Walking into the other room, Cory and Shelby's eyes fell directly upon the yellow four pointed star in the other room. Shelby pointed at it happily.
"Cory look! Another Star!"
She said, smiling. Cory nodded.
"I can see. Wanna touch it?"
He asked. Shelby didn't answer him, and just tapped it with her finger lightly. The same screen as earlier came up, but a different quote ran through her mind.
Playfully crinkling through the leaves fills you with DETERMINATION
The screen appeared as usual, and when Shelby touched it, a different location appeared on the screen.
"OK, I think it worked. Cory, your turn!"
Shelby said. Cory sighed.
"Since when did you get so cheerful?"
He asked, doing the same thing as Shelby until the screen vanished when he was done. Nodding, the two went even deeper into the ruins, heading downwards, and then taking a left. Once they entered another room, one with holes over the floor, things got difficult.
"So... we just walk across the floor, right?"
Shelby asked, poking the floor with the tip of her foot. Immediately, the floor broke under what weight she put on it. Cory pulled her back as the part she tapped completely fell apart.
"Seems theirs a path that we should follow... I'm going to check the journal if theirs an answer in there."
Cory said, pulling his journal out of his backpack, and flipped through the earlier pages. He nodded.
"Got it. OK, Shelby, follow me."
He said, gripping the girls wrist and towing her through the broken down pathway. Shelby peeked a glance at his journal, only to find a full fledged diagram inside. She whistled, quite impressed as they made it onto solid ground. Shelby grinned happily.
"Good job Cory!"
She said, cheering for her slightly emo friend. Cory sighed.
"Whatever. Let's move."
He said, walking into the next room, Shelby right behind him, happily walking with no concern whatsoever.
Jess's group was hiding behind a bunch of bushes as Jin and the others were searching the area for them, soda bottles in hand. Max growled menacingly.
"I want to sock some people today... but we're a bit out ranged."
Max said, punching his hand into his fist. Adam tossed a rock lightly into the air, which looked like it didn't leave his hand in the slightest.
"I agree, but..."
Adam pulled his arm back, and threw the rock at an incredible rate, socking the cronie who threw the bottle at Jess right in his manly spot. Everyone behind the bush giggled, or was plainly impressed.
"Woah... not bad Adam."
Red said. Ross smiled a bit.
"We should have some time now. Let's get out of here."
He said, grabbing Max's arm and pulling him to the main pavilion, everyone else on their tail. From there, Jess led the way to their room at the hotel, laughing while panting once the got back.
"We just sprinted halfway across the camp... oh geez..."
Max said, his hands on his knees, panting. Barney laughed.
"Thatz how itz dones!"
He said, high fiving Red who fell backwards onto a bed. Ross was on the same bed, but was holding up his book, and was reading it happily. Adam sighed, and sat on the floor.
"Regardless... whens the next group gonna go in? The trips gonna end in a few days, and people are gonna ask us where they are."
He asked the group. Ross raised his arm.
"My schools trip here is next week. Max doesn't go to my school but he usually comes to visit on the trip."
He said. Max nodded. A banging was then heard on the door. Adam sighed.
"I'll get it."
He said, gripping the doorknob, before the door was kicked open entirely. Jess groaned.
"Are you kidding me? This trip is going crazier and crazier every second we get..."
She said.
"Whadda want Jin?"
She said, sitting straight up. Jin laughed.
"Well... you did run from me earlier, plus you did ruin my spat with that girl earlier... I think its only fair I get some revenge. Plus, you messed up my boys. Only I get to do that. Now... hold still. This is gonna hurt a lot."
Jin said, a crooked grin on his face, a baseball bat in his hand, ready to bang someones head in.
