NIGHTBLADE

Chapter 29

Hours flew by and they are still on the road. At one point, one of the tires of the bus flattened along the way but luckily they had a spare tire and they continued their journey. Sometimes they would park at a gas station to go to the restrooms.

Some of the students are watching videos or movies online while the others were taking a nap. Overall, it wasn't as bad as it looks.

After hours on the road, they arrived at a beach resort. Things are looking bright for them as they are as excited to get out of the bus and swim. By the time they were all booked in, they changed their clothes and went out to swim.

While the others are in the water splashing at each other and swimming around, Damian was just sitting on a foldable chair he borrowed from the reception and began reading a book he brought along with him.

Ann was just about to join the others until she saw him "You don't like to swim?" she asked,

Damian just shook his head, "Nah. I'm not that into swimming."

Ann just shrugged and swam with the others.

"Says the guy who can bend water to your will." Neon told him in his head,

'Don't push it.' Damian thought in his head, then went back to reading his book.

Later, after they freshened up and got a change of clothes, they went to a large room and played games. One of which is called, "Newspaper Dance". Last to survive, wins the game.

Before they played, they had to pick a partner. Almost all of the students of ABM22 picked their partners but Damian noticed that he doesn't have one. But just when he thought he would sit this one out, he was placed beside Justine.

'Oh boy. This is gonna be rough.' Damian thought, and the game has begun.

They had to dance around the newspaper while the music is still playing but when the music stops, they try to fit themselves on top of the newspapers. And in each round, they folded the paper in half to make it difficult.

It was already in the fourth song and the newspaper is folded to one-fourth. Just when the music stops, they all had to fit in the small paper. But Damian did the unthinkable.

Quick on his feet, he carried Justine in his arms and stepped on the folded newspaper. Little does he know that his other classmates were pretty shocked about that. He then gently put her down when the music starts to play. 

But the second time he did that move, he tripped over and fell to the floor. On the other hand, Justine landed on top of him. 

They both scrambled back up knowing that they were eliminated from the game
