Chapter 2 - Bored again

'Where am I?'

"Hey, we need to start working!" said Caleb while grabbing my arm. 

"A-alright."

I went to the booth and started working. I don't know how but in a blink of an eye half a day past and it was lunch time. While still thinking about where I am, I followed Caleb to the cafeteria. From what I observed not much seemed different from the place I live. We speak the same language, look the same and everything else is the same. The only strange thing is the name of this park. I tried asking Caleb which country where in be he said 'stop joking and get to work'. After looking up which country I was in ionly got strange names of countries I've never heard of before. 'This really doesn't seem to be my world, but I'm kind of excited.'

"Look Elliot they have spaghetti today"

"You're such a foodie Caleb"

"You're one to talk Ryan"

"Shut up Nathan"

"Ha ha ha"

While everybody was talking and taking there seats at the round table, I quietly sat down and looked at my food while listening to there chatter.

"Did you hear about the ghost in the Night Watch"

"What ghost? You listen to much to rumors."

"No, no. It's true heard about it too."

"Apparently if a guy secretly goes whit his mistress to this roller coaster they will never come out of it." 

"What?! Really?!"

"Don't be so gullible aria. It's just a story that people made up about a couple that was tired of waiting when the attraction fell still and left trough the emergency exit. The only reason why it became so widely known was because the roller coaster ride is in the dark so they thought they went missing when they suddenly disappeared. It happened years ago, why are people still spreading rumors?"

"Tsk, you're such a killjoy Nathan."

"Shut up Ryan!"

"Ha ha ha"

"Oh, it's time to start working again. Let's go"

'sigh, I hoped there where real ghost's in this world.' I thought.

That evening at eight o'clock 

"Finallyyyyyy, my shift is done!"

"Ha ha ha, your so dramatic Ryan"

"aren't you tired Caleb?"

"Yes, but..."

"And you Elliot?"

"No, not really."

'It's not harder then working at the butcher where I work every weekend'

"That's only because you've been working here for only three days. Wait till you've been here more then a month then you'll be just like me. Wait and see!"

The park had closed but of our little group of five only we three where finished working. The others still had to clean up or work at the hotel and restaurants.

After we finished our shift we left to go home or at least I assumed. Because I didn't know anything about this world I just followed Ryan and Caleb . We walked to a big building that looked kind of like a hotel. 'Where not going home?' We went inside and Caleb and Ryan both went into a separated corridor. 

'What now? Where should I go?' I Looked at the multiple corridors and began to contemplate, but then Caleb interrupted me.

"What er you doing? Our room is this way."

"Right, sorry. I was lost in thought."

"You ok? you've been quite distracted today."

"Yes, i'm fine. I must have been tired, nothing to worry about"

"Oh, no problem. I was just a bit worried that's all."

I followed Caleb into a small room. The room was dark, it had one window, two loft beds with a bureau underneath each, one closet and a small bathroom. It didn't look old but it didn't look new either. The walls where painted sloppily and the beds looked like they couldn't hold more then one person. You couldn't call it a nice room.

Caleb went inside and immediately fell asleep on his bed. While Caleb slept I stared at the room. 'Is this where i'm going to stay from now on?' It didn't take long before Caleb began to snore loudly. 

"sigh"

After sighing I went to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror. My reflection was just like I remembered. Burgundy eyes with pitch black hair. The only difference was the obnoxiously red uniform. I washed my face and got ready to go to bed.

While lying in bed I thought. 'Maybe this is all just a dream and I'll wake up to my boring life again tomorrow' but I had my doubts. This was all too vivid. But that didn't matter, I kind of hoped this was all real, I thought that maybe my boring days will end.

And just like that a few days past. This didn't seem to be a dream, I didn't wake up back in my own world after these past few days. But then what is happening? After observing for a few days I didn't figure out anything more about this world. The days where monotonous but I did realize one thing.

I'm bored again!
