Chapter Text

One woke up and rubbed her eyes, Another day. Her teal circle alarm clock rang and she switched it off as she stood up and stretched her arms, Going to the bathroom in her mini-mansion that her parents owned and brushing her teeth, She thought. It was the first class of the new year at the Algebra highschool, And nobody was looking forward to it.

As she was brushed, She pulled out her phone which she had grabbed when she first woke up and texted.

GC - EQUATION PLAYGROUND

One: Hey guys.

MOSTcoolestpersonhere: yo

Iwasforcedtobehere: Does anyone else have 63 as a teacher?

Sixer: Yeah I think most of us do

Iwasforcedtobehere: oh

—-----

She sighed, Of course they all had the same teacher. What a coincidence- The group chat had formed all the way back in middle school and they had been inseparable- Well, Mostly inseparable since then.

She had to withstand the teacher constantly yelling at Fourteen for harassing people, Nine for vandalizing the walls outside with spray paint, And Five bossing them all around so none of them failed. Yeah, It was all in good intention! But it was annoying as hell.

Four and Six were arguing in the other room about something she didn’t care enough about to listen to.

After she finished, She got dressed in a tux shirt and a long ankle length black skirt and walked out. She’d have to deal with the new year, And so did everyone else. Sigh.

–POV SWITCH, WITH THE ZEROES.(And Nine) [They all go by their GC names.]

Zero sighed as everything broke into absolute chaos throughout the small apartment, All 5 of his siblings running around to get ready. Zro was panicking about a stupid hat, Zaza’s hair brush broke, And Nine was whining about them hurrying up since their Mom forced them to drive them all in their van.

“I’m gonna leave you all if you don’t hurry up!” They sighed, The Zeroes would probably ruin the thing with how unorganized they were at times- Or synced. It was creepy- Sometimes they would just stand there in a line in unison and not speak for hours. Ew.

After a good 30 minutes, Everyone bunched inside. Nine dropped ZZ at her elementary school and then took the rest of them to the highschool, Since Nine was the oldest. Having 5 siblings was annoying as hell, Nobody knew how they did it.

–POV SWITCH, WITH FIFTEEN AND THREE

“Dude, I’m not walking.” Three sighed.

“Yes the hell you are.” Fifteen replied

“WE LITERALLY HAVE A CAR.” They did, Sure, But none of them could drive it.

“I have a DUI!” Yeah, That was hard to explain.

“Is that MY problem?” Three remarked.

“I LEGALLY cannot drive you.”

They both sighed, Three grabbed their backpack and- Though pissed off, They started the long walk to the highschool. Unfortunately, The two lived in the middle of the forest after Fifteen moved out and took her younger sibling with her.

“You’re so annoying.”

“I’m not the one with a suspended drivers license.” That earned Three a punch in the side- Though it was pretty much deserved. It was no surprise they were constantly bickering and arguing, Especially without a proper adult around.

After a good 50 minutes, Which was excruciating and made Three take off their black leather jacket, They finally arrived at the highschool. Fifteen was in a higher grade than Three, So they went their separate ways in the hallway and Three met with One, Five, And Ten.

“Are you okay?” Five asked- Obviously Three wasn’t, But they insisted they were.

“Dude, You look rough.” Nine winced when they skateboarded to the Four. It was a wonder how they never got suspended for Skateboarding inside of the hallways. The tracks were pretty clear and made the School look dirty.

Six and Four were with them surprisingly, Four pretty much hated the other algebraliens other than X since they were good friends, And despite Six and Nine getting into fights a lot they were practically seen together 24/7.

“Shut up.” Three gritted their teeth under their breath, Everyone knew they lived in a forest which was said to have some sort of ghost in it. Something about a copy of a girl that everyone hated that looked different and haunted people.

“We should get to class.” Five said, Before proceedingly getting called a dork by Seven who was walking by. Five glared and grabbed them by the jacket before they could run away and dragged him to math knows where.

“Yeah I don’t wanna be the next dudes! Peace.” Nine said before skating backwards and tripping, Which caused several of the Numbers to laugh at them before they all walked to class together.

–-POV SWITCH - GC WITH THE DOUBLE DIGITS

scaredycat: wya guys

Fifteen: Hell if i know, This school is huge

skin: principal office :3

Fifteen: Are we surprised

Ten!: how do i file a restraining order

skin: I'm going to find you

Ten!: Is it worse I know this is completely serious, Or that I now have the feeling of impending doom looming over me?

scaredycat: both

Ten!: genius

Fifteen: Good luck with that..!

Ten!: I got in the hospital for 8 months last time r u srs

skin: sorry

Ten!: How are you allowed in schools??

skin: parents

Fifteen: Figures.

scaredycat: Hey, I just checked the list and we’re all in the same class!

Ten!: does it include Fourteen.

scaredycat: unfortunately

skin: :(

—-----

Ten stared at the screen with mild concern, Being in a class with Fourteen- The kid who literally is a cannibal and the fact that you're still healing from him attempting to eat your skin is prone to bring fear.

Of course, It was too late to switch classes, So he would simply ignore Fourteen the entire year. Or four years, Basically. Ten walked into the classroom- Well at least he was .. somehow already in the office due to whatever the hell he did.

Sixteen was shaking while she sat at her desk, Her hands were twitching and he wouldn’t be surprised if she had forgotten her meds again. Fifteen was in her seat not paying attention to anything that was being said during introductions, And during roll call, The teacher audibly sighed when she read Fourteen's name and saw he wasn’t there, Seemed she already knew.

The double-digit class was for kids who were older than everyone else, And even then it was pretty disturbing even though it was made of few people. The teacher seemed to mumble things to remember them and Fifteen looked like she would tell you not to attend tomorrow.

Ten was obviously different from everyone else, He had a bright orange Hawaiian themed shirt and jorts, Which contrasted from Fifteens.. Everything, And Sixteens gray dark orange hoodie.

He sighed, What a wonderful pack of friends.

–POV SWITCH WITH THE OTHERS

The room was utter chaos, Literally. Zro was crying because one of his siblings leaked a video on youtube of him doing something embarrassing again, The teacher was about to lose her shit, Seven and Five were still nowhere to be seen, Nine and Six were fighting again over something stupid, And Three and One were ominously sitting in the corner of the room.

Eight looked like he was about to cry, And Four was gone too.

“SILENCE!” Sixty-Three shouted as she slammed her hands on her desk loud enough to ring across the room.

“It’s 10 AM And so math help me if even ONE of you has to be sent to the office before class is dismissed.
EVERYONE in your seat, Nine, You to the other side of the room and Six, You stay where you are. Zro, Give me your phone and Calm down in the bathroom. I’ll handle it later.”

Zro sniffled and handed Sixty-Three his phone before running out and One and Three seemingly teleported back to their seats like nothing happened.

Surprisingly, The rest of the class went pretty smoothly for a while, The occasional chatter was enough to not send the Teacher into another fit of rage which seemed to spook them all previously.

It was decently peaceful before the door was kicked open and another Teacher walked in who was practically dragging Seven and Five back.

“These two were in the bathrooms. I’m not explaining what they were doing.”

Five’s hair was messy and so was Seven’s, Five’s glasses were tilted and both of them seemed flushed.

The teacher looked like he gave up on life long ago and he sighed before turning around and leaving with no other words. The other nosy students peaked their heads over to look and Seven ran into a different corner of the room covering his face as Five seemed to try and fix his makeup.

“Uh huh.. Sit down, Now.”

Five immediately obeyed, Being enthusiastic about learning about math for some strange reason. Seven was still busy wiping their face off for some reason nobody else could figure out.

They arrived, Very much to Five’s dismay, Horrifically late earning them an absence on the first day. Much to Five’s protest, They were also sent to office. Seems like by the end of the day this entire class will be in there!

As the class ended, Six, Nine, Five, Seven, And Eight crowded into one of the bathrooms in the “Weird” Area of the school.

“Dude, What happened?” Nine spoke up.

“Uhh..” Seven couldn’t exactly explain, Especially with Five glaring daggers at him. Shrug.

“Yeah, You look worse than Nine-” Six mocked before they got an elbow in the waist.

“I don’t want to be involved in this.” Eight sighed as he escaped quicker than the pace of light. Five sighed and picked up their phone,

“Has anyone in the group texted about it? You know they talk fast.”

“Uh, Yeah bro. Everyone thinks you made out or something.” Nine said with a hint of concern, They weren't wrong.

Five turned dark purple at that- Oh shit.

“And you didn’t STOP them?”

“Dude, I’m part of everyone.”

“You’re all insufferable.”

–POV SWITCH, WITH THE DOUBLE DIGITS

Sixteen shivered. It felt like they were in ice cold water. Yeah, They probably should’ve taken their meds. They were hallucinating and their entire body was shaking. It wasn’t long before they were sent to the nurse.
Of course, It was so bad they had to be sent home. They really needed to get herself in check one day, Huh?

Shrug, They’d be fine as long as they pushed through, Right?

..Right?

No.

By the time the school day ended, It was once again chaos.

The four horsemen of death, denial, and everything vile were in the office [6, 7, 9, and 5] for skipping class, Fourteen was in the office for attacking a squirrel, Sixteen was in the office waiting for her parents, Fifteen beat someone up, Three and One were caught smoking in the back of the building, And Ten and Eight tried to escape.
The zeroes were nowhere to be found.

It was a horrible mess.

Four , X and Two were long gone, Math knows where, And Nine was setting up a huge house party. After basically inviting everyone to what was going to be a rave in their house, All the parents finally arrived to pick their kids up after detention for what felt like hours- Or well, Fifteen and Three just left after it was over.

. . .

“Nine, WHERE are the zeroes.”

