Taco Bell incident

The final bell rang at Scott Valley Junior High, and students flooded out of the building like someone had opened a dam.

Backpacks zipped.

Shoes squeaked.

Someone shouted about Fortnite.

And Jacoby Morrison walked toward the bus stop, exhausted from surviving another school day.

He sighed and pulled out his phone.

“Okay chat,” he muttered while recording a quick TikTok.

“Day 83 recap: still bullied, still alive.”

He shrugged dramatically.

“Honestly that’s progress.”

He stopped recording and looked down the street.

Then his eyes landed on the glowing red sign across the road.

Taco Bell

Jacoby tilted his head.

“…You know what?”

Five minutes later he was sitting at a table with a tray full of food.

Crunchwrap.

Two tacos.

Nacho fries.

A drink the size of a small aquarium.

Jacoby stared at it proudly.

“Tonight we feast.”

He took a massive bite of the Crunchwrap.

“…Okay that’s actually good.”

Ten minutes later the tray was empty.

Jacoby leaned back in his seat.

“…I might regret this.”

He absolutely would.

The Next Day

Morning arrived far too quickly.

Jacoby walked into school at Scott Valley Junior High, looking half-awake and holding his backpack strap.

Something felt… wrong.

His stomach made a suspicious noise.

Jacoby froze mid-step.

“…uh oh.”

He ignored it and kept walking.

First period.

Second period.

Third period.

Everything was fine.

Until fourth period.

Fourth Period – Social Studies (Mrs. Murphy)

Jacoby sat quietly in his desk while Mrs. Murphy lectured about geography.

The classroom was calm.

Peaceful.

Educational.

Then Jacoby’s stomach suddenly twisted like it had been possessed.

His eyes widened.

Oh no.

Another violent cramp hit him.

Jacoby slowly raised his hand.

“Yes, Jacoby?” said Mrs. Murphy.

“…Can I use the bathroom?” he asked carefully.

Mrs. Murphy shook her head.

“Not right now, we’re in the middle of—”

“IT’S AN EMERGENCY.”

The words burst out of Jacoby’s mouth before she finished the sentence.

The entire class turned toward him.

Carter whispered loudly.

“Bro’s fighting demons.”

Jacoby stood up halfway out of his seat.

Mrs. Murphy sighed.

“…Fine. Go.”

Jacoby didn’t even wait for the rest of the sentence.

He grabbed the bathroom pass and sprinted out of the room.

The Bathroom

Jacoby burst into the restroom like a man escaping a disaster movie.

He ran straight into a stall.

SLAM

Door locked.

Three seconds later—

“…oh my god.”

The sounds that followed were not peaceful.

Jacoby leaned his head against the stall wall.

“Why did I eat that much Taco Bell…”

Minutes passed.

The bathroom door suddenly opened.

Jacoby barely noticed.

He was fighting for survival.

Two voices entered the restroom.

“…Are you sure no one’s in here?”

“…It’s during class, it’s fine.”

Jacoby blinked.

Wait.

That voice sounded familiar.

He slowly looked at his phone.

Then at the stall door.

Curiosity won.

Jacoby quietly lifted his phone camera just enough to peek under the stall gap.

His eyes widened.

It was Mrs. Murphy.

And the school janitor.

Jacoby stared.

“…no way.”

The two adults clearly thought the restroom was empty and were whispering to each other awkwardly near the sinks.

Jacoby blinked again.

Then slowly opened TikTok.

He hit record.

The caption he typed read:

“Bro I just wanted to use the bathroom 😭”

He angled the camera carefully while still sitting in the stall.

Jacoby whispered quietly to himself.

“…this is the weirdest day of my life.”

After a few minutes, the two adults left the restroom quickly.

The door shut.

Silence returned.

Jacoby finished his battle with the Taco Bell consequences.

He flushed and stepped out of the stall.

The bathroom looked completely normal again.

Jacoby washed his hands slowly, staring at himself in the mirror.

“…no one is going to believe this.”

His phone suddenly buzzed.

He looked down.

The TikTok had already started getting views.

Fast.

Very fast.

Jacoby blinked.

“…uh oh.”

He slipped his phone back into his pocket and headed toward the classroom.

Completely unaware that the video he just posted was about to cause absolute chaos at school.

And this was only the beginning of the weird things about to happen to Jacoby Morrison.
