Chapter 6

"F---y. -o- nee- to -o i-. You will k-ow wh-- the t-me is ri---. Go now."

"Awaken."

...

Fizzy slowly opened her eyes up to see that Haley was poking her arm. She yawned as she sat up right. They were sitting underneath a tree in the back of the school. It was another day of just doing nothing. Ever since the day the Raiders from Behind came and past, the academy has been shut down. The players attending were told to not go out much.

It has been exactly a month since this all happened. Every few days another incident with hackers would occur. Whether it be the Raiders from Behind or another group, they would cause major issues. Players are slowly loosing sanity which would lead up to a really big problem. That us what the hackers are aiming for.

Fizzy stared at the clouds in the sky. Teresa and Badge were comforting Evie while she was crying. She just lost a friend to the hackers. Kailey was sitting leaned up against the tree with a thoughtful face on and Haley was silently poking at Fizzy's sweater. A moment of silence passed by them. Then Evie spoke up.

"W-will we get turned?" she asked with a slight sniffle.

"No. We will not. At all cost. Please don't think like that Evie..." Badge said softly.

"When is Cookieh returning?" Haley asked to no one in particular.

"She said she'll be here as soon as she finished with her new 'look'. Could be here any moment." Teresa said with a smile.

"Hey guys!" Cookieh said getting their attention.

"Wow." Kailey said.

"Hm? Like the new look?"

"Definitely."

Cookieh had her hair tied in pig tails with flowers as the bands. The tips of her hair was now a peachy pink color. Her right eye still had a flower in it. To both sides of her head were little heart accessories. She wore a purple shirt that had two red lines across it with shorts and leggings with brown boots.

"Kookie confirmed!" Evie said finally looking up.

"I ship it." Teresa said smiling.

"Kailey! What about us?! What about Kizzy? Was it all just a lie?" Fizzy asked dramaticly.

"I love you both!" Kailey said.

"Ohhh~ Kailey's in a love triangle!" Haley said.

"I ship them both." Teresa said once again.

"Hahaha." Badge laughed.

"Hey... I just realised this, but where is Chippeh? I haven't seen her today." Teresa said.

"Now that you mentioned it... I haven't seen her for the past few days." Kailey said.

"She might just be in her dorm room. Wanna go check?" Cookieh asked.

"Yeah!" Evie and Haley cheered.

"Shoot..." Teresa picked up from behind them.

She looked back to see no one there. She shrugged and went to join the others on the way to Chippeh's dorm room. What they didn't know was that Chippeh was watching them in the shadows. Chippeh quickly used the shadows to get to her room before the others. She got in right as Cookieh knocked in the door.

"Chippeh? You in there?"

"Yes! Hold on a minute!" Chippeh said hiding her hacker items.

Once she finished cleaning and hiding her hacker items, she opened the door and invited the group in. They sat down around the living room. Another period if silence past.
