Part 6

Extreme triggering if you would like to skip go to next chapter and I will recap for you.

Calum P.O.V

"There will be a slight change in schedule today for our group session. Please all members ages 12-17 with suicidal tendencies meet in room D106. Again adolescents with suicidal tendencies meet in room D106. Thank you."

The announcement made everyone think. What's up with the schedule and why are we going to the other side of the building?  Whatever, we might as well go. Suddenly I see Dani and Skylar walking out of their shared room groaning in anticipation. I jog up to them and smirk at Dani, but her eyes land on Mikey. A pang of jealousy runs through my veins unexpectedly. Wait. Jealousy. Me? Nahh.

Mikey notices her stare and she quickly looks the other way. He walks up to her slowly and wraps his rather pale arm around her small framed body. She shrugs it off but blushes a deep red. A sigh of relief is present on my face.

"Hey guys. Anybody else weirded out by that announcement.  Isn't Room D106 is on like the suicidal watch of the building?"

"I wouldn't know I just got here, don't look at me." She puts her hands up as if saying she surrenders. I grin and chuckle lightly at her comment. " I'm just following y'all remember." She says.

We continue walking down the long hallway and soon we find the room. The door should've told us everything. Well for one, the door is steel instead of wood like the regular dorm room doors. We slowly walk inside and-

"Please take a seat at one of the tables and DO NOT touch the clear bins on the tables." One of the counselors said. Then she plastered on a smile on her face to make it look like we wouldn't figure it out. A throbbing sensation went through my wrists and my ankles. That could only mean one thing-

"As you all can probably see, since the bin are obviously clear, there are prohibited items that you are clearly not supposed to have in this facility. The bins on each table contain all kinds of knives, rope, lighters, push pins, etc. Us counselors will open these bins and set a timer up on the wall. You all have 2 hours to resist the temptation to use any of the said items on yourselves or others. We'll leave for that set time and come back and if we do not like what we see, your whole table will have to stay an extra hour in this room. Make yourselves at home. Good luck. Consider this a- a sort of game."

If this is a game- let the games begin.
