The 6th Wave

The 6th Wave

This is a Choose Your Own Path story. That means that you can make the decisions. Sometimes, you can make decisions of other people. Will you survive the day? Or will you not? Be prepared for the 6th Wave!

1: It is a chilly autumn morning, on Monday 9th of May, 2016, and you enter your classroom. You sit down at your desk, and you say hi to your friends. Do they reply?

If they do, go to 2. If they don’t, go to 3.

2: Your friends say hi back. Soon afterwards, the bell for the start of class rings. Your teacher then strides in through the doorway. He starts taking the roll call.

If he doesn’t call your name, go to 4. If he does say your name, go to 5.

3: Your friends don’t reply. Strange! They usually respond back, you think. Suddenly, you feel a tingling over your body. You try and ask them what’s happening, but they don’t reply. You try to touch them, but your hand just goes right through them! A few seconds later, you vanish with a little pop. The End!

4: The teacher just automatically skips your name! You wonder why he did that, so you walk up to his desk. He instantly starts screaming, and he runs out of the classroom! Weird! Suddenly, you have a very strange feeling, as though your head’s about to crack in half! You suddenly realize a few seconds later that you are a zombie.

The End!

5: The teacher calls your name out, as usual, and you say “Morning!” to prove that you are present. Just an ordinary school day today, you think. Just ordinary. Or is it? Your teacher yells: “4J’s run!” Do you hear him?

If you hear the teacher, go to 6. If you don’t, go to 7.

6: You run out the door with all of your classmates, and the teacher. When you get up to the halfway point, zombies appear behind you! Are you too scared to move? Or do you keep going?  If you carry on, go to 8. If you stop, then go to 9.

7: You don’t seem to hear or even notice that your classmates and your teacher are already out of the classroom! Suddenly, the square metre of floor you are standing on disappears! You fall down and down and down for what feels like hours, until you fall into the smallest, cutest, square metre of lava you have ever seen in your whole entire life. (not) You die. The End.

8: You are so terrified, you sprint off as fast and your legs can carry you. The worst thing possible happens next. A troop of zombies appear in front of you. You grind to a halt. “Brains!” moans the crowd of zombies. “Brains!” They advance on you, and the next second, they are eating you alive. The End!

9: You stop with a sudden skid. You suddenly realize that the ‘zombies’ are actually your classmates, when along comes the teacher. Finally, ten minutes later, you cross the finish line, and you come back into class. Soon, the other students start arriving, followed by the teacher, who is red faced and sweaty. Unfortunately, the teacher forgot to write up today’s timetable, and you don’t know what to do. If you start to read your Book Book novel, go to 10. If you start working on your Chromebook, go to 11.

10: You get out your novel and start reading. The teacher suddenly spots what you are doing, and he says: “We’re not doing Book Book at the moment. Take your name off classmates, I’m very disappointed in you.” Looks like today turned out to not be what you wanted it to look like. “Also, go and kill yourself.” The teacher replies. He hands you a sword that says your name and the letters ‘GO KILL YOURSELF’ on its handle. You can’t help yourself. You grab the sword, and you slice yourself in half. You die. The End!

11: You start working on your Chromebook, on your Journal, to be exact. The teacher suddenly spots what you are doing, and he says: “Spot on! That’s exactly was on the timetable!” You could have easily guessed that. It happened right after we went on the Run. You wrote so much information down in your Journal for that ONE day, you barely finished it before the bell for first break! You rush outside, rip open your bag, and you gulp down your morning tea. Then, you go to… Where will you go to? If you stay inside and play with the shapes, go to 12. If you go to the playground, go to 13.

12: You rush inside, and you pull out the container full of plastic shapes. You enjoy playing with them for the rest of the break.    

Then, the bell rings. All the students come back on time, and then eventually, a ycoffee-fed teacher. “Fun spot!” Yells the teacher. “You can choose the fun spot.” The teacher whispers to you. Which one will you choose? If you choose Octopus, go to 14. If you choose Scatter Tag, go to 15.

13: You sprint to the playground, and you try to have as much fun as you can. (Not.) Suddenly, you come face to face with a little kid who is holding a… PISTOL! “Can I shoot you, pwease?” Before you can reply, he  shoots you right in the heart! You die. End!

