"We are playing treasure hunt at night." Professor Benedict shouted, everyone cheered and started shouting.
"And the twist is your teachers are gonna be participating with you too. So everyone let's Rock."
Everyone cheered, I looked at Maria, she shocked her indicating 'no'
As Maria has already indicated me, that things are doing going to be well, I didn't wanted to play at all. I was exhausted by those riddles, But there was no way we could have back out, It was an activity specially designed so that people should get over their fears of the darkness.
"So the groups are..." Professor Benedict started announcing the group.
"Grou 1 is......" One by one he took all the group names and finally he started announcing the group seven.
The Group 7 with be Serena, Audrey, Dino, Jared, James, Tony and Alan." I gasped as Professor Benedict took our name.
'Oh No, Jared and Alan together Again, Can't say this is gonna be good.'
Professor Benedict Continued," And the Professor that is gonna be accompanying them is..... None other than Professor Norbert Hernandez."
I had goosebumps all over my body, 'God anyone was okay but no him. Not Professor Hernandez.' To my surprise Professor Hernandez looked very calm at this moment, as if he already knew hoe the groups are going to arranged. It seems like he was preparing for something, something really big.
"Get ready with your small back pack as the Treasure Hunt begins." Professor Benedict shouted, everyone started cheering again. There was totally excitement in the air but still I was feeling very uneasy.
My eyes went to the corner, where I saw Aphrodite and Maria arguing again.
'Shit not again' I thought to myself. 'I ain't capable of dealing or handling any argument at this point of the time.'
I really wanted to ignore them and just go on the Treasure Hunt, complete the task and come back as soon as possible but I couldn't have avoided them.
"Guys What's up with you both now?" I asked annoyed
"Nothing." Maria said
"Well, Maria wants us to cancel this whole Treasure hunt shit somehow, which is absolutely not possible." Aphrodite said explaining.
"You are witch, aren't you? Make sleeping portion or sing some magic spell and put them all to sleep." Maria said with enthusiasm and hope.
"Bruh, You crazy? I Don't know Magic at that level. I have my limitations okay." Aphrodite said
"You are just good for nothing." Maria said in frustration
"See, See." Aphrodite said in aggression.
"Quiet, Both of u all." I said raising my voice. Controlling my anger and trying to get hold on the situation, I lowered my voice and said, "Girls please both of you calm down."
After taking a five second pause and letting them to chill I said, "Maria are you worried because morning thing?"
"Yes obviously and that's not all my psychic strength goes off again." Maria said totally worried
"Huh" Aphrodite asked in surprise," How is it happening again and again?"
"I seriously have no idea. I know that Alcohol, smoking or any substances brings down your consciousness and your ability to think properly in normal humans as well as psychic, But I haven't consumed any of them. infact I have meditated more than usual." Maria said, she seriously looked stressed and as if she was on a verge of crying.
"Take it easy babies." Aphrodite said putting her hand on Maria shoulder, I went and gaved a her a side hug too.
A cool sweet breeze blow across us. 'Is this the golden trio I always wanted to be a part of' thought as I smile broadly.
"See Maria, I think you are taking so much of stress these day, stress, anxiety, depression brings up block in our head and we can't think clearly and therefore we mess up alot of time. Just be calm and do meditation with ur whole heart, Everything's gonna be perfect." Aphrodite said sweetly supporting up Maria.
Maria just nodded. "Come on Babes, I'm there with u if things go wrong. We will handle up things together." Ahprodite comforted Maria and assure that everything's gonna be well.
"But- Serena, She is gonna be alone...." As Maria was about to complain when Alan didn't let her complete, "Serena is never alone and She will never be. I'm there with her."
My hand went all cold after hearing what Alan said. There were thousands of butterfly in my stomach, I couldn't have helped but blushed. Maria and Aphrodite enchanged looks, I knew exactly what they were thinking.
"Oh OK, Take good care of her." Maria said slightly blushing and smirking
"Students And Teachers please Assemble as fast as You can." An announcement was heard.
"Let's Go guys and Maria please chill, Everything's gonna be alright." I said with a broad smile.
Maria simply nodded.
After few minutes we all were standing in groups, the map was given to us with a warning sign that there is gonna be trouble on every path.
'I whole life has turned fulled of troubles' I wondered. All the group members looked excited and full of enthusiasm, wherelse Me and Jared were simply exhausted and both the Hernandez looks anxious.
"So are you all ready for this journey to begin." Professor Benedict shouted.
"Yes" The crowd roared
"So Let's this exciting journey begins."
