Time Loop

Annoyance/Days 3-10

Day 3 - 5

Cole had been confused as the day repeated again.

Eating the same food?

Going to the same places?

Getting back at the same time?

Why is this happening?

This all has to be an elaborate prank right?

Day 6 + 8

Cole was pretty annoyed by now.

He was honestly plotting murder.

Whoever's idea this was for this prank, was to be dead. Until he asked someone about it.

"Didn't we go yesterday and for the past week?" He asked Zane on day 7. Zane looked genuinely confused. "No?"

Cole sighed and turned to go wake everyone up.

That's when he realized it wasn't a prank and that he was just trapped.

Day 9

Day 9, Cole was so annoyed with the repeated day that as soon as he walk in the museum he walked in the ninja exhibit, walked out, said goodbye to everyone and left.

He got scolded for his disrespect but Lloyd let it slide eventually as Cole lied and said they let him see it earlier.

Day 10

He got out of bed, dressed in his clothes, saw Kai in the hall, woke everyone up, and sat down for breakfast. All without a word. All with a straight face. The others walked in with smiles and their gi's on. Cole sat there with a straight face. "Hey Cole! You ready for the museum?" Jay said with a bright smile. Cole didn't respond. "Cole?" Jay said, dropping the smile.

"We went yesterday." Cole whispered. Everyone was now looking at Cole. "What?" Kai says laughing a bit. A tear fell down Cole's face and he immediately wiped it away. "Nothing. I think I'll stay behind. I'll go next week." Cole said, looking down at the food that Zane placed in front of him. Pancakes. Again. Of course.

Cole laughed to himself as another tear went down his face. 10 days in and I'm already going crazy. (IM LITERALLY CRYING NOW ✋😭 bc of writing this and I'm only like 160 words in).

The other ninja ate their food and got ready to leave. Cole say there as they left, not eating even a bite of food. "I'm seriously tired of pancakes..." he said with a sigh.

"Want something else then?" Said a voice. Cole looked up to see Wu. "Yes please..." Cole responded with a small smile. "Come on." Wu waved him into the kitchen.

They began making something for them both to eat. Wu was teaching him by giving him instructions. "So, Cole, I have a feeling you're upset." Wu said, drinking his tea as he helped Cole. Cole sighed and chuckled. "You know me well, Sensei."

"So. What's the matter?" Wu said. Cole sighed, "This day has repeated 10 times now." Wu nodded. "Sounds like a time-loop. Do you know what caused it?" Wu asked. Cole shook his head. "Maybe you should try finding a solution. I don't know how I can help with this. My apologies." Then they made and ate their food.

Cole watches everyone eat. "I'm sorry, Zane, but I'm going to have something else to eat. It's amazing I'm just... not feeling it right now." Cole says. He stands up and walks out the monastery. Everyone watches him. "Is he okay?" Kai asks.

-

Cole returned an hour later, tear stains on his face, and goes to his room. The ninja watch him walk in, they greet him, but he doesn't greet them back. They watch as he walks to his room.

He doesn't come back out for dinner.

The first part I was a bit lazy. I honestly just wanted to get it done- maybe eventually I'll update it.
