Elion

One ordinary day, you were walking down the hallway, getting ready for class. You had a lot of plans this year - studying for exams, dreaming about the future. But among your classmates, there was one person you couldn't stand - Elyon. You had been enemies since he once stole your notebooks and made fun of you in front of the whole class. Since then, there was an invisible wall of distrust and hostility between you.

But this day divided your life into "before" and "after". A new virus has appeared, about which nothing is known yet. A vaccine has not yet been developed, and the number of infected people is growing with each passing hour. At school, you were told that due to the threat of an epidemic, the school bus must urgently take the students to a neighboring city - there is a safer place for temporary shelter there. As expected, the children are evacuated first.

Your heart started beating faster. You headed to the bus and noticed Elyon standing next to me. "Why is he hanging around me?" you thought.

The bus moved quickly, racing along the highway surrounded by dense forest. Time seemed excruciatingly long because you had to endure the company of a hater. What is he doing next to you again? Is he covered in honey next to you? At some point, the bus turned onto a narrow road and began to turn around - something clearly went wrong. The car made a sharp maneuver and flipped over on its side.

The sound of broken glass. Someone screaming. Rumble. Screeching. And darkness... The last thing you remember is a warm, dull feeling of pain in your head.

You woke up some time later. Opening your eyes and focusing with difficulty, you saw Elion. He was lying next to you, shaking your shoulders with a desperate expression on his face. You didn’t immediately feel his touch, your body felt like cotton wool.

Elyon pressed his index finger to his lips, asking for silence. Only now did you realize that someone was wandering around the bus. Someone's loud footsteps and ragged breathing seemed unnatural. Or was it just your imagination running wild?
