Chapter 7: Detention

I woke up and surprised that im in the nurse's office and thats when events came flashing back in my mind. Zeke yelling at me, me crying on that wet floor in the staff room, mean girls bullying me and meeting Jack... Jack?

Wait, what time is it!? Jack said I should go back to my next class after I'm well rested. I checked the time, and I was so shock that my eyes widened.

I slept for 2 hours straight and I just missed 2 classes, no 3 because the last period just started. OH MY GOD. I only have one period pass, and I just missed fricking 3 periods. I'm so messed up.

The nurse went in and saw me, "Well, I guess-- you dont have an excuse to miss 3 periods? I can see the shocked look on your face." she said and sat down on her table, she's really pretty. She has these one of those model figures, slim bodies and a pretty face.

"Uhm.. what am I gonna do?" I asked, I was praying to God that I hope I wont get detention for this.

"Ask your homeroom teacher then." she said while reading a model magazine,

I immediately packed my stuff and arranged my hair and got out of the nurse's office.

When I arrived on the faculty room, I felt that slight tingle of pain on my knees. I cant even walk properly without flinching. I guess i'm actually badly bruised like Jack said.

Oh Jack! He said he'll be going to see me after class, and I'm not even on my class. He's gonna be dissapointed to me.

"Ms. Kurosawa? What is it?" Ms. Smith saw me first, as I stood in the Faculty room's front door and absent minded. I have to stop thinking too much information at once,

I explained her what happened, though I left out the details about bullying and just said that I fell on the stairs because of clumsiness and went to the nurse office, I had a pass for just one period but I actually missed 3 because I fell asleep.

"Ms. Kurosawa, you know exactly what is gonna happen to you. Skipping class is a major offense without a reliable reason. So, here's your detention card and proceed to the next building." she said and then she looked at her phone, she doesnt really care about her students huh

"But--

"No buts. Out now." she said giving me a glare, I hate her.


It was a cold room and some old lady which I think is the detention adviser signed my card and made me proceed to this horrible room, she said I should clean it for 2 hours and she'll sign my card.

I can see that its an old library whose been in this school for ages. The shelves are dirty and the floor is just dampened with water thats been coming from the ceiling. Well, this is great.

I took a dust feather and began cleaning, I keep coughing because of the heavy dust thats coming out in the bookshelves. Then, I heard some heavy footsteps nearby and I was just shooked by the thought of seeing a ghost inside since I'm all alone.

Well, its not impossible since this place is obviously somewhere along the lines of being 'Haunted'. This is where all those character in a horror movie end up dead somewhere.

I was obviously more creeped out on the thought of a real person going to murder me here so. I went and looked where the sounds came from. This old library is a maze and tall shelves are everywhere so it was hard for me to look where the source of the sound is,

and then I heard that small thuds again. I began to ran from where the sounds came from before its gonna be gone. I was so surprised that someone just popped beside the shelves that im standing, it was a black figure.

And out of nowhere, I just screamed. AND THE FIGURE ALSO SCREAMED. IT WAS A BOY'S VOICE. I was so creeped out that I screamed again,

Then a flash of light blinded me, he was carrying a flashlight.

"KUROSAWA-- WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE AND POPPING OUT OF NOWHERE, YOU FREAK!" I was so surprised that I havent noticed that it was actually Zeke.

God, I prefer to see a murderous monster than this devil.

I can see his face that is burning red, he was so embarrassed because the way he also screamed. I cant help myself but to cover my mouth because I'm gonna start to burst out laughing. I can see that he's sweating all over and he's just a little scaredy cat, he's obviously looked more terrified than me

He's just a coward for scary stuff.

Chapter 6:

"So why are you here, Kurosawa?" he asked, trying to change the atmosphere. He keeps finding ways to change the fact that I just saw him screaming like a girl.

"I-I got detention." I replied, It's still awkward for me to talk to him or maybe I just got used to talking and trembling at the same time in this school. Funny.

He rolled his eyes, "Afcourse, since you didnt attend 3 periods in a row who wouldnt." he said sarcastically like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Well, if he didnt bullied me then this wouldnt happen in the first place! But wait, did he notice that im not in class? I thought I was invisible to him.

"I-I overslept in the nurse office." I said, looking down.

"Huh!? Why are you even sneaking in the nurse office? You sick? You dont look sick to me." He said, annoying me again.

He carried a bucket of water, and got one of those dirty mops that you can find on the corners.

He dirtied his pants, he looks like hes been working for an hour here in the library. Maybe he also have detention, but I dont know what got him here to work so seriously.

"W-Why are you also in detention, Zeke?" I asked shyly, im not used to talking to him normally but I am very curious to know.

He glared at me, "I am not obliged to tell you, am I?" he said, then looked away.

I just nodded and turned away, afcourse. I'm just a nobody.

Then I felt this warm and rough hands pulling my left arm, I was so shooked that the feather duster im carrying fell on the floor and I lost balance.

And there was Zeke, staring at me with those cold and emotionless eyes of his. His face is so much closer to mine, and i can see the small dots of

I remember, I always wanted to have one of those but since I am Asian, we basically/mostly have this pale white face.

"Wha-what is it, Zeke?" I asked why did he pulled me so suddenly, does he want to bully me again?

"You-you shouldnt go there, nerd! the work assignments is over th-there, okay!? you stupid or what... in fact youre trespassing in this room." He said, his voice was also trembling and he looked away. "We have the clean the rooms near the entrance." he added, he tried to look mad but I can definitely see that hes just scared.

Why is he trembling and he sounded scared-- wait is he scared? Lol no way. The famous Zeke is afraid of the dark or even ghosts, which is more funnier in this circumstance.

"A-are we the only ones whose in detention?" I asked curiously, "then why did you go in this room if this is offlimits, the-then?" I added, I observed his facial expressions but he keeps looking away and unable to hide his 'im too scared expressions'

"Yeah, were alone." He admitted. GOTCHA! He is obviously 100% scared that he'll be alone.

"I went here because I heard some noises so.." he added scratching his head,

"Oh. O-Okay then." I nodded, and we went outside the room together.

I controlled myself because I feel like I will start to laugh any minute by now, he walks in such a close proximity to me and kept looking at the rooms with such alarming eyes. The silence is deafening and the only sounds we hear is our footsteps in this dark hallway that goes forever.

And then we heard this heavy footsteps in the entrance and the heavy click-clack of keys and door knobs.

"W-Whats that?" I asked Zeke, he didnt answer. His face looks alarming and then he started to run to the ends of the entrance.

Out of nowhere, I also ran and followed him. We reached the entrance and there's the main door closing on us- Zeke started shouting, "WERE STILL HERE!!! WERE STILL HERE!!" its my first time seeing him in a panic mode,

I started to panic too since I realized the whole situation we are in right now.

Did the staff just locked us in this old library!?

The man who closed the door didnt hear Zeke and it was too late when we arrived in the main door, we began to bang the doors but no one answered. I am starting to have a panic attack. No this is not happening, this is not happening, this is not happening---

"Well, were fucked!" Zeke fell down and sat on the floor, his sweating all over because of the running.

"Yeah, we are." I replied and sat down on the floor too.
