A mere few minutes after having been swallowed, a sudden buzzing jolted Derek upright. He sunk a bit in the mush of food he climbed aboard before getting his balance. "What the hell was that?" his voice echoed. For a moment, silence fell again, apart from the occasional groan from the girl's stomach. Derek was startled again when a splash came near me, another morsel of food falling from above. "Oh, it must have just been another piece of her meal," the little guy sighed. He went to lay down again before the buzzing noise once again made him jump. "Okay, what the hell?" he asked again. This time, Derek was able to somewhat locate the buzzing. It seemed to have been coming from behind him, muffled around a pile of remains a little ways away from him. Despite there being a practically complete absence of light, Derek managed to adjust his spatial awareness to the enclosed space of this student's belly. Having turned to face the direction where the buzzing came from, Derek waited for it to come back to confirm his suspicions.
*GURGLE*
*GROAN*
*BUZZ*
Following a few distinct gurgling noises from the black girl's gut, Derek heard the buzzing noise once more and dashed towards it. Pulling through the mess of food he had been laying on was a bit tough, but ultimately not much of a problem as the little guy made his way towards his destination. With a splash, he landed back in the pool of juices slowly raising. Derek waded around, hugging the sticky stomach wall, and finally reaching the source of the buzzing when it went off again. By this time, the meal the girl was eating had ceased falling, likely meaning that she had stopped eating. The relief from that fact alone made Derek feel a bit more happy, but the real relief came when he discovered the source of the buzzing to be the tracking device the school provided for him. "I'm saved!" Derek yelped. He jumped, as high as he could in the pool, and yelled with glee. A sudden shaking came following his actions, throwing Derek back into a nearby pile of food. As he stumbled, the little guy kept the tracking device close to his chest.
*SPLAT*
"*spit* Ew!" Derek sputtered. Flung into some leftovers with great force, part of that collection zipped into his mouth. With haste, Derek spat out the chewed up mush. "That's foul," the little guy groaned. He took a moment to settle down before returning his attention to the tracking device. It once again buzzed in his hands. Derek pushed the flashing screen of the device and it turned green. "They'll know I'm here now!" Derek grinned. "But how am I going to get out?"
In the outside world, the dark-skinned girl had left the commons and was returning to her classroom. Along the way, she conversed with her friends. The high school student was still completely unaware of the fact that she had eaten one of the staff members at the school. However, the girl would soon learn of the predicament as she arrived in class.
Following the resuming of class activities, the principal entered the girl's classroom along with an IT employee. "I'm sorry to interrupt. Is Makyala Betzing here?" the principal asked. Confused, the class of students looked around at one another. Then, a girl raised her hand. It was the same girl that had consumed Derek. "Hi, yes, I'm here," Makayla answered. The principal smiled. "I'm sorry to remove you from class, but would you please come with us? It should only be a few minutes," she replied. Like the rest of the class, Makayla was confused as to what was going on. Nonetheless, she got up from her seat and went out into the hall with the principal and the IT employee. "What's this about?" the student asked as she closed the classroom door. The IT employee showed her a screen. "In short, excuse the pun, we have a staff member here who's much smaller than the rest of us," Principal Franklin explained, "and we've given him some tools to ensure his safety. According to this tracking device we gave him, he should be with you." Makayla's eyebrows furrowed as she observed the screen. "I don't understand, I've seen no such person. How short are we talking here? Perhaps I just walked by him." The principal shook her head. "Dear, he's probably a few inches tall. You possibly stepped on him by mistake, or possibly even sat on him." The black student raised her shoes individually, showing no trace of Derek. She then turned around and again confirmed that there was no trace of the little guy. Then, her stomach grumbled.
*GRRR*
Both the principal and the IT employee stepped back. "Oh... I suppose, um, you could have eaten him by mistake?" the IT employee suggested. Makayla responded with laughter. "Eaten him? You're crazy, I think I would've seen someone on my plate." She looked down at her belly and gave it a smack. Within, she sent Derek tumbling back into her slop. "Listen, I'm really sorry for having caused this confusion, but I think you have the wrong person here," the high school student continued. "May I get back to class?" Principal Franklin stopped the girl once more. "I'm afraid not yet. Because of our suspicions, I will need you to search for him when you return home. Considering he has recently been bolstered with additives heightening his defenses, the staff member should be able to survive at least the day inside of your gut. Here's the materials you'll need." The middle-aged woman handed over a kit of sanitary materials. "However you may bring the staff member out, these should do the trick to cleanse him. For your help, we're willing to contribute compensation in one way or another. Tell your parents and have them get in contact with us. You may return to class." The potential for compensation was enough to convince Makayla that this was real, that she in fact had accidentally eaten someone. Still uncertain about how to feel about the situation, though, she returned to her class and got back to work.
