SURVIVAL FOR THE FITTEST.



It was the first semester when I and my friends had the urge to explore our new surroundings. We decided to go to another city for a tour ; which was one hell of a surprise.
Before we left we played truth and dare which was a fatal game. It cost us a lot. We were glued to the truth  and wanting so much at the same time.  I guess to some extent most of us college students have that in common. Therefore we went ahead in search for some  answers.


At around 1pm we arrived at our destination. Our mouths dropped wide open when we saw a young naked man running past us. "Is he crazy or drunk?" I asked.
Angela was dared to meet a stranger and get to know him within 10 minutes.We all went in search for the idle candidate . 
Sitting on a bench was a tall handsome gentleman with dark brown eyes , fair skin, black hair and had a tattoo of a naked girl on his left shoulder.He had the most beautiful smile I had ever seen.He looked like Taylor Lautner. All of us stood in attention , steering at him. "His the one" we all said it at ones.

Angela moved towards him in a seductive manner But unfortunately he stood up and walked away before she could even reached him.The incidence broke the suspense. We all started laughing hysterically. But Angela was determined because he was cute and she had to fulfill the dare. Luckily he was a few steps away having a drink at the bus stop, while waiting for the bus to arrive. Did he notice Angela earlier?

She immediately went up to him and sat beside him. They instantly kept a conversation going. Does he like her? we asked each other.
 We were hiding behind a post curiously looking at both of them. But something unusual was happening in the other direction that caught our attention.We were destructed by two gay couples intimately making out across the road. When we looked back  at Angela  she was gone with the mysterious man.
We all leaped out of our hiding position and started panicking; asking all sort of questions. "Where is she? What happened to her? Where did that man take her? What does he want from her?"
We were all losing control. We started calling her name out loud while haunting her down. There was no trace of her. "Where could she be? Why is she doing this to us?" we asked each other .

Unfortunately it was night fall and we had to go back to campus. We didn't know anyone nor  our way around there.We tried calling her but she was not reachable. We dint want to call anyone and report what just happened because we were hoping we would find her at home.

We reached the train station, our eyes filled with tears.What were we going to tell the college administrator or the police or her parents? That we played a game that led to Angela's disappearance? Or what should we say? We don't even know where to start.
To our bombshell we got a glimpse of a girl lying on a bench , crying her eyes out. She looked like Angela. Were we mistaken? Was our mind playing tricks on us?We decided to approach her. As we got closer to her Jessica tripped and we all turned to look at her. As we looked back at the girl she was gone.

In the middle of the night we heard a knock on the door.I ran quickly to open it and right in front of me stood Angela.
She was crying and looked confused. Beside her stood a woman; luckily she was the one who helped her.
After the woman left Angela started telling us what happened.She was swindled and the guy threatened her. We were all to blame.
 Early Monday morning while I was in college Angela called me. "His here" she said. Sounding like she was being chased. Her voice filled with fear and she was stumbling. Angela is now the haunted.

Let's face it. Being in college is some how a struggle.We sometimes abuse our freedom and play dreadful games.
