Consider Him Lucky

Keon spun the spinner which landed on number 3. He moved his character 3 times which landed on nothing. I was hoping it was going to land on a good one like the chance one. I just want him to brag about how good he is. I’m not the only one who wants that. By the look on Amy’s face, she wants him to brag too.

It was then Alijah’s turn. She flicked the spinner making it land on number 3 as Keon did. She moved the character 3 times making it land on the electric company as Arlette did. She ended up giving the teacher $150 leaving her with $1,250.

It was then Amy’s turn which she then spun the spinner. It landed on number 2 which to her luck it's an even number. She smiled and got out of jail not needing to pay $50 dollars just to get out.

It was then Gissell’s turn. She spun the spinner which has the number 8 moving her character that many times in response. It ended up landing on a house that cost $100. She ended up buying the house and giving the teacher $100 leaving her with $1,300.

Once again the Arlette is next to go but the teacher stood up to say something. “Since this game is boring I’m going to make it quick. Whoever completes a whole rotation around the board wins. This is boring and I want it to end already. Arlette, you may go now.”

The teacher was right. This is boring. The only thing was to hope that Keon gets bigger numbers so that he can win easily. The teacher then took away our money since we won’t be needing it anymore. I’m grateful for that, it was way too boring.

Arlette then spun the spinner which landed on number 8. She moved it 8 times making her have 20 spots left to complete a whole rotation.

It was then my turn to spin it hoping I would get a low number. I spun it revealing the number 5. It’s not that bad but if other people get a low number Keon would definitely make fun of them. I normally won’t want a person to get killed but if he is still around I might go downhill. I just need 18 more spots to complete a whole rotation which I don’t want to.

It was then Mia’s turn. She spun the spinner which gave her the number 8. What is up with people getting the number 8 today? She moved her character 8 times making her have 24 more spots to go.

It was then Keon’s turn. I was nervous about this one. He spun it and to my surprise, it landed on number 12. He laughed and rubbed it on our faces which caused me and Amy to smile. We want him to keep doing that. The teacher gave him a disgusted look which means that he might get punished. He moved his character 12 times causing him to have 23 spots left.

It was then Alijah’s turn. She spun it and it landed on the number 7. She moved her character that many times which now she has 21 spots left.

It was then Amy’s turn. She spun the spinner like all the other people did and it landed on the number 9. Amy and I frowned because she didn’t get a low number. She moved her character to the designated number causing her to have 21 spots left just like Alijah.

It was then Gissell’s turn. She spun the spinner causing it to go to the number 11. Nobody was getting a low number which is suspicious. I looked at the teacher and his eyes were kind of red. What if he is controlling the spinner for it to land on a high number. That will make sense since he wants it to end already. Gissell then moved her character 11 times causing her to have 15 spots left.

The teacher yawned and stood up.

“This is way too boring so let's get to the point,” the teacher said.

“Keon can you tell me what the sin pride means,” the teacher asked.

“It means people that are being too full of themselves or being too cocky,” Keon said.

“Right it also means people that think that they are better than others and make fun of them,” the teacher said.

I turned to my right to look at Keon. He was trembling and it is about time that he finally realizes what it is all about.

“The punishment for doing this is death but I saw one of your classmates want that. Say thank you to whoever wants that because you're going to be alive. That doesn’t mean you aren’t getting punished for doing that though. Consider yourself lucky for not dying. You're going to be beaten up countless times by the staff in this building and let me tell you they are not gentle. You are no longer going to be friends with the devil since he found out you were threatening people just because of that. You are going to be weak now without his help,” the teacher said.

I sighed in relief. If he isn’t friends with the devil nothing is going to be in my way. I saw Amy smile because she isn’t going to be threatened anymore. I looked around to see everyone’s faces and saw that they had relieved faces. Is Keon really doing that to a lot of people? Once the news is out everybody is going to beat him up. If the teenagers are here in hell Keon would've been gone already. As the teacher said, consider himself lucky that the staff is one beating him up.

The teacher told us to leave and for Keon to stay in his classroom. Alijah invited us all to go to her dorm until it's lunchtime. We have been talking in her dorm for a while until we started talking about what happened in the classroom.

“Lexi, how did you know that Keon wouldn’t be able to do anything to you after the task is over,” Arlette asked.

“Yeah, I want to know too,” Mia asked.

“We were doing the task of pride which is trying not to commit that sin and that was exactly what Keon was doing. I then remembered that the girl that spoke in the library, Anne Rose Miller said that if we fail to do the task we will be punished,” I said.

“I can’t believe I didn’t catch on,” Alijah said.

“Yeah, well I think it is a good thing he always threatens us with stuff,” Arlette said.

“Oh yeah and he also said that he was going to expose our plan about escaping,” Gissell said.

“Yeah,” Amy said.

Gissell then looked at Amy with anger on her face. I can’t blame her for why she’s mad. She told someone about her plan of escaping. They said they already have a “master plan” and they have to come up with a new plan. Amy was about to speak up to apologize but Gissell stopped her.

“If you apologize it is not going to be enough,” Gissell said.

“I know that,” Amy said.

“Then why were you going to apologize,” Gissell asked.

“I was going to explain myself,” Amy said looking down.

You better have a good excuse,” Gissell said.

“Keon made me tell him all your plans and if I didn’t tell him he would kill my parents,” Amy said.

“That is not going to happen again now that he isn’t friends with the devil,” Alijah said.

“Yeah, I’m not going to tell anyone no matter what,” Amy said.

“What makes you say that,” Mia asked.

“I just want to get out of here. It is boring,” Amy said.

“We will give you a second chance but if you end up telling someone we are not going to give you any more chances,” Gissell said.

“Ok,” Amy said.

“We need to be careful if we want to escape,” Arlette said.

“I know we aren’t dumb,” Gissell said.

“Yeah, but if we get caught we get punished way worse than Keon did and they are taking us to another building in hell which is way worse. They aren’t to go easy on us there like they are doing here. On top of that, we are going to stay there our whole lives and there is no way of escaping from there. Their security is much higher than this. This security is considered a low class,” Arlette said.

“She is right,” Mia said agreeing.

The bell then rang meaning it was time for lunch. We all ran out of the door since we were really hungry. When we walked out of Alijah’s dorm we saw Keon walking into the hallways with his head down. We all froze at what we were all-seeing.

“Oh my,” someone said quietly.

Are they really punishing someone that bad just for committing something small…
