They woke up from the agonizing sound again. “WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THAT!?!?! YOU DISRUPTED MY FREAKIN SLEEP !!” A girl said. They seemed to be fifteen years old. They had bright pink hair. It was curly and she had it in 2 buns. She was a bit moody sometimes. She was Five. Arley decided to ignore that comment and decided to speak. “Well, you all are finally awake. When you were asleep, we put identification cards near you or in your pockets. For now, you won't use them that much. But please try to keep it in a safe place.” Some people tried to check if they had it. Which they did. The card was mostly white. It had a picture of themselves. It had a blue stripe on top. It showed them their name and age, and some things they like to do. “Anyways, Welcome! This is day one of… being here and doing something! Please try to look at the door near your right. We have set up dinner.” Arley said. He then pointed at the door. Arley then opened the door for the people. They all got inside the other room. Some were doubtful about what they were going to see. Would it be food? Or some other torture plan Arley has been planning. Well, it was food. Some of the 10 people were starving for days and they didn't even know or feel it. “HOW Do WE KNOW IF THE FOOD you're GIVING US ISN'T POISONOUS!!” Five said. “Well, you could believe it is poisonous or not. The more you believe it is, it probably is going to be poisonous for you. But I'm not saying it is of course- hehe. But please try to eat! Me and uh… Other people worked hard on setting up breakfast.” Arley's aid. He was a bit nervous for some reason. Five just pouted in annoyance. On the table, they had eggs, bacon, bread, fruit, and other stuff. Some people seemed to be hungry. Others just seemed skeptical. ----------------------------
Finally, a person decided to sit down and eat. It was the boy who was crying before. Eight. He took the fork and slowly held it up. He was trembling. He then lifted the egg with his fork. He doubtfully put it in his mouth. They blinked a few times. “THIS IS SsoOooOOo gOOD!” Eight said happily. It was the first time they smiled since they got there. A person sighed in relief. Eight seemed happy enough to eat the food, and before he knew it, he already finished. After a few moments, everyone finally sat down at the dinner table. Arley seemed happy by this. Some people decided to finally eat, doubtfully. But, before some people could even eat, there was no more food. Only five people ate a meal. The others were too late, and there was little to nothing left. “Eh…….. Is there more food…?” Eight said. He still seemed to be hungry. “Well, no. Theirs only a limited supply of food here. We fed you as much as we could. There was enough food to feed 5 people. And I guess you all finished it that fast. OHH WELL!!! I guess next time, you all will have to equally share. Orrrr- maybe somebody here needs to leave.” Arley said. The pink-haired girl, Five, seemed to get mad. “IS THIS ALL SOME SORT OF EVIL PLAN? ARE YOU just SLOWLY trying to get us motivated to just……….. Hurt someone?!?!??! Just to eat?? This is outrageous! ” Five said. They seemed to get up and start walking closer to Arley. Arley seemed nervous by this. Then, an agonizing sound started playing on Five’s earpiece. They then seemed to stumble and fall. Other people looked nervously. Arley grinned and then left. There was then a weird silence. When five fell, her world seemed to slowly fade. “WHAT…T HE HECK ARLEY! WHY ARE YOU DOInG this... To.. me…” Five said. But when she opened her mouth, no noise came out. Her vision started to fade more. The last thing she saw was Arley leaving. Five then seemed to go unconscious. “Stop….. It…” Five could only see pure black. Then, she started hearing the agonizing sound. She tried to take off the earpiece she had, but she couldn't. She was too weak and her senses seem to disappear too. Moments later, her vision slowly regained. But, she didn't see the white walls, the other people, or anything else she saw since the first day. Instead, she saw herself, sobbing. “WHY CAN'T I BE LIKE OTHERS? WHY DIDN'T THE STUPID TEACHER LET ME BE THE LEAD DANCER? WHY WHY WHY! MY PARENTS ARE GOING TO BE MAD AT ME! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO WITH ME NOW! THEY TOLD ME I WAS GOING TO BE A FREAKIN FAILURE IF I DIDN'T GET THE LEAD ROLE! They're… Going to hecking kill me……” She said. She shivered and bit her lip. She was emotionally unstable in this situation. She was so scared of what would happen at home if her parents knew. Five seemed to be confused about what was going on. This was Five. This was herself. But it seemed to be another version of herself. This version of five wasn't in the white rooms, with the other ten people. This seemed, to be in another place. Probably a dance room. Fives memories seem to be kind off appearing. She was about to say something to herself, but before she knew it, she was back. In a white room. ---------------------- “You- are you alright???” Someone said. They had green hair. Five seemed to be a little unconscious. But she tried to get up anyways. She couldn't fully get up, but she got up in a sitting position. “Yeah…….. I guess I'm alright.” “Try not to…. Scream at Arley again. Okay? He seemed to be annoyed…… not sure what he did to you, but you passed out. is there anything I could do to make you feel better?” They said. Five sighed. She was tired of all of this. She just wanted to be gone from this place. “Just, leave me alone.” She said. The other person smiled and nodded. They then walked away. Five seemed to sigh again. She finally got up. She saw a few other people in a corner talking. She couldn't see Arley in this room. She wanted to talk to Arley so bad. “Oh Arley, you're going to hecking pay for this.”
