“Anyone wanna go grocery shopping with me?” announced Chase standing right in the middle of the café with a long list in his hand raised up in the air.
Everyone raised their heads from their jobs, glanced at him for a moment then went back to their own business. I watched as he sighed heavily and mumbled something under his breath along the line ‘as usual…no one interested…go alone’. I finished arranging the chair and went to him.
“Can I join?” I asked a little uncertain.
“Oh yeah? Really?” he exclaimed to which I nodded, “No one likes to go grocery shopping with me. I wonder why though,” he taped on his chin, “Let’s go then!”
He then folded up the list and together we went towards the exit where Koda stood fumbling with the yo-yo which was originally Riley’s. He flashed us a smile and straightened his posture.
“Chase! Alisa! Where’r
Lily, Brandon, and Rose invited us to go out shopping with them. As we were free in the evening we agreed with the permission of Ms.Morgan. She just warned us to come before ten and for me to always stick with Kyle. However, my fellow ex-classmate was thrilled about going out and also for meeting Brandon; I guess he texts him more often just like how I do with Lily. Well, I was excited too because I’d never hung out with any girls other than my best friend in high school, Arya. And surprisingly Lily and Arya were similar in many ways which made me comfortable with her very fast. I like Rose too but I’m a little overwhelmed talking individually with her as she always emit that powerful unapproachable aura but I knew she liked chatting with me too.We completed our duties half an hour before they asked us to meet them at the mall. We spent few minutes getting ready.Kyle was pulling on his socks while I tied my long hair into a high ponytail leaving ann
“Okay!” I said through the bangs and screeches, “Please come quick, Tyler” I hung up my phone and covered my ears from exploding due to the loud explosions and shouts coming from behind me. I pulled my knees into my chest while sitting on the low grass, the twine cage protecting me from whatever was happening behind me. It’s been a while since I found out that my ex-classmate has some sort of powers and the fight started. I didn’t dare to move from my place judging by the sounds of inhuman hissing and howling, like what the hell was happening in there. War?! I would have been worried to death about Kyle if he had gone with bare hands but finding out that he has some kind of wood magic, I didn’t know what to feel anymore. That was uncalled for. A particular large bang on the tree vibrating on my back made me yelp. “WE ARE NOT HERE TO DWELL WITH YOU, KYLE MILLER!” there was a loud distorted female voice booming causing even the leaves to
It’s sort of like a ritual for Rangers to gather around and have a campfire on the beach every month or so. They sing, dance, and enjoy themselves taking a break from their everyday schedule of maintaining and running the museum. Fortunately, that day was today, the day before our school reopening. I was excited about school but nervous and anxious at the same time so, this was the best way for me to calm my tensed nerves and hyperactive mind. So, here I am rubbing my hands from the slightly chilly sea breeze. Rangers sat under the lucid crescent moon, swaying and humming to the guitar strings of Chase. Tyler and Shelby are stepping their foot to the melody, completely lost in each other’s eyes, Riley sat there playing with his dog he recently brought from his parents’ house, Ms. Morgan’s rocking her head to the tune her orbs afar, Ivan probably tracing something on the orc sand and Koda munching on the third chicken
Music blasted through the earphones in my ear while my eyes trained on the passing buildings and the engrossed pedestrians. Morning mist covered the bright rays of the sun yet some rebel rays hurried through to thumb against the clear window before me, illuminating my vista outside. Monday’s the day; the day when people drag themselves off the beds to go to work and their reluctance was very much visible on everyone’s faces on the bus as they either looked out or down on their phones. Kyle and I, both however were excited. Me? Maybe not outside but inside, Kyle’s eagerly running his eyes through the people though he looked calm, bouncing his leg beside mine. Before we stepped out of the Dino Café, we’d to listen to a whole 30-minute lecture from Ms. Morgan starting with how to go to school and what to do first from not to get into any trouble plus a silent warning from Ivan to stay away from vampires. Yeah, we’re going into a supernatural school so mythical and some
See, It's not my fault that I'm a half-blood. I too 'had' a normal life just like you until a series of action thriller mega-fantasy stuff started to happen in my life out of nowhere. Trust me, being normal is better than all this. Being a half-blood for real is pretty...I don't need to say that, because my brother has actually told all about it, so no. Let me warn you too. If you are reading this to become a half-blood, please don't do this, you are going to be in great danger, it's better if you go to the kitchen, take a knife and stab yourself. But if you are a person who doesn't believe in a fantasy world saying fantasy is for kids and none of this is ever going to happen in your life, of course, read on...I want to know how you are going to survive because I was one of you...So go on, It's pretty fun to watch a troublesome kid doing stuff! THE wind was blowing on
