HOUSE OF HADES

Chapter 22

The next morning, everyone gathers to say goodbye to Trudy.
Trudy cries and hugs everybody.
"Trudy," Jamal cries,"We're so sorry."
"It's my fault," Trudy says,"for believing your stupid stories."
Victor comes. "Your cab is here, Trudy."
"Why are you doing this?" Elayna remarks. "Trudy didn't do anything wrong!"
Victor ignores her.
They all watch as Trudy leaves.

At breakfast, instead of being served eggs or pancakes, Victor serves the students porridge and stew.
"Ew." Tyler winces.
"I think I'm gonna throw up!" Hunter laughs.
"Eat it or you will have no food." Victor states.
"We'll just wait for lunch at school!" Elayna says.
They all get up and leave, going into the main entrance.
There, they find people setting up security cameras.
"What?!" Jamal gasps.
"This is so unfair!" Mark shouts.
"Since Trudy isn't here to supervise you," Victor smirks,"these cameras will do the trick."
~
At school, Mark talks to the Gym teacher, Mrs. Robinson.
"Are there any available careers in sports?" He asks.
"Oh, yes! Plenty!" She exclaims. "However, if you want to start one...... You need a lot more training."
~
Mark goes to Savanna.
"I decided to start training for a sports career!" He smiles.
"That's great!" Savanna smiles. "Do you want me to help you train?"
He laughs. "Like you know anything about sports!"
"I bet I know more than you!"
Hunter hears them and runs to them. "Bet? What bet?"
"Savanna thinks she knows more about sports than me." Mark laughs.
"It's time for a little contest." Hunter smirks.
~
In the lounge, everyone gathers to see Mark and Savanna compete.
Hunter and Tyler come.
"Welcome to the competition!" Tyler laughs.
Mark and Savanna come.
Hunter begins. "First question; what is soccer called in Brazil?"
"Futbol!" Savanna shouts.
"Correct!" Hunter gasps.
Time goes on and Savanna answers each question right.
Mark answers some right, but Savanna wins the majority.
"And the winner is Savanna!" Tyler announces.
Everyone cheers.
"This has to be a joke!" Mark storms off.
~
After school at Hades House, Elayna goes to Mark.
"Did you apologize to Savanna for what you did?" She asks.
"Why should I?" Mark groans.
"Her parents are both professional sports players! That's why she knows so much! It was never a joke, Mark."
~
In Elayna and Savanna's room, Mark goes to Savanna.
"I'm sorry about earlier." Mark says. "What can I do to make it up to you?"
"Let me train you for the sports career." Savanna grins.
"Fine." He laughs.
~
In Annika and Danya's room, the Sibuna club gathers.
"Rufus isn't picking up his phone!" Elayna exclaims. "This is like Sami all over again."
"Except we don't know what happened to Sami." Jamal points out.
"They said that Sami is dead." Danya says.
"Just don't mention it!" Elayna shouts. "I already got really upset before."
"Anyways," Annika interrupts,"We have to find out a way to get those security cameras down. Or else there's no way we'll be able to sneak around everywhere."
"I have a plan." Elayna grins. "Sibuna."
They all do the Sibuna signal, putting one hand over one eye.
