Jason walked back home as always in deep thought, tomorrow is another school camping trip that though necessary will take several months before he will come back home. Cool wind blew pass his ear as the sent of damp sand hits his nose . How he loved it especially because it reminds him of the home he left years ago. He never expected to be in the US because he always disliked it, back in Nigeria he has always heard rumours about racism and crime in the US and even though crime was prevalent there in Nigeria and that killing people was as easy as plucking oranges from a short tree he always found contentment, and joy for he was also no stranger to joy and happiness and has never seen people killing people but only heard in news perhaps, because it was quite a large country.

Pushing his thoughts away he approached the door to the duplex his uncle built, where he now lived in. Opening it warmer air greeted him as he landed on a sofa breathing heavily with the relief that he was away from society the main reason why he didn't want to relocate to a new country. The house was quiet strangely in the evening because his uncle was surprisingly sleeping and his aunt still at work. Back home he was never use to this quiet because of his siblings and the neighbourhood where generators for electricity was a constant noise. Finally, he now had electricity constantly along with fresh water but he was still not happy. There though they had access to them they were not constant and weeks could go by without them . Perhaps, it's because he barely adapt to a new surrounding talk less of a new race that were extremely rare in Nigeria.

After the delicious dinner Jason carried himself upstairs to his unkempt room where he shoved his cloths on the closet leaving only his shorts on and went fast into the deep pit of sleep.

The next day, Jason made his way to school after breakfast and was soon in a bus with other students getting ready for the journey ahead. Observing his surroundings as usual his eyes soon caught sight of someone hair as golden brown as the soft soil and heavenly eyes that is blinding and brown skin that looks like chocolate vanilla his crush May. As she goes to her sit few sits in front of him he suddenly remembered just how much the girl drove him crazy . He started his crush on her since the very first day she welcomed him to class, but of course where ever there's a beautiful princess there's always an ugly Dragon that keeps a close eye on her. Mike, the bane of his life the white jerk have always bullied Jason to make things worse he is ALWAYS with May even right beside her in the bus but Jason never understood why.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakBTHDiTQ0
Soon the bus arrived at its destination "The Asterian Woods" and the beautiful site the camp has been set up. After the long boring rooming arrangements the place was enough for each student to have a room for themselves.

Jason after packing went outside the camp as usual enjoying the nature which he loved dearly just outside the camp . Jason sat down on a tree's enormous root when he suddenly thought that his eyes where deceiving him .May was coming right at his direction he then looked left and right to check whether there was anyone else but they weren't then he took a deep breath as she came closer
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGGiymlQCh
"Hey Jason ! "
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPZgCsu7gU
"H-hi"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZREcdTNfz
"we are going camping,would you like to...ugh" May stopped as Jason just stared at her with his mouth semi-open
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGesYHioZW2
*awkward what is wrong with this kid* May thought it was if he couldn't hear her.This wasn't the first time Jason did that
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB4GY0gsNv
"ugh... go on"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuXjSgDBOY

363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfOuduCEa7
"oh" May giggled "okay ! we're waiting" May said before leaving
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHwbmBFkcl
Jason stood up and followed her he could barely believe that he walking with her but before he could remember to think what she ment by "we" it was too late. Mike was as usual with her and he didn't look happy.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5vD0tYh56
Jason stopped moving for a moment before deciding that running away will be cowardly so he just kept moving with them . Mike who was then waiting patiently till May was a few blocks away pushed Jason to a tree
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3FK6flqFP
"Hey jerk"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvhpWy5Z8L
"let me be Mike"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXobmzUMXW
"listen if I ever see u close to her again..." punching Jason supposedly so his words will hit deeper "I'm going to make sure you regret it all ur life you imbecile"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdBGzbqRRb
"guys quite it and come take a look over here" May interrupted while Jason was about to try to defend himself
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToaOZsMWsx
Letting him go Mike ran towards her
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC6t8MIBVd
"what's up"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRurbFh3XB
*imbecile me !!, I'm not even that ugly* Jason thought , he was right his face looked innocent and adorable . Going there Jason looked towards where May was pointing and a few meters away was pitch black sand that seemed to be moving in a semi circular pattern
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhamiSwLSKK
"whoaw !! what the heck is that ?" May asked in amazement
