Destiny Countdown

Summer break is over and it's the first day of school. Everyone is gathered at the assembly hall to hear what the principal has to say.

It's time to kickstart our journey of learning after the long, fun-filled summer vacations. Welcome back to school! This time is filled with anticipation for new beginnings, exciting adventures, and fresh challenges. The slate is clean, so let's start this exciting new chapter together, the principal said.

Everyone cheers as the principal leaves. Soon after they also leave.The Bell rings and everyone leaves to go to their classes but Jake, his squad and Alex stay behind.

Have you finished our assignments? Jake, the school's quarterback asked.

Um...a-about that, my dog tore your assignments when I went to get a snack.

What?!? The guys standing next to Jake exclaimed.

I think I missed the part where that was my problem, Jake said.

Jake held Alex's neck and pinned him to the locker.

You better find a way to give us our assignments before our next class or else I will make your life a living hell, Jake said.

They all leave to their classes.Before the bell signaled the transition to the next class for everyone, Alex asks for permission to use the restroom. He opened the window and climbed out. Alex is returning home from his shift. Jake and his squad cornered him in the alleyway. They beat him severely, nearly to the point of his death. At dawn, Skylar goes for a run and sees him in the alleyway. She quickly runs up to him.

What happened to you?, She asked.

She immediately dials 911 and after some time they show up.

They take him to the hospital. The doctor tends to him and after some minutes emerges to inform her that she can visit him.

What happened to you? She asked.

I-I wasn't able to complete Jake and his squad's assignment and as a result they cornered me and beat me up.Alex said.

I don't get it, it was just an assignment, Skylar said.

Do you ever pay attention in class? Alex said.

What has this got to do with what we are talking about? She asked.

The assignment was worth 80% of our grade. He said.

Wait... Really? She asked.

Yes, really? He said.

I don't think he would beat you up for that.She said.

I know it's not because of that. He said.

Then why? She asked.

Because of what I did, the teacher embarrassed him in front of his crush. He said.

Oh, that makes sense now. She said

You know what? He asked

What? She said.

I'm done with him.He said.

You always say that. She said

I know but this time I'm done done. She said.

So, what are you going to do to stop him from bullying you? Sha asked.

Um...I don't know.He said.

It's not as if you could develop an app that predicts your cause of death and use it for revenge.She said.

And how do you plan on using it for for revenge? He asked.

You could use it to scare him? She said

That's it! He exclaimed.

What? She asked

Nothing.He said

I have to leave. She says and leaves.

Five Day later.....

(Clicking noises)

I'm done. He said.

Now I just have to upload it. He says and uploads it and also figure out how to make Jake download it.
