Just as a little side note, in this story Toby for plot purposes is like Decilley and at school with them. He still looks the same but without having an axe or goggles on. For plot purposes NO ONE can recognize  him.
|Autumn's P.O.V|

"I haven't heard or seen Decilley since lunch! I texted him about it and he isn't even answering me!  I get it was upsetting but come on we need this grade!" Scott ranted upset at the fact that Tommy had not been in his class when they were meant to work together on a presentation.

"Yeah I know, you won't stop reminding me. and YOU need the grade not him, its your fault for blowing off your time on games!" I rolled my eyes as I headed towards our social studies class slipping between the tiny spaces my classmates left open leaving Scott to find his own way past them. Funny thing was he somehow always managed to get right back next to me and start the conversation over. "ugh! You never give up on things do you?" I gave a soft growl as if invitation for him to complain again.

"You don't scare me, I know your true colors." He said giving me a small shove me responding by doing one back.  He did it once again but this time he made me stumble sideways almost making me hit a girl in the hallway. Luckily I quickly weaved my body sideways making me miss her only by a inch or two. She didn't turn around thankfully but I still playfully glared at Scott.  "Oh you should be scared of me, I'm more evil then you think Assh*le."

"Yeah right, you never hurt anyone unless you have to Freak."

"At least I can hurt someone, your so weak you'd lose to a kid."

"Trust me the only time I'll lose anything is when I'm betting on you to win anything."

"Well at least I'm not so short as to the point where I can't go on any amusement park rides till I'm like 36 years."

I smiled at the small growl that followed my last one and at his look of silent thinking. "Can't think if an insult for my height can you~." I smiled saying it with a small laugh as he rolled his eyes.

"You win this time." He gave a evil smile as he stepped into the classroom, me just noticing we were there. I quickly went inside and sat in my seat  at my table which was at the back of the room. I ignored my fellow students who sat there with me and instead finally let my thoughts wonder. Why didn't Tommy show up to class? He almost never misses them unless he had to, and then again he left lunch half way through with no care. "Did he ask about some weird symbols, is it possible he knew something?"

"Autumn." 

I did a quick look up and saw a boy at my table who I believed to be named Brady pointing at the teacher. I looked at the teacher and saw he was directing tables to the cromecart. I felt embarrassment leak it's way to my face as I stood up, I thanked him and made my way over. I focused on my work, but still had my thoughts at the back of my mind.

If he knew something

. . .

Why didn't he tell us?

|Same P.O.V|

Once the teacher told us to pack up I closed the tabs and logged out putting it into the cromecart when my table was called. I grabbed my bag and left right as the bell rang not wanting to be bothered by Scott. I made my way down the hall passing groups of students most of which I had never paid noticed to but today . . . Today I felt like someone was watching me and I kept my eyes up and open. Once I made it to the doors I leaned against the way waiting for Livvie, Tommy and Toby.

Toby was a friend of Tommy's who Me, Livvie, and April had met when we first began walking together. He was a huge friend to Zoey and I wondered what all he learned from the morning. I waited a few more minutes before remembering that Livvie had an appointment today and left early. Tommy isn't here anymore so he isn't coming but where's Toby?  After a few more minutes I sat there slightly worried and feeling weird as some of my teachers passed by me leaving.

Almost no one near the door except for a few students and it felt weird being here for so long. Where is he? Did he leave too? I mean I may not know him as well as Zoey and Tommy but I hope nothing bad happened to him.  Something felt weird in the pit of my stomach as u stood. It felt weird to be here when it was so quiet . . .

"Autumn!"

I let out a scream when someone grabbed my shoulder and yelled at me from behind. I kicked my leg back without thinking and flattening my ears turning to his at the person as my fur stood on end. "Hey!"  I watched as Toby fell down from the kick I gave to his leg, but he didn't react to it.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!" After calming a bit I screamed at him for his stupidity of sneaking up in me.

"I-I'm sorry." He said with a small shocked smile. " I didn't know y-y-you could do that."

"Don't try and distract me! You gave me a hard attack!"

"Sorry." He suddenly twitched his neck to the side. If I wasn't used to a thing like that happening it probably scared me, but Tommy had wasted no time in telling them about the disorders Toby had. Not even I knew how the two met but Toby and Tommy went the same way to get to there homes and they walked together. Since we headed the same way Me Livvie and April took to walking with them until we came upon our house. Even hung out With the two after school once and a while, but usually only Tommy hung out with us.

I still considered Toby a friend since got along with him pretty well and he was pretty funny even though I didn't know much about him. He hung out more with Zoey, which I didn't understand how. We hung out with her a lot yet they always seemed to hang out together with Matthew. Scott was the only one who hadn't really met him.

After I yelled at him a bit more with everyone who was still there staring at us, we headed off out the doors and towards where April waited. I stayed silent angry about the whole thing but then I began thinking about how he got there. I was standing just outside of the door so I would of heard it open, plus I was looking at the hallways and the staircase that was near by. "I said I was sorry come on." I snapped out of my thoughts realizing as I was trying to find reasonable explanations for how we got there Toby was trying to get my attention with a smile frown on his face.

"I'll never forgive you for that." I gave him a playful glare but he took it more seriously looking like he was about to say something with a slight growl. "But that is not what I was thinking about." His expression changed after he seemed to calm down a bit. I'm getting better with his small mood swings.

"W-well what was it you were t-t-thinking about?" He said with a small lace of concern in his voice.

"How did you get behind me with me noticing? I was only about a foot away from the door." I straightened up as I saw him flinch, but from what was diffenatly not a Tic. "Well?" I gave him my best glare/yes? Looks that mom's give when their children do something bad.

"I o-o-opened the door beside you and w-wal-walked in, you must n-not of noticed." He told me with a small shy smile.  I couldn't tell if it was because he was lieing or if he was telling the truth and was just flattered I managed to not noticed. But just in case . . .

"That would be impossible, I may not of seen it, but I would of definitely heard it at least."

"You were l-lost in thought, didn't even turn towards me. " he said firmly seemly ending the conversation. I still wasn't certain but decided against trying to ask again. I'll drop the conversation for now, but something feels suspicious about how he got there.

"Where were you guys!?" I stopped as April rushed up to us looking like she was worried sick.

"We got a little held up." He smiled

"Your the one who took forever and jumped me!" He laughed before glaring at me as I evilly smiled.

"Come on let's head home, I have homework to do, we were supposed to have partners but Decilley wasn't in class and the class was uneven. Basically I only have half of it done and it's pretty hard."

"Deciley wasn't in class?" Toby looked at April confused and we together told him of what happened in the morning and how he left lunch.

He looked unpleased throughout the entire thing and looked a little bit worried. We continued walking changing the conversation and talking about school and making a few jokes and such. April and Toby were laughing about something but I was looking around towards the forest that was next to us. I felt like I was being watched again. After looking around for a few seconds I heard a noise from within the forest and I turned towards it.

I looked slowly trying to find where it was coming from. I spotted a bit of movement in the corner of my eye but before I could get a good view a hard rush of dizziness came over me as well as a aching headache. I found myself stumbling as I leaned against a tree conveniently right next to the sidewalk unlike the other trees.

"Autumn!" I believed April and Toby must of stopped as I saw in the corner of my eye someone kneeling beside me. I tried to stand straight but the world seemed to spin more and my version blurred with the surrounding colors mixing in it. I felt lightheaded  as tried to get up again but my vision faded as I felt myself trip on my own legs. And the last thing I remembered was a stinging pain as I heard someone shout my name.
