Trouble In Paradise

11:45am; School Diner Hall, Royal Hearts College.

Dear Journal…

Tolu heaved as he sat down and then looked around him. He was with his journal, his pen in his right, sweaty hand as be prepared himself to get writing. It had become a thing of habit now to write his daily activities in his journal. After all, he was not like Sam.

Sam had a ton of friends or at least, those trying to get in his good graces. He was different. He was not the head boy and did not have all that athletic charisma that Sam had. At a time like this, he surveyed, Sam and the others he had come in with exchanging mini conversations with others.

That was something he could not enjoy. After all, he had very little friends, if at all he had any. And to make up for this, he had taken to be the best friend of himself.

Now was just about that time.

------

It’s been how many days since the virus spread out already? I would not know. I don’t think I bothered to keep tabs on that but trust me, it has not been long. I am just too lazy to bother with that.

We’re back in the dining hall now. It had been a blast though. And while they had been an underlying issue of death-believe me, these monsters don’t care of you have noble intentions or not, they want to eat you regardless. - It had been amazing for me.

And I want to believe it is the same for Sam, as well. You know, Sam did met Angela and I can bet my evening meal that he has something going for her. After all, she is the daughter of one the elites in the country. So why not?

The dinner hall that we are in is built in an L shape. It was the one which we had all been able to hole up in since the virus had begun. It is not a high level storey. Just a storey building with one floor. The one above is the one where a dorm is located in.

the main entrance of the Hall is where we had come in from. This means that we are occupying ground floor. And even now, I cannot help shiver as I write. What fi the monsters out there final decided that they had had enough of being starved and March to the hall?

It is not like there is anything to deter them from doing that. I know, there is the work of the 3D there but then what if those guys fail at it?

You don’t understand? Ok, Journal, just you wait and see. I would make sure to explain everything that I know about this so that you would not be lost in the dust of this.

Let’s start from the simplest part of it all.

First of all, the hall is in shape of large plus sign. The topmost part, the head lies in conjunction with the passage that leads to the kitchen. So you see, both sides are close at hand. Then the adjacent cross, one that faces the School field is the one that has the main entrance door. The other side of it faces the wall that is where the dinner generator is located at.

The one that well, you know, we almost got into trouble in deliberating about the noise of turning it on it is not noiseless, you know. And so far, noises has been a great way to attract those monsters. You know, like zombies. Except that these are not zombies. They are reptilian creatures with the tails and the scaly noses and all.

Anyways, dear journal, the hall contains a lot of us. Which is not easy by any means to keep silent and all that. But tat is where the 3D Gang comes in.

3D because the three of them have their names stating with a D. And because they are always together. Talk about flex life.

Friendships are hard to keep these days but these ones simply have it going for them so easy. It is like life is in favor of them anyways.

Dafe is the lead guy. The only guy amidst them. He has the innate ability to move things no one else can. This should not pass as a power but then Dafe is not muscular to think that it is result of his body building. He is pretty scrawny so the only logical way of putting this is that he has the power of super strength.

Daniella who is the key figure here has the ability to crate illusions. I can’t wrap my head around how that works but so far, it works in keeping us safe. No matter the noise that is made in the dinner hall, with her power, the monsters can keep getting deceived and misled from the hall.

She is essential to our survival here. Although when she is tried, she gets really sloppy. Plus, she really can’t be up all day. There are time when she needs to sleep too. That is where the last person comes to play too.

Then the next person who is also essential to our survival is the person of Dayo. If you thought Daniella’s power was weird then you have no idea what this is. Dayo has a very simple skill. And that is, the ability to boost other people powers. So, if you combine Dafe and Daniella, there is really nothing anyone can do to hold water against the 3 of them.

If I said it was simple, forgive me. Its not. ‘Cause how the heck are you able to just, boom, then someone has more than what he is usually capable of? It is crazy.

Even more crazy is the fact that today, I finally was able to get my own power too. It is not as pretty when compared to the others of the 3D Gang but it is something. At least, 3d gang who think they do run this place would have to sit back some while.

You know, when they are so powerful and essential to our wellbeing, they let that get into their head. Don’t get me wrong. It is Sam running the show as head boy but then he needs them to help out. And then, there as me.

But now that I do have a power now, I am sure that would balance things up now. Now again, there is Angela on the show… and Divine.

Even though I am don’t really like her, having the both with me would keep the 3D gang back in their place. Sigh.

I am really looking forward to when Sam would get his own power. It has been long overdue.

If anyone deserves to have one, then it is him.

Sam is the brains behind this operation.

Dear Journal, there is so much to talk about. And I fear that if I have to go about them in details, I would drone out the pages I have left here.

Then again, do you remember what Sam was trying to say to me? I am worried. I didn’t let him finish because just then, we saw Angela. But now that we are back, my curiosity has gotten the best of me nw. I should go to see him and ask him about it. –

Tolu paused writing as he took in a deep breath. He had been at it so far and had not bothered to look around so he had lost out in what was happening in the hall. Now that he had recalled the memory of what Sam was trying to say to him, he was once more in the reality of the diner hall.

Tolu frowned now as he took another look around. The serene atmosphere that he had seen before was no more the norm now. Then, before he had started writing, he had been conscious enough to know that the others were distributing the resources they had been piled in. The resources which had cost them nearly their lives.

And being that he was interested in it- Sam would always keep his own reserves for him. - He did not bother to get involved.

However now, his eyelids narrowing en further, the hall seemed to be in chaos now. And even more, the 3D gang were right in the face of Sam.

Dafe, the one with super strength slamming his hands into the chest of Sam, the resulting effect of it shooting the poor head boy backwards.

Tolu jerked up now, throat muscles constricting as he glared in unrivalled rage. He made to rush out there when Daniella moved to the side. And in lightning speed, her right hand streaked across the face of Sam in a loud resounding slap.

Immediately, the entire hall went silent as all activities stopped. Sam being the main focus of the 3D Gang aggression.
