''Ren. Ren. Wake up.''

''Noooo, I don't want to''

''Please.''

''But it's 5 in the morning.''

''Wake up.''

''Iskall.''

''What?''

''Just go back to sleep ok?

''But I'm not...''

''Read a book then''

''Fine...''

''...''

''Thanks Wels''

''No problem.''

~Time skip~

''Wake up.''

''What? What time is it?''

''Six thirty''

''Fine, you wake the others.''

''Sure.''

''Guys, wake up.''

One by one, the young boys wake up, stretching and yawn, having stayed up until midnight as a dare. They get out of bed, change into their school clothes, then go down to the common room, where False is already waiting for them.

''Hey guys.''

''Hey False. Ready for school?''

''Yep. Also, did you know one of the 5th years is a Metamorphagus? She's so cool. Her name's Layla.''

''Really? That's amazing!''

''Anyways, we should be going to the Great Hall.''

''Yeah...''

They go out, and start walking towards the Hall. The Hufflepuffs and Slytherins are already there, waiting at the door. They go over to say morning, and not even a minute later, they see Zedaph running towards them, Mumbo, X and Joe not far behind. Once Zed reaches them, he accidentally bumps into Impulse, almost knocking him over. Soon the rest reach them too, X shaking his head.

''How are you so fast.''

Bdubs blinks, and suddenly, it's not Xisuma standing there, it's Jamie. He starts losing his balance, the world shifting under him, memories trying to force it's way out. He feels someone grab his shoulder, and suddenly the vision disappears, and he sees Grian holding him with an almost knowing look on his face. He takes a deep breath, then looks around to see if anyone else noticed.

Nope.

He was safe.

The 24 friends then walked into the now-almost-full Great hall, then went their separate ways to their house tables for breakfast.

Yes, I had to bring back the pain, but tbh it's only been a month. There are gonna be a few more mentions of his trauma, but not too much. I think. Also, Iskall is an early bird.

I don't think I'm gonna add the classes, only the important ones, so I'm gonna do a time-skip between now and the next chapter.

Also, the titles for one and 2 look like faces. Good luck unseeing it now XD
