Derek's+Group

The day was 7/10/01 in the state of New York, for most people it was just a regular day. Get up, get dressed, eat breakfast, and rush of to work. But for 4 boys this day would change their life forever and only three numbers were what they would remember of that day, 7-10-01. The three boy’s names were Albert English who came to be known as AL, Derek Vento better known as D-Roc, Devon Rice also known as Dev, and Brandyn Nichols also known as Bmore. These boys had never met each other and didn’t even know if the others even existed. Hence, they all would be brought together by the events that would transpire that day. All they thought was that today was just another typical day. Sadly they were so wrong, but they also didn't know that what would lead them to meet the their best friends and take them on a ride they'd never forget. It was 6:30am on the morning of 7-10-01 and Albert’s mom was getting ready for work, she had made bacon and eggs. This was Albert’s personal favorite. Albert came down and ate his breakfast and went to watch TV. His mother was on the way out the door when she told him "remember Albert the future is in your hands". As she went out and the door Albert watched his mother wait for the bus which she did every day. When she boarded, something made him look at the license plate which read 71001. Down the street there was another boy getting ready for the day, his name was Derek Vento. Derek was doing his homework that morning and his mother had just left for work. While doing his homework he noticed one of the questions was, name the street that you live on. Derek wrote down on his paper 710 and 01st avenue. About 3 blocks away lived Devon Rice, who was desperately trying to find something to wear and just couldn’t decide. Devon didn’t have a lot of time either because he would be leaving with his mom to go to a doctor’s appointment which was scheduled for 7:10am office 01. Around the corner resided a boy named Brandyn Nichols. He was eating his breakfast and watching ESPN. His mother was on her way out to go and catch the work bus. Brandyn lived in the suburbs of Brooklyn, and loved to watch his mom catch the bus. As she boarded the bus she waved to him and he waved back. Brandyn then looked up into the clouds, he saw that the clouds were shaped in the numbers 71001. As the bus moved around and picked up it’s passengers it started to rain. It started out as a light drizzle but soon developed into a very heavy down pour. The bus driver was in a hurry to get to his destination, he was running late as usual. The driver was coming up to a red light but decided to run it thinking he could make it but was terribly wrong. As he ran the red light a truck carrying kerosene smashed into the side of the bus instantly making the bus flip over. The collision of the crash had caused the bus' engine to catch on fire which was burning a crimson red. The Gas truck was leaking it’s kerosene on to the scene making an even bigger disaster. It leaked and traveled its way towards the bus like a snake slithering toward its prey. The passengers were trapped and there was nothing they could do to prevent it. Albert and Brandyn's mothers were part of the passengers on the bus. When the kerosene reached the burning bus it exploded with a thunderous BBBBBOOOOMMMMM! The explosion carried the bus into the air crashing into nearby vehicles, one of those being Devin Rice’s mother killing her instantly. The gas truck was heaved into the air in to another group of cars which included Derek Vento’s mother who died later of critical injures. After the all the precautions and post events were made and they identified the dead, Devon, Brandyn, Albert, and Derek were all sent to the same foster home which is were the story really begins. It was now 7 years later and the boys had nearly forgotten about the day of 7/10/01. While there Devon, Brandyn, and Derek had become great friends, Albert kept to himself and rarely talked to the other boys. One day Albert was playing basketball by himself when a group of kids arrived and told him to get off the court. Albert said that he was there first and he wasn’t going anywhere. Derek, Devon, and Brandyn were watching this unfold and didn’t like what they were seeing so they made their way over to the scene. The group of kids then tried to jump Albert but Derek, Devin, and Brandyn jumped in and scared them off. After the incident they all sat down and got to know each other. They each told their own personal story of how they had gotten into the foster home. Something that neither of them had ever shared with anyone until now. As they each listened to each others stories they started to realize that their stories had all fit together, but quickly came to the conclusion that it couldn’t be possible. That was until they went back into the Foster Home and found a old newspaper dated 7/10/01. They each read the article about a big crash involving a bus, a truck and even more automobiles. When they finished they stared at each other in amazement, they had just realized that they all were connected to the tragedy. Albert explained how that the numbers on the back of the license plate