14: “I choose Octopus.” You say. The teacher yells: “The game is Octopus!” All of your classmates, including you and the teacher run to one end of the court, and two students are in the middle of it. “Octopus!” Yells the taggers. You run your hardest, but one of the taggers are too fast for you. He tags you. You lose. Ah, well! The End!

15: “I choose Scatter Tag.” You say. “The game is Scatter Tag!” The teacher yells. Everyone goes around, trying to tag one another. After a while, you get fed up. You look at your watch. You can’t believe what time it is! It’s 11:50am, the start of second  break! During break, you just stay in the classroom. Once the bell rings, in comes the teacher, and the other students. What topic are you supposed to be working on now?

If you start working on Maths Buddy, go to 16. If you work on Spelling, go to 17.

16: You get on your Chromebook, and you start working on Maths Buddy. Usually, you do Spelling today, but maybe today is a bit different from other days. “Right on task!” Exclaimed the teacher, spotting what you are doing. You test yourself on Speed Skills, trying to get a new Personal Best. You’re on Level 2 Multiplication, and you score 26. Not exactly my best for today, you think. After you do some Speed Skills, you start doing some Lessons. You manage to get through 5 before the lunch bell rings. You rush outside and open your lunchbox. What will you eat? If you have the cookie, go to 18. If you have the piece of chocolate cake, go to 19. If you have the caramel flavour yohgurt, go to 20.

17: You start practising today’s list of words.  

The teacher sees what you are doing, and he says: “Take your name off Classmates. After that, can you please kill yourself?” The teacher hands you a very sharp and shiny silver battleaxe. You rip your name off ClassMates 2.0. Then, you carefully lift the axe out of the teacher’s hands, and you chop yourself in half. You die. The End.

18: You unwrap your cookie, and you bite into it. Then you discover that the M and M’s inside the cookie are actually bite-size pieces of dynamite! In your haste to eat the cookie, you accidentely swallow a bit of dynamite! Your insides start gurgling and rumbling, and seconds later, you get blown inside-out! You die. The End!

19: You grab the chocolate cake, and you take rather massive chunks out of it. Chocolate cake has always been your favourite flavoured cake. You pack away your lunchbox, and you run off to play. But the question is, where will you play? If you go to the playground, go to 21. If you play inside with the plastic shapes, go to 22.

20: You rip off the lid of the yohgurt container, and you slurp down the stuff in a few massive gulps. Suddenly, you choke on the yohgurt. Then, you discover that the ‘yoghurt’ is actually 1080 poison! You clutch your throat, and you let out a strangled gag. In seconds, you have come to a dead END.

21: You sprint to the playground, and you try to have as much fun as possible. (Not.) Suddenly, you come face to face with a little kid who looks like he’s eight. “Can I shoot you, pwease?” He asks. You watch, stunned, as he pulls a gun out of one of his pockets! But, before you have a chance to reply, you hear a BANG! You die. The End.

22: You sprint into the classroom, and you start to play with the plastic shapes. You have made four decent sized creations before the bell for the start of afternoon class rings. If you think that the class will be playing a game, go to 23. If you start working on Dunedin Camp stuff, go to 24. If you start reading your novel, go to 25.

23: You go outside and run around on the field. But ten minutes later, your class STILL isn’t on the field. Now you know why. It must still be… class time. (Sigh.) Your teacher opens the back door, and he yells your name, and: “I’m very disappointed in you.” Looks like today has come to a bad END.

24: You start working on your Dunedin camp stuff, and soon, the teacher spots you. “Exactly what we’re supposed to be doing.” He replies. You have just finished writing your Dunedin Timetable. You and your friends are planning to go to Zone Combat Paintball, the Otago Museum, Cadbury World, Larnach Castle, Rialto Cinemas, and Moana Pool. You spend the rest of the block talking to your mates about what to do in Dunedin. Suddenly, the bell for the end of school rings! Looks like you managed to survive the 6th Wave! The Right End!

25: You get out your novel and start reading. In comes the teacher. He spots what you are doing, and he said your name, and after that: “I’m very disappointed in you. Take your name off Classmates.” In frustration, you walk over to the whiteboard, and you rip your name off ClassMates. Today turned out to be a VERY bad day! Ten minutes later, the final bell rings. The End!
