Helanie:
"This is not fair," Sydney cried, tears streaming down her face. She had been crying non stop ever since they freed her from the grip of the frogster’s tongue. He just held her, his saliva dripping all over her.
It was so disgusting. Kaye had asked the warriors to step in, but they were disqualified for using something so reckless.
Hans had been grinning at them while Salem was still in shock.
Everyone was wounded and had to go rest, but before that, Kaye was going to make an announcement.
"Only a few teams managed to show me how thoroughly they did their research. I’m amazed because Helanie’s team has set a record none of my students have ever achieved. I’m proud of you three—" he wrinkled his nose slightly as he mentioned Lamar and Penn too.
"So, I’ve planned a little trip to the nearby beach where you’ll each have your own huts. However, the winning teams will get the larger ones. You’ll be able to enjoy your time in those huts and on the beach for the rest of this trip. I’ll be there to take care of your needs and ensure you have the best experience. But whenever I’m not around, I’ll expect the winning teams to keep things under control. Anyway, start packing your stuff and load it into the cars before you head out for shifts and healing. Once you’re all healed, the cars will pick you up. Just get in the car where your luggage is loaded," he announced, sounding a little distracted as he kept glancing at his phone.
We were extremely delighted because all my friends had succeeded—except for Lucy, who might have won, but at what cost?
"Helanie!" Kaye whispered as he walked past me. Being the class monitor made it easier for him to ask me to step aside whenever he wanted, and nobody ever questioned it.
"Yes?" I asked, following him.
"You should take the other car, the black one. It has everything you’ll need," he said, making me shake my head.
"Thank you, sir, but I’ll sit with my friends. I don’t really care about stuff, so I’ll be fine," I tried to excuse myself, but Kaye, being Kaye, wasn’t going to listen.
"Helanie, the seats are labeled with their names, and I don’t think you’ll fit in the car with them. So—you can ride with Jenny and Lucy," he said. As he looked away, I realized his problem was just the guys.
He was dating someone while being possessive about me hanging out with my friends?
I didn’t argue because, in hindsight, it was probably for the best that Lucy stayed away from Gavin. I was so mad at him.
"Okay, thank you," I said and walked away, joining my friends. We made our way to the guesthouse on the bus that had picked us up earlier.
Even though the winning teams were happy, they were all so injured that none of them could enjoy their victory until they healed and reached the beach. The bus dropped us off, and everyone started unloading to pack their stuff and load their bags for the woods, where they would shift. Once they healed, they would be able to enjoy the trip fully. The cars would pick them up from the woods afterward.
