Arc 5: Part 2: Best Time - Alone Time

(Hi again, lack of update I know...)

I didn't know what to think. No one had caught my eye as of the recent days. I felt my thoughts come to an end as I decided that I didn't want to hang with anyone. Alone time is best time...mostly. But I felt myself pang as I stood motionlessly still in the yellow hall. Wouldn't hurt to relax, would it? Well, I guess so. As long as anyone wasn't expecting me to do this, I should be fine. I quietly stroll the hall, walking by everything in the newly discovered fourth floor that was still bustling with all the other students checking everything out, from the old news to the new.

I went downstairs after a while. I've seen everything up there with everyone else at their full potential. I passed by some people as they went up and I went down. We only passed by our greetings before continuing our own ways. Now on the third floor, I looked around and started checking everything if I can occupy myself with something for awhile. And I did. I went to the game room and messed around throwing darts and getting decent hits despite my height. The room was empty so it was basically just me replaying the same few games I could play on loop.

After that got boring, I went to the art room. Spongy has since been gone and everything was back in their places, including the monitor that had it's wires ripped out. I stopped and stared at the room. Like the game room, it was empty. But I can see why. Shortly, I quickly paced out of there and decided to go to the second floor. I heard commotion in the classrooms, people hanging out I suppose. On the second floor, I started heading to the library to continue that one book I never finished. Unlike the other places I've been to, the library only had a few occupants. That being Barf Bag, Fanny, Roboty, Black Hole, and Stapy. I silently question how Black Hole is not taking everything in and how he would be able to read along with Roboty, but that's none of my business. Was probably nullified for all I know. I went over to the tables to see if it was still there, and it was. It still had the bookmark too. Who knows, Four probably made X guarded it because he favors me so much.

I take it off the table and go to my own corner to continue where I had once left off, page 153 of 329. I take the bookmark out and place against the side of the chair I was now resting in. Thus, starting the continuation of my treatise. It explained the many different types of marketing that you can encounter. How to fit in with the economy. What to do and what not to do, the benefits, downsides, and outlooks. I did know most of this stuff already, but it's fun to learn again. At least for me it is. While reading I heard a few small talks going on, but I didn't eavesdrop, I'm not like that honestly. So all I did was just kept reading on as I blocked out all the noises and felt the world go blank. The only thing in my line of focus was the written papyrus. I was so focused on reading then I didn't see anyone else leave or come in. In fact, when I snapped out of it, the only other people in the room were completely new faces. But that's what happens when time flies and you don't know it directly.

With my book, I had finally finished it. It left me speechless, per say. That's all I could muster about it without making a big deal. I left my corner and put it away as I leave the library to go do something else. I passed by the familiar faces I had known since the day I've been sealed in this constant labyrinth that we all called Goiky Academy. A place that was seen with light intentions of helping people achieves their goals and dreams, only for the truth to be that it was all but nothing but a fraud of the shell it was once...at least, in my perspective. Do you think I'd know what everyone else thought? Even after all the material-shed they've seen? It drives me into a quiet state of hysteria. A huge gap of the last time we've seen genuine daylight from the world outside the secluded walls of the large school building. Whatever Four wanted was something he got, seeing all of us in state of weakness and dread as he knows it's basically just a video playing on loop with a different event every time, but ending with the same results.

Ugh, me and my thoughts. I need to clear my head again.

I hanged out at the pool for a while, no one was really interesting in going near the place since there was the big weaponry pointing at the doors in order to make sure you swiped your identity card to go inside. Of course that was strange in itself since, but hey. I could understand why, I mean; Firey, Roboty, etcetera. All I really did then was walk around and stared at the water that reeks of chlorine. My watery reflection just staring back. About some time later I leave the area and go down to the first floor, heading towards the dormitories. With the intentions to go to my own and take some rest. Of course that meant I passed the most popular place in the floor, the cafeteria. TV was apparently hosting a movie marathon for all the students to watch. Not a lot of people were really there however. Which was, okay in a sense. Probably busy. I pay no more mind to it and continued on to my dorm, unlocking the door and heading in.

After I locked it, I rub my hands on my eyes as I sauntered over to my bed and laid on it. Instantly feeling the mattress give into the newfound yet familiar weight. I flopped on my other side to face the ceiling colored a dull and dark shade of pink. I slowly sat up despite the fact that I just laid down to look around my room, everything looking in tact as per usual. Just a reminder that I was not living in some sort of infinite dream loop that just keeps going and going. I lay back down and let my thoughts race as I shut my eyes and went to sleep.

...

A few hours later, I woke up. Nothing out of the ordinary. I get off my bed and fetch my ValuePad to check what the time was at this point. The machinery had said that it was 5 PM meaning I had been asleep for two hours. In the meanwhile I silently questioned about a certain time-teller's place because...well, don't we have these devices? Whoever accepted these students clearly didn't have a working watch at the time. Ahem. I filled out a new schedule for the next day so I wouldn't be as bored as I was right now. So after that I basically just left my room and decided to hell with it and went to the cafeteria to tune in with TV's party. It was still going and more people seemed to be present now so I wouldn't look too out of place with joining the crowd. I sat down next at a table that wasn't too filled up and looked to the screen displaying the animated characters moving around doing whatever the plot has up their sleeves.

But despite all of this, I still prefer alone time. It is the best time.