“I dunno.”

–POV SWITCH, IN NINES HOUSE

Nine was busy setting everything up, A shit ton of decorations and food. Simply because if they didn’t then Fourteen would lunge at someone. They sighed, This was a surprising lot, But it was normal for their huge parties.

Luckily, Their parents left for some stupid trip since they needed a “Break,” And decided it was a good idea to leave their child with 5 other kids.

At around 9PM, The first people arrived. It was Nine’s closest friends of course, Since they planned to force them to help them set up. It was just Six, Seven. And Five. After setting up the last table, They plugged in their speakers. Yeah, the whole neighborhood would hear that.

It only took a good while for Everyone else to arrive while Nine switched off the lights and Five attempted to talk them out of it before they got arrested again, Since it wasn’t the first time they had a huge block party.

“Nine, This is stupid.”

“Too late bro!”

“Oh my math.”

She sighed in defeat and decided to change into something more appropriate for a party, Since a hoodie would probably look dumb.

Of course, Nine went all out. A two colored Yellow and Blue jacket, A crop top, 3 pairs of glasses, [One on their shirt for decoration, One for their eyes since they were blind as hell, And one on their forehead.], And more glow bracelets then you can count. Jeans with star patches and a piano design on the bottom which they INSISTED were cool.

Oh, and ROLLER SKATES.

Six was, In a generally similar outfit though it had their own special flair. Still, They had a heck ton of glow bracelets and were already drinking. Who wouldn’t, Anyways? Eight were at the front for the reason that they were the strongest one there and probably had to kick someone out eventually due to the utter chaos heading their way.

Ten was in a SOMEHOW wilder outfit than Nine, Wearing similar pants, Glow bracelets, Kandi, Necklaces, And basically everything you can think of. They had their signature jacket with no shirt and somehow decided it wouldn’t be freezing that day.

One was in an outfit almost out of character for her. She had bell-bottoms with slits and a crop top as well, Gloves on her prosthetic arms and also a cup in hand. Nine didn’t know where anyone was at, They were too busy messing with the music and making sure it set the vibes and then annoying people.

Seven had around 5 different belts on, Jeans, And another crop top above a long sleeved undershirt. Their hair was styled differently with multiple add-ons, Surprisingly. Fourteen- Was.. Well, Fourteen. They were just wearing a normal shirt and shorts with a ton of random accessories to hide it. Not that they were even visible- Due to the lights, They were able to hide in the corner. Nine were praying they didn’t attack someone again.

The Zeroes were disturbingly standing in an idle line somewhere as always, Unfortunately Nine forgot to kick them out to go do something. Zero was the only one who really cared, And Zro was nervous.

Sixteen was in a skirt, And a bat sleeved crop top short enough to not be considered a shirt anymore. They were presumably chatting with One, Probably to get something. Three was on their 6th cup within a few minutes, With a few of the numbers chanting on for them.. Good lord.

Soon enough, Even the people who insisted they wouldn’t come arrived. The music was loud enough to be heard all the way in the other block, And it was nearing 12AM. Two, Four and X were discussing something that couldn’t be heard and the usual friend group was talking about drama and rumours. After Five emerged, They were dragged into the crowd against their will and decided to give up and join the party.

Three and Six were obviously Drunk, Nine was too busy dancing to realize ANY chaos, And Fifteen looked absolutely done. No wonder she never attended these things. Sixteen was tweaking out in a corner while talking to Zaza, And the rest of the zeroes left long ago.

“Girl. You look insane.” Zaza said with concern.

“I-I know? I know. Okay.” Sixteen seemed to think out loud- WHAT could she possibly be on.

“Are you okay?” Zaza winced.

“Mhm! Totally. Yes. I am. Okay!” Yeah okay.

Zaza sighed, Walking away. She would probably join the Zeroes later, But whatever. That was for later. For now she would party, They were always stuck with some stupid chore piled on by someone else and they were all VERY fed up with it by now. Last time, She literally got a steaming burn on her face from an “Accident” By the other zeroes.

She was still healing a little, But the lighting and dangerous amount of makeup she had on was prone to hide it. Deciding to enter a conversation somewhere else, She approached Ten.

“Yo!!” She waved as she walked over.

“Hi Zaza!” He waved back as he held a small cup in the other hand.

“Do you know where everyone else is? The zeroes, I mean.”

She would look stupid if she didn’t clarify, They were quite literally in the middle of a huge crowd.

“Uh, No sorry-”

He scratched the back of his neck before being dragged somewhere else from behind.. Well, She wasn’t going to question that! She sighed, Getting ready to go look somewhere else but just as she reached for her purse Eight bursted through the door.

“THE COPS ARE HERE!”

He shouted, Of course he didn’t plan to get involved, But saying everyone in the house was yassified beyond belief it was obvious they were screwed. Eight ran inside to go hide somewhere and Nine’s glasses fell off as they jumped, Grabbed Six and dragged them elsewhere. Probably to avoid the cops knowing they were the owner.

Three, Being the absolute idiot they were, Got caught being drunk out of their mind. Everyone in the party was underage, Resulting in them being arrested.

Shit.

Five decided it was a good idea to start yelling at everyone to run, Running upstairs to hide himself. Seven also got caught, Arrested, And thrown in the car with Three. This was going horribly.

Fifteen flipped off the cops before running outside, So now she was on the run and actively being chased even though she was the only one over 18. Sixteen were taken by an ambulance and One disappeared long ago. Two Four and X ran out as well, Not planning to be interrupted with “Show talk” Or whatever the hell they were on about.

Soon enough, Nine and Six were found in Nine’s parents' master bedroom in a closet trying to hide, And got arrested as well. It was a funny sight, Nine was crying and couldn’t see 5 feet ahead of them since their glasses were long discarded and Six was cussing her out.

Five was yelled at but let go since her mom was one of the cops on duty. The terror in their eyes was showing as they got in the cop car to be driven home and were going to be grounded for a good while.

Ten and Fourteen weren’t found, Presumably running back into the forest as soon as they heard sirens.. Well if a body was found tomorrow, At Least they know who did it.

“Nine, I’m going to kill you.” Six sighed.

“Dude, I know. I’m so cooked.”

“You are sizzled.”

“I KNOW.”

After they arrived at the station, All of the kids were meant to sit as the police called their guardians. It wasn’t a good look at all, They were all drunk and partied out of their mind, And at this point it was around 3 AM.

Nine were still crying and Six looked like they were about to pass out, Five was ALSO crying, (This is the first time ANYONE has ever seen them express this much emotion,) And Three had to be restrained because they tried to stab a officer with a broken bottle shard.

Seven was not surprised, They knew this would happen, They didn’t really care all that much.

“I regret this entire thing.” Five sighed, Putting their head into their hands and sighing.

By the time everyone's parents arrived, Nine’s parents gave them the worst death glare and Six was dragged out. Three was, Well.. Their parents couldn’t pick them up since they didn’t have custody anymore and Fifteen was on the run so they stood back. Five was worried about Three but their Mom made them go home.

Seven just walked out after their guardian arrived looking like they had no surprise and gave up long ago.

This was going to be a long day tomorrow.

Chapter Text

It was a new day, A new morning, And a new story to behold. AKA, The Algebraliens making everyone else's lives hell. It was about a week after the party, A sunday, and with the day free drama was prone to happen.

Chapter Text

It was mid day, And the cashier was contemplating her entire life up to this point to the horde of teenagers in the convenience store. All the numbers except for obviously Fifteen , Ten, Fourteen, And Two, Four, X were there for obvious reasons.

“Are you all gonna buy anything or..?”

“Shush bro! We’re having a meeting.”

“Nine, Shut up.” Five sighed, This was so stupid. Who CARED about Ten, Anyways?

Eventually after huddling into the corner in a circle for a few minutes and discussing how they were going to break into Ten’s parents’ estate, They decided on Nine throwing her skateboard through the window and breaking it and then using the tallest one there as a ladder.

Sixteen did not like to be stepped on figuratively or literally, So they hated this but eventually folded.

After leaving, (Five paid the poor cashier 50$ in an apology,) They headed down the street to the gated neighborhood Ten lived in. It really just raised more questions since he was in a forest like 6 blocks away, And a killer walk.

“Why are we doing this again?” Eight asked, They were desperately trying to convince the others to decide to not do it even if they were nearing Ten’s backyard.

“Eight trust us, It’ll be fun!”

“Seven, There’s nothing fun about breaking into someone's house because you're nosy.”

“Owch!”

After they all gathered around in Ten’s backyard without his knowledge, They watched as Nine kissed his skateboard goodbye and launched it into the window. Surprisingly, Ten was very deaf. Sixteen stood in the ground to help them all climb up since his bedroom was on the 3rd floor and they could only throw to the 2nd, But atleast it wasn’t as big as a climb.

“I know the way around his house.” Eight spoke up, They couldn’t believe they were assisting in this.. And they were heavy as hell, So it’s a wonder how Sixteen pushed them up and then climbed up herself.

“Of course you do.” Six rolled their eyes and then followed with everyone else around. It was a decently large mini mansion, With long hallways, Three floors, And rooms everywhere. Wherever there wasn’t a door, There were family photos of their ancestors, It was creepy as hell.

Eight turned around at a door labeled “10”, Which was presumably Ten. He turned around, Initially to whisper to the others that he was going to knock- But in obvious Three fashion he ran to the front and kicked open the door like the FBI was about to arrest Ten or something.

“OH MY MATH! I SWEAR I PAID MY- Oh, Hi guys!” Ten screamed louder than a siren, jumping out from his bed and falling on the floor but then immediately getting up and waving to them all. He wished they’d knock, He looked terrible at the moment AND he hadn’t even done his makeup.

