Fix it & Survive (Backrooms)

Part 6 - Good to see you again.

Sorry guys it took me SOO long to update this. My laptop got some sort of virus and it wouldn't work for a few days(Technically a week or more.) Apologies to everyone I kept waiting! Here is the new part!

---------------------------------------------------

-J wake up, its time for school.- R yawned, trying to sound enthusiastic. I rubbed my eyes, but not wanting to get out of bed, I pull the covers over me, ignoring them. R is looked tired, but shrugged it off.-J, WAKE UPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!- R shouted at me and I literally bounced out of bed. As expected, I woke up groggy barely able to get a good nights rest. -Couldn't you be a bit more quieter?- I yawned, still rubbing my eyes do to how bright it was. 

-Nope, we got school, and you already missed so much from you last "expedition." They rolled their eyes, and saying, - I'll wait for you outside the door.- as they closed the door.

I sighed, as they closed the door, I quickly find something to wear. I looked inside my storage place, stuffed with a bunch of hoodies, and sweatpants. I just picked at random, considering that they all basically look the same, so it wouldn't really matter. After changing, I quickly rush outside, where R was waiting for me, along with my caretaker. - Come on little ones, lets head to class.- The caretaker spoke, in a soft voice. 

- Yaddy yada we know.- R snickered, rolling their eyes. - 168, hold my hand, I don't want you no-clipping randomly.- caretaker sternly glared at me, offering me their hand. Of course, I held onto it, as we exited our corridors, and entered the classroom.

- Now you two, don't cause any mischief, especially you 264. I don't want to hear another report on paint "accidentally" being ingested.- The caretaker warned R. - Don't worry, I'll make sure they won't.- I spoke, still too tired to really comprehend. - Ok, you two behave yourselves.- And they soon left, probably going to take care of whatever the adults take care of.

R and I both sat in our seats, going throughout the school day as usual. We only had school for 4 hours, but during that time, we learned a lot. - So kids, if a wanderer starts to behave hostile to us or any other wanders, what should we do?- The instructor asked, with gleefulness in their voice. Not as gleeful as that partygoer I met before, but as cheerful a partypooper gets. 

673 rose their hand. - We should threaten to kill them if they don't stop?- they guessed.

- No, not exactly, but, your on the right track... Anyone else?- The teacher looked around, trying to see if anyone else would volunteer. - Yes, 583?-

- We should throw them to the partygoers.- she confidently responded, with a serious dead look in her eyes.

- Correct!- The teacher cheerfully answered. - Next, we'll be moving on to safety procedures, if anything goes wrong here, from a fire, to entities attacking, etc...... - 

The teacher kept going on and on, but I just wanted to talk to R. Thankfully, we were forced to study morse code, so I decided to talk to them by tapping on the desk. I haven't studied morse code in a while, so I'll just ask them if they want to talk.

*tap tap tee tap teep.*

They looked at me with a face of shock, so I knew I did something wrong.

- Dude, you are not seriously going to.... do that right?- they whispered. They looked dead serious, and it was sort of funny, so I decided to play along.

-... Of course, I will, in fact I'll do it tonight.- I deadpanned at them, and they started freaking out.

 - No you can't, are you crazy??- They started to tear up. - I'm going to tell the teacher.-

- It won't stop me..- I spoke in an as deep as possible voice, but it ended up being squeaky. I definitely need to practice that.

- Why would you want stab your hand? Did I do something wrong? Who hurt you?- They started bombarding me with questions, which then I realized, I should have just told them the truth. 

- Uh... I didfafwnaerpfina- I just started stuttering cause I had no idea what to say. They rose their hand, with pure concern in their eyes. - No! I didn't mean that!- I blurted, but it was already too late.

- Yes, 264?- the teacher called them. If they say that, they are going to think I'm crazy. I mean, I've already been called out for talking to invisible things, I don't need them to put me out or something.

- May I.... drink some water?- they asked, pointing to their filled water bottle.

- You don't need to ask me for that.- the teacher stated, with a confused look on their face.

-R, why... what.... fjsdkfoasfn- I started interrogating them. - J chill, I didn't even believe you in the first place.- They shrugged, while drinking their water.

- Really?- I paused, genuinely confused.

- Ya, I was just messing with ya. Do you think I forgot how bad you are at morse code? You should've seen the look on your face!- They smirked.

- Of course, R always keeps a list on what I suck at.- I sarcastically spoke, as the teacher shushed us. We mutually decided to stop talking, and actually pay attention to the lesson.

 Everything seemed to be going okay, as I was doodling on my paper, while taking nots. We were about to wrap things up, until the alarms started sounding in the classroom. - Wonder what color they are now.- The teacher sighed seeming tired of this alarm system. Usually, this would happen every so often, where the lights would go green and everyone had to be dismissed, because all adults were needed for something. The alarm lights changed depending on the situation but rarely ever meant real harm, considering that our kind has worked hard to make this place safe. That's why when the alarm lights turned on, we all stared in silence and disbelief at the color that was displayed; black.

(Black meant that some hostile entity or reality warping thing has entered our zone, which was basically one of the worst kinds of alarms to ever ring.)
