Escape - Wilbur angst

Chapter 14 - Let's try again

HAHAHA OKAY SO YK HOW I WAS SLANDERING THAT ONE TEACHER THAT NEVER SHOWED UP? RIGHT, I THINK HE HATES OUR CLASS PERSONALLY. WE'RE TWO DAYS INTO THE SEMESTER, HE WAS HERE YESTERDAY (we didn't have a class) AND TODAY HE WASN'T WHEN WE HAD OUR CLASS

Everything in this is nsx.

TWs

None I think

Wilbur had refused to take a mental health day off. He wanted to try, he wanted to be able to go to school normally. Phil had asked him probably about a 100 times now if he was sure, even on the ride to school he didn't stop.

First class was geography. The class stood outside in the corridor, waiting for the teacher and occupying themselves by chatting. "So, our teacher here. What are they like?" Wilbur asked.

"Huh? Oh, right. Her name is miss. Ottenton and she's really sweet. Short and kind, but you respect her a lot. Everyone likes her." Techno replied, checking the time. 

As if summoned a woman with a mug walked towards them. She laughed a little. "Well, I don't have to lock my door anymore, now do I? You're my door guardian." she teased. Techno just laughed in response. He had a good relationship with most teachers, they were very chill considering spending their days with a bunch of 14-year-olds.

Everyone entered and got seated. "Right, this week we're going to start with the different stations. We went through and picked them last week, did anyone forget their number?" the teacher asked. A few students raised their hand, two girls and one guy.

"Good, a lot fewer than I thought. Evan, you're in group 1, Elisa in 5 and Eryn in 3. William, you can join Techno in group 6." she informed. Some looked towards Wilbur other just nodded. 

Everyone then stood up and moved to tables, Techno stayed seated and so did Wilbur. "William?" miss. Ottenton spoke up. "Have you gotten your computer yet?" Wilbur shook his head.

The teacher nodded before typing something on her computer. "Well then, Mr. Krister knows you're coming. You can go now." Wilbur stood up, quickly exiting the classroom. Now where the hell was he supposed to go?

He strode down the corridor, trying to find any sign showing the way.

He quickly realised he was completely lost, with no knowledge of where he was or where to go.

"You lost?" a deep voice asked. Wilbur jumped in fear and quickly whipped around. In front of him stood a tall guy, with brown hair and lambchops as well as a moustache. He looked handsome and charming, but at the same time something about him made Wilbur cautious. 

"Uh, I- k-kinda. I'm looking for Mr. Krister or something." the guy nodded in response and turned around, a silent que for Wilbur to follow him. 

"My name's Schlatt by the way." he spoke up. Wilbur looked up at him. "Wilbur."

They walked through the corridors, Wilbur feeling slightly dumb over the fact that he had to ask for help. The two walked next to each other, not a single word being spoken. Schlatt placed his hand on the others shoulder to inform him that they had arrived.

To his surprise Wilbur jolted to the side, wrapping his arms around himself protectively. Schlatt raised an eyebrow at this. "I was just going to say we're here man, chill." Wilbur looked behind him, a red door in front of him with a metal plate saying:

ICT teacher - Mr. Krister

Schlatt walked away, leaving Wilbur alone to knock on the door. He took a deep breath before raising his hand, knocking three times.

A few seconds passed before a man with very dull black hair and beard, some white finding its way up here and there.

He smiled a bit. "Hi! You must be Wilbur, come on in." Wilbur looked at him suspiciously, he had never entered someone else's room without Techno.

The adult's face lit up in recall. "Right, sorry. The teachers' lounge is right beside us and I'll keep the door open. I enter first and then you." Wilbur smiled in appreciation. This could actually turn out to be a nice school.

A bit shorter, around 700 words.