And by terrible, He meant terrible. His hair was everywhere, All he had was a stained gray shirt and shorts- But that was covered by a huge blanket he had wrapped around him like a fortress.

“Hey bro!”

Nine had long retrieved their skateboard and was getting mud everywhere from skating inside which slightly angered Ten, But not yet enough for him to lash out on them.

“What’s up? And why couldn’t you guys knock?”

“They smashed your window and climbed in.” Sixteen sighed, Inviting herself to flop onto Ten’s bed on the verge of passing out.

“You WHAT??” Ten almost seemed to jump out of their skin, Running out to see the damage and dragging the giant blanket with him.

“Do you guys wanna raid his fridge?”

“Yeah.”

So Five, Six, And Nine went to terrorize Ten’s kitchen until he came back which would presumably be a while since.. Well, They broke his window. Nine almost fell since they weren’t used to walking, (They are an idiot and skate everywhere) Especially down 3 sets of stairs in a row.

Five and Six obviously ran at the speed of light to fight over the chips since Ten was known for having the best food, Money, And in general being better off than all of them. Even Five- Who lived in the same community.
Nine was too focused on planning out how to beg for his video games since he didn’t even play them and had the “Most radical” Series ever.

After they were done fighting over a bag of doritos, They all ran upstairs to find that Ten still wasn’t back, And hadn’t even started yelling at them for being idiots yet, So as always they made Sixteen go check it out.

She sighed, Accepting defeat for the third time today and putting on her hood and pulling the strings to hide her absolutely exhausted face the best she could before she walked to go check it out, Hell she hadn’t even remembered any of the previous instructions from before and Eight hadn’t gone with her.

Of course, She didn’t plan on getting lost so she dragged him with her to go look for Ten. He was in the same boat as her, They both looked like single parents of 7 despite being in high school.

Eventually winding a corner and entering the empty room in which resembled an office that they broke into, Ten was on the floor sitting- Probably waiting for them to leave. Well, At Least he didn’t expect them to come looking for him.

“Ten?” Eight crouched next to him.

He looked split between about to burst out laughing and concerned. Which mostly looked like he was going to start crying but he wasn’t, So that was relatively better!

“I’m not going back there to listen to you guys argue over something stupid or what happened at that party, Also you’re paying for my window.”

“Figures.”

The three decided to sit and wait since the others were bound to start fighting, Get lost, Or run out of things to do and leave. Sixteen decided to just smoke and Eight and Ten decided to yap about board games and Object show 87.

Back in Ten’s room, though. Absolute Chaos. Count how many times I say Chaos during the entirety of this, I dare you. But back to them- It was horrible. Six and Nine were on the ground fighting over Math knows what, Seven was hiding in the closet from Five because she was on the verge of beating his ass for stealing her chips, And Three was stealing Ten’s makeup and glamming theirself up.

Eventually, Ten swore his parents would be home in 30 Minutes and went to usher them out until he saw how wrecked his room was.

“FIX THIS MESS!”

Unfortunately, The group of idiots couldn’t do anything on their own and during the montage had a bunch of fights. Three looked like a whole new person- Who knew he knew how to do a full face? Half of them had wrecked the floor from throwing each other and they still had to fix the window.

Ten stood by the wall and watched, Although he still had the blanket covering his entire body. He looked like a moth in a cocoon. When everyone was done, They all (Sadly) left since Ten was on the verge of beating all of their asses.

Just hoped they wouldn't catch on.

Chapter Text

IN THE GROUPCHAT.

One: Hey guys, We got a new person.

TPOT: Huh?

[ONE HAS ADDED @Omnipotent_Entity]

2763: Hello.

MOSTcoolestpersonhere: yo

Sixer: WHY do I feel like I've heard of you before.

2763: I’m pretty well known.

Sixer: erm ok

— At the school.

Nine, Six, Three, Five, And Seven were walking through the hallways during their free period as usual. Though, Every period was a free period for them since they just skipped whenever they felt like it.

They were standing in the hallways talking about stupid things like their cats, What glasses were cool enough, And Five were talking about weird romance novels which nobody paid attention to for obvious reasons.

Eventually, They spotted the principal walking around which made them duck into a weird hallway-ish part of the school to hide to see what she was talking about since she was talking to somebody.

Unfortunately, When your hair is neon red and your friend is blue you stand out a bit.

“You Five, Come here.”

“Five as in him or..?” Nine pointed out.

“Don’t play stupid.”

“Sheesh okay man..”

They all walked up to her and saw the person next to her, Which was multicolored, Yellow, Red, Blue, Really every color you could think of. They had long hair that almost resembled clouds and four arms.

“Who’s that?” Five spoke up.

“Who am I?”

. . .

“This is Two Thousand, Seven hundred, Sixty-three.”

Insert exchanged glances, If they had Two they could be that- Of course excluding Five and Nine.

“Hello.”

“Can you Five tour them? They’re new.”

“Uh, Well-” Seven didn’t really feel like speaking to someone new and-

“Okay, Bye!”

The principal walked away just like that and left them alone with the new strange looking person. They didn’t resemble any of the other numbers, Well, Except Four a little but that was about it. They looked like they’d been there longer than anyone else to be honest.

Nine leaned over into Sixes’ ear and whispered-

“Hear me out..”

Which got them a punch in the side of their torso.

Two Thousand, Seven hundred, Sixty-Three, Which we’re simply going to call 2763 for now, Moved like they were 8 different people in one body. They had a stare that could kill, And they seemed as if they wanted to trap everyone. In which, They did- For they participated in stupid pranks including locking people in bathrooms and other things.

Eventually, After a school day consisting of chatting about books and nerding out with Five, Practicing skateboard tricks with Nine, Drawing on students’ faces who fell asleep with Seven, And Painting with Six, 2763 Found themself in a classroom with every Algebralien we know and love.

Ten was on their guitar which- 2763 found their music taste horrible and begged them to stop while disguising it as a joke to come off as polite.

Surprisingly enough, Two, Four, And X Showed up for the small group get-together and chatted with the others. Sixteen was chatting with 2763 About how strange the school was. It always scared them. Sixteen was known for being scared and too worried about stepping out of anything new, Anyhow.

Three was boasting about how 2763 missed the giant party where everything went to shit and she got arrested, Though it wasn’t exactly a flex in their eyes anyways. They sat on an empty desk in the abandoned classroom all of them were in with a portable mini fan to their face due to the scorching heat of the School in which they refused to get AC’s for some strange reason.

“So, Are you gonna join our group?”

“Why not, You seem like a bright bunch.”

This was the start of the end.

Chapter Text

One wasn’t usually spoken about. She was a silent person, Someone you’d see in the shadows or behind the building smoking while staring into the forest behind the school. She looked and was more mature than anyone else, Just someone you knew had a future. You could slide a paper to her and someone was taken care of, But nobody knew her secrets or how she did it.

She had a gaze that could crumble someone and a hell of a kick.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Are you sure about this?”

“Yes.”

One slid the shadowy figure a piece of paper with a contract on it and they signed. She uncrossed her legs and leaned on the table.

“You won’t regret your decision.”

– In the School.

One walked through the halls. The silence and tension was so thick every step she took was thunder. She made her way through without sparing anyone a glance, Everyone already knew what was about to go down. When she had a deadpan face and she wore her least favorite suit because you knew she was going to get it dirty. You knew someone would end up on the floor blood splattered and it wouldn’t be her.

It didn’t matter if it was her friend or if it was her enemy. A job was a job.

“One, We’re pals right-?”

They’ll plead.

She wouldn’t respond. She’d just stand there with her poisonous gaze and swing. A punch on each side of the face and then the chin. Then she’d get them on the ground and stomp. Sure, She’d get caught and they’d go to the hospital but she had Money. And money can get you places.

She wasn’t trustworthy nor kind. She was cunning, Clever, And charismatic. She’d put on a happy mask for you and wrap someone’s body up with a bow if it meant you paid her.

“Just sign!”

As Long as you had your thumbprint on that contract paper she’d make your very wish come true. It didn’t matter if she had to kill or just hospitalize. Her favors could go from ending a life to helping you study.

She was a silent predator, She’d stalk from the shadows and jump when someone was vulnerable. It was a system.
She’d pay someone for details, Usually Fourteen since he was a psycho stalker or She’d manipulate Seven since he was a “Friendly” Guy and he thought they were best friends for some reason.

One could fill a grown man with fear.

And she did. Hundreds of times. Her parents had power and so did she. She wasn’t someone you’d want to mess with.

That was simply an unspoken rule.

Of course, Her friends were not the people to ignore which was why she thought it was a bunch she’d have to dispose of eventually.. But they were nice enough so that she’d stay around for the rest of the year before she disappeared and never popped up again. Her parents were travelers, Especially when they needed to escape from the cops she had to switch schools frequently.

They had planned a study group session at Five’s house, So she made a choice to attend for once. Maybe she could get information or help them in order for them to do other things for her.

She arrived soon enough in a long dark yellow skirt and a blue tank top.

“Hey guys!”

“Hey One!”

As always, They never suspected anything. She was One, She was just a weird kid, Right? A silent One. But not like Fifteen silent- Like she was smart and she had potential but she wouldn’t do anything to you. She was kind, Right?

Right?

They all sat in a circle on a fuzzy carpet in front of a fireplace. Basically everything in Five’s house was purple, Including Five themself. The reason for this specific Study group session was for an upcoming Test which would end the first Quarter of the school year for them. It hadn’t been long, Yes, But turns out days pass by fast.

As they chatted about things such as math, Science, Other things unrelated to school, It quickly became nightfall. Of course, None of them had a car, nor a driver since it was around 2 AM by the time someone had decided to use their brain and check the time.

