"Good morning, star child." Said PPS. It was 6:15 but I felt awake enough. Time to start the day. "What are the plans for today?" Purple Malachi asked. Gray replied, "Dark Sugilite should be coming today, probably having to do with the reversing timeline, but what if it does go all the way back to 7th grade? Will there be a dark Gent to hate Ervans?" "It's gonna be fine," Purple explained. "If it makes you feel better, I.... I got nothing to actually make you feel better." "Hey guys should we wear the band shirt today?" Red Malachi happened to be there. "Yeah sure" Purple mumbled.

Eventually we were at school, where most of our day takes place. The way it works is that if you get there before 8:15 then you can attend morning care, but where we go the gym and either play sports or just stand/sit. I personally hate sports so I always stand. There was Jahrell and Jaida who were considered friends. "I'm just kinda here. I don't really have any good friends..." Blue-Gray was always a little doubtful to whether people cared about us or not. Red tries his best to cheer her up though. "What do you mean? We've got Ervans and Nadia and Abdiel." "Abdiel and Nadia are long distance friends." Blue-Gray replied. "What about Ervans? He lifts you up when you're down and makes you laugh. He's better at cheering you up than I am." "Ervans is my best friend... But does he think of me as one of his best friends?" Red paused before answering and then said, "Why should that matter?"

When it hits 8:30 we move to the cafeteria and sit at a table. Later we're given the option to get breakfast. Recently they've been consistently having these donut-like things that everyone likes for some reason. I don't even see why they still give out other items, everyone only eats the donuts now. Jahrell and Jaida, along with Racheal who didn't seem to be there, sit at table 4. When we get back that's when other characters like Nyla show up. Nyla seemed upset with me recently, but after the Rayquaza episode, I, or more specifically, Gray Malachi, doesn't get very bothered by it anymore. She seemed to kinda ignore our existence, which was even better, because we couldn't get mad at her like that and Dark Sugilite wouldn't be able to show up. When near 9:00 the 8th graders like me get to go outside until school officially starts. We had to go to Ms.Cleare and Ms.Williams today, our schedule was changed by testing. "Honestly it'd be the best if Ms.Cleare wasn't here today" Purple Malachi said. Unfortunately Ms.Cleare showed up right as he finished his statement. We found other friends of ours, Paola, Meggan, and Elijah, so Red came out. "Hi Paola" we said. Paola wearily said hi back. Red automatically knew she was in a bad mood so he offered a hug, which he would've offered anyway. "I'm not in the mood, Malachi" she replied. "You guys seem upset, what's wrong?" Red inquired. "We have Ms. Cleare for 4 hours" she answered. It really was a good reason to be in a glum mood. Then Ervans came. He's the reason behind this, so I showed him the preview of the story. "I finished the intro, Ervans." "Cool bro," he said as he read it. "Nice. Good stuff." He gave me the phone back. Blue-Gray was surprised. "He actually liked it..." "Did you not expect him too? Come on, it's Ervans" Purple stated.

I should explain a bit. My name is Malachi, and since I was young I've had these characters in my head that have (for the most part,) always helped me out throughout my life. They're like the family inside of me. Later on I myself became split into "colors," bits of me that all combine together to create my personality and emotions. I started Narrative because these people have a story and I don't have much of a format to tell this story with other than here on Wattpad. With that out of the way, let's get back to the story.

Soon after, school started and we were in 4th period. Ms. Cleare gave us a simple assignment to start off the day. Under her voice, Purple Blue muttered "Today's gonna be terrible." "What makes you say that?" Red asked. Purple Blue replied "We're in Ms. Cleare's class. Everyone's gonna run their mouths and then Ms. Cleare's gonna make us all do work. Red disagreed. "That only happened once, we should be fine." Later it turned out that Purple Blue was right, which is the norm actually. Ms. Cleare couldn't understand why we couldn't be quiet and went on a rant about it. "You know, I've told y'all about 5 times already to be quiet but y'all just keep talking and talking and talking, so this is what we're gonna do. You're just gonna be working back to back to back." Ms. Cleare may seem like a bad person, but we believe that there's a nice and fun side of everybody. What she often shows is her "Purple Blue" side. Just because it exists however doesn't mean it's worth finding.

"Why are you doing this?" Purple Blue asked. "Doing what?" Said Red. "Documenting what we're doing."
"Don't you want people to know you? To know what we really are?"
"No one cares that much about us. Haven't you learned anything?"
After the short assignment we had some computer work and we were dealing with spread sheets.

Blue: Is there a control combination for cut?

Sans: Wouldn't you call that a shortcut?

Soon I was done and went on to Reading Plus. Purple Blue still didn't get it. "There's no way you'll remember everyone's exact dialogue." "I know, but it's gonna be at least close to what they're saying. This story isn't 100% accurate. I'm taking some liberties." "Nothing's even happening today. Dark Sugilite isn't forming, this has no conflict." "Dark Sugilite not being here is a good thing and besides, Pilot episodes aren't perfect y'know" When all our work was done Ms. Cleare had us sit at our desks for 40 minutes in silence.

Purple: So what do you think this means about Nyla?

Red: Well, if our method is working then we won't be mad at her and she won't be mad at us, and we may not have to worry about Dark Sugilite, but we don't know if the method is working.

Purple: Why don't we just stop Dark Sugilite from forming now?

Red: Look, as much as I want to, we can't change the dates we see. You can't stop something that hasn't happened yet.

After Ms. Cleare's class we go to lunch. Ervans is kind enough to give me his chocolate milk, which he rarely drinks anyway. It was normal. Then there was a mini food fight, which is also sorta normal. Most of the time events like this happen everyone jumps back but I just stay where I am. I don't really see any threat. We then had to move to Ms. Williams class, and then I saw Justin. "Malachi, we have to go to building 2" Seemed to make sense, but then the realization hit. "Wait, where's building 2?" He didn't know and I let out a cry of frustration. We made it in time to get to Ms.Williams before the late bell, and by before I mean it already rang but no one noticed me come in late. Ms.Williams herself wasn't there, Mr.Basquin was and said we could go on our phones. Nyla came over, and I was surprised that she showed interest in the story I was making. She also warned me not to bad mouth her in it, but if Dark Sugilite formed then this episode would've mainly been about Nyla. Fortunately though, it wasn't.

School eventually ended and we went on our way home. Similar to morning care, we have after school activities, but I don't go to those. I wait for my car to arrive and I'm normally around Andrea, Aisha and a few related characters. Then I go home. This book probably won't include my at home life, so this is just about the end of today's episode, except then I heard my name get called on the intercom, and I'm a good student so it's not often I get called down and thus don't pay attention to them, except when I realized it was my name actually being called. I wasn't listening so I had no idea what they had said and I tried to go to the main office, which wasn't even my idea, Aisha suggested that. When that was unsuccessful (because the door was locked) I found Ms. Fauntleroy, my old girlfriend's mom. I probably shouldn't see her as that but she's never been my teacher so I can't help but to. I think I was going to ask her for her key to the main office or something, because I didn't really have much of a plan anyway. It turned out that Dr.Howell was actually outside called the main office. They were calling me because my car was there and I hadn't seen her. We call mistakes like these "Fritz moments." I asked my parent why she didn't just honk when she saw me. She said she didn't want to embarrass me but I thought it was pretty embarrassing to be called outside when you already are outside to begin with. The day started with me thinking some major event was going to start but really we just made a nice narrative that everyone seemed to like. Except for Paola. But if it was hypothetically shorter and she did read it she'd probably love it.

I'm gonna make this a series.
