Chapter 1: The Bus That Didn't Exist Yesterday

Nobody knew where the bus came from.

It wasn’t on the schedule. It wasn’t on any map.

But there it was, parked behind the school dumpsters.
Gray. Rusty. Humming like a sleeping dragon.

And I—Tasha Bell, professional rule-follower—was the first to step inside

“Where’s this going?” I asked.

“Nowhere,” said the driver. “Exactly nowhere.”

Before I could run, the doors slammed shut.
And that weird humming turned into a ROAR.

The world outside zipped into spaghetti.
And the next thing I knew—

We weren’t on Earth anymore.

Chapter 2:  Welcome to Nowhere

We landed in a town with no signs.
The sky was violet. The moon wore sunglasses.

And standing in front of the bus was a woman in a lab coat, eating a slice of pizza with tweezers.

“Welcome to the School at the Edge of Nowhere,” she said.
“I’m Principal Dreadwell.”

Inside the school, things got… weirder.

There was Finn, who could hold his breath for five hours.
Nova, who hacked satellites “for fun.”
Zeke, who claimed he was raised by raccoons.
And me: the only normal kid.

Or so I thought.

Chapter 3: First Period: Surviving Monster Math 

Our first class? Monster Math.

Literally.

A three-eyed teacher hurled fractions like dodgeballs.

“Convert these decimals or be devoured!” she shouted.

Nova dodged. Zeke chewed on his calculator.
I threw out the correct answer just in time.

The monster exploded into confetti.

Next up: Interdimensional Gym.

We played dodgeball… while falling through a wormhole.
Gravity changed every thirty seconds.
One kid floated to the ceiling and refused to come down.

I did three somersaults, crashed into a portal, and accidentally kicked a dimension in the face.

I got an A+.

Chapter 4: The Rule That Changed Everything

At lunch, the principal made an announcement:

“No one leaves the school unless they pass The Final Challenge.”

“What’s the final challenge?” I asked.

Nobody answered.

Everyone just… looked scared.

That night, Finn told me the truth.

“This place isn’t just weird,” he whispered. “It’s testing us.”

“For what?” I asked.

“To save the world. Or end it.”

He pointed to the locked door at the end of the hallway.
“Behind that door is the Final Challenge. And nobody’s ever come back from it.”