“Oh. Are you guys gonna be okay to go home by yourselves or do you have to stay the night?”

“Uh.. I dunno bro, It’s super late.”

“Sigh, Uh.. I don’t know where I'm going to store 9 people.” Five groaned, Their house was big, Sure, But it wasn’t that large.

“Just.. Go find somewhere and I’m going to bed.”

Well, As simple as the Algebraliens are, They aren’t simple at all. They’re complicated beings of chaos which thrive on panic and fear and decide to cause the world unnecessary harm.

Five and Seven just went to Five’s bedroom, Three decided to sleep in a Kitchen cabinet for whatever strange reason and called it her fortress, Ten, Nine, And Six hid in a walk-in closet and One and Sixteen just shrugged and decided to bunk on the couch like normal human beings since they were the only slightly sane people in this house.

“You know they’re going to wreck your house, Right?”

“Yeah, I know. I’m just going to tell Fifteen to beat their asses for me.”

“Fair enough.”

While Three was doing backflips in a sad attempt of sleeping in which they vowed not to do since they needed to “Protect their kingdom”, Ten was in an almost airtight box with 2 idiots and decided, Hey, Maybe getting your skin eaten wasn’t so bad afterall right?
Of course, One had long been gone since she teleported away while nobody was looking and Sixteen was completely knocked out.

Here's the problem-

Something happened.

Chapter Text

Sometimes when you read a fic like this, You smile due to the fact you’re not the characters.

This is one of them times.

~In Five’s house.

The study group sleepover was going just as well as Nine’s party a few days back. By just as well, I mean horribly. You would think for just One simple night at 3 AM these idiots would be normal, Despite being the literal epitome of chaos.

Unfortunately, You’d be horribly wrong.

In the closet with Ten, Six, And Nine, It was the most normal it could be at the moment. Ten was trying desperately to fall asleep, But it was hard to sleep when you're cramped into a tiny closet with 2 chaotic lesbians. Six and Nine were sitting across from each other and staring into the void of one another's eyes without a word.

Made Ten think they were speaking shit about people including him telepathically.

In the living room, Sixteen was curled up peacefully- Though they couldn’t stop rolling around for a good position. She sighed, Getting up- Five hadn’t even given them any blankets so they resorted to anything else. Three was sleeping in the kitchen cabinet with a bag of flour when Sixteen went to go get a midnight snack.

“Girl, What are you doing?”

“..aaauhhh..”

It was a half asleep mumble.

“I need to get better friends.”

She slammed the cabinet and decided to go back to attempting to sleep with a sigh. Unfortunately, That really woke up Three. Since Three was the literal spawn of hell, He decided to be an absolute menace to everyone else in this entire house.

After crawling out with immense back pain, They went to the living room where Sixteen was.

“I’m bored.”

“Three, Go to sleep dude.”

“Do you wanna go annoy Five!”

Of course, Three immediately resorted to puppy dog eyes and Sixteen sighed and obliged, Knowing if they didn’t they would be Three’s next victim. The pair settled on sneaking upstairs to scare Five awake, Which would probably result in them being kicked out but what the hell, Let some girls live a little.

While they creeped up the stairs, They could’ve sworn they heard something- But they wouldn’t be surprised if it matched their synced thoughts.

Sixteen was starting to heavily regret this.

“Three, I don’t- I don’t think we should do this..” She whispered.

“Stop being a crybaby!”

“But-”

“SHUT UP.” He half whispered and half yelled.

They reached Five’s room and slowly opened the door.

All Four people in this situation had their souls leave their body.

It was just as bad as you'd expect, Except worse.

When you walk in on Two of your friends in which one is lacking a shirt and the other is halfway there, You’d probably scream and start crying hoping the image leaves your mind. That’s exactly what happened to Sixteen and Three. Five and Seven froze in the midst of their peculiar activity, Before screaming in the fear of being caught.

“GET OUT MY ROOM.” Five yelled as she threw a pillow at Three’s face and shut the door.

“Oh my Math.” Sixteen mumbled as she stared at the wall like she just watched an orphanage burn down.

“I told you this was a horrible idea–”

“I.. I’m going back into the cabinets.” Three whispered like they were on the verge of tears.

Sixteen nodded, Slowly retrieving down the stairs to the couch once again. Of course, Three is a raging liar because as soon as she was out of sight, She started laughing hysterically and made her way to the other hallways where the walk-in closet was located.

Back inside, Ten was rocking back and forth and regretting his entire life decisions. He was in the middle of an active interrogation.

“Ten bro, You GOTTA tell us!” Nine pleaded,

“Yeah dude, You have to.” Six basically finished their sentence.

“WHY?”

“I dunno, If I was in a forest with- IT. I would probably cry.”

“Same thing as being in a closet with Six-” Which earned them a kick.

Ten sighed, It had been rather stressful to wear giant hoodies for days in scorching weather, But Six and Nine were not the most trustworthy people.. Especially Nine. They balanced the Pro’s And Con’s of explaining everything to them but then just decided to be quick to shut them up.

For the big reveal, He decided to be slow as fuck. Though it was mostly just to annoy them, Anyways. When he took the big gray sweater he had been sporting for a few days, He still had a tank top on but it was more visible.

He had a bunch of bite marks– Including ones in a few questionable places that you wouldn't normally be bitten in if you were under attack.

“Dude..”

“What the shit.”

Six and Nine just stared at him in mild confusion before it clicked in their tiny peanut brains in sync.

Of course, Just before he was going to put it back on, Three kicked down the door like a maniac. All they saw was white as she snapped a picture and then ran away like a mad man- oh shit.

They were cooked.

Nevermind cooked- all of them were burnt.

Chapter Text

Not mentioned before, But there was a blog on Tumblr run by Two anonymous algebraliens in which they clearly hated everyone. It was called @AlgebraAwfulAsks or something like that, And it had anonymous photos, Confessions, And horrible things that happened.

Embarrassing and wild things.

These things consisted of: The previous Five and Seven bathroom incident, The giant party in which everyone got arrested, Two teachers being caught in the lounge, One beating people’s asses, And Two being beat up by a bunch of freshmen.

Nobody knew who it was run by, Everyone just knew they wanted it gone. It had secrets even they didn’t know about themselves. At first people thought it was Eight because it didn’t have much about them– But Eight’s just a boring freak. Then they thought it was Fourteen because he’s a stalker- Nope, Not him either.

Eventually, Everyone gave up. It was horrible, It even had Fifteen’s prison records and Now? Well, Let’s just say it got updated with a few very interesting things.

Other things such as Ten’s horrendous situation and Five and Seven being walked in on. At this point, Due to the situation at hand their digital footprints were horrible. Saying someone was posting photos and other things involving them, It was sure to ruin future job and college applications.

The day after the sleepover, Everyone was on edge. It was hard to remember anything for everyone, Saying the entire fiasco happened at the break of dawn.

In the classroom, Almost everyone was in complete zombie mode, not even having enough energy to do stupid things and piss off the teacher out of pure boredom and a good bunch of them had already fallen asleep at their desks. Three, however, was not there.

At break time, a few of them went to a small bench in the hallway to sit and talk about things. Eight couldn’t care less about the silly things they had to say, So naturally he went on his phone to check a few things. He got a notification and opened it- Except.. It wasn’t just any notification.

“Guys, Look.”

When they all turned their heads, It was a notification from that tumblr blog.

“Oh my Math-”

It was pictures of the previous events last night, But the worst part? Almost everyone in the school was following that mysterious person, Including a few teachers. It wasn’t just gossip now- It had full pictures. Evidence for their claims, Answers to the spreading rumors.

It was obvious everyone had got a notification when their phones buzzed at the same time in the hallway, So the bunch huddled in one of the bathrooms people avoided because the lights didn’t work and the school had bad funding. It was one you went to if you wanted to skip class or do substances.

It didn’t take too long before Fifteen, Sixteen, And Ten entered through the door because they knew the common meetup place, But Fifteen, Eight, and the others who hadn’t attended, Had no clue of what was going on.

How would they explain why and how those pictures were taken- All they knew was the culprit of it all.

Or did they?

Would Three spread all of these rumors? Would they really send the photos? Well, The answer was yes. They loved trouble, Arguments, And fighting. It was a brewing ground for all of that, And they knew what they were doing.

They knew what they were doing.

They knew.

Chapter Text

They concocted a decent enough plan, Text Three and then pretend that they didn't know anything since they hadn't attended that specific day. They would act like they didn't know anything that happened and get them cornered- and then they would confront them. Easy enough, right?

Well, easier said than done. In order to go through with this they'd have to get Three to go all the way to the school or convince Fifteen to let them in their shared cabin, Which would never ever happen.
They could probably bribe her with what happened though.. Right.

“Fifteen, This is serious. We need to get him.” Five sighed, Though she was mostly focusing on fixing her own messes.

“No.”

She rolled her eyes. The last thing she’d ever do was let anyone inside her cabin, Let alone to jump her brother. This was not going to happen, Nuh uh, not on her watch.

“Please?”

She had a soft spot for certain people.. including Sixteen, So when she asked because even she had stuff on that blog that could ruin everything, She sighed.

“Ugh.. I'll bring him out. You guys aren't going inside or hurting him.”

“Thanks bro!”

They all went, The teachers were too busy looking for them, Even as they snuck out the doors! Maybe they should invest in a better security system as well as fixing those lights at this point..

Although it was probably because they sacrificed Seven as bait. He was annoying. He didn’t need to come, And if he did he would probably be mauled by a wild bear before they even got near Fifteen's cabin.

