Everyone paused and listened to Hanson as they were reminded of their present predicament. They all just kept quiet since they were unable to tell what was happening.
Hanson was typically the captain figure in the school football team, he was handsome, strong, had a good physique, a stubborn dominant male and basically doesn't know much when it comes to academics but his charms and other qualities always kept him going. Almost every girl in class and in the school had a crush on him."So none of us knows how we ended up in the forest or where ever this is? " Hanson asked again equally as frustrated as the others.He stood beside a tree with his fist to it Like he was going to punch it at any given instant, his uniform was untucked since he loved flying his shirt."maybe we were abducted or kidnapped? " Felix said, trying to make sense to the situation.But everyone quickly disagreed."how can we all be kidnapped at the same time and none of us saw it happening." Hanson said.Cordelia added "exactly my thoughts, even if it's a kidnapping. Our captors won't just leave us like this to wander around and we haven't even seen any of them."Felix shrouded, he was basically like the invisible guy in class that did weird and awkward things and people hardly knew he existed back in high school."Maybe it's an alien abduction, uuuuuuhhhhhhhh" Anita said with a snicker as she added effects to what she said to make it sound spooky"oh shush it, that's like impossible. " Cordelia said as she rolled her eyes comically."then explain what's happening then? " Anita grinned"I don't know what's happening but I know that's not it " Cordelia said and everyone nodded.Cordelia was the girl with the brains and the face back in high school. She had won several competitions for the school and was held in high esteem. Whereas Anita was the kind of girl that just enjoyed goofing around.Some of them were already sobbing and panicking trying to understand what was happening, already believing they were gonna die."hope you all realize that it's been years since we left high school but we are all wearing our high school uniform..."Donald said calmly as he adjusted his glasses causing everyone to turn to look at him before they all checked their attires and thought of what he had said.They didn't even realize Donald was among them since he was always so quiet and invisible in high school, seems he still had the trait."this is bright seed academy uniform, I remember it, grade 11 precisely." Sophia who was formerly sobbing since she was scared said.Everyone affirmed it since they were wearing the same uniform."but we were like fifteen back then, and now I know I am 19 how does this old thing still fit? " Anita asked, checking out her physique in her uniform"but damn, i look hot though""back then in class you were flat as the class room board but now you've grown all nicely. " Michael the typical class bully and delinquent said with a smirk as he watched her with perverted eyes.Everyone who got the joke laughed and looked around to check out each other, and indeed noticed that they were all older and looked better than they once were in their high school days."seems the uniform was sewn to fit us now that we are older, but also made to look exactly like our old ones. I remember mine having a different color shade by the side of my shoulder and it's still there "Hanson said as he touched the spot he just spoke about."so what are we gonna do now? " Anita asked as she looked at everyone.Everyone just looked at one another without a word since they were clueless as to what's happening and what to do in this situation."hmm..."Baji sighed equally not knowing what to do or say, he had been listening to everyone speak ever since and it was really nice to see them all again."How about we organise ourselves for now and.... " Baji said but he was rudely interrupted."Yes everyone let's organize ourselves and then make heads and tails of where we are " Damian spoke up loudly and confidently drawing everyone's attention.Damian was a hot headed fellow who always vied for every leadership spot he could lay his hand on in class but he was also smart, but too cunning to fit most roles.'off course he will be here ' Baji thought and exclaimed weakly. Damian has always had a bone to pick with him since he was the class rep and not him.Damien stood on a log so everyone could see him and so he could see everyone and then began talking."Now that everyone is here and don't know what to do, I will be your leader since we obviously need a leader for situation like this " he smiled as he spoke."oh come on why him? " Anita spoke disapprovingly."it's always leader this and leader that with him, I nominate Hanson to be our leader not this squat. "Anita said with obvious animosity against Damian."what can he do?, I should be the leader " Damian said louderHanson smiled and replied "I can be the leader if you all want me to be? "Everyone just watched the two"By the way where is the female class rep, what's her name again.....? " Anita asked as she tried to remember her name"Blessing, it's Blessing." cordillia said since she was her best friend back then.Everyone looked around trying to find her if they still remembered her face that is."O my God, somebody help... " someone scream from somewhere in the bushEveryone ran towards the person since it was a cry for help and on getting there they saw Lilian crying in front of someone laying still on the ground."is that Blessing and is she dead? " Cordillia asked with tears building up in her eyes. The guys rushed over to check on the body.Immediately there was a loud deafening roar from the far north side of the forest and what sounded like several trees falling.It made everyone tremble and shook in fear.Hanson then said. "guys I think something is coming This way ... "Chapter 16. "What's going on?" Cordelia asked groggily