Okay, so, like, the first time I read your prompt I missed the post-split part, and this happened:
Spencer never thought he'd miss going to school, but he does. He misses math and he misses gym and he misses recess and being outside for more than five minutes every day. He liked fifth grade, okay?
Right now he doesn't care about school though. Ryan was supposed to come to them after the third storm ebbed out, but he didn't. Spencer doesn't know where Ryan is.
He kicks at the table a little bit, and he thinks about where Ryan could be. There aren't that many places, Ryan's only twelve and he can't have gotten very far, not if he is by himself (Mr Ross got taken to the hospital this morning, he was on the list they read on the radio, but Ryan wasn't). Spencer thinks some more about where Ryan could be, and then he decides.
Five minutes later, his backpack holds a knife and three extra masks and four cans of Sprite, and he is on his way out the back door as quietly as he can because his mom will stop him if she sees him. He's wearing a mask, though.
