Chapter 12 - WHAT KIND OF LIFE IS THIS?!...

Tobias rushed in quickly to the court to see if he still has got time to be in. When he got in the coach was already getting them into practice. When he saw that Tobias was late, and that he wasn't even dressed up and ready for training…that annoyed him the more because he was not showing respect and willingness. The coach told him to leave the court, that he should come later and get ready to train…and not today. Tobias was disappointed. He had no excuse but to leave. Bello caught his eye gaze and he just slowly shook his head…continuing his training. And Tobias looked down and sighed.

Wu went to the clothing store to get some new shorts for class tomorrow. She went with her Bluetooth earphones…just listening to her playlist. She found some shorts…and a shirt she liked and wanted to try them on. She removed her earphones and placed them on one of the dark shorts she took from her selection and not in her original shorts. When she was done trying them on…she took them all and went to the cashier for the price. It was quite expensive so she dropped the shorts that mistakenly has the speakers in her pocket she forgot to take out. She left the store…and it was for a while till she realized that she couldn't find her speakers anymore. She felt annoyed because she needed them especially for sleep.

Tobias was really tired as he was working on his assignment late. When he was done…he converted his doc file into a pdf. He was about to send it and then he realized that he did not add a picture for description. He got on Google, found the photo, gave a little description, converted it to pdf again and then sent the work through the portal. He was done and so he hoped unto bed. When Taz came to ask him how he was able to complete a particular question…he couldn't remember so then he sent it to him through mail. When he checked the file, he wanted to send to him, he then realized his mistake. He made the two pdfs almost have the same name…and he sent the work that didn't have the picture he forgot to add to the second pdf…through the mail. He was too late by the time he was able to retrieve the wrong one from the portal. He felt annoyed.

Wu couldn't sleep peacefully because her roommates were making so much noise…she borrowed cord earpieces from Tobias but they were not so sufficient as her Bluetooth wireless earpiece. She was also wearing an eye pouch so she would not be affected by the lights. It was still noisy for her that due to that…she slept in late. She woke up around 10:03 am. Late for her in-person class at 9:45 am. She was so annoyed but she got up and had to go.

Tobias was playing a racing game he installed on his laptop during his online class. Then the game stopped responding all of a sudden. He didn't understand why so he pressed several keys on the keyboard to see if it would respond to that. He accidentally pressed a shortcut key that would unmute himself in the zoom call. Then the game was responding after sometime…and he continued playing with the speaker on…and when he won the game he got excited that he got credits and he could go to the next mile. But the teacher called his name and noticed he was doing something else in class. Tobias realized it but he didn't know what to say. The teacher told him that he should see him at office hours and that if he is not there…he would be marked absent in class. He was so annoyed that happened.

Upon arrival in class, the lecturer saw that she was late…and told her to just wait outside. But Wu convinced the lecturer that she could answer the question on the board…at least to prove to the teacher that she was studying. The lecturer allowed her to come to the board to demonstrate. She picked up the marker…worked out the problem on the board…and then got the answer. The lecturer saw that she did a nice attempt…until a student raised his hand and pointed out that the solution had some errors in it. The lecturer realized it and corrected her…but that meant that the whole solution she did…was wrong. The lecturer upon liking her effort…made her stay in class…but she was still disappointed that she had it wrong.

When Wu came back from wherever she was to her dorm. She realized it was locked…and she checked her bag for her key…she couldn't find it. She kept on searching her bag and still nothing. She was trying to retrace her steps as to how she lost it…and then she knew. She left her key under her pillow…thinking that the girls would leave it open. She didn't have the girls' number…and from her place to Tobias' was quite far…she had to stand outside and wait…whiles people were just watching her. She tried using a hack she learnt online to open the door but it wasn't working. She was frustrated.

~

When Tobias came back from wherever he was…he dropped his stuff and quickly took off his clothes for a shower. He did not know that he left the water heater on for almost the whole day. He turned on the shower and the amount of heat that came on his was unbearable. He even twisted the shower to the cold side but it was still hot. He ran out of the shower with his towel on and went to turn the water heater off. That was annoying…

~

Wu went to the library…just to chill out for a bit after this frustration…when she went in with her ID card…she met the librarian, Agnes. Wu wanted to borrow some books so she could read them, but Agnes rejected it…because she already has three books to return to her. She was confused how…and she actually remembered that she borrowed them online. She returned them to her through an access code. She was so close into paying her…she felt relieved…not after some group of students took her favorite spot in the library…she had to find somewhere else…and that place was not noisy…but stuffy and less airy…she just sighed out of annoyance at this…

~

Tobias went to the laundry. He paid for the services already so all he needed to do was to pick up his laundry bag filled with his washed clothes and he was done. He did that. When he got into the room and opened his bag. He was shocked. It was not his clothes. It was for a lady. But the lady's bag looked so similar to his. He rushed to the laundry place to go and check if his bag was still there…and then he tripped and fell down…why…because his soles was torn from his right crocs. He was so annoyed that he just threw away the crocs and just sat on the floor…but he got up eventually to get to the laundry quickly.

