My eyes shoot open again. My face is pressed up against the desk again, its smooth surface making a very uncomfortable pillow. I died again... the voices around me start to blur together into one voice. I think Mrs. Hickory has called on me again. I say the same thing as before, following the little script I was on.
Was I in groundhog day...?
The feeling in my body was going cold a bit. What exactly am I feeling? It was a hot feeling in my chest, it made me want to slam my fist into something and make sure it was broken after. Oh my god, am I angry?
Somebody like you being angry? That's pathetic.
Why was I angry? Obviously getting killed by some monster in a bathroom stall wasn't something that made me happy but it didn't exactly make me... well angry, I guess?
Robin?
Why did she have to die, too? I slam my fist on the table, letting off the anger in my chest out a little bit. That thing had killed Robin, right? I quickly raise my hand in the air to get my teachers attention. "Mrs. Hickory, c-can I use the restroom?" I say. I feel a sudden wave of awkwardness as I am stared at by my classmates. She nods her head and gestures to let me leave the room, probably not happy that I disrupted class by slamming my fist on the table. Embarrassment aside, I had to come up with a plan. Autumn still was planning to kill me for whatever reason... I should write all of this down somewhere, maybe? Just... ok I'll keep mental notes of it all. Something happened when I told Robin, right? She took me into the bathroom and was killed by that thing... so maybe I can't tell her? Is that like a rule or something? I start fiddling with my hair, this is all so confusing. I am pretty sure I need Robin's help... so, what should I do?
You should protect Robin from what killed her, right?
A sudden rush filled my body. That was it... wasn't it? That was something I bet I could do. I mean... if anything I'll just come back if I die, right? I can just keep trying! My hand drops from my hair, this is it, this is my chance to actually change things. My chest starts to feel tight as I begin to take steps forward back to the classroom. If I can kill whatever killed Robin last time, maybe she can help me change Autumn's mind about killing me!
You should also talk to Autumn, shouldn't you?
Maybe I should try that too..? I mean, I've got plenty of chances to try I think.
What if you die this time...
That's probably not something I should try experimenting with, so this time: I won't die.
