It was another boring day in school, a class of 30 seated at their desks facing their homeroom teacher as she stood. Twenty three years old, with silver hair and blue eyes. All eyes on her as she moved her well-shaped body-which her flowing red gown failed to hide-gesturing to the board, she pointed to words written on it.
"I hope you all are ready for the class field trip to NCAIR"
she said gesturing to the full name on the board.
The class immediately erupted in cheers.
"Good" she said.
"Ibukun" the assistant class leader "gather the permission slips and bring them to my desk."
"okay ma."
Glancing at miss Ruth u could see the evident discomfort on her face.
'being called ma by someone only five years younger than yourself would feel weird.' I thought to myself as I watch her leave the room.
As the teacher left the room the entire class began to engage in conversations with their respective cliques. I, as always, was single out from their conversations ,one of the perks of being an orphan accused of cursing his parents. Such is my fate. Thankfully i met miss Ruth who took pity on me and has been taking care of me ever since.
Yes a 23 year old female is taking care of a 17 year old male, what's so weird about that. Anyways
Listening in on the other students I could here their excitement. Although not every one was talking about the trip, most of the class was.
"I wander if we get to see robots"
"Probably it would be a waste If we didn't"
"haha, am going to confess tomorrow what to you think" another student said a i turned my attention to his conversation.
"Don't you think it would be a bad idea to confess when going to a place like this"
"nah bro….."
Turning my head to the window my attention still on my class mates conversation, stretching my gaze to beyond the black gate of the school
'luckily our class is on the third floor of the school building, if not I wouldn't be able to listen while trying to keep a low profile'
The classroom door then creaked open as miss ruth and Ibukun came in from the principles office after he had sign the slips for approval.
Breaking my not existent thought. I waited for my slip as Ibukun was handing them back to the others, Miss Ruth taking the first half and Ibukun taking the other column's.
'Slight disadvantage of being in the last seat on the last row' Every one else had received theirs, just as miss ruth was about to give me mine, a bright white light immediately enveloped the whole class as everyone closed their eyes on instinct.
Everyone else was waiting for someone to open their eyes, not daring to get blinded by the light again.
Soon enough someone had complied to their thoughts.
"What the… what the hell is going on"
The way he said it anxiety? excitement?
it was obviously fear
Soon after that others began to open their eyes and their voices carried the same emotion
"What the"
"What's going on"
"Where the classroom"
"Am dreaming right yeah am dreaming"
I too opened my eyes and just like everyone else, fear crept into me. i was speechless, I couldn't put it too words, the feeling that something happened that shouldn't have happened led me to question everything. The feeling of suddenly being where you weren't is beyond the norm, trying to make sense of what happened only brought about fear, There were no doors, no ceiling, no floor, just the vast color of white that spread endlessly. the fear that crept into me finally took hold as that realization dawned.
white space with no end, no doors just me, my classmates and the white space
Trying to calm my mind was futile, the same thought came crawling back no matter how much i threw it out
"holy fuck did we just die"
