Dark Hell

Chapter 2

I was hoping to see a word on the other page but it's all blank.

"See! It's no use! Come on guys, let's go to the café. I'm starving." Stanley said.

"Great! Now we just wasted a minute just to open that Dark... What book is that again?" I said.

"It's Dark Hell." Answered Mike.

"Whatever! Let's just go." I say "Come on guys. Hey Ben, throw that thing away or just return it to where you get okay?"

He nodded.

We are about to go when we saw Ben still staring on that black book.

"Ben?" I called him "are you coming?"

"Yeah. Just... Go. I'll go there later."

"Okay. But promise me to throw that book away, okay." Said Eddie.

"Okay." Ben answered then we went out on the library.

--**--

We're here at the cafeteria waiting for Ben. I wonder what his up to... He's been fifteen minutes late.

The door opens as a chubby guy enters. Good thing he's here now.

"Why took you so long?" Asks Beverly.

He shrugged. "Just passed by to my locker."

"Really?" I said not believing what he say. "Where did you throw the book?"

"I return it under the shelves." He sighed.

I shake my head incredulously. Ben is sweating. Well, maybe he ran after us.

He sits down beside Mike and eat the burger that was meant for Stan. Poor chubby guy. He's looks hungry.

Stan has no problem with it. Ben is usually doing it and you know Ben, he needs a lot of food.

"So, where we're going after graduation?" I say "Do you guys have plans for that?"

Eddie raised his hands.

"Me!" He say while chewing some fries "I do."

"What is it?" We asked.

"How about a camping. On the... Riverdome."

My eyes narrowed at him.

"Are you serious?! That place is too dangerous. Ancient said, whoever went there... And no one heard about them until now." Richie looked tensed.

"That's why it's exciting! And it's not really true." Eddie mutter.

"Maybe he's right." Said Richie.

"Okay then, well talk about it after graduation. Let's now focus on our studies, and besides, exam is near." I said as I eat my cake.

We went back to the school after our conversation. I decided to pass by to my locker before going to my next subject.

My friends waits for me so we could go along the room. I saw Belch with his friends; Henry and Patrick walking towards us.

My locker is beside Belch's. I smell war is about to start.

"Hey little guy," he said peering into his locker. "So your friend Eddie Wogg is suspended after punching my face yesterday, but I haven't have my vengeance yet, so can I do it right now?"

"No, you can't," I said with a gritted teeth. "You are the one who's bullying and your trying to say now that it's our fault? Did we do something wrong to you and your... Pathetic friends?!"

"Yes. He stole my lucky charm on my bike."

I gaze my sight to Eddie seeing him looking down.

I heard Ben burst laughing after what Belch said.

"Really? Oh Belch, for Pete's sake, you're acting like a dumb kid!"

"Am I? Well, let's see who's the dumb kid now!" He said and was about to punch Ben but stops when we heard Mrs. Wilcox clears her throat.

"What's going on here?" She asks.

Belch looked shameful.

"Belch, this is my last warning to you and I don't want to see your face on my office but if this will happen again, you know what waiting..." She warned.

"Sorry, Maam." Belch apologizes.

"Good. Now all of you, go to your respective classrooms and I will assume that no fighting will happen ever again, especially you three!" Mrs. Wilcox said pointing Belch and his friends.

"I promise, Mrs. Wilcox." He assured.
