Facing Reality

Ciel's POV:

"What are we suppose to do now...?" Lizzy asked with a bit of a worried expression.

"This is insane, I'm not staying in this dumbass school forever..." King muttered under his breath.

"There's gotta be a way out somewhere...!" Jade said, "All we have to do is find it!"

"Great idea, genius. Our rooms are sealed up tight with iron plates and no windows. You honestly believe that there's a way out?" Austin responded with an eye roll.

"Sadly, he's right..." Kennedi said as she went through her digital handbook. "We're only given access to the first floor. The second floor has restricted access, along with all of the exits. We're stuck here."

"S-So what...? W-We're suppose to just live here forever...?!" Bloom fretted, biting down on her nail to show that she was obviously worried.

"Maybe not forever... Just until we can figure something out..." Kathrine replied.

"Or until we're all dead," Alois said, rolling his eyes. "I mean, really. Do you honestly believe that whoever's behind this is going to let us go freely if we try to escape? Whoever's pulling the strings here WANTS us to kill each other. It's apart of their sick game."

"Ahh!! We're all gonna die here....!! I just know it!!" Bloom whined, tears welling up in her eyes. "I regret ever coming to this place!!"

"Whoa whoa! Let's all calm down, okay? We're getting worked up for no reason! We don't have to kill each other!" Sofī said, trying to ease the situation.

"If we want to graduate and go free, then yes, we do." Shoko said calmly, "We're humans. We adapt. Eventually we'll get used to living in this place."

"You don't seem bothered by this at all!" Elise said with a slight frown on her face.

"Well, someone has to look on the brighter side of things." Shoko replied, holding up her digital handbook. "According to the handbook, the kitchen is replenished with all the food we need every single day. The bathhouse is open during light hours. We can use the library whenever we want. Everything we need to survive normally is provided. All we simply have to do is follow these rules, and we'll grow accustomed to staying here."

"To hell with those rules. You're forgetting the fact that the only way to get out of here is by MURDERING someone!" Elise replied, crossing her arms over her chest. "Someone's going to lose it eventually!"

"If we can all keep it together, then we should have no problems then. Right?"

"That's bullshit." King growled, "Where's that stupid bear?"

I sweatdropped, "You know that's a little girl, right? She's not really a bear."

"No shit, smartass. Are you calling me dumb?"

Knitting my eyebrows, I shook my head no. "Don't put words in my mouth. I never said that."

"You were implying it, weren't you?!"

"No, no I wasn't..."

"Dude, calm down. You're getting worked up for no reason!" Austin said, backing me up, I guess.

"I won't stand here and take insults from this puny little brat!!" King shouted, getting angrier by the second.

Puny...?

"H-Hey...! Why don't you calm down, okay? He didn't mean it like that!" Jade said, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. But he was so blinded by anger, he slapped her hand away and turned to her.

"Don't tell me what to do! I know what he meant, so why don't you stay out of it!!"

Wincing, Jade took a step back. "I... I'm sorry...!"

"You're gonna be sorry, you prissy little brat!"

My eyes snapped open, knowing exactly what was coming. All I remember was jumping in between them and a sharp blow before I completely blacked out.