They were skeptical, Of course they had to come up with an elaborate lie, Something to give Seven to convince him to do it, And somehow bring Three out without him knowing a full on interrogation was about to happen before everyone lost their shit. This was an utter catastrophe, and it wasn’t going to be light.

Eventually after everything had been settled somewhat, They snuck into the forest for the long journey. Of course, There were bickers about them being too loud or too quiet, Awkward small talk saying the very reason they were going there was to remove diabolical photos and other things.

“So.. Wanna talk about that-”

“Six, Shut up.”

Five was just about done with everyone’s shit, and He was ready to roll up his sleeves and feed someone a knuckle sandwich if they said anything.
Clearly, Six didn’t care since she was too busy giggling at how stupid the entire thing was.

The tension was practically unbearable- A Lot of unanswered questions were to be said in which they did not desire answering.

It was a long walk, Practically insufferable when you think of how many times Nine complained about their legs hurting or them being bored or literally anything else you can complain about in a dark forest.

Hopefully the rest of the adventure would be peaceful, right?

Hopefully.

Chapter Text

Hey!! Not a new chapter, But wanted to say something.

After I eventually finish up this fic, (After around hopefully 100 chapters) I'm making a part 2!

In idiot language, I'm throwing them into college in a separate fic after I finish this one. I'm hoping I can finish it while in my object show hyper fix but hell, Who knows??

Anyways, thanks for reading and commenting. It means a lot to me and it makes me so glad people enjoy what I write since I've always wanted to be a author, and even if it's ao3 of all places, You gotta start somewhere.

Have a good summer.

Chapter Text

During the hike of death, A lot of things came up. Usually it was just making fun of someone for something, [Basically everyone ganging up on Five and bullying her], But other things were to be asked. Like what happened, What was going on in those photos, Obvious things. They were unsure if they would even dare to pull up to the school after the entire fiasco at this point.

Five was focusing on how much it cost to leave, Move away, and enter a new private school at this point because she was sure her life was over now. Imagine getting pictures if you and your- Erm, “Best Friend” doing questionable things plastered all over the internet. It was dehumanizing. She could bury herself alive- But then the rest of her honor would be left to that.

Obviously, a few of them were way ahead, Above everyone else in the path of the dark gloomy forest. It was surprising and kinda suspicious how dark it was- Hell, The trees didn’t even have leaves in this place. The sun was out but it offered no light nor comfort to anyone. It looked like the start of a horror story.

Well, It probably was to them. Everything that went on during the entire day was being more catastrophe and more things to cry about, The panic and tension rising by the minute. It was so quiet you could hear every crunch of frozen grass as they walked. Every step closer they got to Fifteen’s cabin, The more it seemed like she was taking them to be murdered.

“Sheesh, Are we going to fix our chance at not working at McDonald's for the rest of our lives or are we going to a slaughterhouse?”
Sixteen spoke up, She really couldn't handle anything, Especially being an eyewitness to.. That. She wanted to lighten the mood.

“Might as well be.” Six was bored, The blog didn't exactly have much sort on herself so she didn't know why she even decided to come along. Probably just emotional support, She was aggressive, Sure, But the worst thing there was a stupid fight she got in once. It wasn't even bad– She won it anyways.

Of course, Five and Six had never seen eye to eye. The entire walk you could say- Even in the silence they were arguing. They were almost never in sync, But it was strangely peaceful when they were. Constant arguing, However? Couldn't exactly be called peaceful. The group was the opposite of peaceful, And it was initially decided they were going to be the chaotic gremlins to end the world one day, If they hadn't already.

“I'm so BORED!” Nine whined, She never could seem to shut up for more than 10 minutes. Oh, And math forbid she lost her skateboard, or her sunnies cracked. She would go bat shit crazy if anything happened– Or at least anything mildly interesting. Crazy for someone who got their entire group arrested in a house party with drugs, underaged drinking, and other crazy things, I know.

“PLEASE, SHUT THE FUC–”

“We're here.”

Fifteen interrupted at almost the perfect time, Turning back and giving them all the death glare as in her own language to hide in the bushes nearby as she swung open the door. She sighed, Looking back to make sure they weren’t following her and she stepped in.

“What do you think the inside of her cabin looks like?” Ten asked, It was probably the first time he had spoken for the entire time of the awkward trip. He was peeking over a rather large bush with the others, Trying to at least attempt to see what was going on.

“I dunno, Probably messy.”

“No, Surprisingly.” One said, As she almost seemed to teleport next to them. They all shrieked in unison and fell back like dominos onto the forest ground. Dirt that seemed to be recently disturbed stuck to their clothes and it was pretty annoying dusting themselves off.

“What brings you lot here?” Two said, Peeking out from behind her.

“I could ask the same thing.” Sixteen said. it was surprising they were following them the whole time enough. Now two people who were constantly at each other's throats and probably wanted each other dead were all buddy-buddy now?

“Oh, We're just here to visit our best pal Three!”

“We're not friends. He just promised me some money for something.”

The contrast in their answers were evident, The trio were completely polar opposites and somehow managed to be so positive the world would shatter if they broke up. Sometimes people would give them funny looks, But it was valid for the three only smart people here to be friends after all. They both worked with Fifteen to bail Three out multiple times, Including during the party.

Even though One said they were not friends, They very much were. They would smoke alone together in the back of the building of the school and talk for hours on end about their life and other things, During free times they would sit together and talk about things in a whisper tone so nobody could hear them– One had Surprisingly argued with her brother over something between Three and Four nobody knew much about, Just that it had heavily affected the two.

Some had even suspected they were dating or something of the sort, But every time someone brought it up they would both cringe and yell at whoever it was, And if they were lucky enough they would get a punch in the gut. So yeah, They very much were friends, Maybe best friends if they were lucky enough. One just didn't like hanging with low ranking peasants in her eyes, Though it was mostly influenced by her parents.

Two on the other hand, They had somehow bonded with Three over the utter one sided hatred Four had for them a while back for a reason they could not think of. They had been nothing but nice to the number! In another wild predicament, Four, Two, And X somehow found themselves together at every moment now. They would enter together, Leave together, And stay by each other's side no matter what. It's like for temporary moments, They would forget about the unreasonable arguments they had over FaceTime at 3am for no reason at all.

Two and One hated each other's guts, Something about One beating up their best friend? Nobody really knew nor dug on the situation except these three freshmen who also absolutely despised One. Almost everyone hated One, Except for the group of course, But if they weren't friends they would also definitely hate her. She had beat up multiple members and then used the excuse “Buisness is Buisness, I'm sorry!” in a sarcastic tone. She made it clear her contracts were more important to her than her friends and she made sure they knew that.

Eventually, Fifteen came out, Holding Three by his collar and looking like she was about to feed him a well deserved knuckle sandwich once more. He was whining about something unintelligible since they were quite far away, But by the way she picked him up and said something– They could tell he pissed her off big-time. She plopped him on the porch stairs of her cabin and walked over, Telling everyone to get out of the bushes since they looked like creepy stalker idiots.

Maybe everything will go well today.

Maybe.

Chapter Text

“DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU DID!” Five yelled, Her temper was lower than a sunken boat, And She sure as hell was about to release her wrath. She was almost as red as Three with how much she was yelling at him, And he was sure yelling back. They were just going back and forth with no end to it. The others watched unamused, This wasn’t a new concept.

“Delete the Blog, Three. Now.” Six sighed, They weren’t going to stick around to watch a bunch of idiots argue on end about a stupid tumblr blog. They wanted to go home and paint, Or something. They had homework too. If anything, They’d really be sleeping right now. Should’ve just stayed home with Nine at this point.

“Three, We’re friends right?”
Ten already knew it was far too late for him but what the hell, Might as well try while he could.

“One, I hate you all. Two, I don’t even run the damn thing!”

“What.” If all the numbers were ever in sync at any moment in time, It was now. They all said it in unison, With their own little shocked faces and surprised uneasy glances. It was hard to believe, Really. How did he not run it? All the photos she took were there. It didn’t add up. Well.. I smell an incoming interrogation. Have fun with that.

“Then who owns it?” One asked, Even if the entire thing wasn’t her buisness, She was still nosy as hell.

“I don’t know! I just take the photos and a stupid anonymous person pays me.”

‘’....’’

‘’I’m going to kill you.’’ Well.. Five never lies. Mostly.

Of course, As soon as Three heard that she knew it was serious. She grabbed Two and One and bolted to her best ability, Seeing as she didn't hold as much power as them to teleport. The two being dragged along got the memo and therefore teleported to one of their houses, Which? Who knows. They all basically hung out in the most random places imaginable.

“What was that for?” Two didn’t feel like being involved in an active murder.

“Three, I salute your stupidity.” One sighed, She knew she’d probably rock his shit eventually.

“Thank you, And I genuinely don’t know. It’s just photos..” Maybe they couldn’t understand due to their own actions not being involved, But it was still incredibly stupid.

“You DID leak someone, You know that could get legal right?”

“The police aren’t gonna care about some stupid photos..”

“I wouldn’t stand on that..”

What Three didn’t understand is while they weren’t exactly at fault, They were still gonna be manhunted.

— idk irl or sum shit

Six was unfortunately not lying. She stood in front of the large house which held 5 dumbasses and threw rocks at the 3rd floor windows, Eventually making a hole large enough to climb through and get in. It wasn’t the most practical but what the hell. At Least she didn’t use it to eat people. Sighing, she fell on her face and got up.

“Nine??”

Chapter Text

They gently opened the door..

Nine was fine, Or at least physically. They were crying into their pillow like an idiot WITH glasses on. Seriously who cries and wears sunglasses indoors dude. Six looked at them and threw an extra rock they held at their head, Making them sit up and try to see who threw a rock at them because apparently they couldn't notice when someone broke in.