~

Wu wanted to take a walk outside after that. Then she found a bench that was unoccupied by no one…so she took a seat on it. It was not long till bird poop landed on her dress…she got up screaming in frustration…and not only that…there was paint at the back of her shorts…someone must have painted the bench…and she didn't know that it was still wet. She just stormed away and quickly went to Tobias' dorm…

Meanwhile…

--Hedgeville, Wilmington, 6:03 pm—

Gregory's sister pulled out her keys and entered her house. She was ringing the doorbell several times wondering why Gregory didn't answer. She even called him too and there was no answer. He probably was asleep, she thought. She entered Gregory's room. Only to witness the most horrifying thing in her life. The walls to the room were half broken…and the windows shattered…and the place was so messed up…but Gregory…he was found lying dead…on the floor. A bullet went through his head…and there were several other wounds he had on his body. Her sister knelt down on the ground and screamed so loud.

Every equipment and every device or material in the room went flying up and about the whole room. Some went back and forward and up and down and everywhere…running around her as she was screaming. She was doing this. She stopped screaming…and everything dropped on the ground. She was so pissed. She was so furious that she was slowly becoming delusional. She had so much mixed emotions, thinking that it was her fault. That she should have stopped him from doing anything with his computer. She wiped her tears of her face…and thought of something. She picked up his laptop…there was a password…she tried and tried…and then she finally knew it and got in. She looked through his files to find out what he had been doing. She looked through his accounts and saw that he was behind a phishing process. He had robbed over 35 users and accumulated about $250,000. He used that money to purchase his personal things…and sent someone $50,000 through a group chat that she noticed he was in. They were talking about robbing money to help pay someone's school fees…Majeed…Bello…Kenisha…Fabulous…and the last was…Tobias. She was able to get their names and their faces too easily. She went to her secured room where she had a television set of all the cameras wired all around the house. She closely watched all of them…but the footage contained a static shock immediately the incident happened. She just sent the videos to the recycle bin and permanently deleted them. She called the police to let them know about this incident, and she left…because she was going track down who was the scoundrel that did this…

--Delaware State University, 6:59pm--

Tobias was in his room reading his work whiles he was talking to the boys about their party experiences…and then he heard a knock on the door…he went for the door and saw Wu.

"Oh, hey Wu how…wait…what's that on your…is that bird poo?"

She just stared at him sarcastically, trying to ignore it.

"Jeez you…gotta clean that up though…it's gonna leave a stain."

"Take a look at this too." Wu said as she turned around. Tobias was looking at her back…he saw nothing there…when he looked down then he noticed it.

"Owh…is that…what…what is that?"

"Its paint. From the benches outside."

"Ouu that's rough…bird poo and went paint…that's gonna leave a mark." He said chuckling and scratching his hair.

She pulled Tobias out of the doorway so they could keep their conversation discrete.

"Look I don't know if…" She took a deep breath. "…if it's just me…but I've been experiencing a lot of errors in situations that I normally don't have."

"Uhm…so what are you driving at?"

"And all this…started occurring…right after we…became born again."

Tobias shook his head disagreeing to what she said. "No Wu you can't…"

"Look but what if…"

"What if what?...Becoming born again makes you make mistakes…Wu you can't blame your errors over something that brings to you a new life…"

Wu chuckled and said "Then what kind of life is this?..."

"Wu stop it…the only person you're going to blame at the end is yourself…"

"Then tell me Tobias…tell me if I am the only one who has been experiencing a lot of errors consecutively along the way."

He just frowned upon hearing what she meant…but he has also been experiencing a lot of errors too along the way…

"Look…my favorite crocs that I wear right?...I was running to go and return laundry to someone…and it tore…the sole tore…I don't know why and how…"

"You see what I mean…"

"But it happened Wu…it happened…what can I do about it?…I just got it glued and its fine…it's not perfect but it's fine."

"I feel like I made a bad choice…"

"Wu! Stop! Listen to yourself! You can't say that…"

"Or what? I'm going to receive a lot of consequences?...or bad luck?"

"Look I don't think I can have this conversation with you…you're fed up and I get it…we should head over to see Melissa and…"

"Tobias! Bro!" That wasn't Wu…it was someone else calling him. It was Majeed. He was rushing to his place to see him…but not in a friendly way…he looked very distressed and worried.

"Hey Majeed man…bro what's up? What's going on?"

"We gotta leave the school bro…"

"What?"

"We gotta leave now! Tell Bello and the others…I messaged you guys but no one got back to me."

"Bro what are you talking about slow down…"

"It's Gregory bro…someone is threatening us…said they would kill us because we took something from them…"

"What?"

"Its on the group bro where is your phone?! ….Let's go, BRO! We don't have much…"

BOOM! BAAM!

There was an explosion first outside that caused the whole building to shake, with fire around the school. And then the roof of the building collapsed on the ground leaving a huge hole in it. Bricks and pieces were shattered and scattered everywhere…and it was because someone came in with full brutal force and hammered the place. It left everyone there falling to the ground and panicking. Then a figure emerged from the ground…she was wearing black kicks, with a sports-wear black leggings, with a black and purple round neck sweatshirt…with black gloves. She was fair skinned and had dark eyes…she had a black face mask on. She had her eyes on Tobias and Majeed. And she was coming after them…
