the later hangover. Getting up, Susanne didn't even bother to put any extra clothing on. "DAD! DAAAD! YOU NEED TO PICK JASON FROM THE SCHOOL!" She started shouting, wondering around the small apartment, going from door after another until ending up on the living room. The tv was on, but on the couch, instead of a drinking father figure of the year, there was only everything from his pockets, and one fresh opened can on the mattress in front of it, the cheap beer can soaking the floor. Looking around the stuff she then looked more closely, as she noticed the keys to her dads van on there. He didn't let those out of his sight, the damn van was more important to him than his kids for crying out loud. A bit of a smirk grew on Susannes face as she carefully took hold of the keys... her little brother needed to be picked up from school huh?

Chai walked to the Radio club room and asked to use the microhpone, "to every sudent in this school, we are having problems right now, as you can see the teachers have disappeared and we have no answer from the police. Please stay calm, we are trying to contact your parents right now, so leave everyhting to the student council" she ended the speech and turned of the micro looking down to the floor "this is getting crazy..." she walked outside the radio room and went to talk with the rest of the council, most of them were bussy using the phones.

"So you haven't. It's not a joke Chai. Mr.Warner just vanished and it seems like a couple of kids did too." John said, a worried look on his face. "We need to get everybody in one place" John said, going over places in his head. Not the beach. The school maybe. Or the plaza. Yes. Kids could find anyone who needed help on the way. "Start telling kids to get to the plaza," John said as he ran off to deliver the news.

[Tarantulass]

It took roughly 20 minutes or so, before the rather quiet streets got hell of a lot noisier. At first it was the sound of the vans engine and wheels, then the sound of few shunting crashes as the inexperienced driver took a few hits from the stopped cars on the road, then it was the trashing music, banging from the tuned speakers inside the van. Driving the van to the walkway in front of the school doors, Susanne was getting more than few odd eyes from the school windows, as she rolled down her own, letting the mainstream kids hear get some proper edge in their fluffy ears.

"Hola!" Susanne just shouted, honking the horn as she tried to signal her brother to come outside. "You said to come and get ya, so get your sorry ass down here!" Susanne shouted, barely even hearing herself over the music, as she then sighed, starting to dig her cell phone from her pocket to call the kid.

The van

John was running from room to room telling kids to get to the plaza when he heard the obnoxious music. "What the hell is that?!" John ran outside and saw the van. "What the hell are you doing? Do you even know what's going on?!" John shouted at the driver who he thought was in his history class.

[Tarantulass]

((Oh yeah, the music so you can fit into the theme :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6to2A4kbJs ))

Susanne was trying to make the call, when someone came up to the van to bother her. Closing the phone, she peaked outside towards the guy, leaning on the open window with her elbows. "What? You try to ask me what's going on? Just drove through a literal ghosttown. The downtown is quite a fucking wreck. Isn't that just fancy!" she shouted. "But yeah, bugger off!" she then said, flipping a bird to him before rolling the window closed, grinning at the guy as she went back to her phone.

[smarty0114]

John scowled at the girl then stalked towards the plaza, and soon kids started following him. The first thing he noticed was the wrecks. So many cars were totaled. It seemed as if every person in town who could drive was gone. God this was bad. Very bad.

[XxLyraxX]

Arabella nervously followed some other kids to the plaza, wondering just what in the world was going on. Where were all the adults? Why was she hearing about some kids vanishing as well?

[KingOfKings]

Chai saw Arabella and messed her hair playfuly "dont worry kids, we will find a solution to this" she said though it was a lie, she didnt know whatw as happaning and was also scared, even so she had to act as th "mother" and calm everyone down

Tony woke up in the back of his classroom hesitantly, was class over? No one was in the room, not even his teacher. What the hell? Was this some kind of joke? Hart cautiously stepped out of the room, and grimaced at the sight of the craziness going on in the hallways. Kids were bustling around, seeming to have no idea what was going on. Tony heard someone say that all the teachers just disappeared, and even some of the older kids. Then, a feminine voice crackled on the intercom. "To every sudent in this school, we are having problems right now, as you can see the teachers have disappeared and we have no answer from the police. Please stay calm, we are trying to contact your parents right now, so leave everyhting to the student council." Tony tried processing this, and it finally sunk in. Something horrible was happening, he needed to figure out what. He pushed past people, trying to exit the school, some guy was telling everyone to go to the plaza. They followed him like sheep to a shepherd. Hart followed him, looking for answers. He was yelling at a girl in a van, he grabbed his shoulder. "Hey, do you know what's going on? I heard that people have gone missing?"

[smarty0114]

John was startled by a touch on his shoulder. "Hey, do you know what's going on? I heard that people have gone missing?" John turned around and said, "Just go to the plaza. I''l announce everything there." John then turned back and kept on walking towards the plaza. When he reached the circle of stores surrounding a large platform with a podium he got on top of it and prepared to speak.

[Tarantulass]

Dialing her phone, Suanne watched everyone following the prick that had just interrupted her... these people had all they could ever want from the world right now, and the first thing they went with was the safe, the comfortable option. Shivering in disgust Susanne kept calling to her brother but getting no answer. "Goddamnit..." she muttered. Where had he gone in such short notice? Not sure, he had quite a lot of motivations to be out there... and as Susanne listed those things in her mind, she was starting to get an itch for those possibilities as well.

These people were going to the plaza... and all the stores of all kind were open for the five finger discount. It didn't take a rocket scientist to match the odds of her getting the best from the top, as she the started to back the van, making few of the students around the van walking quickly get out of the way. "Choo choo! Get out of my sight!" she shouted through the window, trying to get clear from the masses of people, not caring much for anything else but the bumps on her brand new van.

[DaDrummer676]

Tony smirked, "do you really think these kids are going to listen? They're probably freaking the hell out. Every adult and some kids have just disappeared off the face of the earth, they are scared. We need something to attract them. How about we use that van? The music will attract the kids, then you can make your speech or whatever you're planning on doing. Who are you by the way? I'm Tony." Hart liked whoever this guy was, he seemed like he knew what he was doing. Tony decided that he would stick with him, everything was about to get anarchic. Kids were running about, with no one to stop them. He could already see that one house was on fire. What kind of dumb idiot would set a house on fire? People would soon realize that no one was watching over them and would do anything they wanted to. Tony could see the pros and cons of this situation. There was a lways a part of him that liked the idea of something like this. No rules is basically every teenager's dream.

"Hey! Everyone quiet!" John shouted, shutting up most of the kids who had been yapping away before. "I know you guys are scared. And worried. But everything is going to be fine. We just need to arrange a plan. A temporary plan because this should only last for a few days. First why don't you all go check on your houses and your neighbors. Make sure everyone is alright. Find all the little kids and bring them to the plaza. We can set up a daycare here." John said. This earned the nods of agreement of most of the crowd. "I've just got to keep these kids under control. Can't let anyone get to crazy," John thought to himself as he watched kids go off to check on their houses.
