—A POV—

I don't know what it was about today that made me feel all happy, like today would be different than any other day. Going through the same routine over and over...it's still happening now, but I feel a change will soon happen. I hope so and believe so.
In the weird colorful classroom of many different colors, a chalkboard is pasted in front of me, two colors of chalk to the side. One blue, one yellow. This chalkboard has become one of my closest friends, I write and erase, write, erase, write, erase...that's just how every day is.
I pat the chalkboard and give a small sheepish smile. It seemed so brand new, the erased marks were barely even shown. I know it wasn't actually new, I just erased it well.
It stayed as my friend forever until I can escape and leave.
Which is the reason why I feel like today will be different than the rest.

Yawning awake, behind me in a desk was a female made of green. She stood up and walked to my side, where her chalkboard friend stayed.
"Mornin' to you Pencil! Isn't today just a great day!" She exclaimed.

That's right, my name is Pencil, that points out, I am an actual pencil. Uh duh. The whole universe is made of objects after all. Next to me is Leafy, the joyful one.
Before we were both trapped in the colorful room we didn't exactly get along. Now through the months and possibly years, we have gotten along very well. It's a little strange how being trapped in a classroom together would do that.

Of course, that doesn't mean she's better than my BFF.

Leafy picked up the blue chalk and stared at me with a smile "Ready foOor another fantastic day of writing Four?"

"I guess I am"
I grabbed the yellow chalk in front of me to mix things up for a change. Another normal day this will be...but I still hope, I know something grand will happen!
I now faced the chalkboard, the only thing that held my life, changed it..and began to write four over and over.
Two others eventually joined Leafy and me like usual, Bracelety(who tries her best not to write ice cube over and over) and Liy.

Now curiosity may be brought up, why do we do this? Why don't we just stop and leave? Thing is, we can't. We have a schedule. Wake up before 7, continue to write only four, then sleep at 10. It's a fine schedule really, no one is gonna complain about it.
If we did, we'd probably be shocked...which is why we follow that schedule.
It's truly torture and I've learned my lesson from how I was eliminated in the first episode of BFB...but us 4 always try to see the light in things.

As I write I wonder...why do I even feel like today will be different? Make me feel happy? What's going to happen?

—Pen's POV—

I sat down on the ground, contemplating everything. The season has been over with a rightful winner, everyone seems happy yet some seem depressed from the loss of there friends. I have to admit, even the people I dislike make me feel a little guilty when I see there sadness.
I look over to my buddy Eraser, who sits down next to me and stares up at the clouds with a smirk on his face. "So, you back to questioning the world and where everyone is?"

"How'd you know?" I said back and he looked at me.

"That's what you've been doing almost everyday if you haven't noticed"

"Oh..."
I stare down at the ground, guess everything has really gotten to me...

"Hey dude. Look, you should stop worrying about all this stuff. Sure some of our friends are dead and some have went missing, but eventually they'll be revived with the new recovery center being built! And I'm sure we'll find the missing people eventually" Eraser patted me on the back while saying this and I smiled.
He's right, a new recovery center is being built thanks to everyone deciding to chip in to make it. That also counts me and Eraser of course. We help, but right now is our break. We all get certain breaks and then get back to working.
The recovery center was actually almost finished, which I should be overjoyed about..but...
That thing won't bring the eliminated back...
