Chapter Sixty-nine
Elena’s pov
“Mac had told me there was going to be a shortcut for our survey and for some reason I trusted him and followed him into the woods and got lost” I knew my acting skills were horrible, judging from the look Mac was giving to me.
“Mr. Mac, is this true?” The supervisor asked shifting his scary face away from me.
“Yes sir, I had thought that we could use this survey opportunity to bond together, this was my fault and I am sorry. I went into the woods to search for her and here she is” He kept a strict face while narrating everything.
“I don’t know what to say, but then, I need you both to know that Principal Alice would be really going nuts right now if she was the one that got hold of this story” We didn’t say anything but awaited his verdict.
“You both can go back to your camp and rest. Tomorrow, we would all be heading back to school and there would be lots of explaining to do” I wasn’t scared of what the outcome of the meeting would be tomorrow, I guessed mingling with Mac was having a great effect on me.
Once we stepped out of the camp, Mac was the first to erupt into a fit of laughter and I wondered what he found funny.
“What’s funny?” I asked looking around and searching through my memory for anything I had said that could make him laugh, but none.
“Your acting skills suck babe, you need to go polish it up” I rolled my eyes at him, he was getting back to being a douchebag again.
“Well it’s not my fault that I am not a liar like you” I retorted back and he held his hand in surrender.
“Easy there tiger, I know you want to claw your hands at me for making you lie, but as someone once said; it-is-best-for-business” I rolled my eyes at him and was about to go when he drew me back.
“You leaving?” He asked staring at me in the eye, while my entire body rested on his.
“No, I was hoping I could go back to the bush.” I opted for sarcasm.
“And there is no good night kiss from me? You avoid the first one but I am sure he wouldn’t allow you to avoid the second one” I rolled my eyes at him and gave him a quick kiss.
“No, no, no! I am not taking that for a kiss. I want a long passionate kiss babe” For Christ’s sake! When did he become this clingy?
“Alright,” I surrendered and he smiled, leaning forward and capturing my lip in a deep kiss, our breath fanning each other and he was trying to dominate.
“You hormonal teenagers should learn to keep it PG!” We broke out of the kiss and turned to see Sophia staring at us with a smirk on her face.
I should have known that girl was a creep. I turned and looked at Mac one last time, he kissed me on the forehead and left.
I watched as he jogged back to his camp.
“Tell me you are in love” I almost yelped, hearing someone speak through my ears.
“Sophia, can you stop being so weird?” She laughed and raised her hands in surrender.
“What’s up for dinner though” I was starving and it was at this moment I realized it.
“You should call yourself one helluva lucky person, I left a sandwich under my bed hoping I would eat it later but then it is always nice to share” I looked at her with cute eyes, she had just saved me from the torment of hunger, which seemed to have vowed to hunt me this night.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Come on now, I will be sleeping in your camp” I declared and she shrugged, saying;
“My sister is with Dan tonight, guess he got tired of your boyfriend and decided to switch to his friend.” I didn’t want to insult Tisha right before Sophia but then again, the girl was a cheap slut.
“We should talk about this some other time, for now, I am starving and I need food,” I said dragging her away and heading to her camp.

The Next Day….
“Your actions are unbelievable! Both of you” You probably guessed right, we were standing and facing the panel of the school, right after our bus had arrived.
It turned out that the Principal was a big fan of Mac and thus pet him, while I got my ass chewed- note the sarcasm.
Heck, she was chewing us in half and handing the remaining piece left to her other staff, who also gave us a piece of their own mind.
I stared absentmindedly thinking of other things and wasn’t even concentrating.
“Do I make myself clear!” I looked up from my thoughts to see everyone was staring at me and when I turned to look at Mac, he had a smirk on his face.
“Miss Elena, I repeat myself again. If I ever hear any bad report about you, I will put you on suspension. Do I make myself clear?” Oh! So that is what she was saying.
I simply nodded, and just when she was about to speak other profanities that I was not ready to listen to, a student barged into the room.
“What in Poseidon’s testicles are you doing here!” resisted the urge not to laugh at the curse word and the metaphor she had used all together.
“A student has been brutally murdered outside” Everyone including myself stood up and rushed out of the boardroom.
Mac held my hand as we ran down the walkway to see that everyone was gathered outside the school premises.
We made our way through the crowd to see the horrid sight before us;
A young guy who was probably a freshman was butchered into so many parts.
I had the urge to puke but I tried holding myself. My eyes were suddenly drawn to the letter on his chest which read;
One by one, they are all going to die. Come to the Club alone at 9 pm tonight.
It was weird and I knew this was a message to someone, but to whom was it written?
