Gwen's POV
After first class, we all waited for our next class. Mike and I had the earliest class but that meant that we could check out the clubs for the rest of the day. Mike and I had been spending more time with each other after we've gotten here at Makentook. It might just be because we sit together in the first class and we have our second class together but we have been talking a lot. Even tonight we are studying, not as a date. By the time the second class rolled around, we were so hungry. This class was an hour and a half long of lectures. It's just the second day and this is already getting really boring but that's what friend are for.
In class, you could hear all the stomachs growling during class and the teacher got quite annoyed. We had to take notes on this but when you are hungry, it's hard to focus. By the time we were done, everyone had ten pages worth of fact, note and homework. Our first test was in a month so we had to get studying right away (Whoa, I spend too much time with Cameron). After we got out of class, Cameron and Zoe had been sweet enough to wait for us to get out before we ate. Right now we could all kill for at least a bag of garbage. We walked into the school cafeteria because we were too hungry to go on a long walk and went to see what they had. Unlike high school, the cafeteria has decent food. We all got lasagna and sat down at an empty table. "I swear this is almost like high school." Zoe said pointing to all the cliques sitting with each other. Everyone nodded kinda freaked out by how much college was like high school. We ate quickly and then headed down to the center area of the school to see many clubs everywhere trying to get freshman to join.
"Oh man. This will be fun." Mike said. "Indeed it will." Cameron replied. Zoe and I just smiled and ran in as the boys tried to catch up. By the time they did find us, we had many ideas and lots of fliers. The boys on their way had only picked up one each. "What did you guys get?" Zoe asked. "Acting club." Mike said. "Robotics club." Cameron said excited. "Think I'll be doing art club." I said. "Joining the school's girl's singing group." Zoe said. "Are you Pitch Perfect." Mike joked. "Oh course!" Zoe giggled. Ah, love. A thing that could help or destroy you. "Wait, I think I see another club. I'm going to check it out." Cameron said rushing towards a person instead of a club. Mike's face changed drastically as he ran away from the group back to the dorms. Zoe yelled out to him but he was too far. "Wonder what that was all about." Zoe said. I shrugged and we kept on looking at the clubs.
Cameron's POV
I had saw Brick and thought that I could talk to him. I turned around after to see that they weren't watching and saw Mike running away as Zoe called for him. He must have seen me going to Brick. I need to talk to Brick pronto. I reached Brick and he was talking about a cool army camp. I tapped on his shoulder and he looked down, his face lighting up. "Cam! Nice to see you!" Brick said happily giving a solute. I solute back before I started talking. "Did you see Mike last night?" I asked. Brick thought for a moment. "No, but I did see a hooded figure last night that was also a freshman. After that, all I remember is waking up in an alleyway." Brick said. "Were they with anyone?" I asked. "Yep. Scott, Alejandro and Duncan." Brick replied. I gasped. "Thanks Brick." I said. "Happy to help." He replied. I started running towards our dorm where I knew Mike went.
Mike's POV
Cameron already knew by now. I am such a bad liar but Cameron is always so nosy. Scott and Alejandro were still in class. I can't avoid Cam because he'll ask everyone we know where I am. I can't go to a different college because I already accepted and Mom and Dad would freak. I guess I'll just have to wait and be silent. I had to do homework anyway so might as well. Zoe will probably be mad about this but Gwen is always understanding. Not that Zoe's not but ever since the end of Total Drama, she has always forgiven everyone and everything (Except for Chris). I don't like her in my love for Zoe kind of way, just as a friend and besides, she's Cam's girl and I wouldn't do that to my best friend. Then I heard keys in the door. I waited for Cam to come in but it was Scott. "Did you have fun in class?" I asked. "Barely. Our teacher was the great Chris himself. But the upside is you get him first thing in the morning tomorrow." Scott said. I face palmed and I heard Scott laugh. "Don't worry, he only treats you like a lesser being." Scott said. "Not like his interns." "Oh, thank you." I said sarcastically. Then Cam came in. Scott pretended to have better things to do. "Hey, saw you run away." Cam said. I nodded. "Did you do something bad last night?" Cam asked. "Why do you want to know?" I said. "Because I'm your friend." He replied. "It's just that Brick and I were walking back and the older kids got him. I didn't know what to do so I ran and didn't tell anyone." I said trying to sound truthful. "Then why were you the hooded figure in the bar." Cam said. Cam is always so nosy! I didn't answer but then just looked at him. "They made me. I was their hostage. I didn't want to go in the bar and no one wanted me to be noticed so they told me to put on the hood." I said as truthfully as I could muster without exploding in anger. Cam believed it and nodded. "Did they make you do anything bad? Promise this is last question." Cam asked. I quickly pulled out my phone and texted something to him before I said "No." Cam then checked his phone and went back to his bed. Hopefully I can explain. We texted, starting with Cam asking:
What's Up?
Do you want to know what happened last night?
Yeah, of course!
Well, I escaped with Scott, Alejandro and Duncan and something happened…
WHAT!
Well, telling from your text and the way your face looks right now, that's all I'm telling… going to do homework.
Wait, I need to know more… Hello… Mike…
I had already started my homework and pulled the curtains. Cameron's nosiness only grew if you feed him too much truth so I left him with that. I told him what I couldn't remember but Scott had told me, I was kinda impressed with myself. Now, I just had to get to home so that I could talk to Mal. I need some pointers on how to sneak out of places undetected.
I finally finished my homework 2 hours later and fell asleep trying to talk to Mal. I woke up in my subconscious, walking around until I found the card room. Everyone was playing Mario Cart 8 on the TV except for Chester who was complaining to himself and Mal, sitting in the darkest corner. I walked up to him and said "I need some help."