A week has passed since I got here on this island. As I really liked to read adventure fiction books, I know how to survive on an island alone, thank those books! By now I'm used to this unusual place. I know all the places now, I even found a cave in which I'm living right now. It's a cave just near to the beach and it's pretty much great I found this because it's burning down during the day and freezing at night.I decorate the cave with leaves and stuff, prepare weaved palm leaf mats for me to lie down and it's fun. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO IN THIS STUPID ISLAND!!! It's sometimes very boring so, I play with the waves, wander around the trees, take a swim in the lake or just run screaming from one side of the island to the other. Before dusk, I gather woods for lighting a fire, it's overly cold. Aah, the lighting of a fire, I really should say that. It's what I read in a book in whi
I'm really shocked to see him. But he is here anyway! I rested his head on my lap, lifting him up by his shoulders. There were some bruises and scratches on his handsome face and hands, thank goodness he's breathing. I called his name a few times and shook him by his shoulders as gently as possible in case anything is broken. His eyes squirmed in his socket and slowly opened it, adjusting to the light. His focus rested on me for a while, then he shoots forward getting up. He panted a little heavily and looked over to the sea before him."Where am I?" he almost whispered."You are on an island," I said without any emotion. He'll take it."How did I get here?" he asked in the same position."Um, the waves washed you ashore" I replied ev
Karthik and I never talked much because we are from completely different departments of our school; he was a bully and I was a nerd. He was the scariest person on the whole campus when angry and everyone knew that. Everyone respected him because they were scared. The girls always drooled over him, honoring him as the hottest and meanest boy at school. It was very scary because his little gang's first target will be of course the nerds. Be it a boy or girl they always targeted them asking for money, completing their notes, for entertainment, and other accompanied junk known as ragging. Karthik never took part in any of these, he'd just stand there quietly watching what his friends were doing.; neither encouraging nor discouraging."Ananya, how do you know me?" asked Karthik pulling me out of my thoughts.Yeah, we are still on the island,

Sun was shining brightly as ever but its heat was not reaching the cold grounds out of the earth. It was as though the earth was embedded by a veil of mist, not letting any heat through it. The trees started to shed their protective clothes around them, decorating the grounds and footpaths with their beautiful artwork. They were welcoming the forthcoming autumn gracefully, using the shredded leaves as its greeting carpet. The way nature changes with time are fascinating to watch.I pried my eyes open, my nostrils were immediately met by the addicting odor of coffee. I was wrapped around my blanket buried into it like a burrito. Squinting slightly to the light, I followed the odor aimlessly. My eyes came upon the steaming cup of coffee placed right at the center of my table lamp. It was very tempting not to reach out to it so I did. I took a sip and awed internally; that was one of the best coffees I have ever had. I emptied it in one go almost burning my tongue.
The days went on so quickly and I felt like I was part of this family right away. They were really kind and caring towards me considering I'm the youngest of them and treated me like a kid sometimes but I just laughed them off when they joke around me. Every day I helped the rangers, one way or the other. As I was new they didn't know what job to assign to me and told me to do whatever I want but I couldn't just stand still so I lowkey helped them all. I had learned from them that after we had been rescued from the island, Karthik woke up almost instantly but I took three weeks. It was really weird, everything was weird, but this was super weird. I mean why the hell was I sleeping for three whole weeks? I didn't know, so I left it there. Anyway, I helped Chase in cleaning and dusting off the fossils, accompanied Tyler in setting them on display, talked and discussed a lot about dinosaurs with Shelby; she really was a pro in it, sometimes played rocks and stuff with Koda, Riley somet
When I woke up the next day, Karthik wasn't in his bed. I went inside the shared bathroom at the corner of the room and was surprised to see that there were in fact things for me to use alongside his. I brushed my teeth, freshened up, and wore what was hung in my almost empty closet; a t-shirt and jeans. Afterward, I walked towards the cafe. I hadn't familiarized myself with the place but I reached my destination somehow with the limited knowledge from watching the show.It was almost empty except for Ivan who was frying a sausage judging by the sizzling sounds emitted by the pan. I walked up to the kitchen with a small smile."Good morning, Ivan" I chirped."And to you, m'lady" Ivan bowed a little with a wide smile after noticing me."Can you tell me where are the others?" I asked leaning against the counter to peer at the cooking sausages and an omelet on another."Not up yet, I think," he shrugged while cracking an egg and pouring it into the no
"Will she be alright?""Of course, she should be""But why isn't she waking up?""Don't ask silly questions, Chase!"Almost a minute after, a sudden beam of light rushed into my fuzzy mind causing me to stir awake. My brain however was in no mood to wake up judging by how it throbbed and squeezed itself inside my skill. A low groan escaped my lips when my heart pumped blood hard and fast, lowkey hurting every nerve and sinew of my body.I opened my eyes slowly. There were two figures in front of me but it was all in a blur. However, I could say they were gaping at me. The outlines of the unknown faces resembling someone I know very well."She is up," I heard a female voice.My vision became clear after a couple of seconds and here I was in a sturdy white square-shaped room. There were only one window and the sunlight was zooming into the room through its clear glass pane. At one side of the room, many types of machines and pieces of e
