UPSIDE DOWN (CHAPTER 2)

CHAPTER 2

"Y/N! Y/N!" I look around to find Max and El running on where I stand, "What's wrong?" and they catching their breaths for running so fast, and El was the first one to talk, "You're not gonna believe this." I gave them a 'huh?' look and lead me to the cafeteria, once we settled ourselves in our seats, Max began to talk.

"So, do you know about the upcoming project for the last sem?", I took a bite from my sandwich, "Yeah, she gave me my context yesterday. Why?"

"Where is it?" Max asked.

"Where is what?" I asked back.

"The context! duh!" she exclaimingly said.

"Oh. Yeah. Sorry. Geez, Max, would you please calm down for a bit."

"Just give me your goddamn context, Y/N." this time she glared at me. I put out my folder and handling it to her that she quickly took it and opened it. I stare at her and her eyes started bulging, so as Eleven's. And they exchanged looks then turn their heads at me, like they've seen a ghost or something. "What?" I don't know why they're looking at me like that.

Eleven glanced her head side to side, and said, "We're all had the same context that Mrs. Clicks made." she whispered. "Why the hell are you whispering? Is this some kinda sort of a crime? I mean is that bad?"

"To have a same context? I guess not." said Max.

"Then why are you still whispering?" I said half shout, half whisper.

"Because! Maybe someone could hear us--"

"That we're having the same context and we were came from different sections? Is that it?" I cut her off.

She unhesitantly rolled her eyes, "Every students here have a context about science. I mean all of it has something to do with discovery--"

"And experiments and some shits." El additionally said.

"Hmm-mmm." Max hummingly agreed.

Well, that was new. But why Mrs. Clicks do that? Maybe she wanted us to collaborate together to complete this study? Is this really a study or not? But whatever she's been planning about, I hope it won't cause any harm for us.

"And here's the fun part. Mrs. Clicks is really doing some research about the life in the Upper World, which all of her students didn't know." Max said with so much excitement.

"How long?" I asked as I drank my juice.

"10 years." My eyes went wide when I heard that.

"Is she for real? What is she finding for?"

"I don't know. Maybe an answer or something." El said.

"Or maybe she had a son or daughter that lives there."

"Or maybe she had a special someone there, that is why she's finding a way how to get to the Upper World." Eleven added.

I remained silent when they continue babbling theories why Mrs. Clicks is doing some research about to the Upper World. Maybe she had a family there? Does she kicked out from that World and settled here but still finding a way how to come back? Well, there's a lot what if's, and maybe's in our head, but luckily, we had this context. And I'm gonna find out.

I was busy reading on my novel, when that word "Up" came into my mind. I stopped from what I'm reading and stood up to my bed and head towards to my study table. I opened my laptop and search for that title that always boggled up in my mind after I came home. I typed the context and there's so many articles about it.

"ᴜᴘᴘᴇʀ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ : ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪғᴇ ʙᴇʜɪɴᴅ"

"🅃🄷🄴🄾🅁🄸🄴🅂 🅃🄷🄰🅃 🄷🄰🅂 🄱🄴🄴🄽 🄲🄻🄰🄸🄼🄴🄳 🄱🅈 🄰 🄼🄰🄽 🅃🄷🄰🅃 🄾🄽🄲🄴 🄻🄸🅅🄴🄳 🄵🅁🄾🄼 🅃🄷🄴 🅄🄿🄿🄴🅁 🅆🄾🅁🄻🄳 🅂🄰🄸🄳 🄸🅃 🅆🄰🅂 🅃🄷🄴 🄼🄾🅂🅃 🄱🄴🄰🅄🅃🄸🄵🅄🄻 🄿🄻🄰🄲🄴 🄱🅄🅃 🄸🅃 🄷🄰🅂 🄰 🄳🄰🅁🄺🄴🅂🅃 🅂🄴🄲🅁🄴🅃 🅃🄷🄰🅃 🅁🄴🄼🄰🄸🄽🄴🄳 🅄🄽🅃🄾🄻🄳."

Damn. It's too many and I can't decide which should I read first. I continue to browse when something caught my eyes, I read below entitled, "🄰🄽 🅄🄽🄺🄽🄾🅆🄽 🄿🄴🅁🅂🄾🄽, 🅃🄾🄾🄺 🄰 🅅🄸🄳🄴🄾 🄵🅁🄾🄼 🅃🄷🄴 🅄🄿🄿🄴🅁 🅆🄾🅁🄻🄳 🄰🄽🄳 🅈🄾🅄 🅆🄸🄻🄻 🄽🄾🅃 🄱🄴🄻🄸🄴🅅🄴 🅆🄷🄰🅃 🅆🄸🄻🄻 🅈🄾🅄 🅂🄴🄴."

My heart is pounding and I can feel its beating, and I'm literally sweating. I gulped many times before I clicked the play button, and the video started to play.

After that, the video went stop, and I realize that's the end of the video. I'm out of my reverie, I can't forget what I saw, it's.... It's really beautiful, the trees, the houses, buildings, roads, even people, it's absolutely beautiful and you can define the word itself "peaceful" because those people know how to socialize well.

I took a deep breath once more. I got up from my chair and walk towards the window and stare at the sky, the sky that meant to called "The Upper World."

Every people in this city, in this world, wishing to live in the upper world, wishing they could take their families with them, settle for a better life and such. But, they can't just simply go there, their security are made from advanced technology that can detect and locate you easily. And the people who guarded it to protect that world from our world are dangerous, they're merciless unless you came from something good. And that's what my mother and father said to me when I try to reach the gate of the Upper World when I was 10 years old. I was really curious at that time and my parents found out I was missing and they find me standing at the gate, staring at the big loaded guns, ready to shoot the little me. But my parents came to protect me and apologize from what I did. And I felt sorry for them because I was being naive child at that time.

So that I changed for myself and also for my parents, I also got scared with those big guns that aimed to shoot at me. So that I promised myself to control my curiosity and I started not to give an interest about the Upper World anymore. But fate's been playful, it wants me to open my curiosity door again for this unforgettable childhood of mine.

"Well, I guess this time I won't fail."
