Chapter 7: Poor Unfortunate Soul (Part 2)

                                    

                                          
The starfish flew to the sea, landing in the middle of it. As it landed, thick clouds formed above the beach, and a loud thunder roared.
                          
Arthit was no longer the only one mad at himself.
                          
Even the sea was.
                          
The loud thunder was heard all over the resort.
                          
"Tum, we need to finish the ceremony before it starts raining," a senior said.
                          
Clapping his hands, Tum instructed everyone to get into position, linking their arms together in a way that the juniors can step on them. The juniors started walking on them, completing the final steps of their hazing journey.
                          
"Where's Arthit?" Bright asks Knot while falling in line.
                          
"I don't know." Worry was written all over his face. "Something happened in the bathroom, and he went mad. I didn't know where he went."
                          
"What?! What happened?" Prem butted in.
                          
"I'll let you know later, but I'm worried. I need to find him. Wanna go with me?"
                          
"How about our gears?" Tutah asked.
                          
"The hell with those gears!" Prem exclaimed.
                          
"We need to find Arthit first," Bright added.
                          
"Should we tell the seniors?" Tutah asked.
                          
Without answering, Knot steps forward and raises his hand. "0094, Knot!"
                          
Tum raised his head. He wasn't expecting anyone to disturb the ceremony, especially Knot, whom he knew didn't like him.
                          
The sea was going wild, and it appeared it will start to rain, so he had to attend his junior's concern immediately to not waste any time. He nodded, signaling Knot to speak.
                          
Knot noticed Min was looking at him from the other side. "P'Tum, I need to speak with you in private."
                          
Tum wore a questioning face, but he still got up. His junior won't cut-off the reason if the matter wasn't urgent. 




                          
"What do you mean Arthit is missing?"
                          
"I can't find him, P'. Something happened in the bathroom earlier, which I can tell you about in full later on, but we need to excuse ourselves from the ceremony to find him.
                          
Tum looked at the juniors in line waiting for him to come back. While the ceremony is important, it's more important to find Arthit right away. He's his responsibility while they are at the resort.
                          
"Wait for me here. I will help you."
                          
Tum went back to the line and whispered something to another senior, who nodded in agreement to whatever he had said.
                          
In a matter of a minute, Tum was back to Knot's group, and they started searching for Arthit everywhere.

The loud thunder startled Arthit that he fell on the sand. He tried standing up, but when he did, his legs started to hurt.
                          
"AAAAH!"
                          
It made Arthit scream in pain.
                          
It felt hot. Arthit quickly decided to wet his legs in the water to relieve the pain, but it didn't do anything. He fell down on his bottom, wincing.
                          
"Too much hate." He heard someone say. The voice echoed too much.
                          
He looked around, but he's alone. He suddenly wished he's not alone.
                          
His red face due to his anger turned blue. He tried to stand up again, enduring the pain caused by the scorching heat on his legs, but he fell again right after his first step.
