Stan's P.O.V

Monday. That was the day we found that stupid notebook and read it's stupid instructions and got involved in its stupid,STUPID game of death. It's already Thursday and we only have til Sunday to summon that boardgame or else,we die. For 2 days,we've avoided going to the clubroom,speaking with each other and opening the notebook.

It's still 2pm... History Class....How boringgg, there's nothing interesting in this class. 2 more hours til school ends. I wonder if the others will finally have courage to gather up and do the summoning? Maybe,I should give them courage...I mean I was the one who thought of getting that notebook plus I'm the club president....

I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to the seat behind me.

"Hey Stan...are we still going to keep avoiding the others?" Nico asked worriedly.

"We didn't avoid them. They avoided us." I said,annoyed.

"We have to do something! If we don't get that game,we'll die!" Summer said. She sat just in front of me in class.

"I know,but the instructions said ALL of us need to participate." I said. "What're we going to do without the others?"

"Let them die." Shamira said from beside Nico. Yes,all four of us are classmates in Class B,luckily. Well,let's say five. Even Robin is in our class but he's avoiding us too,plus he sits in the other side of the room.

"Oh? I thought you were avoiding us,Shammie." I told her,raising an eyebrow.

"I changed my mind,okay?! I thought about what you told Nico last Monday. If we don't get the game,we instantly die. If we get the game,we have a 50/50 chance of living." She said, flustered.

"Glad you were smart enough to think about that." I said,grinning. "Well at least 4 of us are brave enough."

"We need to get the other 4 to participate!" Nico said. "Let's do the summoning tomorrow,IF they agree."

"Yeah,IF they agree." Shammie said,rolling her eyes. She went back to reading her book while the three of us still settled the matter.

"There's four of us,there's four of them. Let's talk to them individually." Nico said. "I'll take Mica. Stan,you take Tyler and Summer,you take Robin." Nico faced Shammie and added,"Shammie,you talk to your brother,June."

"WHAT?!" Shammie said in surprise. The history teacher immediately stopped his lecture and glared at us.

"Sorry,sir!" Shammie said,bowing her head. Then she glared at us,"Fine,but don't expect me and June's conversation to end well." With that, we finished our discussion. I glanced at Robin. He was there,just reading his book and listening to the lecture. I saw him glance back,but then he shook his head and returned to what he was doing.

I rested my head on my desk then put a book in front of me as cover. Time to skip class by sleeping......

Later

After History Class,Nico woke me up. I had to survive Home Eco and one more class til school was over. Lucky for me,the bell rang before the teacher could give out another activity.

4pm....Club activities time... Time for me to talk to Tyler. I went to the upper floor to the 2nd year's classes and saw Tyler still in his seat beside the window. No one else was in the room anymore,luckily. I went up to him and awkwardly smiled. "Um,hey...."

Tyler glared at me. "What the f*ck are doing you here,you bastard?"

My left eye twitched. Damn this guy! Acting all tough then avoiding us because of what happened. Who's the bastard between us?! Your more of a coward than I am! Geez! I wanted to punch him,but what good will that do? I'm here to convince him to participate,not have a fight.

I faked a smile and told him,"Listen Tyler,I know you don't want to participate in that summoning thing but think about it this way. If we don't play,we die instantly. If we do play we have a tiny bit of chance to live."

Tyler raised an eyebrow. "So? Can you guarantee that we can survive the game? What if the challenges were humanly impossible? What if when you die in the game it'll be more of like a 'torture then die' thing? Wouldn't dying right now be best?"

I stood frozen where I was. He's right. What if we can't ace those challenges? What if dying as a player means dying in the most horrible way ever possible? But....what if it isn't?

"W-what if....what if it isn't? What if what your thinking is different?" I said nervously. "What if the game is real easy? What if the 6 people who died years ago just didn't cooperate and that's why they died? We won't know til we try,Tyler...so please...play with us."

"Look here,brat. I'm not risking my life in that game. This world is already boring enough." Tyler said. "Dying is alright with me. I don't want to play some stupid game risking my stupid worthless life."

He stood up,ready to leave but I gripped his arm,preventing him from going. "Let me go if you don't want to get hurt." He said coldly.

"D-don't you...DON'T YOU HAVE SOMETHING WORTH LIVING FOR IN LIFE?!" I yelled at him. He cringed in surprise. His usual cold expression turned into a somewhat sad one.

"I...I don't....okay?" Tyler said. I could feel a bit of sorrow in his voice. I kinda feel sorry for this guy. I just recalled something...I'd completely forgotten about it...Tyler was nicknamed "the tiger" in school. Because of his coldness and harsh attitude,no one approached him. Everyone was scared of him. But that was before.... Before he joined the club....

When he joined the club,at first we were scared. But we saw a soft side in him... And saw his interest for supernatural stuff... We accepted him and became great friends with him. He isn't so bad after all,that's what we thought back then. After he joined,his class started talking to him,he was treated normally again and then he met June and Mica.

"Have you forgotten?" I told him. "Don't you have us now? We,your friends in the club... Despite you acting cold and stuff we accepted you didn't we? We all had fun with you,right?"

As soon as I'd said that,a few tears had dropped from his eyes. He slightly embraced me and I jolted in surprise. "W-wha"

"I guess your right...I'm sorry....Let's go...I'll play the game with you guys..." Tyler said as he let me go. "But don't ever tell anyone I cried,got it,brat?

Ah,looks like good-old emotional Tyler is gone. "Fine,fine." I said,laughing a bit. "You looked so lame...and Tyler? Don't you ever say you have no worth in this world. We're here for you as your friends..."

"Whatever,I knew that." Tyler said,smiling.

The two of us exited the classroom and went to the clubroom. I wonder if Summer,Nico and Shamira succeeded in their pursuasion?
