what?? that sucks why would you walk and not go anywhere but school!?
anyway.. when dealing with flats, first check the tire itself, inside and out slowly, run your fingers along the inside and see it there's anything puncturing it
then if there's nothing it's probably a pinch flat or you have a slow leak
take out the tube itself and blow it up really big like a tube for swimming and put your nose above it while turning it to feel the air coming out of the tube. if you find the hole, fix it if you want or buy a new one
if you don't find the hole it's probably a slow leak and will go flat again and again every night until you buy a new tube.
