Dana's POV

Where the heck is David? Is he sick or something? He seemed fine yesterday. Who gets sick on their second day of school anyways?

I should've gotten his number, then I could ask him about it. It's too late now. Maybe he's just late, maybe he isn't going to be here first class but is coming back later in the day.

Yeah, that's probably it. Too bad we can't deal with Rebecca's stares together though. Her glare is way too creepy to handle alone sometimes. Hey Dana, maybe you should actually be listening to the teacher instead of asking these questions. Yeah, that's probably a good idea. Oh shoot, didn't he say this was going to be on a test? Oh shoot! Oh freaking shoot!

"Dana?" Someone nudges me in the arm and hands me a couple pieces of paper with writing on them.

Oh, good. It's just my friend Angela. I guess she took notes for me because I wasn't paying attention. I mouth a thank you to her and she just a nods, winking.

Her trusty drumsticks were sticking out of her bag and I smiled at the thought of it. I remember back when I moved here from Pennsylvania she would start drumming on a nearby surface and sang as loud as she could just to get a startled reaction out of me.

I've gotten used to it since then. I would've loved if we were allowed seven people in our group, then she could've joined with us but she had other friends.

The bell rang which brought me out of my thoughts. at least I won't have a class with Rebecca again today. I could basically feel her staring into my head.

~~~~~~~~

Finally, it's lunch. Maybe David is back now? I had to stay back after my last class so I rush to our table to meet up with the others. When I get there I'm surprised to see that Cole and Dalton, or as I like to call them, Colton were talking to Gabe. This usually never happens considering they almost never look up from each other long enough to talk to someone else.

Will and David weren't there though. That surprised me as well, Will was always the first one here and he almost never misses a day of school. Did the food they ate yesterday give them food poisoning or something? No, they were eating different things and Cole had the same thing as Will did. Cole seems fine to me.

"Hey, where's David and Will?" I asked.

"I really have no idea, David wasn't in Latin class and Will wasn't at Drama." Gabe replied.

That's really weird. Suddenly someone taps my shoulder, I turn to see a boy who looks kind of like Will.

"Sorry for interrupting, I couldn't help but overhearing- oh who am I kidding, I was eavesdropping. Will's my brother, the name's Alex." The dude smiled.

"Uh, hi. I'm Dana, this is Dalton, Cole and Gabe." I tell the boy.

"Anyways, Will went over to his new friend's house last night. He lives two houses away from us so my mom didn't think anything would happen. His mom called my mom this morning. They both went missing last night. Apparently the dude's mom heard something in the early morning and came down to see that they were gone."

What? They disappeared? Oh my gosh, that's terrible!

"I know my brother wouldn't wake up early to run away from home. Actually, I think he'd rather stand school than do extra physical activity. The police can't do anything though, it's been less than 42 hours and they're sure they had just ran away to skip school. I really don't think so though. His family and my family have been making posters to put up around town for the time being. Yeah, thought I should just tell you that. Uh, I have to go now, my friends are waiting, bye." Alex sped off before we could thank him for his information.

"So David and Will were kidnapped then?" Cole looked genuinely scared.

"Don't overreact Pendery, maybe the police were right? A lot of kids want to skip school these days." Gabe said.

"No, I don't think so. David really had nothing to run from, neither did Will. In fact, David seemed to like it here and I'm sure Will has other friends other than David to stay here for." Dalton shook his head.

This was all too frustrating. I shove a piece of food in mouth and start to chew. Both Will and David are gone, why were they even kidnapped? What do the kidnapper's even want with them? I mean, no offence to either of them but Will seems like a pushover and David is a new kid, what could they give to help a 'cause? Neither of their families seem too rich, considering they go to this school.

"Hey Dana, what's wrong? You're stress eating again." A female voice says.

I turn to see Angela again. Oh great, I had stopped stress eating for a while, now it's back? Perfect, just how I wanted my day to go.

"Will and David are missing." I sigh.

Then I heard someone whispering. Cole was quietly singing under his breath but I could hear him, loud and clear.

"Dana and Angela sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes-"

"Shut up Cole. Just shut up" I say, his face was mirroring innocence but I saw right through it.

"Well, anyways. I better get back to my girls. We don't have choir today so I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Angela waves as she walks off.

Her hair looks really pretty today. It looks so wavy and- wait what? No, Dana stop. She is older than you, what are you doing? Your mom will freaking kill you, just stop. Plus she's one of your best friends.

Ok Dana, just eat your food before the bell rings. You can talk with the boys about this later. You are free after school ok?

