Chapter 1
"Hey Rain, Aden was looking for you."
"Huh! why?"
The one who stopped me from finally leaving the school building are these girls from my class who love to gossip all the time and I don't like them at all. Moreover, what does he want from me now?
Finally we are getting a few days of holiday and I swear if he ruins my mood again with his weird prank again, I will kill him.
"You should hurry up, afterall he was up to something really good."
The enthusiasm they are showing, God what's he's up to now. It's better to just leave.
"Where are you going girl, you can't leave like that."
"Huh! I don't need your permission to leave. "
"But he was looking all over for you, just come with us to the class. I think he's probably there."
God! These girls are getting on my nerves now. They will probably keep bugging me until I go.
"Okay fine, but why? Why is he looking for me again?"
"Who knows but seeing you arch enemies finding new ways to annoy each other is fun."
"Are we class clowns or something?"
"Maybe you both are."
"Well whatever, let's go."
Yes, we are arch enemies, or that's what others call us. And I think I can pretty much understand why, afterall we have been childhood friends and we always have been fighting over first place in class, no..not just class but everything. Sadly he loves to annoy me, well I do the same but mine should not count.
"Here we are, Aden. I brought Rain for you. Not the real Rain but the actual person in question."
I entered the class behind them, only to find Aden sitting together with his so-called good friends but I still don't understand what's so good about them. I remember one time they tried to force him into smoking together with them. Good thing he has his own sense of justice in him.
After noticing that I was entering the class Aden stood up and started staring at me, dude it felt creepy.
Not only that, I noticed his friends grinning while looking at me, when I walked up to him.
"Aden, speak up, why did you call me?"
Come on, let's get this over with, what scheme do you have now to annoy me. It's not like it will work anyway. Let's see, What number one playboy of our class wants from me?
But....
God his face looks flushed up. Must be something exciting or embarrassing, come on dude, why are you trying to do something if you are embarrassed too.
"Rain, well...I love you. Be my girlfriend."
At the exact moment hearing these words my emotions got better of me, no..not just emotions but rage. His eyes are wide open in surprise seeing the expressions on my face. I don't know what kind of expressions I am making right now but probably it's something that usually doesn't show up on my face. Even my rage made it to his face.Slap!
With rage came a sudden glimpse of guilt and tears but before anyone could notice, I ran out of the class.
Running out without anything in mind other than the question, if I handled the situation in the right way? there's only one place where my feet took me. And without any thought I am already at my secret hideout which I love because here I can enjoy my time alone.
This place is somewhat special. Since it's the old school building where no one comes anymore, there are rumors about plans to demolish it. But long story short nobody comes here or so I thought. I noticed a sudden sound of footsteps from behind approaching me.
And as I looked behind my heart again said to me, just run!
I can't believe this idiot is still following me. What does he want from me now, what audacity to still follow me after doing something like that.
Soon, I reached the end of the building, the last class. But that idiot Aden still followed me to the end.
"Rain Stop..."
"What do you want now, Aden? after doing something like that."
"wait...Rain, I just want to talk and clear things up."
"I don't want to talk with you. I don't want to talk with anyone so just leave me alone."
I shouted at him with a sudden burst of anger, without listening to him. That confession made me so angry that I just don't feel like dealing with this crap anymore.
Glaring at him with rageful eyes, I ran in the class and closed the door. And soon enough it was just me and the silence. There isn't any kind of sound coming from anywhere anymore. Not even the voices of cheerful youth of highschool. I guess students have already left the school. But I can't leave now, not anymore until I get these unwanted emotions and thoughts in control.
Why did I slap him? Certainly he did something unexpected that caught me by surprise but for me to suddenly slap him. Oh! Now I understand... It certainly is because of that. That idiot, even though I told him, he still thinks there's a chance.
It took me about 20 minutes to finally get myself into a neutral mood, Gosh.. it started raining. How am I supposed to return now?
Guess, I should just return to the new school building first. But as I opened the door, I noticed someone sitting with their heads down just beside the door.
No way, he was waiting for me here, sitting all alone.
"Hey, just return to your home already, Aden."
"Are you ready to talk now?"
"Aden, since I have calmed down, doesn't mean I would talk to you after you did something like that."
"About that, I want to explain, just listen to me."
"Like I said Aden, I am not in mo..."
"Oh! You guys are here as well. Aden and Rain. wait... were you guys here to make out?"
"Eww.. get your thoughts out of gutter Arvin." This guy is someone from our class well just like his name he nearly befriended nearly everyone in the class. Wait he was there in the class during the confession too. Now I'm worried. I hope he doesnt start any weird rumors tomorrow.
"Why are you here, Arvin?" Aden asked him while I stood there making a gross face at his awful comment.
"About that...did you guys came from the last class of this building?"
"Yeah..what about it?" I asked.
"Well I came to check something there, just follow me."
"Nah.. I will just go wait in the new school building."
"Wait Rain."
"What is it now, Arvin?"
"Well, instead of getting bored there waiting for the rain to stop, why not just come with us? You are coming too right, Aden?"
"Well if Rain is coming then I will too."
"Yeah Rain, come with us. I am going to solve a very interesting mystery there."
"Mystery? What kind of Mystery?" Aden asked with an amused face.
"Well, just follow me."
"Okay, but the second I find something weird I will leave."
"Fine with me Rain." Arvin replied with a sinister smile.
I know, I am gonna regret it, as nothing good ever comes out after that sinister smile of his.
We followed him to the last class during this whole time. Aden didn't look towards me at all. I guess he's thinking about what he did.
As we entered the class Arwin looked at us with a smile and said.
"Can you guys feel it? The uneasiness in the air, it's as if the air is telling us to leave the class."
"I don't feel anything. Rain do you feel anything?"
"No Aden, same here."
"Well then, let's just leave. Arvin is just here to waste our time."
"No..no.. wait, Aden and Rain. don't you want to hear the story behind why the old school building was closed down and a new building was made, and then this building was left as it is after that."
"Well, we were about to leave but you sure got our attention." I replied to him while pulling up an old chair to sit.
"Well, do you know the school didn't ran for a whole year in 1998?"
"Well yeah, the new school building was in construction that year. " I replied while raising another question.
"What does that have to do with us?"
"They could have just held classes in the old school building, you know, but they didn't, don't you think that is suspicious?"
"Stop beating the bush and tell us already?" Aden replied to Arvin with a voice which cleared that Aden is starting to get annoyed.
"Okay, so guys don't know."
"Ofcourse, we didn't know that way before we took admission in this school."
"Okay Aden calm down, just hear me out. From what I could find, the official statement states that the building was too old and the number of students was too much so they decided to close the school for a year and make a new school building.
But, my father told me that it was just a false statement to hide something way more disturbing."
Listening to him, I don't know but I feel like this conversation is getting a little spooky. Not that I hate it... It's getting interesting.
"Arvin, you got me interested. Tell me what was the real reason then?"
"The class that we are in right now. It's called 'Spirited Away Zone'. Well to be exact, before the construction of the new school building, more than 30 students did go missing during the school hour without any trace of them ever being found again. Well it's just a story though but they say that this class was the main spot where many of the students were spotted last time."
"Well it's a little spooky, not gonna lie."
"Well, Aden yes you are right but what I am about to tell you both will make it even more scary."
He looked at us with an evil smile on his face and his eyes were crying to finally reveal something way more disturbing.
