The male stuent neared them and almost collided with them as the hallway they had entered which was the one leading to the cafeteria was narrowed, narrowed for the essence of reducing the running of students after meals. Food after eaten was meant to be digested and not wasted or rather, used up on unnecessary hyperactivities.
For two reasons one due to the narrowness of the hallway and widespreadness of the four boys, the male student brushed Emma and whisked across the wall. Not for the swift movement of him to the side, the student would have entered him.
The boy writhed through the little space provided to him by Emma when he moved away from the wall. Emma and the rest of the boys glanced back beyond their shoulders at the boy who found it hard to ask his seniors to excuse him or to at least be patient enough for them to reach the cafeteria's door thereby clearing the hallway for him to pass. The boy was a junior student and a very disrespectful one at that. He could not even utter a greeting to them. Almost as if they had rehearsed it together, they shook their heads simultaneously and turned again to their paths.
They kept walking, nearing the cafeteria where they could now hear chatters, loud chatters alongside the clinking of culteries against the ceramic plates. Emma rubbed against the insides of his ear and his friends were seen to be doing the same thing. The noises made inside the cafeteria seemed to be affecting them alot. The four friends searched frantically inside their trousers. All the talks and wasted up time made them forget to do something. Something really important.
'Found mine!'. Declared Eclairs as he took out a small black case from his pocket and out of it came two air buds that he wore onto his ears.
Roger brought out his next and didn't have to pass round the news as his friends were already looking at him. They had seen him bringing them out from the case and now they watched him as he wore it too.
Emma wore his and Marvin followed suite. Red lights blinked on the air buds on their ears and they continued to the cafeteria. They kept walking and did not stop until they heard a tearing sound and all halted only to be met with an expansion of the tearing on Emma's trouser. All stood, shocked.
Emma was more shocked, but he managed to hid it away from his face, holding up a blank expression. He bent his upper body to assess the tearing.
A blue ink that almost blended with the black trouser left alone for his powerful sight, formed a short trail and then it occurred to him that when the boy had walked closer to them, he had actually seen a blue ink pen in his right hand and the cover was not on the tip. It was then he was able to ring out what went wrong that got his trouser tearing or rather expanded the tearing to a larger part of his thigh.
The boy had unknowingly drawn the tip of the pen at the tearing and when he had search for his air buds, the tearing had followed through the pen marking. He most smacked his head. He had felt a burning sensation on his thigh before as the boy passed by, but he failed to notice, as his attention was fixed on the rude boy who had forced his way through them without asking for permission.
If he could feel that pain in his thigh, then it simply means-- he looked closely and it turned out that the marking was indeed deep as the pen had trailed past the trouser into his thigh, scratching his thigh a little.

Wow, things are getting pretty interesting. I am at the second chapter now, 16 more to go. It's 12:51am at my time now and 27th of April, so that means we have less than three days left. Thank you for joining me on this.
