After Gym class, Me and Cleo went outside of the gym building to talk about some things. "Ow…" Cleo had many Red spots and sores on her body,After being hit with so many dodgeballs. She was unfortunately an easy target for being so small.
"Let me help you with that." I rubbed my hand together and massaged Cleo's hurting spots. "Thanks skye." she Thanked me.
"I can't believe all those guys ganged up on you…" I relished.
"I'm use to it. It happened to me in middle school too." Cleo replied.
"Geez that sucks, cleo. I hope these college years go better for ya." I said.
"Me too..." Cleo replied. I felt kind of bad for her.
"Hey guys!"
From out of nowhere came Kerry. She was a bit sweaty and out of breath. It looked like she had ran all the way here.
"Geez kerry. Did you sprint all the way here?" "*huff *huff* Yeah…"
"How'd you even know where we were?" I asked
"I didn't… I just ran around the island for a while till I got lucky." She stated as she hyperventilated.
"Cleo… It's nice… to see you again."
Kerry said. "You too bumblebee." Cleo said back to her. Bumblebee was Kerry's ni name back in the ol duel academy days. We use to call her that because she would always a bee-magnet, Whether she was getting stung or bees just liked her food. She was always getting bees near her.
"So have you guys been to Drialgon Valley?" Kerry said.
"Drialgon… valley?" Me and cleo said together, Confused.
"Oh my god…? Have you guys not heard of Drialgon valley?" Kerry eyes were wide open. "It's like the main attraction of this island!" She continued to say.
"Kerry, Can you just tell us what it is?" I asked.
"It's …. It's like a wonderland!" She said blushing. "It's like if you combined an amusement park and a shopping center together!" She said excitedly.
"Well now, Im curious. What it like-" cleo's sentence was interrupted by by kerry's voice. "I can't even describe it with words! You'll both just have to come with me!" She stated. "Well then, let's go!" I said cheerfully. Me kerry and cleo then went off to the new location known as drialgon valley.
Drialgon Valley
Me and my two friends arrived in the valley.
It had to the biggest valley in the world. A moving platform ran along all the walkways in both directions just like in the airports. There was a shuttle service from the far ends of the car parks to the entrance and food outlets were scattered throughout instead of being on one courtyard. There were professional shopping guides smiling at every entrance, always ready for more business. Students and residents of the island appeared to be all shopping and talking as they enjoyed their time.
Cleo and I stepped forward and were amazed.
"woah…" i said to myself.
"I told you guys it was magnificent!" kerry boasted. "I can't believe it." cleo said still awe struck. "God I can't believe this place even exists in such a valley." I commented. "Yeah. I wonder why they built it here of all places."
A vast tundra valley didn't seem like a good place to build such a vast shopping center.
"Hey you 3 pretty girl. Want some cannoli?" a salesman with a thick accent hailed us. Kerry gleefully said: "Yes please!" she ran over to him and purchased a cannoli. "God. She is such an airhead." Cleo whispered "Yeah but in a good way." I said back "Hey you guys want some!" Kerry yelled.
"ya."
"sure." We both replied. Kerry pulled out her wallet and gave the merchant 12 coins paying for 4 cannolis each.
She came back with 3 plates of delicious cannolis. The dough-ey pastries where curled like a burrito and had a cream and vanilla inside. It smelled like sicily-personified into a pastry. I took a bite and was taken to heaven by the shear deliciousness. I licked my lips and slurped the insides.
"God this is awesome." I said.
"I know right! The texture and flavour are Perfect! Not something I'd expect from a random street vendor." Cleo added.
The merchant overheard and tipped his hat at us. "If you girls ever want more cannoli. Please don't hesitate, I'll give you more cannoli to stuff in your mouths!" He exclaimed and skipped away happily.
"*sigh* Wyatt would've loved these."
Kerry said after swallowing a cannoli.
"Haydn too…" They both looked sad."Cheer up guys.I'm sure they're fine." I said confidently." I don't know Wyatt hasn't been answering his phone." Kerry explained.
" -And Haydn hasn't responded to my skypes…" Cleo added. I sighed and put my hands on their shoulders. "Listen cleo, kerry and I We'll check around the Centurion campus and I'm sure we'll find them." I said to kerry and cleo. "Is that plan alright with you kerry?" "Sure… I guess"
"Cleo?"
"Yes!" She said excitedly.
"Alright then it's settled."
the sun set on drialgon Valley. The orange gold stretches far and wide, the colour of fire hearths and tangerines. It is but the reflection of the dawn, the promise of the rising sun that comes after the velvety night has had its say and the land has rested once more.
