____________________________________________

Me, Hap, Pam and Ben are currently sitting on the ground. Forming a circle. We are planning on what to do.

"Should we leave or should we stay?" Hap questioned. Looking at each one of us.

"I think we should leave. There's those spiders there. It would be stupid if we stay here" Ben said.

"If we leave, where should we go?" I asked. "The entire city is now full of monsters. We can't just go out. We would be killed the moment we leave"

"What's your plan then?" Pama asked as he stood guard at the doorway.

"How about... We make this school our base" I announced. They gave me a blank look.

"You're an idiot" Pam stated. Still guarding the doorway. The others agreed at his statement.

"Think about it. The school is large and spacey. Each room could be used for specific purposes. Not to mention the school is near many stores and malls"

"He has a point" hap commented "But the problem is... Those damn spiders. didn't you see how big those bugs are?" He continued, voicing his concern.

"We could deal with first before operation: Fortify" I said.

"Operation: Fortify? What do you think this is? 40K?" Pama said. His voice slightly getting higher.

"What do you want us to do then?" I said, rolling my eyes.

"We could go to the mall and-" Pama didn't finished his sentence when I interjected.

"And what? Go shopping? Did you not think that maybe the mall have something far worse than spiders living there?"

"It's a risk we are willing to take" he glares at me. I glared back.

"Guys. Let's not fight" Hap said. Trying to stop the hostility that was slowly approaching between us.

"Risk huh. What if this risk is far more than we can handle. Can you take the responsibility of us dying to a painful death?" I said. My voice getting higher.

"It's far better than staying here and waiting to die from those damn spiders" he remarks.

"Yeah. Then-" I didn't when Hap shoved his hand on my mouth. Preventing from talking back.

"Would you two please shut up, before those damn spiders know where we are?" He glares at both of us. "Ben! What do you think?" He looks at Ben. Who've been silent for sometime now.

"Both of their opinions are... Logical. Pama is right about not staying here due to the spider infestation" Pama smirked as he heard Ben agreeing to his words. "But Ron is also right about the mall maybe being home to something far more deadlier than these spiders" I puffed my chess up and smirked. Pama only scoffed.

"Then... What do we do?" Hap asked. Hoping Ben could give them the answer.

"We should stay" he said. Pama was surprised by Ben's decision.

"Hehe! I win" I laughed in victory.

"What?! But-" he stuttered.

"You didn't let me finish. We will stay here momentarily until we have gathered enough resources and materials that would aid us when we go to the mall. Agreed" he finished. Me and Pama stared at him for a moment before we looked at each other and nodded.
