Chapter One
"Strider," a voice said as a textbook was slammed on my desk. I calmly sat up, looking at the teacher expectantly. "Sleeping in my class again, are we?" Mr. Black raised an eyebrow.
"Nope. I never sleep in your class." I said honestly. "I mean, who could? You can hardly keep your kids under control." Snickers came from the seats behind me. It was true, this year was his first ever teaching and he obviously had no experience dealing with kids.
Mr. Black frowned. "Take the sunglasses off."
"No can do. I'm afraid they're permanently glued to my face sir." I smirked. He attempted to snatch them from my face, but I ducked, causing him to fall face first in the middle of the isle. The class erupted into laughter.
"Strider." Mr. Black started, as he got up, "Principle's office. Now."
I just smirked, standing up I gave a lazy salute, and was out the door. I hadn't actually been sleeping. Nope. Just thinking about how things used to be, during the game. Before everything was reset and everyone lost their memories of ever playing. Everyone except me. I still remembered the trolls, the dream bubbles, Jack Noir, Lord English.
It had only been just under a month ago that we had all won the game and I had woken up in my room on what my calendar had said was John's 13th birthday. When I had contacted Rose on pesterchum she had just gone on asking about what I had sent John. I asked her if she remembered anything about the game. But she had no clue what I was talking about. So I thought, Jade has to remember, right? She didn't either.
I had even tried to get John to remember. But when no one did, I finally just stopped asking. But I still dropped subtle hints and reminders every now and then, trying to jog their memory. For a while I used blue text and eights all the time whenever I would talk to John. He had only mentioned that it was a little weird and that he thought red fit me better.
Then I tried talking in gray text with all caps. No response.
Teal text, with 413 replacing letters. No response.
Green text, capitalizing every word. No response.
I still try to drop hints everyday, and I'm sure my friends think I'm going insane… Maybe I am.
When I get to the office and they sent me home I wasn't surprised. Bro looks somewhat pissed when he drove me home, but said nothing.
We got to the apartment I was almost certain that Bro would drag me to the roof and we would strife. But he just went to his room, completely ignoring me. I shrugged, walking to my room and opening my laptop. Both John and Rose weren't online, despite the time differences they would both still be at school for approximately another hour. At least Jade lives on a deserted island and doesn't have to go to school.

[turntechGodhead ceased pestering gardenGnostic]
I stared at the new window that had popped up, him… Did he remember? Why had he pestered me, of all people. Why should he care about what happened to us? Should I answer?