on the bus read 71001 and his mother was on that bus, Brandyn then had said his story which was pretty much the same as Albert’s. Derek then told of how he lived on 710 and 01 avenue, and Devon had recited how his mother had a doctor’s appointment which was scheduled for 7:10 am at office number 01. As they finished listening and talking, the boys decided that they needed to escape from the Foster Home. That night they were walking the hallways and soon escaped outside. Devon had been holding the old newspaper when suddenly a vortex opened up out of the article in a flash and was hovering above. The boys took one look at each other and decided that this might be their only chance of escape and they jumped in. The second they jumped lights were flashing, sounds of all different kinds were going off and scenes from the past were passing by like light through a room, it was the streets of New York City. Seconds later they all hit the ground with a loud thud. When they came to their senses they wondered where they were. Albert then noticed a sign in a nearby store that read the date 7-10-01. He soon showed the others what he had noticed and they couldn’t believe their eyes, they actually had traveled back in time. At that exact moment Devon said "hey why don’t we try to make it so that the accident doesn’t happen so then our parents will live"! After they discussed everything they decided that they would go along with the plan. The plan was for Albert to sneak onto the bus before it started its daily run. Then when Devon and Derek had made sure everything was in check Brandyn would give Albert the signal to the wire that makes the gas pedal work. If this works the bus driver who was in hurry will not be able to run the red light and will cause him to come to a halt, preventing him from crashing into the truck and saving their parents lives. After, they had gone over the plan they decided that Albert needed to get into the bus and in position at least one hour before take off. Devon and Derek would be positioned at the scene of the accident making sure everything stayed in place. Brandyn would be positioned across the street ready to give the signal. Well it was now 2 hours before show time and the boys were more than ready. Each of them had purchased walkie-talkies so they could communicate with each other at all times just in case of an emergency. Albert had now just arrived at the bus station and was in position. "This is Al reporting to D-Rock and Dev are you guys in position?", Albert said through his walkie-talkie. "This is D-Roc and Dev and we are in, so is Bmore everything is a go". That’s when Albert heard the engine of the bus come on and take off. The bus was now at Albert’s mother stop and Albert laid his eyes on his mother for the first time in 7 years! Later, the bus came and picked up Brandyn’s mother she was the last stop so Albert knew that it was near time for him to take action. Soon Brandyn received the message from Devon and Derek that everything was good and in check. As Brandyn was about to give Albert the sign to cut the cord he quickly asked Al and the guys over his walkie-talkie if they should just let what happens happen, and let destiny take its course. When the boys heard this they all thought about it and one by one all agreeing that the past shouldn’t be changed. But what really made them agree was when Albert told them what his mothers last words to him that day were "the future is in your hands". At that very moment Albert rolled from underneath the bus and onto the sidewalk where he met with the rest of the boys. Devon asked them if they wanted to go back before the crash or if they wanted to see it. The boys decided to go back saying that the image would be too hard for them to see. At that instant Derek took out the newspaper and tossed it to the ground opening the portal and they jumped in. Again sounds flared, scenes rushed and the colors were motley. They then came down back in the Foster Home with a crash. The whole time they had been gone time had not went on for a second and they were now in the same position they were before they left. After, the boys had sat down on a nearby bench and took in what they had just been through Derek asked them if they think not preventing their parents from dying was worth it. Devon answered, “yeah it was it was there destiny and plus, if we had stopped the accident we would've never met each other and I wouldn’t want that to happen”. Brandyn and Albert then nodded in agreement that they wouldn’t want it any other way. The boys then decided that they needed some rest and it was time to hit the sack. As they were walking to their dorms Brandyn asked “hey, you want to go back in time again tomorrow and stop something else?". The boys answered that they had had enough time travel to last a lifetime. Years later the boys were all moved out of the Foster Home. They all went and attended college, Albert was drafted to the NBA, Brandyn became a master architect, Derek was drafted to the NHL, and Devon became a professional artist using his graffiti talents. In conclusion the boys with going all their achievements never forgot the day of **7-10-01****.**
