...

Bottle hit the fourest floor.

It's a miracle she didn't shatter.

She slowly got up and looked at the sky, or rather, the roof, barely spotting her team members from Four's mouth gap, those who voted her out.

She let her rage calm down and looked forwards, spotting a door in the middle of the landscape.

This must be the entrance to the EXIT.

She opened the door and stepped inside, a tiny, empty classroom awaited her.

She closed the door behind her and took a seat, taking in the strange looking environment of the classroom, she had never seen it in person, it looked... strange, beyond her comprehension, as if it were a different dimension.

She stayed alone, bored out of her mind, until Four finally showed up hours later.

"Oh, Four!" Bottle smiled, "Finally you show up, I was getting bored! Alone in here..."

"Mhm..." Four answered.

"I gotta say, I appreciate your decision to restart the contest for no reason, even if I got out immediately! It was a bold choice!"

"Thanks...? I guess..."

"We have a lot to catch up on don't you think?"

"More like you've got a lot of studying to catch up on!" Four took some algebra worksheets, extended their hand towards Bottle's desk and placed them there.

"What do you mean? I'm the only student! Who do I have to catch up to?"

"You know what I mean, you've got work to do" Four shrugged it off.

"Can't I put this off until tomorrow? This is the only moment when the EXIT will be nobody but me! It's the PERFECT moment to catch up!"

"Well-"

"I want to know what you've been up to!" Bottle interrupted, "You and X were missing for a while, then you come in and make us wait six extra months just to reset the contest? Just what have you been up to? Hmmmmm...?" She smirks mischievously.

"Well, preparing stuff, what else?" Four shrugs.

"Preparing? What are your plans for this season?" Bottle asked, curious, "Well, you've already introduced viewer challenges! That looks like it's gonna be exciting! Yeah! Actually, don't let me ask that, it would spoil the surprises wouldn't it?"

"Yeah, it sure would" Four told her, "You chatterbox..." they whispered to themselves.

"Hm, that actually makes me think... you showed back up to host, but what about X? I haven't seen them yet... huh, is that one of the upcoming surprises for th-"

"I don't want to talk about X" Four said.

Bottle raised an eyebrow, "...What do you mean? Why not?"

"Bottle, do your worksheet"

"No! Hold on, I'm curious now! Did you two fight? I'd find that strange-"

"I'm gonna go now, you better have finished the work before I come back or I'll screech-"

"Hold ON!" Bottle whined, "Why!? And why won't you chat? I've been here alone for hours and you're not even gonna make me a bit of company?"
