Part 5: Chain

22 POV:

It was afternoon and I was casually playing football in the field near my house until I see Eleven coming to me, looking worried.

Me: What happened, Eleven?

Eleven: Can't you see? I lost my sport shoes!

I look down at her legs.

Me: My! Um... Do you need help?

Eleven: Fine. But hurry! I want my shoes back!

Me: Okay! On it.

We start looking for her shoes until I find it with a hungry Squarey.

Me: Squarey! No! This is not food!

Squarey: GRRRRR.... RUFF!

Four: *comes to Squarey* Oh no! Squarey? Put that down!

Squarey: *whines*

Squarey drops the shoes and I carry it. Yuck! I have to wash it before giving it to Eleven. She is NOT going to be happy! I take the shoes and wash it off. As I start drying it, Eleven came running to me.

Eleven: You found it! Thanks, Twenty-Two. *wears her shoes*

Me: Y-you're welcome! I-I'll go and continue my game..

Eleven: Wait!

Me: Huh?

Eleven stands in her place and was eyeing me. I was starting to get nervous.

Eleven: Okay. You can go.

Me: O-okay.

I wonder what she was doing.

11 POV:

After I found my shoes, I walk back to my house. I pass Fourteen's house on my way. I always wonder why odd numbers can't skateboard. If Twenty-Two didn't have those rainbow elevens, I would've had a chance to skateboard. It's not even fun to play with him! He is his own game! I don't know why we both ar-

Fourteen crashes into Eleven.

Fourteen: Oh, I'm so sorry!

Me: It's alright. What were you doing? And where did you come from?

Fourteen: Oh. Heheh. I was trying to do a quadruple backflip, but I fell halfway through. 😬

Me: Oh! I see. I thought it was raining Fourteens. 😏
Good luck in trying to ace that move! I know you can do it!

Fourteen: Hehe! Thanks! I'll get back to it.

Fourteen skates away as I watch him zoom off. I've always wanted to be an even number. Being an odd is just not fair. All of my closest friends are even numbers. I try to shrug it off and walk back to my house.

14 POV:

After I apologize to Eleven, I skate away, so that I don't get into trouble. I stop my skateboard at a point where it was all quiet.

Me: Hello? Is anyone here?

Twelve: Hello, Fourteen!

Me: AAAAHHH! Oh.. it's just you..

Twelve: Sorry.

Me: What're you doing here?

Twelve: Well... You gotta take a break from your brother once in a while.

Me: Eighteen again? 😏

Twelve: Yeah.

Me: I can't imagine how much trouble he is!

Twelve: That's what I would say if you had a sister. 🤣

Me: Wh-what? 😅

I couldn't be mad at her. She would feel bad. Also, what she said was basically true.

Twelve: I.. uh... can't stay for long. I was going to go for a walk on the shore.

Me: O-of course! Y-yeah! Y-you can go!

She gave me a warm smile before leaving. I was about to start skating before Eighteen zoomed in front of me.

Me: Dude! Watch your speed!

Eighteen:  •ω•

Me: Don't give me that face.

Eighteen: •ω•

Me: Why am I still here?

Eighteen: Because I knowwwww!

Me: Know what?

Eighteen: That you've got a crush on my sis!

Me: What?! No! Never! I do not! I'm sure she doesn't like me anyway!

Eighteen: You can't hide it, compadre! I've already seen it.

Me: Go and find yourself a job , Eighteen.
________

(Just consider the video from 0:10)
_______

Eighteen:  👁️-👁️

Me: Now if you'll excuse me, I've got more important things to do.

I leave the place where Eighteen was. I see Twelve on my way, looking at the calm water. I wanted to join her, but I don't think she'll like it.
I slowly go towards her, so that I don't scare her, and stand next to her. She didn't look happy. She had an angry-sad look on her face or maybe she was in deep thought.
I hesitatingly tapped her shoulder.

Me: A-are you okay, T-t-twelve?

Twelve: Yeah.. I'm fine..

Me: But you d-don't seem like it.

Twelve: It's only that... I've seen... many Numberblocks... uh... Just nevermind..

She runs away from me. I wonder what she's thinking of...

12 POV:

Why did I do this? Why did I run away? I should've been straightforward and told him. I run back home and I go to my room. I lock the door on myself and fall on my bed. I never did anything bad. Please don't punish me, nature.
I hear Eighteen knocking on my door.

Eighteen: Is everything alright, sis?

Me: Yes. Everything is okay.

Eighteen: Why did you lock the door?

Me: Because some things are none of your business. Go and find yourself a job, Eighteen.

Eighteen: 👁️-👁️

Eighteen has been telling me for the past few days that Fourteen has a crush on me. I don't believe him. We're the total opposite of each other. I can admit that we have a few things in common. But that doesn't mean we're together... I take myself deep into my thoughts as I drift to sleep.

18 POV:

Why does no one want to listen to me? First Fourteen tells me to get a job, and now Twelve?! I must prove it right that Fourteen has a crush on her! Twelve locked the door on herself, and I don't know what she is doing. I hope she's sleeping.
Good thing she locked her door. Or I would've poured a bucket of ice cold water on her in the morning as always.
She doesn't say anything about it. So I always do it. •ω•
It was 9 PM, so I go to my bed and sleep.
