CAUSING TROUBLE

We were separated into 4 equal teams. Team A, B, C, and D. I am in team A. My team consists of my best friend, Sarah, Angela and her dogs Pam and Rola, Mike, Benjamin, and me.

Sarah is the daughter of a minister. She had a kind personality but it's just that she was impulsive and hot - tempered. She was beautiful, she had a big round eyes and a black shiny hair.

Angela was the daughter of the Prime Minister which explains why she is always arrogant. She was skinny, had a shoulder length red hair and an average looking face. Pam and Rola were twins they were being adopted by Angela's family that is why they were always following her. They would look exactly the same if it wasn't for their hair. Pam had a purple hair while Rola, on the other hand, had a black hair

Mike was the son of a minister also. He had a lean body and a handsome face. He was the type every girls would go crazy for.

Benjamin's background was unknown of. He has always been quiet and mysterious. No one knows a much about him. He had a unusual pair of green eyes which were captivating.

" Clank! Clank! Clank!" the nanny used the metal pot and metal scoop and bang them together to make the sound in order to wak us up. " Gather around the field by 5.30am anyone who is late will be severely punished! " the nanny shouted across the whole dormitory and left. Almost immediately, everyone sat up and start preparing themselves. As our dormitory is shared by both boys and girls so everyone would changes in the toilet.

I opened up my cabinet to search for my uniform and realised that my uniform is missing. It must be Angela! " Looking for something? " I turned around immediately and saw Angela standing behind me grinning, behind her were her two loyal dogs, Pam and Rola.

" Return me my uniform! " I said firmly. I'm not afraid of her and probably because of that, she picked on me every time she found an opportunity to do so

" Don't accuse me of something I've never done! " Angela said with a grin that admits her doings.

Sarah, my best friend, stood up suddenly and said, "Are you sure? " with a firmed look on her face.

" Fine! It's me! What are you going to do about it? " Angela said while laughing with the intend to provoke us and cause more troubles so that we would get punished as the nanny had always been biased towards her. She would definitely act like a victim so that she would not get punished too.

However, according to Sarah's temper she immediately grabbed Angela's collar and raised her right arm up to the punching position. Before she could land her fist onto Angela's face, I immediately stood up and stop her from doing that.

" Sarah, I will settle this by myself, " I said hoping that she can sense my signals. Thankfully, she understands what I am trying to tell her. She gave me a slight nod before releasing Angela reluctantly.

" What do you want me to do? " I said knowing that that was a stupid question. Angela smiled. I knew she would want me to do something that goes beyond my limits. I felt like I have dug a hole for my to jump in it.

"I want you to crawl like a dog."

"You.. " Sarah stood up for me but I stopped her. "Riley.... are you going to do it?"

I gave her a weak smile and proceed to put my both hands on the floor.

"Riley! I have extra uniform in my cabinet," it was definitely not Sarah who said that, it was someone with a much deeper voice.

I stood up straight and turned around immediately to the direction of the sound. It was Mike. He just came back from the toilet along with Benjamin. Mike smiled, gesturing me to follow him, as he walked towards his cabinet.

" Hmph! " Angela marched away with her gang as she could not achieve her goal. They shot me a dirty look before grabbing their uniforms and rushed towards the toilet as it was already 5.20am.

Mike passed me the extra pair of uniform and gently asks " Do you want to change here?Benjamin and I can leave the room first. "

I understood what Mike means but I knew that Angela and her gang would not find trouble for me right now as we did not have much time left so I politely rejected him. Benjamin stayed quiet all the time. It was easy overlook his presence sometimes. I took the uniform from Mike and rushed towards the toilet with Sarah. As expected, Angela and her gang did not cause anymore troubles for us. They just shot us some dirty looks before rushing towards the field.

We hurried down as quickly as we could. Once we reached there, Benjamin and Mike was already there. I heaved a sigh of relief that they were able to made in time. Angela and her gang were smirking at us. That's when I realised the officers were all looking at me, frowning.

" The true hell is waiting for us! " Sarah muttered under her breath but loud enough for me to hear

I replied with a weak smile in an attempt to calm Sarah down a little even though I can literally hear my heartbeat pounding faster than a race car.
