Wednesday, 3rd of December 2020. Garret high school. Teacher's room. 1200 Hours.
"Fernando, are you sure this is your best idea?" Patrick said as he hid behind the door of the teacher's room.
"C'mon, nothing is better than stealing some delicacy from the teacher's room," Fernando said.
Fernando Nicholson was a student on the 12-G. He was a tall boy, 180 cm. His hobby was quite something to be ashamed of, but hey, teenagers loved doing stupid things.
"Ok, so I'll grab the teachers' attention while you will grab their food?" Patrick confirmed his plan as he held a shitton of books on his hands.
"Yup, let's go."
Both of them entered the teacher's room and Patrick immediately caught the teacher's attention. Meanwhile, Fernando immediately walked to the back of the teacher's room.
"IS SOMEONE CALLED DIPSHIT HERE?" Patrick shouted that in front of the teachers. It was his most idiotic thing he had done.
Of course, it grabbed the whole teacher's room attention. All of the teachers immediately walked to Patrick. They began to shout, scold, and doing other things as Fernando sneakily stole some of the food from the teacher's room. It was mostly bread and candy. But free food was still free food.
"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" The teacher shouted at him.
"Yes sir, I won't repeat it again," Patrick looked down. But inside his heart, he knew that he was successfully becoming a good distraction.
Patrick put those books in front of an angry teacher's desk and he immediately walked away from the teacher's room. Outside of the room, he had already found Fernando with a lot of food on his hands.
"Wow, what a good loot," Patrick commented on the amount of bread that they found. On their way, they found that their friends were going to the canteen, but immediately stopped once they saw Fernando brought a bazillion amount of food.
Both of them were Vincent Adler and Russell Baldwin. Both of them had the same posture, their muscle mass on their hands was very big, their height was the same more or less, around 179 cm.
"Wow, I was thinking of going to the canteen, but well, looks like this will be enough for the whole class, mind if we carry them?" Vincent said.
"Sure, here you go," Patrick said and Vincent and Russell took most of the food away and they walked to the classroom.
The teachers didn't catch them stealing those foods, mission successful. All of them walked to the classroom and immediately greeted by a wave of students.
"FREE FOOD GUYS!" Eva said. Eva Blaine was one of the students in that class. She had long brown hair and her posture was as tall as Shaddam, around 167 cm.
All of the students in that classroom immediately approached the table where Vincent and Russell put the food. They immediately snatched those foods, whether it was candy or bread. Free food is free food and they wouldn't give a damn.
"What do you have?" Aurelia asked Patrick.
"I have a chocolate bread, that's all," Patrick said as he showed his bread to that female friend.
Aurelia Leblanc was a friend of Patrick. She was a financial manager for the 12-G. If Patrick wanted to buy equipment for the class, he consulted Aurelia first. She was a short-haired girl with very black hair, she was short, but not as short as Aveline.
"Dude, you brought too many candies, share a bit will ya?" Shaddam said to Henry. He brought too many candies for himself.
"C'mon, it's only three candy," Henry said and Shaddam took two of his candies.
"Now it's fair," Shaddam said.
"Bruh..."
Henry Sanford was Patrick's friend. He was a boy as short as Shaddam, well not as short as him, but still, he was short. He was in a friendly rivalry with Fernando in terms of grade.
"Julia, throw me a bread," Hannah said to Julia and she threw a loaf of bread to Julia. Julia caught it and thanked her.
Hannah Navarro and Julia Matthews were besties. Both of them had the same characteristics, especially with their heights. It was almost the same, at around 164 cm. If Julia tied her hair, Hannah would usually cut her hair short so she didn't have to tie it and vice versa.
Ryan grabbed two pieces of bread, but before someone could protest, one of them got handed down to a random girl in the class. Ryan gave the bread to Stacy Chandler.
Stacy Chandler was another class secretary. She would always sit near the window. She's the best in terms of handwriting and the accuracy of her handwriting. She was a girl as tall as Ryan, albeit shorter, with glasses and ponytail hair.
"Brother, I see a ship sailing," Nathan noticed that Ryan gave one of the pieces of bread to Stacy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, is this a new form of confession? With bread?" Vincent spiced up that announcement.
Patrick just smirked, he knew that Ryan had an interest in Stacy, he just never tells anyone. It was the best thing for that day, at least for Ryan.
"Thanks, but I don't like chocolate," Stacy said. All of the boys in the class just laughed, "Feels bad man," Fernando said.
Patrick went outside of the class again and Aline followed him from behind. Patrick leaned his back at the wall of the balcony. Patrick looked at her, "What do you want?"
Aline put her hands on the railing, "Nothing in particular, but I will have something to be talked if you follow me."
"Fair enough," Aline moved away from the classroom and Patrick followed her from behind. They moved to an empty room near the administration office. It was a club room for the red cross. Since the club was disbanded, Aline was the only one who had access to that room.
Both of them entered that room and Aline locked the door again. She closed the curtain and they talked about something.
"Yes?"
They moved further from the door to avoid any unwanted eavesdropping. After that, Aline started spilling the beans.
"How long?"
"What?" Patrick asked.
"How long will you let your girlfriend in that school?" Aline asked.
"I don't know, it's her decision," Patrick said.
"Sigh, I know. You better be ready then," Aline said.
"What?" Patrick asked.
"We'll be moving out of this country. It has been planned by Echo, almost everyone agrees except for your girlfriend and her friend," Aline said.
"How so?"
"She said something about an old friend, but I don't know. Trinity is a WMD," Aline said.
"How so?"
"There's a lot of gas tank scattered around the town for no reason whatsoever. From the looks of it, they have something to do with that program," Aline said.
"I see. What did Echo say about our next course of action?" Patrick asked.
"This," Aline opened the coat of her jacket. Patrick noticed that she concealed a P90 and a plate carrier below her school coat.
"Authorization of concealing automatic weaponry?" Patrick asked.
"Yeah, and you should do too. You don't know when will the vest become useful," Aline said.
"We have resistance to bullets right?" Patrick said.
"Yeah, but the plate could adsorb some of the energy and downgrade the penetration of the bullets," Aline said and Patrick understood that. Patrick opened his phone and put on his plate carrier and carry an MP5 behind his school jacket.
"You know when Lynn went offshore. She hit a jackpot, she got a VLFS from the American government," Aline said.
"VLFS? What's that?" Patrick asked as he buttoned his coat.
"Very Large Floating Structure. You know it more as mother base," Aline said.
"Ok, where is it?"
"Somewhere in the Atlantic ocean. Don't worry, we'll need a lot of budget before able to move there," Aline said as she left the room.
"Yeah. I know."
