His Little Theorist

Confrontation

I run to the bus, I had overslept. All morning I've been hearing my demons. I walk into Mrs. Palos' classroom and sit down. My first two classes went fine, but core plus... Eh. I had Mrs. Palos, and this assignment was to find a song that related to us somehow, and preform it. I was called on, and some kids snickered. Lord knows what their thinking.

"I can hear you, but I won't.
Some look for trouble, while others don't,
There's a thousand reasons I should
go about my day,
And ignore your whispers, which I wish would go away, oh

You're not a voice, just a ringing in my ear,
And if I heard you, which I don't, I'm spoken for, I fear
Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls,
I'm sorry secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls.

I've had my adventure, I don't need something new.
I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you,
Into the unknown,
Into the unknown,
Into the unknown!

What do you want? 'Cause you've been keeping me awake.
Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake?
Or are you someone out there who's a little bit like me?
Who knows deep down I'm not where I'm meant to be?

Everyday's a little harder as I feel my power grow,
Don't you know there's a part of me that longs to go
Into the unknown?
Into the unknown,
Into the unknown!

Oh,
Are you out there?
Do you know me?
Can you feel me?
Can you show me?

Where are you going?
Don't leave me here alone.
How do I follow you,
Into the unknown?"

I get a pat on the should from Mrs. Palos and sit back down. I was the last one, and I had left people dumbfounded about how that song related to me at all. "Must be a Game Theory thing." One kid tries to reason. Everyone agrees on that and leaves it alone. I look at my wrist, pulling up the sleeve, then put it back down. "Hey Y/N! Do your best MatPat impression for us!" Some kid yells. I think for a moment. MadPat sound just like him, since he's and alter ego. "But, hey, that's just a theory, a Game Theory! Thanks for watching." I say in his pitch. Caleb is quick to call next. "Do his intro to the FNAF Game Lab he did with you!" I sigh. "Yeah, no, I'm not bringing back memories of that." I say. I hear groans. "Stop bothering her! Do something quietly!" I hear Mrs. Palos yelled. "Are you alright? You never yell." I ask. She nods. "It's just a bit annoying, ya know?" She asks. I nod. I hear the bell and run to gym.

-Timeskip to after school-

I run upstairs. Coach will understand why I'm not at Conditioning. Steph had come running after me, but I shut the door before she could come in. "Why are you home so early Y/N? Aren't you supposed to be at Volleyball?" She asks. "Someone found them. A kid found my scars and is going to tell everyone." I cry. "First off, calm down. We don't want you turning into your Alter Ego again. Second off, where's their proof? If they didn't take a picture, then your alright." Steph said. "Yeah... You're right... I just... I need sometime for myself." I say. "Hey, when you feel up to it, you can help your father with his FNAF theory." She says. "The one with Purple Guy and Miketrap right?" I ask. "That's the one. It'll be your first theory together!" Steph says excitedly. I walk downstairs to the closet that looks like a mirror. I hear him muttering in the closet. I run to a bookbag, grab some loose leaf and a pencil, and write I quick note. 'I'm home early, need any help on your theory.' I slide it underneath the door and here it make a rustling noise when I let go. He opened the door. "Hey Y/N! Wish I could squish you in, but, what can I say? We're in a closet." He chuckles. I scratch the back of my neck. "Why are you home so early?" He asks, concerned. "Someone at my school found my scars when they grabbed my wrist. They wanted to ask me a question, but pulled up the sleeve. They ran off, and I got scared, so I came home." I explain. "Oh. Well, they don't have proof right? The only proof is you, so just don't show your scars." MatPat says. "Yeah, Steph said the same thing. So, what's up with you?" I ask. "Weeeelllll I got hired to do a Bendy and the Ink Machine musical for Random Encounters so, I'll work on that for a while." He said
"Nice. Just tell me when your done and I'll come back to do my little scene." I say. "Sure thing. After all, you made this theory." He says. I walk to the living room and see Steph on the phone. "Yeah sure. Uh huh. Wait, what? That's awesome! You want me to do it? Wait, and Y/N? Alright, I'll go tell her." Steph hung up. "Ah! Y/N! How's Mat?" She asks as she glances my way. "He's alright. Still got a lot to do." I say. "Random Encounters wants to do a FNAF Musical again, but this time, girls. I'll be... Well I'll be the female Phone Guy, so what MatPat did last time. They got Trisha, the woman you met at Gamelab, as Nate's character. Your going to be Mark's character. And... I pretty sure they got Ro to do Purple Guy. Everyone else is the same I think." Steph explains. I nod. "Matthew's got a Bendy and the Ink Machine song to do for them. Thing is, I got school so..." I trailed off. "Well, unless you can teleport, we'll get someone else." She said jokingly. I stare at her in disbelief. "Steph, all I need is one look at that set and I can be their. I can glitch remember? It'll be a bit late though, since I have volleyball." I say. She nodded. I walk off to my room as Steph goes to make dinner.
