'E56'

I've not just lost track of time... I think I'm lost too. I tried tracing my steps back to the room where I 'spawned', to haggle some more with whoever was behind those speaker's from earlier. But it felt like I was just walking in circle's.

'what if these... Are all illusions? But I don't think so, because I've bumped into people twice... And it felt real'.

"Hi" I heard from behind

I didn't think that the owner of the voice would be talking to me, I mean... Who talks to strangers.

I took I quick glance behind me, and saw a girl. She was tall, with a low cut hair which was sprayed white. Cute brown eyes, and probably a year older than me... Just a guess.

She had really good looks, and was beaming a smile at me. I was surprised and pointed myself to her... just to be sure, and she nodded.

"You're the new guy, right?" She asked

"I think so..." I replied, rubbing my neck awkwardly. "But... How did you know?" I stared at her suspiciously.

*giggles*

"You're funny... Come, let's go meet the others" she immediately grabbed my wrist... Which made my heart skip, and dragged me along while running towards a wall.

Yeah... A wall.

The moment we got close enough, a part of the wall slid to side, revealing a small compartment... No, not a compartment, I think... I think it's an elevator!!?.

I started to have mixed feelings for this 'place', this place is so advanced, that I don't think it was built after 'the Armageddon', which is impossible due to the 'unknown'. Unless it was built long time before 'the Armageddon'. But why?.

I got dragged into the elevator, which had multiple buttons by side. She tapped at one in the middle area and the ride began.

She didn't let go off my hands and I was starting to feel my hormones reacting. I haven't met an opposite gender for the past six month... So it was absolutely normal.

I glanced at her to get a better overview, and saw she was putting on a pink sleeveless top with blue shorts which was hidden by the white shirt she tied around her waist.

She was looking dazzling and had the right proportion for each places. She glanced at me with a cute smile and our eyes were locked for what seemed like eternity... which actually lasted for two seconds because... I broke the gaze, and quickly slipped my hands into my pants side pocket.

Yeah. My little bro just woke up after a 'six month' slumber, so I wrestled with it to keep it under wraps before the 'angel' beside me takes notice.

"So... What's your name?" I asked... As a cover up for my awkward situation.

"E56" she replied with a smile.

"Huh...?" I felt confused at first, before I glanced at my left wrist with the tattoo 'F101', and suddenly felt chills run down my spine.

"Wait... Are these... Our names?" I asked pointing at the 'tatoo' on my left wrist. And she nodded with smile.

"You still have a lot to learn, when u get to your dorm, you're probably going to see a manual booklet, and in it... will be the answers to all your questions" she said with sigh.

Many people who heard what she just said now would think that she was sympathetic... But not me. I noticed the indifference in her voice, it felt like she didn't give a f*ck about the rules. And that made me start to feel wary towards her.

Then finally... 'ding', we arrived at our destination. The minute ride that felt like hours has finally come to an end.

Still grabbing my wrist, she ran along the hallway as greetings were thrown at her from all directions which she countered tactfully, and as for me, who was dragged along... I didn't like the attention I was getting a bit, because it seemed like 'E56'... Is the campus 'belle'.

And everyone I've seen so far in this corridor, were all teens, just like me and 'E56'.

"Where are... you taking me!?" I said amidst breaths.

Yeah I was spent... From getting dragged around like a...

"To the cafeteria, It's lunch time" she replied with obvious excitement in her voice. "Lucky you" she said with a mischievous smile.

"Why lucky me?" I asked, starting to sweat all over.

"You'll see..." She replied and quickly ran into an open slide door by the side.

And what came into my view was 'hundreds' of teens, eating, jesting, laughing. I wanted to pause my steps to take in the sight, but 'E56' didn't let me and quickly dragged me to a table at the center and quickly alighted it.

By then, everyone was silent and were staring at me. I was starting to feel goosebumps when 'E56' lifted my left hand like a pirate Captain on the deck of his ship and said loudly.

"WELCOME OUR NEWEST MEMBER 'F101'... TO THE UNDERWORLD!!!".

*Cheers*

*Cheers*

*Cheers*.
