This is my first draft. Needs a lot of work though.
I walked into to the room with JZ we were all split up pared at random to face our pasts. I couldn't tell if I was lucky or not to have JZ instead of Lenni, Gabe, or Jensen. Me and JZ were friends but I was always nervous around him, hence me calling him Judgmental. He doesn't know. I don't think he would care even if he knew. I on the other hand do. I am worried he named me "Condesending". Although we are together, we cannot hear what the other is saying to the staff, we can only hear what we directly say to each other. I feel really awkward next to him. When I am with him we are usually with Sophia or the group. I would have named Sophia pristeemed if she was with me. I like that word even though I recently found it is not a real word. She is very put together and seems intimidating at first glance. She is actually really nice. That's why we work when were all together. Don't get me wrong, I am alone with him sometimes, but its only when he is telling me something he doesn't want the others to know. That's when I can forget about his judging eye.
It is time for separation. We walk into 2 separate rooms. I see Eli, my brother, and Alice, my best friend. We wait for the instructor to tell us what to do. We are watching a series of videos and our thoughts are being recorded for our partners to view. I am told that we are getting recorded at the same time as our partners, but with the videos in a different order, then we will be hearing each other's thoughts at the same time. Our responses will also be recorded, but will be ready in a month. We will watch those responses with a new partner who will also see.
I send a glance at Alice and she looks about as confident as I feel. Oh so, so nervous. At least I'm not the only one. I don't know who she is paired with though. I'm about to say something when suddenly I feel my self dragged to a blue matt identical to the ones around me. I had not noticed them before but now all I can focus on is them and my vision clouding, then I hear the infamous tune of "Baby Shark" as I see a colorful picture being painted. Once the annoying busy image is removed I am suddenly overcome by exhaustion but much to my disapproval, a new image still appears. Video after video.
Soon I awake in a another room. With JZ. "I didn't know we were watching together" I mumble. He nods. I don't remember how I reacted. Apparently he likes this girl Allie. I'm glad they lied to us and we weren't watching the same videos. Not that I remember.
I wonder what will happen in a month?
