Smack!
Rahul gave a light slap to Piyush and cursed.
"Sam. It's better not to listen to his advice. He really thinks we're fools," and closing down the distance, he whispered in Sam's ear.
"He's talking about the red-light area."
Sam's mind just went blank for a moment before getting the gist of the reality.
"Do those kinds of places really exist?"
His first thought was to almost reject it and just his tongue also voiced his confusion, but after churning over his thoughts, he almost nodded his head.
'It would be, since they would've talent related to that or maybe had another history to enter into this kind of loop-world.'
"What! Want to go on a round with me?"
Piyush spat out while almost sneering at Sam.
"Piyush. Do your guardians really give you that kind of freedom to go unnoticed by them?"
"It's complicated."
"OK. Leave all these matters and guess where this trip is going?"
Rahul shook his head and asked mysteriously.
"Isn't the trip about the 'Abalone—The Mighty Abandoned Ruins' which is known for being a low-grade dungeon?"
"Yeah. That's the main point of the tour, but we're also going to another place and can you guess where?"
Pondering over his thoughts, Sam shook his head but Piyush sneered.
"If that was really planned then I would've been informed."
"This was already decided—to not involve any assholes to ruin our trip."
"Hey Rahul! You're throwing false blame on me."
"False blame? Sam, you weren't there but the previous time, we made a plan to go on a trip but after going round and round, we returned to one place and you can already guess the place and the owner who can give that kind of suggestion."
Sam's eyes widened and he stared at Piyush speechlessly.
"Piyush! You really didn't suggest the red-light area, right? And where do you get these types of messy ideas?"
Cough! Cough!
Piyush pretended to cough to hide his embarrassment and gave out some excuse.
"They told me a place where they can relax and enjoy to the utmost and Sam, you tell me what would be better than the red-light area?"
This quick-witted reply really let Sam know Piyush's boundless shamelessness.
"I never thought you could even give that kind of excuse."
"Ok, we are drifting from the topic. Can't guess, right?"
Rahul again brought up the topic and was ready to show his dominance over the group.
They both shrugged their shoulders.
"Please King. Show your blessing and brighten our minds."
"Secret. I won't tell and it would be better to wait for the surprise."
As the topic continued to drift, the environment of the bus was already lightened up and music was already buzzing in the background.
An hour passed and almost everyone became busy in their own.
Thud!
Sam almost butted his head on the front row seat while the other one's head butted the seat.
"Why did the bus stop at this time?"
"I don't know."
Sam's eyes unconsciously drifted behind his seat while Piyush was already leaning.
"Rahul, you would know?"
A smirk adorned Rahul's face.
"This site was chosen for the trip, and you would've already guessed everything."
Sam's eyes flickered as if scattered pieces of puzzles became clear to him.
"That's why the trip started at 9:00 p.m., half-midnight."
The trip started at 9:00 p.m., and the reason wasn't given, so everyone already had doubts while having some clues regarding this but weren't so sure. Now they are sure that this trip is about the Lost-Golden Sanctuary, which is said to be a place where, if you want to enjoy your night, then visit this sanctuary.
"Everyone gets off the bus one by one."
A loud voice reverberated, and students started to get off one by one.
"Hey Rahul, are there any dungeons in this sanctuary?"
"Almost every sanctuary or ruin carries dungeons, and we're going to try this one till morning while making reels."
Nodding his head, Sam also got off the bus and stood beside Piyush while whispering started among the students.
The students were also counted one by one and were noted down.
"I don't want any indiscipline."
The principal gave a stern stare to almost every student while his mouth continued moving.
"Rahul! Rohit! Pawan! You three will lead the boys of this bus and Khushi! You will lead the girls. If anyone violates any rules, note down his name. I'll personally check them."
Sam rolled his eyes.
'Everything's the same!'
He and Piyush were admitted into Rahul's group while there were another 12 boys besides them in their group.
