Michael was the head bully in the school and he was in the same class as Jacob. Jacob ignored the boy as he carried on running down the school corridor. The harassment and bullying had become a daily occurrence for him from day one. It was the last day of school and he was trying to make it out of school without being beaten up. Jacob left the hallway and ran towards the school gate but as soon as he got out of the school gate, hoping that at least if not anything his last day of school was good. *Thwack*A fist hit Jacob's mouth as he got out. He fell to the floor immediately and held his face as the attacker came closer to him. "I told you Jacob you can run but you can't hide?" Michael sighed as he landed a kick right in Jacob's gut. "Argh!" Jacob screamed as the kick landed right in his abdomen. The other two students who were with Micheal laughed at

Throughout the journey, a sense of restraint prevailed. The once lively bus was now engulfed in an eerie silence. The students, sitting in their seats, refrained from uttering a single word. The fear of the sergeants penetrating glare prevented anyone from even attempting to break the silence.Few hours into their journey, The air inside the bus grew heavy with drowsiness, causing some of them to succumb to sleep's tempting embrace, while others sought solace in the pages of their cherished books or engaged in various activities to ward off monotony.As the bus rumbled along the winding road, it ventured deeper into the heart of an ancient and enigmatic jungle.