“Ow– Bro! What was that for?”

“You were being dumb. WHY are you crying over glasses?”

“I'm not!”

Nine had a tendency of, well, Denying things that were evident. They were just crying. No wonder Five always called them a crybaby. Six sighed, Dragging them off their bed and away to go do something else. Not before raiding the fridge, Though. Their mom got the good chips. After stashing everything in their crappy backpack, They dragged Nine to the depressing staircase leading to the basement where they, As in the zeroes, were arguing.

“Can I record?”

“Sure bro.”

Six flinched at the fact it looked like something from a horror movie but eventually descended, Opening the creaky wooden door. Inside were the zeroes, Phone out while another 2 were fighting. Apparently they kept their word, Because it was a bloody and ghastly fight. Nine had no reaction, This was normal in the large household. They simply returned back up to be dragged away once again.

‘I’m bored.’ Nine complained, Better than whining upstairs over glasses though.

‘Whatever,’

They marched onto the road and walked a few blocks, But not without constant complaining. Eventually they reached a small convenience store, Same one as before– And simply stood on the curb talking about stupid things like how birds flew and why dogs barked. And for some reason the best way to hide a body, Strange.

The sound of a car stopping in front of them and dirty rain water splashed onto the sidewalk, A small gray truck. The passenger seat opened and outcame another one of their friends, Though barely. It was Eight.

“What are you guys up to?”

“Nothing, What’re you doing here?” Six replied.

Eight shrugged, Walking in and then out although holding a bottle of soda. He got back into the car with a figure they couldn’t make out, That started driving away after Eight waved.

Chapter Text

The classroom was relatively empty, Only a few older kids. The chatter of them and the teacher while they did their work was relatively loud, Before the teacher got a notification and clicked on it outside. Twenty-four seemed surprised, But not in a bad way. He nodded, coming back in and standing in front of the class. The pink number chuckled nervously, fixing his little bowtie and straightening up.

“Class, We're getting a few new foreign students.”

– Later.

“Dude, Did you guys hear?” Five said, The numbers were sitting in a singular table of the cafeteria.

“We're getting new students,”

“Oh yeah, They're from our class.” Fifteen said, in the middle of stuffing her face, with quite frankly, Expired looking spaghetti from the lunch lady.

Ten nodded, looking at her with a mix of concern and disgust. “Yeah, What about you guys?”

“Well, Unfortunately not. But it would be cool to invite them to the server if they're cool.” Five shrugged.

“We'll check if they're nice enough first, don't worry.”

– The next day.

Everyone was sitting in their seat, Sixteen was fumbling with a pill bottle under her desk while sweating, Fifteen was writing to someone, Ten was the only one paying attention, and Fourteen was eating a sheet of paper for some strange reason. There was a faint little knock on the classroom door and Twenty-four practically jumped up, opening it quickly. He talked with someone for a while before widening the gap.

“You all must be my new students! Come on in.” He waved them all in, motioning for them to go to the front.

The new students went to the front, three new people.
The first was a dark blue feminine presenting person. They had pigtails in the shape of 1s and a hoodie with a skirt. The second one was yellow-orangeish, with an outfit resembling something Nine or Seven would wear. The third one was about the same color as the 2nd one, except they had a long skirt and cardigan like Five.

“This is Eleven, Twelve, And Thirteen!”

Chapter Text

The new numbers had smoothly gotten along with the others, Joining clubs, Friend groups, All the works. They were all extremely unique in their own way, Sharing distant memories, Things about where they came from, Everything! Turns out Twelve and Thirteen were Irish twins, With Twelve being the elder sibling. Eleven could speak fluently of three other languages, English being their 2nd. It didn’t take long before the others sent them an invite to the group and planned out a meetup, Something to break the ice and solidify their friendship as they always would with a newbie.

– On the server.
Five: So, Are you guys up to meeting up?

11XO: Where :C

Sixer: I can bully nine into letting me use his basement 🔥

Eleven had oh so generously decided to pick them up, Being the only one with a license after all. She had her normal hairstyle, Except now she bared a hoodie and sweatpants. No use in dressing fancy now, Huh? She sighed, Checked the time on her phone before 12 and 13 got in. She didn't bother saying Hi back, Simply deciding to start driving. The twins bickered in the back the whole ride, Much to her dismay, But she didn’t feel enough to tell them to shut up.

When they finally arrived, A few cars were there they recognized from school. All three of them went up to the door and knocked, Eight answered.
“Everyone’s downstairs, Come on.”
They followed wordlessly, Descending the dark staircase and entering. The basement was messy, Mostly concrete, But had a rug in the middle and a bunch of bean bag chairs surrounding it. Twelve and Thirteen sat together and Eleven sat on the floor by them, Everyone was here.

Nine had told their parents they would have a few friends over, Not around 20- But whatever, They were used to so many people in their house by now. What they didn’t like was trusting Nine after the previous incident. They had been fined and what-not, So obviously they hid the alcohol and kept a close watch.
This failed because after Nine’s parents went to bed at around 10, The hangout went from chilling and talking about school to something wild.

Six looked around before bribing one of the Zeroes to bring them the beer for homework, And well.. The zeroes are not the brightest. So they obliged. Sighh, Being smart was amazing, No wonder Five was always so nerdy, Save for when she was a total bitch and whining in their ears about veganism and other things Six didn’t have the energy to care about, Really.

“So, Bros, What should we do!”

“Summon a demon.”

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

How did we get here?

Everyone except Fourteen, X, And Sixteen were participating in the activity, Chanting random spells they found on social apps. Sixteen was too scared to join because they’re a wuss and so is X. X preferred other things like baking, Why did him and Four even come along? They had no clue, Probably plot armor or something. They just sat in the corner and waited. Fourteen didn’t join because apparently they were too busy biting their arm– Such a specimen, Sigh.

“Dude, Why is nothing happening?” Nine asked.

“Maybe because you’re doing the wrong thing.” Five rolled their eyes.

It was pretty chaotic, The Zeroes were wondering who the hell was summoning Demons upstairs and the ones in the basement were wondering why no Demons were appearing in the basement. Eventually giving up on that idea while the Zeroes were fighting for their very lives, Nine decided to throw a bunch of dumb party game ideas into their hat on tiny pieces of cut paper and shake it, Taking one out.

“Okay, Dudes and dudettes. You guys up for closets?”

“Nine, what the hell does that mean?”

“Ok so you go into a closet with someone–”

“Nevermind, I forgot you're a dumbass.”

As Six and Nine argued the others locked eyes, Everyone knew if they agreed it would be detrimental, Fun, Sure, But traumatizing. Seven minutes in heaven never ended good– And with the pick? It was more so seven minutes in hell. At this point though, Everyone was at least two bottles in, So.. It would be horrid, But nobody objected due to thinking it was hilarious and not thinking about the consequences.

After everything had settled, Everyone got in a circle and Eight spun a bottle.

The first to go were Fifteen and Ten, Nothing interesting happened. They kind of just stared at each other awkwardly. Afterwards, It was Five and Nine. They were already good friends so all they really did in there was talk about books and other uninteresting things. Then Nine was again, Except with Fifteen. It was kinda awkward, Nine was all sweaty and Fifteen just stared down at them with a mean look and her arms crossed.

Then Thirteen and Two were up. They started talking about random shows, Salads for some strange reason, And their mutual hatred for Math. Fun times, It was.

Once again in the circle, Haha! The next two pairs were Six and Nine. For reasons totally randomized and not comedic as well as fan service, My source is to trust me. Please. I'm desperate.

After being shoved in the locked closet, They sort of stared at each other in the eyes like 2 really annoying bugs under your stove. For some reason, These creatures tend to do that. I don't know why. Six contemplated strangling Nine with a coat hanger, Yes, But didn't go through with it because they didn't need another charge on their name.

They kind of just.. stared. Unblinking. And then got kicked out for another turn!

A few more went, Five and Seven were picked but everyone in that circle including themselves didn't want them to go in– Five because they were mad at Seven for eating their sandwich earlier without permission, And everyone else because they didn't wanna see them get freaky in a closet. How boring.

X insisted on something new, Movies! At Least for the meantime. Everyone was getting decently bored with the same thing over and over again, And being drunk as hell, They wanted more fun, More spice in their barren lives! If you can at least call them barren, Huh?

They all sat in a strange line, Eight went to go order pizza upstairs and somehow avoid the adults in the building, And The zeroes snuck down despite Nine insisting they stood up. For some strange reason, They bought a bunch of video tapes with their old TV. Zro insisted they wouldn't, But they didn't listen. All they did was send the tapes down and run back up giggling their annoying little asses off.

Of course, Six and Five got into an argument about watching it but initially decided on it somehow– The power of pride month, I guess.

Huddling up for the horror movie, It wasn't really that bad, Just some really weird statue guy with a chainsaw and some idiotic teenagers messing with it in a graveyard. Seriously,Who does that? People in horror movies are so stupid. And that's exactly what Five said, Talking their head off about it. It was annoying, The AC made the basement too cold, Fourteen was slowly inching closer to Ten despite them inching farther away and Six and Five wouldn't shut up. Seven was like, Asleep in the corner and the rest of them were talking about school rumors and whatnot.

That's when there was a bang upstairs and Eight shouted.

Chapter Text

“Um.”

“I’m going to get my ass beat, Bro.”

Nine sprinted upstairs from their previous position of leaning against six with their arm around their shoulder and went to sneakily check what the HELL Eight was possibly doing, Eight was never loud. They laughed like how a dry texter sounds and would say “Yoohoo.” In lowercase. They would sigh like they were mourning something important while doing the most fun thing known to man, Either the alcohol got to them or they were actively dying because this was not like him at all.

