Chapter 17 - Aftermath
Saylor's POV
I woke up and it was early. I guess I get to see the sunrise before the others unless there are other early birds in this room, but oh well. It's very peaceful, I did get to witness the moment where it's silent for a bit.
I got up before going out, and I sat on one of the picnic tables. This is chilling that I want to live here forever.
Saylor: *realizes that he forgot something* Oh yeah my takeout from yesterday!
I ran back to the cabin and heard the fighting.
Yep, here we go again... is it Colton and Pierce? If it is, then I'm not surprised.
I went to the fridge to check if there was my takeout food that I ordered yesterday. It was not there but a box for my takeout?
Saylor: *sighs* Who the fuck took my food from the fridge!?
Pierce: What food? We're literally busy here!
Saylor: My takeout that I ordered!
Pierce: Just say it's Ollie who ate it last night.
Saylor: Not my food!!!
Ollie: *was eating chips* What?
Saylor: Why do you eat my food!?
Ollie: I was hungry... sorry if I ate your food...
I sighed before I went out of the cabin and closed the door.
Pierce: Ollie! This is your fault! You ate a whole fridge of food!!!
Ollie: I was hungry!!!
Pierce: Control your gluttony you vegan cookie! No wonder your mom spoiled you while growing up!
Great... This is messed up... that almost everyone near the cabin can hear the fight.
I went back to the cafeteria to get some food. I hope that it can be enough to satisfy my hunger the same way as eating fried rice and any side dishes.
I saw some food which was mostly meals with sliced veggies, meat, and tofu. There's even rice. I guess it wasn't that bad, since this can satisfy my hunger.
I grabbed a tray before getting the food I needed, so I could have something to eat for breakfast.
Before going to the table, I saw Capri and Camila talking and I decided to join the two.
I sat down with the two before I started to talk.
Saylor: Hello you two, what are you two up to?
Camila: Nothing much, just talking about our past.
Saylor: Can I join?
Capri: Sure.
Saylor: So which past are you two talking about?
Capri: Well, it's Camila's past.
Saylor: I see...
Camila: It's just that I did have a normal life like her. It's where I had a lover before her, but my twin sister didn't like it... so she made him dump me so he could be with her.
Saylor: Oh geez, she's quite a dick...
Capri: Then it backfired when Percy saw her who was cheating on him. So he broke up with her, and he reconciles with her, and they became friends instead.
Saylor: That's good to hear... she got what she deserves.
Camila: Saylor, can I get to know your past if that's alright?
Saylor: Uh...
Capri: It's alright if you don't want to tell us. You can tell us if you're comfortable with that.
Saylor: Can I tell for some other time?
Capri: Sure. We can wait.
Camila: Do you want to hang out with us? We're planning to go to the mall to buy something.
Saylor: Oh sure!
We finished eating our meals before we went to the mall by getting on the bus to get there.
End of Saylor's POV
Meanwhile, with Aiden
Aiden went to Penny's cabin to observe her so he could pick sides later.
He looked at the room to see Pax and Penny talking and decided to eavesdrop on the two.
Penny: Pax... what are we going to do with this?
Penny shows the bag that she hid under the bed.
Pax: Give it to the winner who won the competition.
Aiden: *peeks at the window* (What's inside the bag?)
Penny: What if someone stole it?
Pax: Then lock the doors if you're planning to leave. Plus, you don't want to get caught by some people in the building where you quit the job.
Aiden: (She has a job!? But why did she quit?)
Penny: Even Ryker?
Pax: I mean you have no choice but to do it. I don't want anything bad that could hurt you...
Penny: I'm scared...
Pax: Penny... it's not going to happen...
*Pax and Penny gave each other a hug, so Pax could comfort his sister.*
Aiden: (That's sad...) *hears his phone calling in his earpiece* Are you fucking kidding me!? *slips on a banana peel* Oh shit!
*Aiden falls and crashes on a floor.*
Penny: Do I hear something?
Pax: Probably a random tree... not sure.
Penny: Oh.
Pax: Want to go to the park to take your mind off it?
Penny: Sure big brother!
They both went out of the house to go to the park to meet up with Bryon.
Aiden: That was a close one...
Aiden got up before trying to unlock the door using the thin metal wire. Then he went inside and looked around the room for clues. He got the bag from under her bed, but it was locked with a password padlock.
Aiden: Of course... what did I expect? *puts back the bag under her bed*
He continues to look around and sees the diary which he decides to read.
(Day 1
After I quit my job where Ryker and I have the same job. I felt guilty about what I had done. I know Ryker will not forgive me since I framed him for a good reason; that I stole something from our boss' office. I did this because I found out the dark secret of the job where I was working, since I saw a bunch of missing posters and the journal of my boss... I ran away to a different city with Pax and Bryon so that they wouldn't try to find us.
From Penny.)
Aiden: Interesting... I might take this with me to learn more about her and the other two. *hears his phone calling again in his ear piece* What now!?
Kenny: Hitman, do you hear me?
Aiden: What now Kenny!? I'm in the middle of snooping into someone's room!
Kenny: Is it the same guy who hits them with a plank?
Aiden: No dumbshit! It's a different person this time!
Kenny: Alright then. Good luck getting caught.
Kenny ends the call, which Aiden sighs angrily.
Aiden: Idiot... I'm not going to get caught.
Aiden organizes the room to make sure it's as spotless as possible before going to the apartment to check on Rye and the other two.
