Bad Things Happen

Part 6: Survival Fight Within Ourselves

Hey everyone

Just waiting for hiatus for the webtoon to be over - feels like forever since Weak Hero updated T-T

But till then, here, hope this is to your liking :D

"Can you just admit that you have no friends in your own class?" Alex asked, not expecting an answer – and didn't get one – as he stood behind Gerard, watching as the guy tried beating his score on this mobile game.

Alex Go sat in his seat, bored out of his mind.

No, this was not because Ben Park was taking too long getting Eugene and Gray Yeon so they could all hang out in the secret room they have all for themselves.

It was because, while he sat in his seat, Gerard was just sitting there, not talking, just failing at the game and trying to beat the unbeatable score Alex had made. "Come on...I'm bored. Let's do something..." He sighed, so very, very bored.

Rowan and Teddy weren't here – he guessed they were doing whatever they were doing in their own class. They'd said something about joining them soon enough...

"Hm...Gerard, when do you think until Big Ben gets here?"

He got no response, to which he just sighed even more, exasperated. "Yeah, probably a while." Leaning back in his chair, he stared up, at the ceiling, and saw the light. But...There was something weird about it. Wasn't the light always bright white? But...

Why's the light open when there is sunlight from outside? It's still midday...

Staring at the windows, he was even more confused. The sun was there, yes, but then, why was the lights open in the class?

Huffing in irritation, he went over and shut the lights.

Well, he tried.

"Damn. Fucking lights." He grumbled as he turned the flick off and on, nothing changing, the lights remaining open.

He thought he heard conversation from the hallway, so, maybe there could be someone who knew something about lights. After stepping out to the hallway to ask the first person he saw to help him out, he was taken aback when he found there to be nobody – and by that, he meant not one person.

Going back to his seat, he found himself bored, as usual.

Everyone was taking so long.

And his eyes were starting to hurt. The light was too bright. "Ugh, it sucks. So bored."

Back to staring at the game, he found Gerard lost, as usual.

From staring at the device, he suddenly saw something that surprised him.

There was nobody else in the classroom.

But then, he figured. Oh yeah. It's lunchtime.

He should probably go to sleep once he got home after school. Because, wow, as he yawned, he figured he needed to catch up on some sleep. Lots of it. And he would right after school was done and over with and he got home.

Turning back, he found Gerard holding the device, the screen turned black due to having its batteries done. "Aw man, you used all of the battery!"

Rubbing at his eyes, he found them burning. He should've gone to bed earlier, should've slept longer, should've looked at electronics less.

Wait...He'd never left this class though...What day was it anyway?

There was suddenly an earthquake, the whole classroom moving. "Fuck! What's going on?!" He yelled, but when he looked around, he found there to be nobody – not even Gerard was around, the device lying on the ground.