~~~~~~~~~~

Education is too hard. At least I don't have homework to do today.

The boys and I had decided to meet up after school at Gabe's house. Gabe said he could drive us there which sounded great, now I didn't have to pay for a city bus. I mean, why can't the school get some freaking school buses? It's not like you use school funds for anything important.

I look for Gabe and I immediately see him. He's with his girlfriend again though, ew, PDA! They are literally making out in the school parking lot. There are children watching!

I walk up to the two and they break up, blushing. Ha, that's why there are PDA rules. They say goodbye to each other and Alex walks off. Wait, I just realized that his girlfriend's name is Alex and Will's brother's name is Alex. Ha, that's f'in hilarious. I mean, what would happen if they hung out together and then Gabe asks Alex for a kiss and then Will's brother gets weirded out. Actually, I think he'd get weirded out anyways.

Wait, when'd Cole and Dalton get here? Are they talking to me? Oops.

"What?" I blurt.

"I said, you're sitting in the front seat so Colton can be together." Gabe rolled his eyes.

Wait, Colton was my thing! Did he take it from me or is it just the most obvious ship name ever? Probably the latter.

I nod and get into the passenger seat. Then we're off to Gabe's house to discuss the current events and our choir thing.

~~~~~~~~

"-then we'll end off with the last whoa-oh from Will." Dalton says, we had just finished discussing the rest of the song. I'm quite happy with it.

"If he ever gets back that is." Cole ruined the moment.

"Hey, don't talk like that. They'll get back. They're probably fine." Gabe tried comforting Cole.

"Besides, we talked about this already." I assured him. We had talked about it right before we started arranging again.

We had all agreed that if they didn't get back then the police would find them both. If they didn't then we would help their families through this. We were all worried about them, even if we had barely gotten to know them.

The silence after my statement was broke when the tune of 'Sexy and I Know It' filled the room. I'm pretty sure it was my phone judging from the look on the others' faces. It's a text from my mom, asking me if I was going to come home or sleep outside in the bushes. Oh shoot, it's 9:00, I said I'd be home by nine. I'm in so much trouble when I get home. I really hope she doesn't lock the doors to keep me outside, she's done it before and it was raining.

"Hey, I uh, have to go now." I say as I start to pack up, quickly.

The boys wave and we exchange farewells. if we keep this up we might actually become friends. Well, I'm friends with Gabe already, not so much Colton but a dude can dream.

I'm just going to walking to my house since it's only two blocks away. I pass a bunch of buildings on my way. A lot large houses in LA, it's a small change from Pennsylvania but it was still hard to get used to when I moved here. I got used to it though, it's been like, three years since I moved.

Why do I feel like someone is watching me suddenly? That can't be the case, I don't think I know anyone who lives here. Maybe it's just someone admiring me, I wouldn't be surprised if they were. I'm pretty darn hot apparently.

I'm passing an alleyway when I feel a force pulling me into it and then, all I see is black.

What the heck is happening?

A/N

I'm really not planning to update daily, it's just that we had a power outage yesterday and I woke up early so I had time to write and edit this.

Let's get a few things straight now, I did not just figure out that there were two Alex's concerning the IM5 fandom but I thought it'd be darn funny if Dana just figured that out. I also talk to myself in my head in third person to scold myself so now Dana's gonna do it too.

Also, Colton will probably be a thing in this and I ship Wavid 100% so I may or may not make them a thing too. It depends really.

Angela is ThatOne5er btw, she's amazing and she asked nicely so there you go. Also, Angela is played by Zendaya so you can get the gist of what she looks like. Plus the height difference.

Ok, yeah. Until next time!
