Yoyle Island

Chapter 2: What are you?

I was lost in my mind, all I could think about is how there are people I don't know in front of me and I'm gonna have to sit in a plane for who knows how long. It seemed as if everyone was giving me stares. I felt the anxiety rise up again, "oh no please not now" I thought. I looked around frantically, people were giggling, I just couldn't help but thing they were giggling at me. "keep it together Bubble" I told myself "you're fine, you're fine, you're fine just chill-" No matter how many time I told myself that it never worked, their stares continued to pierce through my soul and their laughter making me cry inside.

The plane door began to open "finally" I thought "I can get away from them, i'll just sit in the very back and they won't pay any attention to me" A small white flight of stairs began to extend from the plane as someone stepped out. They were very short, looking like they had two large round ears of sorts, they were yellow and their arms and legs were huge unlike the objects i've seen. I got closer and their shape seemed stranger and stranger. The closer I got the more I thought "is this even an object" It looked like the letter X "what even-" I didn't know letters could be objects but I guess I was wrong.

The X took a huge megaphone then placed it carefully over their mouth and began to speak. "good morning everyone!" X exclaimed "you're all here because you were hand picked by our critics as the top students in the region! So now we're ready to depart to Yoyle City!" Everyone the rushed into the plane, obviously trying to get their desired seats. I panicked a little bit "dammit what if someone takes the back seats" I thought, "I can't handle being in the middle of all the noise and chaos" I sighed and just walked up to the shiny white stairs. I tried to walk up the stairs with my huge bags of stuff and it was too heavy. "um excuse me" I tried getting X's attention "is there anywhere I can put my stuff?" "oh i'll just take that ma'am!" he took my stuff from me and put it in this compartment towards the back of the plane which I assume is where all the luggage went "you can just go on inside!" "wow thanks so much!" I said with a smile then I went on inside.

The interior of the plane was absolutely huge, it seemed like there were infinite rows and isles of seats. I turned around and got a glimpse of the cockpit, there was a blue number four with the same large arms as the X. "wow, a number too? This place is weird" Of course as I suspected the plane was plunged in the pure chaos of the other students. There was screaming, singing, running, jumping and even people climbing over chairs. "man I feel bad for the pilot" I thought to myself. I looked to the far back sadly the whole isle was taken. I groaned "great, this'll be an amazing trip won't it" I mumbled. Out of no where I heard a voice behind me saying "yeah it really will be amazing trip!" "gah!" I turned around started but I saw nothing. "I- wh-what?" I let out quite puzzled "where'd...you go?" "I'm down here!" they said again, I looked down and saw a small rift of grass just standing there looking up at me. "oh, um hi? Who are you?" "I'm Grassy!" he said back to me "who are you!" "oh uh I'm Bubble" I replied rather quietly. Grassy jumped up happily "wow it's super duper nice to meet you Boobie!" he then ran back to his friend towards a seat in the back "wait that's not my- eh forget it I need to find somewhere to sit" I skimmed the rows trying to find an empty seat with no one else nearby.

I found a lovely row that had no one in the row behind it or next to it, I saw the shininess of the lovely next velvet seats, like it was brand new, never used "perfect" I sat down and stared at the roof in peace as the pilot made their announcement for takeoff. For the first time on this trip I was at peace, nothing was there to bother me and it felt great. The plane started to move, I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of the engines outside. Of course it was loud and obnoxious inside the plane but in a way it was kind of comforting, at least I was on my own. "on my own" I thought "on my own, I'm all on my own...it's kind of lonely..." The feeling of calmness and serenity began to change to fear, a fear that i would be alone the whole trip, "what if no one likes me, what if the all hate me, I can't deal with being alone for this long!" Before I knew it the plane was off the ground, it was now in the sky, flying above everything. "well once again it seems this'll be a very VERY long trip"
