They say nothing, nor do I.įinally, I see light. Someone bumps into me and I stumble into the person in front of me. Without another thought, I step down into the black hole, the chatter following. When it’s my turn to go down, I hesitate. It’s so loud that the chatter in my ears helps to drown out the questions racing through my mind. Like flies, they drop one by one, and that’s when I realize everyone is descending through a hole in the ground. Pushing myself up on my tiptoes, I try to see where they’re all disappearing to, but it’s too crowded to see anything but more people. I should make sure she’s okay.” I pick up my pace, hurrying to catch up with everyone.īefore long, I’m mixed in with the group as we step under a cement overhang. “Of course,” I say, sarcasm apparent, “wouldn’t want to keep the leaders waiting.” They like to humiliate anyone who’s late.” He’s actually a pretty good-looking guy, if you’re into the preppy, nerdy type.Įlias nods toward the open space in front of us and I realize we’ve fallen behind the group. They’re as bright as mine, but with tiny specks of black on his irises. He pushes his glasses up his slender nose and I note his blue eyes. We’re standing under one of the overhead lights, and I get a better look at him. “I think she’s officially lost her mind.”Įlias gets off the ground and offers me his hand, which I accept.
“Yeah.” I lean to the right, trying to see where they went, but all I see is a cloud of dust as the students come together again and continue toward the tunnels. On another note, I think I found your friend.” They ride wherever they want and pay no regard to anyone in their way. I push myself up and wipe the dirt from my jeans. I’m still on the ground, watching as the crowd parts for the driver and what appears to be my roommate. My heart leaves my body as I fall back on Elias and we both hit the ground. The wind from its high speed causes my hair to whip against my face. I’m pulled back at the same time the bike comes flying past me. The driver is wearing a helmet, so I’m not able to see his face, but he’s got a passenger behind him with hands wrapped snug around his waist. I follow the direction of their stares, looking over my shoulder.ĭirectly in front of me is a dirt bike coming at full speed.
The distant sound of a revved-up engine grabs everyone’s attention.