as she woke up from sleep. "It's Axel, he ran in here screaming for help. But he has passed out now." Joshua replied. "Wasn't he with Damien's group, so what is he doing here?" Cordelia asked with a frown on her face. "We don't know, we will find out after he wakes up." Joshua answered, still kneeling beside the unconscious Axel."It's the middle of the night. I really need to sleep." Anita cried out softly, she was also up because the ruckus had waken her up. "Should we let him sleep?" Felix asked, looking at the others. "Heck no! He woke us up this late, we must Atleast find out why, I can wake up for nothing." Anita said with a hint of anger, just as she walked over to Axel and began slapping him awake."Hey hey take it easy Anita, the dude is unconscious" Cordelia tried to stop her. Anita didn't listen she just continued slapping his face so he'll wake up"Wake up man, wake up." she said, her grievance stemming from her
Chapter 15. Cordelia, Anita, Donald and Sofia were sitting together and discussing how they could get counter measures for the ants. "If only we could just get bug spray. This would have been so much easier." Anita sighed as she made a frustrated expression. She was the most frustrated even though she wasn't exactly doing anything to help solve the problem at the moment, but she just hated sitting down in one place with nothing to do. She wasn't the critical thinker type, she just preferred action. Cordelia looked at her and rolled her eyes. " Well, there's none. So let's just think of something else. And it's not like you were ever helping us." "Hey! I am helping…" She said back immediately but when she received disapproving glares from Cordelia and the others she conceited and added. "...in my own little way.""So you think that can save them?" Sofia said with a soft voice and shyly. The others turned to her and pondered on her question for a few seconds.Anita smiled and then
Chapter 14.Baji's group and Felix were seated in a small clearing in the forest, and discussing. It was mostly Felix telling them about his experiences and the reason for the disappearances. "...So that's how it all happened" Felix concluded, after talking for close to half an hour. The others Just kept silent and listened but they had the look of surprise on their faces, except for Baji and Donald."You really mean there are giant ants underground right now?" Anita asked as she shivered in fright and Felix nodded."I don't like ants." Joshua said with a straight face, insects scares him generally."Baji, you don't seem surprised?" Cordelia asked, after looking at him and noticing his thoughtful expressions.Baji looked at her and then sighed weakly. "At this point nothing can surprise me again. If we can see a talking tree monster, when what's there not to see.""So what are we gonna do now?" Joshua asked, expressing his concerns. "We will find out anything we can about ants," Fe
Chapter 13. Baji left Hanson's camp with anger, walking away without even caring where he was going. Donald and Joshua followed after him, since they came with him in the first place. Hanson just stood there calmly watching them leave. When they were out of his sight, he turned around and went back to what he was doing before they came. 'Bunch of jerks who care only about ego' Baji thought with so much anger as he walked. 'Why the heck am I even this angry and bothered? They all want to do what they want, I should allow them and just look after myself.' he sighed, really deep in thought.But at the end, he shook his head knowing he was not that kind of person. He was compassionate, empathic and really cared about everyone's welfare, despite how unfairly he was being treated. It was one of his traits that always made him the best class rep always back when they were in high school.Joshua walked faster so he could catch up with Baji and when he did he asked him a question."So Baj
Chapter 12 “Two more people?” Baji said in surprise as he looked at Sophia whom had brought the news. He asked with disbelief and worry but he knew Sonia will not lie or joke about something like that. “Yeah, I and Joshua just finished the morning count and those two can not be accounted for at the moment. And no-one saw them leave the camp this morning” She said, affirming the bad news she had shared with them. When she spoke this time, everyone kept quiet and listened. “Not only do we have to worry about our food going missing, now we have to worry about going missing as well?” Desmond responded bitterly since it really annoyed him. He said directly at Baji like it was all his fault. “who are the two people that had gone missing?” Baji asked weakly as he looked at Sophia, wanting answers. The rest of the group was already starting to approach them to find out what was happening, making it now like a general meeting. She looked at Baji and then answered, “I don’t know their name
Chapter 11Felix crawled through the dark tunnel, slowly and steadily. He struggled to continue, because it was really dark and he could not see anything. He only relied on his hands and his ears as he moved: his hands to feel where he was crawling to and his ears to hear, whatever maybe in the tunnel.His hands were already dirty and bruised, since the tunnel was not only comprised of earth but dirt, rocks and other things he wasn’t even sure of. It was dark, so he couldn’t see at all. Felix could tell that the tunnel was dug manually, with some sort of crude digging tool, since the edges and surfers of the tunnel was rough and uneven, only managing to be on a level plane.So far, Felix has not heard anything, it was like he was in a graveyard. At the moment he could only hear the sound of his laboured breaths, his heartbeats and the sound his body made as he crawled, dragging his legs through the tunnel.Felix was uncertain of how long he had been moving, but to his own estimation,
