1.20 (a pattern)

Me and Chase walk towards those guys playing basketball and try to find some familiar faces in those pile. These boys sure are athletic, some boys are playing basketball while some are just watching them play and cheering them on. It even looks like we have a cheerleader squad here huh, though is there even a club dedicated to that, I wonder.

While we were walking, towards a group of students that looked familiar to us. Footsteps came in rushing towards us, we didn't know what was going on until we heard some girls scream. *thud* suddenly I heard something from behind my back, looking behind me I could see Chase's hand holding the ball almost at my face "Looks like you saved me on this one," I muttered, he bent his knees and tried to shoot the ball, it went through the basket. All of the girls were cheering, shouting and some players were amaze as well, they walked towards us to apologize about it.

He yawned and mumbled "you owe me after that,"

"yeah, yeah," I replied.

We continued to walk towards this group near from what looks like the storage area of the gym.

A girl came in rushing towards us from that group "the way you saved your assistant,that was so amazing president Chase!!" she cried. It was Claire

Chase gave her a smile and replied "pls, just call me Chase,"

"got it!! So it seems like you were heading towards us?? What can we do for the both of you?" she asked.

I took out my notepad and pen and asked him a question "can you give us the names of the people in your group and tell us who went through something when those strange occurances happened,"

"sure! As all you may know by now, I'm Claire Porter," she smiled.

One by one she introduced them and pointed then out again "this is Alfred Blake, Wilbur Gray and Dominic Leonard for the boys. For the girls it's just me, Trina Martin and Kathrina Morton. Though kath isn't here yet, I made a request to find our other classmates because I overheard you guys talking about on how you will talk to everyone and take their names," she chuckled.

"that's alright, I'm impress that you had the guts to gather everyone," Chase replied.

"I-it's no big deal, plus it was kath who's gathering everyone -" she tilt her head to her left, noticed something from behind us -" in fact there she is. Without anyone with her??" Claire responded.

Kath ran towards us and took a breather "I-I'm sorry, I couldn't find anyone near the gymnasium. Apparently its just us who are left in here, even the other presidents from other sections are looking for their classmates," She said.

"so everyone is gone???" Chase asked.

"kinda, I guess," She answered.

"alright first of all, did your group experienced any weird occurrences four days ago," I asked Claire.

"yeah... Dominic was stuck in the ground, he was like sinking half way in quicksand then suddenly stops. Alfred was like a magnet attracting any metallic things and Wilbur started to grow some plants on his body, though it was just tiny ones. For the girls, to me nothing happened but to trina and kath they started to sleep walk. That's all," Claire stated.

"noted," I wrote it down and categorised it, looks like I have to add a list for nothing special happened and nature based.

I put my pen inside of my pocket because it looks like I wouldn't have to used it again for now at least "so about what kath said, what do you think Chase?? Though she is right -" I looked around us -" there are less students here in the gymnasium" I added.

"it's fine, you did your best Kath. Thanks you two, we better get going now," Chase grabbed me from the wrist and we started walking a bit faster. It seems like he's in a hurry.

"thank you guys!!" I yelled at them.

"no problem!!" Claire and Kath yelled at us.

"should we give everyone a call??" I asked. We started to walk slowly now and Chase let go of my wrist.

"yeah. Call Kyle and Ashley, I'll call Grant and Stacy," Chase replied.

"where should we all meet?? Right here?"I asked.

Chase stops for a few seconds before talking back "wait right here, I'll talk to the coach," Chase ran off towards coach and decided to talk to him.

What is he trying to do this time, also why the heck are there less students than before. Half of everyone was gone, it looks like all of us left are below five hundred even though per school there should be at least four thousand students on their first year. From what I recall at least four thousand students per year level, considering there are six years there should be twenty four thousand students here in sprindell high.

All of us are divided by one teacher which she/he can hold up to fifty students, based on that fifty divided by four thousand is eighty. So there's eighty teachers here in sprindell high. And from the papers it is said that per ten teachers who holds fifty students each are grouped into a section. So five hundred students are grouped as one, section A all the way to section H. I'm guessing our class and Grant and Stacy's class are belong to section A then.

(for every 10 teachers they hold fifty students each, equals to five hundred students per section.

Section A (five hundred students)

Section B (five hundred students) and so on all the way up to section H)

This is so confusing not gonna lie "hey!!" I was startled

"oh hey Chase, I didn't notice you came back," I replied, that scared me I guess I was zoning again.

"it seems like you were thinking of something, share it later. For now let's head back to the dorms, I already said the situation to coach and we weren't the first one to notice it either. Come on let's head to our dorms, we will be doing our meeting at my room," Chase stated.

"not the first ones huh, should I call Dean as well??" I asked.

"if he's free, I'm guessing the disappearance of students are also happening there. Give him a call on our way there and tell him to meet up at my place. Let's go then I'll go on a head, you better catch up," Chase started to run as fast as he could.

"I got it!!" I shouted at him. I should call Ashley and Kyle as well on my way there.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulders, I looked behind me and it was Claire "geez you scared me Claire," I spoke.

"hehe sorry, what was that about anyway?? And I begin to suspect why there are less students here," she replied. Good eye Claire.

"I've got no time sorry, me and Chase are going to held a meeting with the president of the other section -" my eyes widen, I grabbed Claire by the shoulders and shook her back and forth an idea crossed my mind -"that's it!! Claire I want you to add everyone's contacts and make a group chat. We will post the announcements their, for now tell our classmates here to go to their dorms and stay put," I stated.

"looks like the situation is about to get worst huh. Don't worry you can count on me," She replied.

"here's my number," I gave my phone to her and she typed in my number and hers.

"alright I better get going now," I ran off and waved goodbye, she also ran off towards her friends.

I should call Kyle and Ashley now, then Dean if he's available. Scrolling through my phone *tap* I tapped Kyle's contact and called him *ringing* *ringing*

- (third person point of view)

*ringing* *ringing* Kyle picked up his vibrating phone on the table "hello, reanna what's up??" he answered.

"are you with Ashley right now??" she asked.

"yeah what about it -" Kyle heard reanna's footsteps -"are you running reanna?" he asked.

"yeah, just grabbed Ashley and meet us at Chase and your room. Right now!" she replied.

"alright got it!" he replied, put down his phone and grabbed Ashley by her wrist.

"let's go Ashley, reanna just called. Sorry aunt but we have to go now," Ashley and Kyle took off. Leaving her aunt, she gave this terrifying and fascinated look on her face.

"it looks like they are smarter than I thought," she smirked. Elagantly standing up and stepping out side of the room and went to the opposite direction.

*ringing* *ringing*

Dean picked up the phone from his pocket "hey reanna, so what's wrong this time," he asked.

"I need you to go to Chase's room to have a little meeting, if you're available that is," she replied.

"I'm actually heading my way to your dormitory, I'll meet you up in front of the gate," he spoke.

"see you there," reanna hang up. Dean begun to ran as fast as he could.

-(back to reanna's point of view)

I ran as fast as I can, though I don't know what we are going to talk about but it's something serious that Chase have to go on ahead. Why am I acting like someone died or something, well it is a matter to talk about why there are less students this time around. Definitely won't be surprised if this is connected to another Challenge we have to go through.
