It was really quiet, but tense. Strangely, nobody was nearby, except myself, but I couldn't miss the class today because of Ms. Donna quiz. I couldn't stop trembling in fear as I stepped closer......and.......closer........and closeer............. until, to my surprise, the giant octopus from the other day suddenly appeared in front of me! It smelled like barbeque though, I don't know why....
