Chapter 73There were blood stains all over the floor. . . Mike couldn't hold his eyes to look further at what was going to happen next to Pedro. He was one of those people who had a bad taste for seeing blood, and he was already having the feeling of throwing up. Pedro was on the ground trying to make sure he wasn't bleeding out but no way that was going to happen. No matter how strong he tied the ropes around his legs, he had blood gushing out at a slow rate from the spot he got shot.Shawn was furious, and his eyes glared in anger. He had to do something, and for sure there was no way he was going to get penalized after all the man did to Pedro.Shawn swiftly ran towards the bar where the drinks were and was about to pick up a bottle of drink when Mike arrived like a ghost to stop him in his tracks.“What the hell are you trying to do. . .? Are you trying to get yourself in jail?" Mike questioned.Shawn had second thoughts about it and left the drink he had carried back on the tab
Chapter 74Pedro had found a way to treat himself inside the car while Shawn had been driving for the rest of the time. . . It bought him more time to treat his wounds and before Shawn could get to the traffic where the police were going to be, Pedro had ordered Shawn to step out so he could drive them back home and Shawn did as he was told.Pedro, even with the Gunshot to his leg, tried the best he could to drive back home early before Shawn's parents arrived at the house. They got home and the guys quickly rushed out of the car so they could get their things inside and keep everything in order before Shawn's mom and father came back. Shawn knew that if everything wasn't in place, they were going to suspect in a split second. . . Shawn and Pedro were trying to stop that from happening.They quickly got their things from the car while Pedro packed the car in the garage. Then boys took their things into the room, changed their clothes, took their baths and stayed in their room while P
Chapter 75Shawn's father had come back in just when Shawn left his mother's room. He tried to ask his wife what went on as he had seen both Shawn and Pedro leave the room consecutively but each time he asked, she waved off the question immediately and acted like she had no idea what he meant when he mentioned it.Shawn's father left not bothered about whatever was going on. He trusted his wife well enough that she would always tell him everything, and if she didn't, it meant that whatever it must have been was not that important. . . It was always what he kept in mind.Shawn had returned to his room where the rest of the guys were and just when he got in, Shawn's eyes clashed with Leah and Mike who had been sitting on the bed facing the door. . . It was like they knew he was going to come in, in a little moment.“Umm! What's that. . .? Is there anything that I should know of, or is there any problem?" Shawn asked as he tried to be more clearer on the question he was asking them.“Ahh
Chapter 76Shawn had gone over to Pedro to speak to him about the possibility of them going the day before the date his father had set for them. Shawn explained why he said that and told Pedro that his friends were already ready to leave because they had a call, some issues and they needed to go back to their home. Pedro promised Shawn that he was going to consider his request and that he would make sure that his father knew about it and then get back to him as quickly as he could. Shawn waited in the sitting room where it was cool and quiet. He needed to collect his thoughts and think clearly. Everything was happening just so fast and he didn't seem to understand why they were happening that way. . . His friends and family, it seemed like all of it was a lie like someone had been lying to him the whole time because nothing was clicking.It wasn't until thirty minutes after Pedro had left Shawn in search of answers, he was back with one. . . One that was going to determine a lot of
Chapter 77Pedro arrived at the gate and from the look of things, it was no child's play, this one.There were soldiers mounted outside the gate and in and out of every corner one could twitch their eyes to. Two of three soldiers were watching them as they drove their vehicle into the school, with their guns in their hands.“Stay calm guys!" Pedro mumbled as he drove towards the checkpoint. He was careful that nothing happened. Even if he was ex-military, he knew the rules and watched out for everyone who was in the car with him. He needed to move them into the school unhurt and safe like everyone else.“Hello. . .!" Pedro said to the guards as whined down his car window for the man to see who he was talking to.“Welcome. . .! Are these your children?" The soldier enquired.“No, they are not. . . I am just an ordinary driver bringing them back to school, as we were told to do so,” Pedro said.“But not this early. . . Is everything okay Sir?" He asked after letting Pedro know it wasn't
Chapter 78Mike, Shawn and Leah had better go into hiding. They had issues within themselves, and it was not the best time for them to be seen by Erica, who could have been planning a terror attack on them if she had glanced at them.“Did you see her. . .?" Mike asked.“We all saw her damnit! How does she look that good. . .?" Leah asked.Mike and Shawn turned to give her a deadly stare.“Is that all you are on about right now. . .? Her beauty?!" Shawn finally voiced out in anger.“I mean, not that it's all I was looking at, but come on, we have to admit it at some point," Leah mumbled, rolling her eyes and immediately shrugging her shoulders.“Come on, we aren't playing here. . . We are doing this for you, for all of us so we have to put our heads together and figure this shit out!" Mike said aloud.“Well if you are going to go ahead and judge me, go on. . . But never forget that we can't do that if we are angry with ourselves and we are keeping secrets from each other and acting lik
Chapter 79There were loud echoes of car honking sounds coming from the area where the rest of the cars were packed. It was the one sound that woke them up from their sleep. It had been morning and none of them expected to be woken up that soon by the car honk.Shawn quickly opened his eyes after that, he felt the bed he slept on was really tight, which was rather weird. He walked up to the window to open the curtains for a little sunshine.“Ohhh shit! What are you two doing here. . .?" Shawn asked, realizing that the whole time, he had been sharing his bed with his friends, which was rather weird and awkward to him. He had never done that before.“Come on Shawn, you don't have to make this obvious, we have been in more uncomfortable places than this, so please give it a break!” Mike mumbled as he struggled between keeping his eyes open and keeping up a fight with the sleep in his eyes.“This is just crazy. . .” Shawn muttered.He found out that who had not spoken since was the one wh
Chapter 80A sharp knock came banging on the door, one, too many times. He walked to the door while he tried to tuck his shirt into his neatly sewn trousers.“Who is at the door?" Shawn asked as he clicked the door open.“Hi!" A man uttered, standing at the door.“Hello, do you need anything?" Shawn asked, holding on tightly to the door. He had no idea who he was, and was ready to bang the door in his face if he tried to do something crazy. Shawn was already too careful to be deceived by anyone.“The students are being called out, the meeting is about to begin and everyone is needed to be seated in the School's town hall,” the man said to Shawn “Sorry, what is that?" Shawn asked, confused.“Ohhh you're a fresher over here? Ask your friends… I bet they have been here longer than you have been, they should know,” the man smiled on his way out, and Shawn quickly closed the door behind him as he turned to give Mike and Leah a stare.“What…?" They both chorused.“What did he mean when he
