You've been dismissed from school early because you got suspended for fighting a classmate for speaking on [[your family’s financial situation]], again.
Slowly but surely after ariving home, you notice that the door is slightly cracked open. You think nothing of it, walk in, and close the door behind you. However that’s when you noticed the estranged quietness around the house.
Do you:
[[Yell to your mom and dad that you're home | Option 1]]
[[Quietly explore the house just in case | Option 2]]“MOM…DAD!”
You don’t remember them saying that they weren’t going to be here before you went off to school, so where could they be?
Going into the living room, you pick up the remote and turn the TV on. The last thing on there was the news your Dad watched last night, but it wasn’t the normal news anchors that you usually see, it was a government official talking about somebody named Dr. Khan from New York who created a virus that spreads through bodily fluids and how masks should start being worn because it causes symptoms such as coughing, fatigue, runny nose, sneezing, and death.
“I highly suggest that all families should stock up on non-perishables and supplies because places with higher cases will be going on lockdown for quarantine. I wish everyone a happy and healthy journey. Thank you!”
Feeling eerie, you turn the tv off and look at the family car in the driveway.(set: $Keys to true)
[[Search for the keys]]
[[Ignore and check the rest of the house| Option 2]]

You slowly walk to the kitchen to grab a weapon and eventually make your way around the rest of the house.
After realizing there is no threat, you go towards your room and contemplate on completing homework so you won't fall behind or taking a nap until your parents get back.You already know your family isn't as fortunate as others, but y'all scrape by, and you wouldn’t trade them for the world. The suspension isn't a big deal because it's the third suspension of the year, so you decided to start walking back home to prepare for the lecture you parents are going to give.
