Students arrives at N.T.I.C University after their long summer vacation. Cory, tall and slender with a cool demeanor that followed his walking steps arrives with Sage, dressed in gothic style as her long black hair covered a part of her face. She carried a crossed hand bag as they entered in front of the building when their phone chimed. They stared at each other before reading the message.
What a beautiful day to start the year. Summer is officially over and school is back in session, and you what that means; spotlight at N.T.I.C university. As long as we are forced to coexist in this hell space, I am going to reveal the truth about each and every one of you. I know everything that went down this summer, and I'll take down seven of N.T.I.C's biggest offenders starting on Friday. Your host, the Ghost.
"What is this?" Sage asks as she puts her phone inside her bag in annoyance.
"I'm sure they got their idea from Gossip girl" Cory answers as he continued to stare at his phone.
"But this is the real world" she says prompting him to move towards the classroom.
"I know. Guess that's how…" phone rings before he could put it away. "Hold on. I have to pick this". Walks to other side of the hall.
"What now?" he says in irritation.
"I feel funny after that night" The girl on the phone seemed anxious as she answers his questions.
Are you…? He asked ready for a negative response.
"I don't know". He looked over as he saw his friends approaching sage, laughing in a distance. Not hearing a response on time, she continues "what should I do?"
He takes a deep breath as he responded "wait"
"Wait?" before she could finish, he cuts the call. He walked to his friends smiling as he shook stout's hands
"Who were you talking to?" One of them spoke, later identified as stout. He is short in height hence the name. He is dressed in baggy clothes as he gives the vibe of a yes-man.
"It's my mum". He answers fiddling his hands on his back pocket.
Why did she call? Thought you guys were having problems. Another one of his friends asked. He closed his mouth in a thin straight line. His black hair contrasted with his brown eyes as his rough outfit addressed him as irresponsible.
"Liver, you know she calls when she wants to send me". Chuckles. "she finally got that deal".
"Does this mean we are hitting club zero this night?" Savannah asks. She is Cory's girlfriend. Dressed in a tight black leathered jacket and a green-red checked bum shot with leathered boot as she cling on Cory's body.
"Sure babe". Just then, Cory spots Raymond talking to one of his course mates, he decided to call him to join as he is part of their group. "Raymond, Raymond" he waved his hand to the squirmy dude on glasses. He carried an old bag pack. On his hands were torn books. He gave a heavy sigh before approaching them.
"why are your eyes red?" Stout asked in concern. As he rubbed his head.
"Don't touch my head". He saw the dangerous look on Raymond's face before he reluctantly removing his hands. " I had a terrible dream that I killed you guys again. I can't sleep".
"It's just a dream" Savannah tries to assure him.
"I know. But…" hesitate before continuing. " I don't know what I'm going to do. The funny thing is… I enjoyed it. I'll see you guys later". Walked away in disarray.
"I hope he's okay?" another member of the group finally spoke, Dorcas. She is always seen as a very shy person. As she is average in height. Her blonde hair with a fringe merged with her round face giving her a fine face.
"He'll be fine" the school bell rings. Students rushed to their classes as they followed entering their various classes.
Raymond stood by the door as they left for their classes when he remembered something that happened at semester.
LAST SEMESTER
"I hate this school. Why would they move up our CSC 309 to Friday?" Savannah grunts in anger as they stood in front of a building complaining about their exam timetable.
"Raymond will have our back" Dorcas spoke as she focused on her phone.
" I can't. I have to prepare for my 4 unit swe301 exam. Raymond responds.
"I have an idea. But you won't like it". Liver looks at them as he studied their expression.
"What is it?" Sage couldn't take the suspense anymore.
"Raymond. Get back to class" the principal chased him out for his thought. He nodded his head before leaving.
