Chapter 4 - The gone kid

Previously on gloom

There's a new arrival to Meadows High. Arden Paige: little bossy, handsome, rude, and a-don't-care-person. At school, a contest is being inaugurated where the victor can win 1000$. The tyrant and shattered relationship starts and Jake understands about his parent's divorce is actual. Sara steps forward and talks to them. Where she finds her future mother; Catherine Connie, who was super classy and bossy. Their first notion starts with animosity. Later, at school, Pablo shows his anxiety about talking to Phabe about his feelings for her. Catherine starts changing her mask, as pretty as a picture to Lucas and a redress terror to Sara. She wants a tit for tat.

Just another sharp fresh day, Lily was preparing breakfast, and then she went out to get the newspaper, "Good morning Mrs.Lily" said the paperboy. She replied with a smile on her face. She went in and then shuffled through the pages and said staring at it, "Oh my God, poor kid". Kyle came down all dressed up for school; she put the papers on the table and said," Morning sunshine, did you get a good snooze?" He replied, "Yes as normal". She smirked at him and then served waffles with whipped cream on it and a glass of fresh fruit liquid.

" I'm going to be late home today because I got some paperwork to accomplish," Lily said

"Okay not a problem" Kyle answered

He took a waffle in his hand and hugged his mother and ran to his car. He reached the school and parked in his car in the parking lot and also he saw Josh sitting in a cop car. He gaped if he was into some vexation. He got out of the car and tried catching up with him. But someone else reached out, they talked for a moment and then he got down from the car with outrage and banged the car door. Kyle tried to reach out but he turned back thinking that it would be a bad time. He walked in then saw a poster put up saying that a camp is organized by the principal. He was baffled because they don't take students for camp so early. Someone laid hands on his shoulder saying, " This is going to be a super composure." Kyle was aghast, he turned around and said, "Hey".

" Buenos Dias kid" wished Mr.Warren

He just walked away giving a grin from ear to ear. Later, Kyle went to the chemistry lab with Oscar for his first class.

From the squawk box

"Good morning Meadows High, we have a piece of extremely unfortunate news; Caleb Chadwick is missing from last evening, last noticed was at the meadow drive at 5:30 pm. If anyone has seen him after that, please let know Sheriff Nolan Kurt or the school authorities. (Paused) The teachers are wanted in my office now. Thank you, have a blessed and a safe day"

Principal Castor notified

As the teachers walked out Kyle held up a question to Oscar.

He asked, "Who's Caleb?"

Oscar said, "He's the yearbook dude, he was in a detoxification camp for 3 months and he arrived at school yesterday. I think it might be suicidio"

"I don't think so" Kyle replied

"30 to 40 percent of victims from this center die because of suicide, it's decent to let them on their own, " he said

Kyle replied with worry "Let them on their own and die faster, let's hope nothing bad arises."

Oscar sighed "Jake was a drug stoner. He wasted 2 months in that ridiculous place where he was treated like a fault (he paused) he came out and again got into that shit, and then he went back for another 2 months. He came back locked himself in a room for 3 to 4 days without eating or drinking. Then we left him on his own. He came back as our Jake again. (He took a long breath) Anyways let's hope."

Kyle felt remorseful, Oscar told, "Don't tell him that I confessed this." Kyle nodded his head.

At the field

Jake was instructing his junior about the rules of soccer.

"For fouls dedicated by the player could receive either a yellow or red card relying on the severity of the

foul—

" Jake?" He called out

"Yeah, " Jake said

He showed the notice to him saying "the coach told me to give this to you and join in soccer."

"Ha...Mr.Paige, I think he might be incorrect because we already have 11 players and fill-ins, so (he paused) if I had to put you on the team; I should kick someone out and I am not willing to do that cause we are all brothers in here (he was so poised)

Arden cut him out in the middle and said he doesn't care about it and stepped into the field. Jake frowned and asked him to stop, but he just kept walking. Jake moved fast to the Coaches cabin and slammed on the table with the paper. He was angry. He said about what went on the field and the coach chuckled. He said, "Are you a kid arguing about this absurd behavior of someone."

"Coach this isn't foolish, this is showing disrespect against co-captains words."

The coach stood up and said, " Look I know you're angry (poured a glass of water) he was a top player in his school and his resume is good, trust me he is going to be an amazing player  (he took a sip of water).

"But coach —

" Not another statement" the coach went out of the cabin. Jake sat there and thought about managing his team for the upcoming game. He was depressed and ruffled.

Time went by. It was the last class of the day, a class that no one wants; a class that Jake doesn't have a preference for. It was math; Jake sat on the last bench with Mia, Kyle, and Sam. Mr.Shawn walked in and started with the class. Jake felt the warmth streaming through his body. He heard an extent voice and turned around, it was a purgatory where Shawn stood there with a black coat, red-eye, and A math book. Jake was all alone sitting on the seat. Shawn's tone was forceful and chilling. He asked "What's wrong"

and Jake started to flatter. The rude voice started to go down and down. Then he found himself back in the class and said to himself Ah... it's just a daydream. Shawn asked the same question again and this time Jake chuckled and said nothing was wrong.

The class was interesting but for him it was vapid. Before he left the class he notified the students about a math test tomorrow. Jake took a long breath and said, "I'm gonna fail". Kyle replied, "it's an easy topic". Jake answered " Not for me, ( he smiled) but it is easy if you teach me. I will be at your house at 6."

He took his bag and ran out of the class without realizing Kyle's reaction.

Pablo and Jake walked to the parking lot. Jake was talking to Pablo about the tiring day he had. Pablo interrupted and said, " I bought a new car."

"That's amazing dude, " Jake said surprisingly

BANG ( a boisterous noise)

Everyone hurried to the parking lot. Jake and Pablo stood startled. "Hope that's not your car, " Jake said

"That's my brand new BMW, " Pablo said with disappointment

They saw Arden pressing the accelerator. He took his car swiftly and went off. Pablo ran to catch him but he was too tight.

Pablo yelled in Spanish "Para El choce Jodido imbécil, jòdete."

Pablo saw his car completely damaged. He was really worried and provoked.

He said to Jake "Let's do venganza"

Jake replied "Yeah let's do it, I'm in"

Nighttime (changes by Dej loaf playing)

Kyle was reading up with Jake the important sums for the test. Pablo honked the car twice and then Jake saw through the window to make sure it was Pablo. He took his bag and stuffed his books in. Kyle asked, " where are you going, you haven't learned anything; you slept the whole time."

"Never mind I have an issue to deal with" Jake chuckled

He got inside the car and gave a fist pump without looking at the eye.

They said together " payback is sweet"

(The music became louder).
