36 CHAPTER 35 (1/2)

Just when Matt was about to complain again, Sandra slowed and alighted from her H-board. She deactivated her board and walked about six steps ahead, went down to the ground with her right knee and started pulling out grasses from the floor.

The others alighted from their board and stretched their aching waist; they circled Sandra and watched her quizzically.

”Ouch” Matt laughed despite his aching muscles when he noticed Sandra.

”Is this the part where you advise us to feed you with grass, so you could see clearly in the night? Well, if you have suddenly become a ruminant animal, it will be my utmost pleasure to see thorns go down your throat as I feed you with them.”

Matt's mockery was met with a chuckled from someone beside Ema, whose face was turning red with laugher.

”If I happen to be a writer, I would surely name this chapter 'Sandra goes wild” Pinna was the one who had said it. Not able to control herself, she burst out with laughter and Matt followed.

But Sandra paid no mind to their comment. She wiped out dust from the ground and immediately pulled open the door of a cellar, hidden under the grasses of the field.

As if that was a signal, the laughter ceased and was replaced with awe. The humming sounds coming out from the main fence was much louder here, even though the fence was nowhere near. It was no doubt the sound was concentrated here; this was the center nucleus to whatever is powering the main fence of the academy.

”We are here.” Sandra said with deep voice, to someone on the other side of the phone. She stuck the phone somewhere on her pocket and turned to the others who were standing behind her.

”This is it, I hope you are done with the goodbyes?” she asked in a quick and formal look, just as Mrs. Jessica April.

Matt stared at her with hate; it was now that he was able to place Sandra's character. The older girl was living the life of Mrs. April. Too bad for her; she was nowhere near Mrs. April, who had over the month became Matt's favorite teacher.

”Are we to go in through that?” Jeff pointed, ignoring the girls question unintentionally.

”Not until the humming sound dies down, Raz and Leonard are working on that though, but unless you want to be cooked by electricity, then you can be my guest.” Sandra said, meaning it as a joke but neither of the other kids seemed to notice.

Somewhere in the night, a wolf was howling.
