Ch. 2 I Get Trapped In a Banquet Hall

        ”I have to make it! I have to keep going!” I thought as I forced myself up the rope. ”I won’t stop!”

”I…can’t…fail…”

BRRRRRRAADING!

”That’s the bell, people! Gym class is over.”

Fortunately enough, I was already falling off the rope.

On the down side, I was falling off the rope.

”YAAARGH!”

I luckily hit the mat below, otherwise I would have broken about three different places. I struggled to get up, but as I did, I saw The Duct.

The Duct was a strange air duct that nobody knew what was behind it. Everyone was always daring friends to look, but nobody ever got the guts. I glanced to kinda peek inside.

As I did, I started seeing a little blue, but then felt warmth. Like I was just happy.

”Todd! What are you doing! We have to get to English class!”

Like I wasn’t in school, and wasn’t failing P.E.

”Sorry, Taylor! Coming!” I chased after her.

After the day, I was glad it was gong to be the weekend. I was looking forward to a relaxing Friday evening that day. Then mom had to come to my room to ruin it.

”Todd, I want you to dress up for tonight.”

”What!? Why?”

”Well, I thought we could spend this day together at a banquet. It’s for the director of that new company, Pocket Man.”

I sighed. It was typical mom tactic. Use the ”Together as a family” trap so I couldn’t refuse. I knew there was nothing I could do.

Later, I was at the banquet and bored out of my mind. I looked around for someone I knew. I found the company director, who stood talking to my mom. He looked WAY too happy, even too happy for a normal banquet. What was going on with him?

Suddenly, a alarm went off, and people were saying it was a toxic contamination alarm. Why the place had an alarm for that, I have no idea. Security guards rushed to get people out, and I tried to get out. I unfortunately tripped over a guards leg as he rushed to get out himself. I got back up and tried to get out, but as I reached the door, it slammed shut in my face.

A little girl’s voice gasped, and I saw I wasn’t alone. There was an older kid, and he was dressed in a purple tuxedo (What?) and pounded to try to get the door open. A girl about my age comforted a little girl about in 2nd grade.

I suddenly heard a clank, and turned as two small metal balls landed behind us and began emitting gas. I inhaled some before I could think and became tired. I fell asleep suddenly. I was only able to see the balls as they filled the building with a gas before I blanked out.