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG3kd8kxxm
"I dunno, hey jer... sorry Jason go check it out " Mike said right when Jason was about to turn away.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU4ll1krXH
" No it could be dangerous "
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqaVAeYec6
"what !? it's just sand, are u scared? " May rebuked
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcCR59Rtfo
"coward" Mike insulted then May hit his hand "sorry"Mike apologised to her
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeefUI5ZTZ
*I'm not a coward * he thought as he went to the sand even though his mind kept warning him not to. He turned when he was right in the middle and said
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgESC9LiSW3
"it's nothing just s..."interrupted as something like a hand gripped his leg
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjLPQQ2qI9
"iiiiiiiiiii" May screamed
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuL4J78Vtw
Jason looked down as several series of black sandy hands started gripping him and pulling him to the ground. May rushed to help him but Mike grabbed her by the shoulder
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvael0rCM0D
"Are you insane" he said horror was written all over his face as he struggled and eventually dragged her back.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5TsyDpWfj
"help me !! he..." hands covered his face and his last sight was of the bully and his crush running away.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbyshfHJBo
They covered several miles running before they could stop to breath properly
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhroZx8S7Fg
"I ... I only told him" she managed to say while panting heavily "to check it out ! not to walk right into it"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuywSrJ6qI
"Hey ! ... calm down it's not your fault" Mike said reassuringly
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qxkrvNjl6
"it's not my fault !? Jason is dead Mike" May shouted at him, there was grief written all over her face and her heart kept pounding heavily as tears kept pouring out of her eyes. She was too sad to notice that Mike barely showed any emotion at all but only heard his reassuring words .He managed to calm her down enough to walk to the female students lodge after several hours of comforting and reassuring her.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtx7gO43EF
Noislessly entering the room Mike fell on top of his bed exhausted and brought out a magazine to read
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jgzlgXMLH
"who is it " Mike asked annoyed when he heard a knock on the door
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYj5ksKkKq
"Its me Mike" Liam his childhood best friend and classmate answered as he entered the room, knowing his friend well he expected him to be too lazy to get up.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEeOWNoOF5
"What's up"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCPXyV1TSh
"I should be asking you that question Mike ! what were you doing in the woods this late at night" Liam asked standing by the side of his bed andcombing his hair backwards with his other hand in his pocket. He gives Mike a serious look but he just keeps reading his magazine uninterested. Mike have always had pride for his friend's cool fringe hair style that matched his golden brown straight hair and his spectacles with the same golden brown colour perfectly and even usually try to imitate him but his hair is too wavy so he could never reach Liam's perfection.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i562qLBPC
"Nothing ! " Mike responded sharply
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8frAoPhVWN
Liam kept silent for a few minutes before sitting down on Mike's bed, wearing a worried look on his face he asked"Where's Jason Mike ! "
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvRONDwmJf
"why are asking ! am not his keeper Liam" Mike said not surprised at the question at all for he was well aware of his friend's cleverness
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk002XeULM
" This is the first night in two years that you did not complain to me about Jason"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3W1rmA3iv
"So we sorted things out "
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiCsgGvYZk
"Sorted things out ?" Liam said raising his voice before remembering that it ten'oclock close to midnight so he lowered his voice "If indeed you have sorted things out you should've told me first but, here you are lying on your bed reading a magazine...so I ask again Where is Jason ? Mike ! " Liam asked again, the redness growing in his white face told Mike that he was getting angry so he decided to take his friend more seriously. Pulling himself of the bed, Mike opened the door and looked left and right the hallway making sure that there are no students around, sure enough there weren't because most were already fast asleep in their rooms.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjvQuhN34d
"Listen, this may sound crazy" He said sitting down next to Liam and rubbing his hands together in preparation to tell his tale. Liam adjusted his spectacle with his finger opened his ears wide knowing fully well that this won't be a happy story.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZeIY63pdc
**" You remember the time the principal was giving rooming arrangements "**
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftISZWuCbC
"how can I not, You weren't there so I had to carry all the instructions that were ment for you including your luggage" Laim answered rolling his eyes I annoyance .
