7 Grim Graves

Gluttony

My name is Jeremy. I'm Seventeen and I am slightly overweight. Just about 70 pounds over. I am a junior at my high school. Nothing special. I have adequate grades. I love to begin my day with some nice breakfast and then make my way to school. I live down the street from the school, so it's so easy to get there. At least I don't have to ride the overheated buses. Especially ones with the basketball team. Ughh, smelly. Especially after practice. They sit in the back. That's where the heaters are. Under their seats. Blowing overheated stench towards the others. Of course, they have no detection of their sense of their own fumes.

So I decided to walk to school. On the way, their people crowd the sidewalks in order to get their kids ready to cross the street to the elementary school. I walk further as I the normal groups on the schoolyard. Everyone dispersed to their friend groups. The only reason they are outside is the doors aren't unlocked until 7:00. They usually try to get there early. I walk further and get to the library's outer door. The librarian opens the door for me. Since I help with the books sometimes she allows me to enter.

I thank her and set my stuff on a random sofa in the room. I then push the book cart around and then sort the books out to their rightful categories. Grims, Rescues, Intimidators, Mysteries, Sacrifices, and other assorted categories. I put the books in their rightful categories and then exit to the halls. I head to the cafeteria and grab some extra snacks. Nothing much but granola bars and Gatorade. I grab 7 minibars and 7 quick drinks. I head down the hall and notice a poster. There's some kind of camping trip this summer. We go to the school's campgrounds for the first month of the summer. I wasn't so sure about it until I saw the ad for the weekly buffet. I grabbed the flier and stuffed it in my backpack.

I was excited. I finished all of my classes as I usually would and I rushed home. Gladly, my mother agreed. The school was over on Friday. So, all I had to do was wait a week. It was so normal throughout the week. On Friday, I walked to the office with my sleeping bag and money ready. I paid the secretary and went to our principal's office. Mr.G was sitting at his desk and looked at me with his haunting glare. Mr.G was the one principle that always gave me chills. There's something about him. He had a sense for creepy and just plain out weird things.

"Hey Mr.G who's hosting the camp out this weekend?"

"Well, I am of course. Strange though only three people actually signed up for it though. Someone seems to have stolen the poster. Too late it seems."

"I'm all ready to go, so where am I supposed to be headed?"

"We were going to take a school bus, but there are only three people taking the trip. Which means we're taking the school van."

I nodded and headed towards the front of the school. I saw the van through the doors. It was colored red and blue like our school. I walked through the front doors and put my bags in the back of the van. I go towards the door when I heard a familiar voice coming from the other side of the van.

"What's up pipsqueak?"

I turn around and see Dwight, the classic high school bully. I felt all hope for this trip drain that instant. He's been picking on me since I was in third grade. He's a plain out jerk. I have no idea why he picks on me. I don't talk to him. Honestly, I try to avoid him, and since I had already paid for the trip I have no choice but to deal with him. I let out a sigh and said,

"Nothing Dwight, Why are you going to this thing? I thought you were supposed to go to hell or something. Like scheduled."

He started to chase but by the time he had reached me Mr.G was there and stopped him dead in his tracks. He gave us a glare and closed the trunk. That's when the door opened. I turned to see Jeffree B. He was the biggest kid in the school. He was about 6,5 and over 280 pounds. He was always eating. Always. Even some of the bullies were afraid for his health. He walked forward and got in the van. The whole thing shook side to side as he got in. Dwight looked at me and said,
