Better Than Ever

chapter 10 : it's not that bad

"I knew it." Elena said.

"FOR NOW, STAY AT YOUR PLACE. WE WILL BE SENDING YOU THE BEDS FOR YOU TO SLEEP ON AND WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME CLOTHES. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FOODS AND DRINKS BECAUSE WE WILL GIVE THEM TO YOU LATER. THAT'S ALL FOR TODAY. REST AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT GOING OUR OF YOUR CHECKPOINT. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED."

"You have been warned." Javier mimicked the voice and all of us laughed.

"So, I guess we are going to sleep together." I told them. They nodded. "We're lucky though." I added.

"Why is that?" Noah asked. He looked more comfortable with us now.

"Well, look around." I told them. "This library is clean, enough space for us to sleep, eat and there's a toilet here so basically, we have an advantage. We can also lock the door from inside." I paused.

"Why should we lock it? How can they send us the things mentioned before if we lock the door?" Ander asked me. Others nodded.

"Well,we locked it after they send us the things, silly." I explained."I also think that, it's not going to be that easy. The voice said that 'you have been warned', remember?" I paused.

"Yeah???" Sofia, Elena and Javier said in unison.

"Well, something might happen, so we should prepare ourselves for it. The necklace." I grabbed my necklace. "Those who failed the first game might be the ones who will try to get it." I finished.

"Better safe than sorry."  Noah saved.

"That's true though." Ander said, agreed with us.

"Yeah. It's better to lock it once they send us the things." Noah responded.

Then, those in all black outfits came in with the beds, clothes and foods.

They put it all in front of the counter and left.

We all walked closer to the counter. Javier immediately locked the door.

"Wow. Look at them, look so delicious." Javier said as he looked at the foods.

"Control yourself, Javier." I told him. "This is for all of us, remember?" I stated and he nodded.

"Noah, help me to put all of these there." He nodded. We began to put all of it on the table on the right side of the library where there's a mattress on the floor.

"Well look." Sofia said. "They're six beds. A pile of clothes with our name on it." She then looked up. "Of course they know, look." She pointed at the CCTV.

We all looked at it.

"I suggest you both to not have sex here." Sofia said to Javier and Elena.

"We won't, Sofia." Elena confirmed. "We are very careful with those things. Am I right babe?" She asked Javier.

"Yeah, baby. We know the limits so y'all don't have to worry." Javier told us.

"So, everyone take one bed each and choose where you wanna sleep. The clothes included." Ander told us.

"We're going to sleep there."Elena pointed at the left side of the library behind the bookshelf. "Let's go, babe." She told Javier. Javier volunteered himself to bring their beds and Elena bring their clothes.

"I'm going to sleep between the bookshelf." Sofia pointed at the middle of the library.

"Ummm. I'm going there too but between the bookshelf next to her." Noah said. They both walked away.

"It's just us now. So, where are we going to sleep?" Ander said to me.

"We?" I asked him. He nodded. "I'm sleeping alone." Then, I walked to the the corner of the right side of the library. The lighting is quite decent and it's clean.

I brought my bed there first and they returned to get my clothes.

Once I got back from the counter, I noticed that there's another bed beside mine.

"You gotta kidding me." I proceed to put my clothes next to my bed. "Im gonna have nightmare."

"Nope, I like it here." Ander said as he came back and stood behind me.

"Whatever." I told him and I started to arrange my things. He chuckled and did the same.

It's only 2:23 p. m. and I sat on my bed not knowing what to do. Ander lay on his bed and scrolled through his phone.

"Ander." I called him.

"Mmhmm." He looked at me.

"Do you snore? I mean, I'm going to kill you if you do." I told him truthfully.

He laughed. "I'm not, Eddie but I'm very cuddly
when I sleep." He replied.

My eyes widened. "Don't even try." I warned.

"I'll try. No promises." He said as I rolled my eyes. He laughed.

This week is gonna be so fun. I can tell.