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQXTld2R9k
**"well I was in the woods exploring"**
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5hlan6m1S
"You were what ? "
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE8qBV9epq
**" shhh !! listen. So I was exploring the woods when something caught my eyes. Not too far 'way from camp there was this sand, not like an ordinary one cause it was pitch black and moving in a concentric circular motion.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAM4HuUC9V
I ain't stupid so I only got a bit too close to close to it but..."** he paused looking to his right and back at Liam demonstrating with his hands showing seriousness **" a hand ! a freaky black hand stretched out of the sand"**
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcwqxyoKy2
Liam's eyes grew wide, he never expected Mike to mention "a black hand" and there was no scientific explanation in his mind to say what it actually was
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgzNG023ez
**" I fell back fortunately, so it didn't get me. So then I had an idea, a really good payback"**
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2Jkpo6XNr
"oh no" Liam exclaimed silently putting his fingers on his forehead.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu66zutjZe
Mike continued putting a grim smile on his face **" so in the evening I made May bring Jason along with us for a stroll and I made them go towards the path where the sand was. Good enough May so it and called us and I told that idiot ! to check with out and May boosted him up so..."** smiling more in enthusiasm making his face look stupid and eviler
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3byWRu33Wu
**" the idiot walked right in the middle of the sand"** Liam stood up suddenly sweat trickled down his cheecks knowing what will happen next so Mike stood up too.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfmOG3CfbG
Demonstrating with his hands the more Mike continues **"the hands ! so many of them gripped the dumbass and buried him there and I grabbed my babe and we ran 'way from there"**
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm784OA5Ag
"oh my ! Jesus Christ !!" Liam exclaimed putting both hands in his head, his face grew pale and his heart pounded wilder on seeing the stupid look on his friend's sake, he had no idea of how bad what he had done is.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw58N2W2dv
"Why didn't you warn him" Liam shouted at him
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLULQPNKJA
"shhh !! shhh !! calm down"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNIXBz5JP9
"I'm not calming down Mike ! How do you think poor May will feel this is the second time your doing this to her'
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sSQ3MI5rU
"relax !! No one will find out, we didn't kill him you know"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKnvQBTnzp
" Are you stupid Mike !!! May is most likely not even sleeping now and first thing she would do tomorrow morning is to tell the police AND YOUR GOING TO PRISON MIKE !! A FREAKING PRISON "
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynJjnF56Jc
Mike's face suddenly turned pale and his eyes wide and grief stricken
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAA0FVHSSd
"oh no...your your right !" he stammered
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuhEqEI6C4
"ofcourse I'm right Mike ! I'm always right, why do you keep doing this to your self. This is the tenth time your getting yourself in trouble because of DAMN ! girls and the second time your risking a decade and this case the rest of your life behind bars MIKE !!" shouting his name out loud at this a student knocked at the door shocking them down to their spines.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiBku8BCvz
"He...hey what's up" Liam asked faking a smile when he opened the door to check who it was.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPSuRrhV9L
"Hi Liam what's with the noise man" the student asked sleeping
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8tMLUGnNI
"sorry we were... ehh playing vedio games"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddi8FONaHa
"uh you know that isn't allowed here... well keep it down"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9rG2y8iPt
"oh sorry ! sorry !" Liam apologised while closing the door.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuFrCxzlTL
He turned and looked at Mike who is now sited crying on his bed
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP1c6GmCyh
"Hey don't worry I... I'll fix it" He said reassuring him
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUvwU4Jw7z
"You will..." Mike asked subbing "how ?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv7DlbZ7V6
"I'll talk to May and after tomorrow we can continue to pretend that we know noting...she's a good actor she can do it"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv8UzDY8Ij
"ok buddy thanks..." Mike said shedding tears in gratitude "I will never ever do anything like this ever again"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zOmD25smR
"alright I'll be going, whish me luck mate"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQgjxCaRIU
" 'K thanks buddy" he said cleaning his eyes and lying down on his bed wishing Liam the verg best of luck.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q4iFPIjzi
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrTs7TYuR1
Liam managed to sneak through the girl's room undetected and slowly approached May's room, his heart race as he walked closer but then...