They stopped dead in their tracks, Shit.

“Nine Integer, What the HELL is going on.”

The voice of their caretaker, Their loving, Kinda scary, Walking seizure warning parent. Nine sighed, This was defeat. Absolute death, They were cooked, Fried even. Six recognized that voice and told everyone to shut up, Rushing some of them behind the tv stand, Some of them in the quiet squeezed closet, And some of them even in the little hole in the wall. Holy shit, This was dumb. But they were also, Illegally drunk teenagers in someone else's house so..

Six ran up and tried to look the most sober they could, But the smell of weed and alcohol was still there. They slapped on their most award winning smile, And tried to act like they were totally innocent. It was so late, Why was Nine’s mom even up? Eight was there sweating like they just got caught feeding a dog candy as a 3 year old and tweaking out, Yeah they were totally busted.

“What are you doing in the basement?” She looked angry as hell, And probably about to ground them for infinity and beyond.

“I was.. Just.. Hanging out bro!” Nine tried to plead their case, But it was fast failing.

“What did I tell you about calling me bro.” [ Ts just projection 🥀]

Nine’s mom was.. Well, Rainbow, Tall, And kinda looked like her name was Karen. Her daily schedule included diet smoothies, Running, And yoga pants. She looked like the type of woman to complain on facebook about the color your house was, And oh she was. Despite being the walking embodiment of a rainbow, Too many bright colors annoyed her for some strange reason. And I mean, Her child was also the embodiment of a rainbow but in a different way if you catch my drift.

Inside the basement, However? Beer cans scattered, Eight somehow managed to build a giant fort out of boxes and Eleven punched a wall. Yeah, Why did she even do that? These guys are idiots.
“I'm going down there.”

“WAIT—”

“Move.” And when she said move, She meant it. It was one of those death glares that just said you would get your ass whooped if you didn't listen. Nine could've sworn every step on the creaky wooden basement floors sounded like death coming closer.

And then?

“...”

“You have 10 seconds to run, And get your friends out too.”

Chapter Text

Well, How'd we get here? Anyhow, Nine was sweating balls because obviously he was cooked, And also because the last time he did something illegal her mom threatened to call the police. Something about teaching lessons? Yeah no, It just sounded like a sad Reddit story over a cake making video on YouTube shorts. Obviously Nine ran, Six simply latched onto her too lazy to run herself and left everyone else out to die. Yeah, Very faint warning and lesbians on the run! Nice chapter I know.

Five, Two, Four, And X were behind the closet excluding the people IN the closet, And the rest of them were in the walls due to poor placement, So they did the best thing they could.

Five jumped out, Fixed his skirt and put on that usual nerdy smile.

“You must be Ms infinity… !”

“Get out my house.”

“Aw..”

Comically, Two jumped into Five's arms holding X and they all ran with Four because they were drunk and high as fuck and Nine's house was strangely far from everyone else's house. They decided, Yeah if we go home like this we're all dying so they simply decided to keep walking? On the sidewalk? Still carrying Eachother? I'm going off my dream, Man leave me alone.

“This is stupid.” Four pouted,

“I mean It's fun!” X replied, The sunny ball of joy seemed to never frown.

“I agree, Friend!”

“Two, Shut up.”

“You guys are breaking my back.” Five breathed out, Collapsing into the ground. They looked like they were a cartoon character that was recently stepped on by a shoe that left imprints into the splatter mark.

Meanwhile with the wall buddies!

Seven was sweating bullets, He kept scratching his head and arms and coughing. He was turning red and TWEAKing. He was smoking weed with Nine and decided going into walls with mold was smart. Eleven couldn’t be better, Her and sixteen were talking about going to the mall together on the weekend for shopping at Hot Topic and some new movie that just came out, Dumb stuff they SHOULD be concerned about at this age, Not police.

Ten was trying to Social distance from Fourteen like it was 2020 and He was coughing like a mad man in public with no mask and a little too much sneezing, Good lord. But it’s pretty hard to move when you're in a tight space barely a few feet wide. His nose was touching the wall and so was his back, He was basically trapped and so were the others. Fourteen was kinda just there, He only drank around 2 cans but he was still fairly tipsy. Fifteen had already punched her way out and left, So Thirteen and Twelve followed her and she let them because they were “Not annoying her that bad.” .

Honestly the others were betting on the chance of a threesome, But I didn’t tell you that.

Speaking of the three, Let’s switch to them because it’s 3:07 AM and I don't know what else to do. Fifteen’s boots were crunching in the dead leaves of the sad evil forest she lived in. Twelve and Thirteen were bickering behind her but she mostly just found it funny. What she was worried about was when she swung the heavy wooden door of her messy dark cabin open, Three still wasn’t there.

“.. Where is that idiot,’’ She mumbled under her breath.

Achievement: How did we get here?

Wait no I already started like that
Anyway

It's been a good minute since the last update on these idiots, And when I spawn into the magical skybox in my head that wields these balls of destruction, The wall buddies are finally running out. For some reason, they decided to wait? Who knows, these guys are kinda dumb. Anyway, Seven only had a white shirt on, So he was dead, Eleven had a jacket thankfully, And everyone else was basically freezing.

“You geniuses didn't think to bring anything?” She scoffed, being the only one smart enough to solve kindergarten math equations.

“Where are we even going to go?” Ten interrupted, despite being one of the ones with only a shirt on this freezing night.

“I dunno, The forest? Everyone else dipped. And– Holy shit is that Five.” She stopped dead in her tracks looking forward.

Right ahead of them, Two was panicking on their phone, Four was staring in disbelief with X, And Five?

Five were on the road. Was she alive? I don't know, let's flip a coin!

Chapter Text

“NOO THE HUZZ!!”

“Seven, SHUT UP.” Sixteen screamed, her jaw dropping in fear of what was to come.

“I.. The cops are on their way, I don't know what happened! We were just walking to the hotel my parents own and it came so fast and–”

“Two, Calm down. We can figure this out!”

“Ten, Stop lying.”

“Okay.”

Four just kinda stared, I mean he wasn't really friends with Five or anything but it was a horrid sight. She was pretty badly scratched up, Her leg was bent in a way legs probably shouldn't bend, And she looked pretty dead. Everyone just kinda stared for a while, Sixteen was talking to the cops who were in the way with Two, and well? A bunch of underaged drunk idiots didn't brew well with the law.

The cops soon arrived, eyeing them, and then loading Five into an ambulance. The rest of them were escorted in police cars.

“Is this a good decision?”
“Definitely not.”

Those words stuck with them all, They were failing at everything. I mean, grades, and well? Life. They weren't exactly living it up at the moment. After all being investigated in the police station, Their parents were called, Who all had the idea of them just staying for an innocent sleepover. So yeah, a lot of their parents were pissed– Some of them were staying to file cases and other things. Thankfully they didn't snitch on the ones that escaped, But Nine was probably done for.

Speaking of, Nine was on a bench in the park with Six. The only thing he had was his phone, a bag, And cigarettes.

“What are you gonna do?”

“I don't know man, My mom said if I did this again she would kick me out.”

“Isn't that like.. illegal? We're in high school.”

“She doesn't care, and I'm pretty sure neither do the cops in this town.”

They sat there for a while, shivering and smoking. By now it was 5 in the morning, They hadn't slept and by now they were definitely sober. Nine mindlessly kicked their skate board back and forth while sitting and Six was on their phone playing block blast to pass the time. Sixe's parents didn't like Nine, They liked their reputation and money. That's why Four was a tutor, He had a scholarship and a future. That's why One had money, Business, And the heir of their empire. That's why Six spent all her time at Nine’s place because painting wasn't a future. They were both messed up, And if this got out? They would both probably be on the streets. She felt bad she couldn't help her best friend, yes, but there wasn't much she could do either.

“What do you think the others are doing right now?”

“Uhh, Probably like in the forest sacrificing someone bro.”

“Realistic enough for them.”

Chapter Text

It was around 8 AM, School was called off due to early season snow and other various reasons. Surprisingly, they didn't throw them all laptops and tell them to log in. They only said to come in the next day for extra work to make up. Everyone was unsurprisingly at the hospital, Mostly passed out in seats or on their phone. Nobody had barely gotten any sleep, and they all had horrible hangovers. Five looked terrible, To be honest. If you asked anyone, they would agree. She had darker purple bruising on her already purple skin and a broken leg, And a bunch of wires on her too. It was bad. Thankfully, she wasn't dead or anything. It hurt to talk, though.

A few of them had to leave eventually, It was cold, Five were stable, and they would check later, They promised. Two, Six, Seven, And Nine stood— Two because they were heavily concerned, Six because she needed to make sure the class nerd was alive to copy answers, [In reality she just really cared], And Seven, Even though he pleaded the “HUZZ” thing was a joke. Nobody believed him. Nine stood because Five was his friend and they didn't have anywhere else to go, And it was snowing, No thanks! The hospital room was on the 3rd floor and surprisingly had heating so that was a plus.

“How did this even happen? How dumb are you guys?” Six leaned back and winced at the utter idiotic actions.

“Well it went something like Five was carrying Four who was carrying X and X was carrying me, And then we were crossing the road but being really slow so none of us fell and then a car was speeding towards us, I'm guessing they were late for work saying it was that early? Anyway, Five threw Four who kept carrying X and X was carrying me but I got dropped because it was too much and then Five got hit.”

Six stared at Two for around 30 seconds. She then muttered only a singular word.

“WHY??”

“I DON'T KNOW!” By then, Two was utterly hysterical. Ugly sobbing, Snot and all. Six only could stare in confusion, as the others joined in the staring.

