Kid Against The World: Six

Chapter Six It is a Tuesday morning, I sit on the ground cemented floor right by the drain with the over edge. It is recess. After recess I’m going to have history, which is by far one of my favorite subjects because honestly you can’t actually prove if any of it is right. I love it when you can’t prove anything is real. When I am upset, I say to God that I don’t exist, and that he is a joke. He laughs because it’s funny, because he has great sense of humor. I lit a smoke as I sit alone here in the basketball court; there are other kids hanging around here, the punks, the trash, and the grunge kids.

What was a pleasant day had turned into a helix of muddle, Lord Ned must have found out that Ariam and the gang knew he was hiding the passage to the underground city, and since their mission was dire, he discerned they were coming for him. But why was Lord Ned so protective about this passage? What was he hiding there?             The gang hid behind a corner adjacent to the palace, overlooking the guards, it was quite stuffy being cramped up together, and quite miserable thought any minute now one of them might slip up and gave away their position. What were they waiting for? Bernard thought, if they want to get to the secret passage that was hidden inside the palace, then they shouldn’t be dilly dallying, he was worried about his ship and her crew being attacked by the guards