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHadtuJxyY6
"Hi Liam" Stacey his classmate shouted out loud behind him obviously catching him sneaking red handed.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rrWXyfkP4
"Hush !!" Liam said eyes wide with his middle finger on his lips urging her to be quiet
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDNhvOT8tn
"oh sorry" she said quietly putting both hands together trying to look as apologetic and as cute as ever "what are you doing here" she said blinking waving her body to and fro.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx3z9Agl8f
Liam wore an "ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME, RIGHT NOW !?" look on his face but just smile and gave her the silliest excuse ever, which she believed and hopped back to her room with her pony blonde hair dangling behind her.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qmVKCaD6y
Liam finally knocked on May's room but entered when she didn't reply. He caught her with her head buried on her knees weeping on her bed
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1yVnl1hTl
"Hey !... May !" He called calmly
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoMsbgFuUn
"yes !" she answered still crying profusely
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9HPAdVa2J
He then knelt down before her and said "Mike told me what happen how are you feeling"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v4eUVbpvh
After a few seconds of silence she raised her head up and answered " guilty !... very very guilty" sobbing "I only told him to check it out... why...why did he walk right into it" he said looking at him. Her dark brown eyes depicted fear and guilt.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNsg4E6oZ2
"Hey it's not your fault, what has happened has happened "
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGbuBQewfc
"yeah I know but now I have to suffer for it. Tomorrow I'm telling the cops first thing" she said confirming Liam's worst fears
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLbEBosAN8
"Hey hey !" he said holding her checks "you loved Jason right ?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgToBFWTI1g
"ho...how did you know" she said her eyes growing wide with surprise
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6u2RBASGK
"he would've wanted you to live out your life and not suffer in prison"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEUWeYg9gn
" After ending his !? "
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKr5IMSOS6
" Hey he must've known that it wasn't your fault... did you push him inside the sand "
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZLJObDWav
" No"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy3eAjUyj3
"Did you force him"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKM7hlHHGM
"NO !!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AzMTSGmYF
"Then why are you blaming yourself" he said slowly lifting her head up and cleaning her tears with her long dark brown hair
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KMhlTBeVt
"Yeah !!" she said bringing back some light on her beautiful face " I didn't cause his death he did in a way... though it's my fault but I shouldn't go to prison..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I4KYRp0vB
"because it's not, so listen"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8C3SYQl80
"yeah "
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJdABChK3Y
"tomorrow we are going to pretend that nothing happened okay"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwN36T5KOa
She remained silent for some time then nodded in agreement.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcPfipuT3e
"If we're asked we act, can you do that ?" Liam asked slowly smiling to brighten her mood then put back his serious face
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡild5aO4Uod
"sure I can" she replied "thanks Liam" she said wiping off her tears she should've hugged him standing but she was relatively shorter than him so they hugged knelt down instead. Accomplishing his mission he left not noticing Stacey and her worried look.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZpTezgqa1
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi9hL5nKAy
Mike immediately opened the door when he heard the knock and saw Liam
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk2DubUftx
"Hey how did it go ?"he asked worried
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dVt2RLSAT
"it went well" Liam answered entering his and wearing a smile to warm Mike up
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NjmvrY8RA
"thank God ! " Mike gasped closing the door and landing on his bed
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uQjmWznrq
"Hey make sure you never do anything like this ever again." He said still standing then he sat on the bed "Hey bro look at me" Mike turned his head looking at Liam curiously.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuSoPGW4jj
"Girls are not everything don't do crazy things just to win them because one day..." he paused "one day I may not be able to help you. Always think my friend THINK !! before doing anything" Mike nodded as he speak words penetrating deep into his heart
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuAexpkB6e
"I just hope what you do never catch up with you before you change " Liam said finally leaving Mike's room.
