"Wake up!!! You've already grown up yet I've to wake you up daily. Why don't u just leave school if u don't want to study? You're just wasting our money!!....." shouts Arian, Elaine's mom.

(After Arian's lecture is over Elaine gets ready and sets off to school as usual. It's her last year at the school although she isn't new she's still seem to be quite nervous but her nervousness turns into excitement when she enters the bus and finds her friends( Jack, Luke, Anna, Jade and Darcy waving at her)

"OMG!! I miss u guys!!! I can't believe it's the last year of our High school!!" Says Elaine

"Then don't believe" says Anna, Darcy, Luke, Jade and Jake In a bored tone

*Elaine sighs giving them a disappointed look*

After 30secs of silent everyone laughs looking at each other

(As they were chit-chatting the bus stopped suddenly near a forest as one of the bus's tire was punctured the friends gets out of the bus and the school wasn't that far away from the road so they decided to take a walk instead of waiting for the bus to be repaired and walk into the woods as it was a shortcut to the school)

While walking towards the school Elaine feels someone's stares and when she looks back she notices a unclear figure in the woods while her friend notices she ain't listening to them and is disturbed by something they thought of taking revenge on her as she was the prankster of the group

"Snake!!!" Screams the other four

" Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh...!!!!!!" screams Elaine running deeper into the woods dropping her bag on the ground

And when she realises that she was pranked she goes back to get her bag back to see her friends laughing their teeth off and as they see her coming towards them raging mad like an bull, All of them ran off to deeper into the woods as Elaine chases them and after few minutes of chasing and running they all are tired and lays on the ground making a circle huffing and laughing and they suddenly realise that they're late for the school and as all of them hurry and get up they realise that they don't know where there bags are and also realise that they're now lost!

"Anyone knows the way back?" asks Elaine

Everyone shake their head indicating a no

after a minute of silent

Elaine asks" does anyone know where the bags are?"

The silence gave Elaine the answer

Now they all are completely blank as none of them know where their bags are nor the way out

breaking the silence Anna says "Instead of wasting time looking at eachother's scared faces here we should try to find the way out, shall we?"

To calm the tense mood Elaine speaks "Come on idiots Anna is right let's find our bags and leave the forest before it gets dark else our moms gonna kill us if they find out"

Everyone agreed and they started searching for their bags after a hour or less of searching they found their bags by the side of a pond created probably by previous night's rain

It's my first novel hope you guys like it thanks a lot for reading!!! And feel free to suggest!! If you guys like my novel leave a like and comment so I can update with more episodes 😊

"Wait...!!! I don't think there was a pond nearby by the place we drop our bags, right?" speaks Darcy

"Probably someone is trying to prank on us" says Jade

"I don't think so" said Elaine

"This place is creepy let's just leave now that we got our bags back" says Anna

The group of teenagers try finding the way out of the forest but failed after hours of searching

they are back at the pond again!

While they are resting nd talking they noticed some movements in the pond

"Hey!!!! guys the pond...look at it!!" speaks Darcy

"calm down it must be a tadpole, right?" said Jake

"Idk... let's check" Suggests Anna

And as they check

They were surprised and confused at the same time to see a goldfish inside the pond

"Nothing to worry probably a naughty kid who lives nearby must have kept it here" Said Jake

"There aren't any houses near by, I'm not sure who did this but it is probably not done by a kid"

While they were discussing the matter the gold fish suddenly speaks "I live here by myself for 10,000 years"

Everyone turns head and look at each other in complete shock

"Like what??? A freaking goldfish who's 10,000 years old nd speaks human language? Tell me it's a dream, right?" panics Darcy

"You're not dreaming, it's too real to be a dream" said Jade

"And honestly too bizzare to be real" speaks Anna

The goldfish just listen to the teenagers arguing about the matter and decides to speak

"You all are lost, aren't you?"

"Yes, since you've been living here for nearly 10,000 years you must know the way out, right?"

asks Elaine

"Yes, I know the way ou..." the goldfish didn't even complete his sentence and the teens overjoyed nd starts crying out loud of happiness

Smiling Elaine asks the gold fish excitedly, " Where's the way out"

As everyone looks at him silent nd focused

He finally speaks " I don't remember"

Everyone gives a disappointing look

"Wait what do you mean! you don't remember? Are you kidding??" Asked Elaine

"Looking at his expressions does he looks like he's joking?" said Anna

"Wow Anna like what kind of expression is the goldfish giving which can only be seen by you? Does it make sense a goldfish with facial expressions? Oh wait, everything here doesn't makes sense, so you have probably seen the expression on his face and how can I say it's a him like what...!!!" Speaks Darcy

"Calm down Darcy! you're overreacting take a chill pill" suggests Elaine

"What do you mean by saying that I'm overreacting! and how do you expect me to keep calm at such a situation!?" Asked Darcy

"You aren't yourself today, grab a snickers" Suggests Elaine

Everyone burst out laughing and are little relaxed now and the goldfish speaks again...