“Math, You all suck.” Five were on the verge of death, but were able to whisper an insulting blow to those who stayed. True hate. ♥

Chapter Text

It was a snowy day, Nobody wanted to waste it right? I got bored, So let's show some love to the people who run the school!

When Sixty Three woke up, Her first instinct was to check the time. As she opened her phone on the nightstand, she saw it. 5 missed alarms, An email, And a fat “12:00 PM” on her screen. She jolted awake, checking it immediately. The sigh she let out of relief was long, Thankfully she wasn't fired. It was saying she had a day off work, And no tests to grade either. It was all handled. It was strange, This wasn't how it usually worked but whatever. The woman decided to use this day properly. She opened her computer, which was scattered across the room due to her passing out on her desk at 3 in the morning, and opened it to finish some things.

After filing some paperwork, she opened her phone once more and texted someone, A contact named “SPAM DO NOT TOUCH OR I WILL SHRED YOU. 💗”.

“Are you available?”

“Yeah.”

“Meet at the coffee shop downtown?”

“Hell yeah. I'll be there.”

Sixty Three stood in front of the mirror for a good hour, adjusting her outfit, hair, and makeup. Was her lipstick smudged? Was it all too much? Did she look funny? Was her outfit weird? She sighed, putting on her snow boots and coat. It was absolutely freezing outside after she grabbed her car keys and ran out. Sitting in the front seat, She checked her phone. 7, Perfect. She began the short drive in her town, making her way down south and paying the lot to park on the side of the street for a few hours. It was late anyways, And if it went to plan she'd be at her house by then.

She didn't take long to rush to her seat, putting her coat under her and sitting and waiting. Now? It was time to make sure she looked her best and was her best, She could not fail this at any cost. She absolutely had to nail this, Her stomach was twisting with nervousness and excitement at the same time, Pure anticipation waiting. A short man, dressed in a bright hot pink tuxedo entered. He was hard to miss, immediately catching Sixty Three eyes and rushing over to sit down before anyone else saw him

The small man sighed deeply as he sat down, fixing his shirt and smiling rather pathetically. It was so cute in Sixty Three’s eyes. She loved the way he always got so nervous, his hands shaking a little as he tried to mumble a greeting. She put her hand on top of his and giggled politely, Not mockingly but in a way that just warmed his heart a little and made him laugh along– Dear math he was pathetic.

“I'm sorry for being late,” Twenty-four muttered

“No, No, It's fine. I'm sorry for being early. The snow was horrible.”

He smiled, nodding as the waiter approached, eyeing them suspiciously. At first they were hesitant but giggled when they caught her laughing about how silly they were to another waiter. For a while, they just talked slowly and looked into each other's eyes with the love of an apple pie fresh out of the oven. They're old, let me say this. They talked about their own lives, Teacher plans, Class charts— Hell they even talked about that one incident in the bathroom and laughed about it. They both had their own problems with their students, but it was funny when they weren't dealing with it in real time.

Eventually, It hit 10. They hadn't even realized how long they'd been here, 4 refills in and the waiter had already taken their plates.

“My place?”

“Hell yeah.”

They both packed up and left a hefty tip, appropriate for having to deal with these dimwits for 3 hours. They quickly ran to their cars, Following each other to Sixty Three's house and continued on their dullly mind numbing idiocy.

Chapter Text

Fifteen sat in the police station, leaned back in a strange chair and talked to an officer about Three’s disappearance. It had been a few days, Threw hadn't come home one night. A few of them were acting strange around her but she didn't suspect anything because she was normal to it, Everyone was weird around her because she was a loner and hated everyone, She was the type to tell you to fuck off if you went to go talk to her and the type to even threaten a fight. Hell, She'd fought before– She kept her word and she won every one.

The officer's gaze barely left her face, The scars on her scattered around and painted a scene of a potential criminal in his eyes, But in reality? She was just the type to get bored and go outside to wrestle a bear for dinner. He had asked about their parents, Custody, and where she had lived. She answered them reluctantly. She didn't trust the justice system much after what had happened when they were little kids and was the very reason her and Three lived alone these days. Nobody had even asked where Three was or what happened after the incident, She went through his fucking phone. It wasn't him– She told them, but nobody believed her because “They had proof,” which was just the photos themselves. Three didn't even have the damn app on her phone.

Three just left for school and never arrived. Something about needing to help Four with something and then never coming back. Four was acting strange, Flinching whenever someone even said Three, As the number. Not the person. Fifteen told the officers this but they had nothing for Four, Just him being the last one who saw Three. They had called him in but found nothing, And even if they did their mother would probably pay them to shut up and pretend it was a runaway or something. Fifteen was tempted to call the people who created them, She refused to call them her parents. She wanted to see if they knew, if they were aware of what happened to their child. Probably not. She was stressed, and doing bad. She isolated herself, She was already quiet, Yes, But she stopped leaving her house as total. She left everyone on seen and whenever someone stopped by she just said “LEAVE ME ALONE!” and left them at the door.

After the other night, she was doing rough. Really, it was taking a toll on her. No wonder she had to bury herself in alcohol and sleep, Otherwise she'd think about him. It was her job, Her responsibility to make sure Three was okay, And she even failed that. She had nothing else, just a job at some dingy place and a cabin she owned in the Evil forest. She was tempted to do something she'd regret, but what if Three came back? So many things ran through her mind that she couldn't solve and only made her spiral into depression more. She was mean, she was blunt, and she was rude. Was that why Three left? Was she the reason? Was her being mean too harsh on her? It was all her fault, wasn't it? She sighed, deciding to push it all to the back of her mind and wait for it all to blow over like she always did.

In the newbie GC:

Twelve: nah

Thirteen 𝝑𝑒: oh I want u dead so bad

Twelve: lyt

E11vn: u guys r insane dude
DONT run to me with a random ass baby from the street

So about that. Transition to the Hospital Hallway.

Seven was sitting in a cold blue plastic hospital chair by Five's bed after Pi had left from his daily visit, Only merely consisting of calling Five fat for 30 minutes straight to torment her. She was now ready to leave by the next day, but the doctors insisted on staying for one more day for just a few checks. Five sighed, sitting up from the hospital bed and staring at the floor. She picked up her phone, checking the time and flopping back down.

“I'll visit you tomorrow, Just go home dude.”

“You sure?”

“Yeah.”

Seven got up, knocking the chair over and then quickly picking it back up before running out like an absent dad runs from child support. Entering the hallway, He quickly tripped on something he didn't see, Falling flat on his face. Getting up and shaking himself like a wet dog, When he looked down in confusion — He was greeted by a tiny small creature. The little ball thing stared at him, It's big puppy eyes taking around 40% of its body. It looked strange, like a little circle with limbs.

“What.”

It crawled up his leg, onto his arm, and into his hair making him jump up and move frantically, jumping up and down and trying to catch the small thing. He heard it giggle and if you asked, he could have sworn he felt his soul leave his body. Finally being able to get it out, He picked it up by a singular leg like a sad spider and stared at it. It stared back, blinked twice, and then jumped onto his face. He started screaming again, flailing around until it crawled on top of his head and sat there unmoving. Seven forgot his medication — That had to be it. What the hell was going on?

He picked it up once more, stared at it again, stuffed it in his pocket and bolted. Yeah, He was definitely gonna tell Five about this later.

Chapter Text

Six sighed, staring at the ground and then her bed. Nine snuck in through the window after Six got tired of watching her sleep on the sidewalk for a few days. She knew her mom would absolutely cook her ass if she found out but she didn't care. She couldn't find the energy to wake nine up so she just made sure they were covered and not cold, A faint smile appearing on her face. Leaving her room and locking the door, Six made her way down the stairs. Her mom was making calls and panicking about the disappearance of One and Three, Blaming Fifteen for the entire thing even though she had no involvement.

Six snuck out the front door, The cold air immediately blasting her face. Shit, She forgot a jacket. Whatever. The only things she was wearing at the moment were stained with paint jeans and a turtle neck. She started her long adventurous journey down the street, stopping at the corner store and throwing 5 bucks at the small man at the counter before running out with a bag of chips and a soda. Then, she continued her way down, before stopping at a small gray square covered by the other luxurious buildings in their dumb fancy gated neighborhood for dumb fancy gated people.

She knocked on the door, a pink woman answering.

“Pi don't tell me you sacrificed another cow— Oh, Six! Come right in!”

Six had the urge to ask what the HELL did she mean by another, But didn't feel like pushing it. She waved, walking in like she lived there and stormed up the stairs. Concern washed over her as she noticed one door was completely normal and the other was just… gone. And not disappeared, No. The door was there— But half of it was broken off and it was covered in a mysterious substance she didn't wanna think about. She went to the normal door, opened it like it was her own room and flopped on the purple bed in the corner.

“Six, You really need to start knocking dude.” Five slapped her forehead, rolling the wheely chair from her vanity next to the bed and leaning over to steal some chips.

“Cool cast,” Six sarcastically snickered. It was big and dumb and looked cheap.

“Also. What the hell is with that door?”

“I think Pi tried to turn his room into an evil computer lab to kill that one kid again.” She sighed, speaking like it was an average Tuesday.

“And the cow?”

“He did a ritual to swap their souls.” Oh.. concerning. But okay.

A short pause.

“How's Nine?” Five asked.

“He was asleep in my room when I left, I just locked the door and hoped my mom didn't suddenly remember I existed.”

“Have you guys considered calling the police or something?”

She sighed, “Well SQ is planning on moving to her dorm for uni soon enough, So I'll probably clean up the guest room for her or something.”

“That'd be amazing. How's your leg?”

“Painful.”

“If you want, Call Nine and Seven. I don't care if you guys stay the night.”

“Sure.” Six said, Closing the current app she was on and texting them while actively sitting up.
