Chapter 1 - Freedom days

It's the end of school, it's just an average day for our college students. The classes are at their end, with everyone waiting for spring break. Out of the many people there, there is James... asleep at his desk.

"I don't get why we have to get lectured on the last day of school," James said annoyed as he woke up.

Xavier, James friend, agreed, "you can say that again, can't wait to hit the gym, you should join man."

"Nah man, I just want to relax. Maybe one day," James said.

Time passes and the school bell rings. James and Xavier exit the class and walk down the hallway to the exit door.

"You sure you don't want to go to the gym. Trust me, you will like it!" Said Xavier.

"I already said no. I rather relax, and maybe keep up with my assignments unlike you. Like how much more muscle do you need?"

Xavier starts flexing and admires himself, then pipes up "assignments are boring, muscles are everything."

"But grades are every-" James gets interrupted by two of their friends Damian and Juliana, who are brother and sister. They both looked exhausted.

"Guys w-we have a great i-idea to do this summer," Damian said with enthusiasm while out of breath.

"We found the perfect place to visit, s-some say it it has a mystical feel to it," Juliana said with the same enthusiasm, and also out of breath.

"Mystical? Hah," Xavier said as he laughed.

"What are you two talking about. There is nothing mysti-" James gets interrupted by Damian.

"Shhh-shush-shush-shush we don't need your explanation on what's mystical. Just go with us."

"But, the gym," Xavier said with a pouty face.

"Come on big guy," Damian wraps his arm around Xaviers shoulders, "I hear it has a pretty good arcade."

"That.. does, sound nice. Okay fine let's do it."

"You too James," Juliana demands.

"Let's meet up at my place in a week," Damian said with joy.

A weeks time passes, summer break has finally started. James is walking to Damian's house.

James thinks to himself, "I wonder what those two have planned for us this year. Hopefully it's not like last year," he cringes at the thought of what happen last year. James looks up to see that he is in front of Damians house. He notices that there is an extra car parked, it's Xavier sedan. James walks up to the door and before he could knock the door opens.

He is greeted by Juliana, "what took you so long?"

"Well, uh, I took my time get-" James said.

Damian spoke up, "is that James?"

"Yup, it's him," Juliana replied.

James then let himself in.

"Didn't expect Xavier to be here already," James said surprised. Xavier looks at James and smiles.

Damian looks at James and asks, "James what took you so long"

"Took my time getting ready," James replied.

"Well in the time it took, we decided a place to stay at"

"By picked, you mean rented out, right?"

"Nope! We picked it out," Xavier said as he proudly smiled.

James silently cringes to himself. They spent all of noon discussing the plans.

"Okay, is everyone ready," Damian said to his friends.

Everyone nods and they all get up and grab their bags. They exit the front door and Xavier rushes to front passenger seat of Damian's truck, the rest get in the truck as well. Everybody is ready for the journey. Damian starts driving off. During the ride to their destination James is seen daydream out the window, he wonders what they are going to do there. After a while they end up having to get gas. Xavier rushes into the small store. After a few minutes we see Xavier bringing out a few sandwiches and sweets for drive. Juliana sees the sweets and eyes them down. After filling themselves up they hop back in the truck and drive off, off to the town named Norwich.
