Beyond the Bells
Wakes up, takes off the book from my face. Flutter eyes open. Realizes that I'm still in the library. Looks around. Sarina and Ventina are still here? They are asleep too. Checks time, my eyes widens. Shit! it's 1am?! How the hell I slept this long? Should I wake them up? It's pretty late. Walks near them and wakes them up.
"Sarina!! Venti!! Wake up! It's 1am! We are still in school…" I shouted. "Five more minutes, mom..." said Sarina. Is she drunk or something?! "Sarina, wake up" I shouted and kicked her back. "Rina!! Why did you-" she rubs her back. "It's not our home, stupid! We must go now" I said. "Yes we must, it's too late." told Ventina. "When you woke up?!" Sarina and I exclaimed.
Then we three walked out from the library, we reached the first floor of the school soon. Suddenly I heard something from the Principal office. I told it to Sarina as I heard it.
"Oh, I heard it too! How about... We peek in Rina?" asked Sarina. "Umm... Maybe... Venti what do you think?" I asked. "If you two are good with it, Yup ok." said Ventina.
We three peeked into the Principal office, when we peeked in, our aws dropped. Sarina stepped back, Ventina took a picture. We saw a human figure in black, we can't clearly see it, it was in shadows. I glared at Ventina pretty shocked already. "Ventina!! It's a literal ghost, and u take pictu- Wait!" I took a deep breath. I caught both of their hands and ran out towards the gate and went out.
The next day, I went back to school. It seems Sarina not to school yet. When I went to my desk and took a seat, I saw Ventina showing the picture she took yesterday of that human figure in dark to everyone. Some was like ''It's edited'' but some seem to believe her. I don't want to intervene in her chit-chats, so I kept quiet. It soon got afternoon, Sarina entered the class.
"Sarina, why are you so late?" I asked. "I slept too long because I was awoken for too long yesterday." she told chuckling. "I thought u got sick from seeing that THING yesterday." I told. Sarina. "Nah, bro" she told, shaking her hands. As we were chatting, we saw some students come towards us with Ventina. There were 7 more students coming with her. Michi Zoey, Madhava Krishnan, Genji Saguto, Heiter Den, Rizwan Khan, Tina Regina, and Hayashi Hazuki. My classmates.
"Rina, Sarina! I have a plan for tonight." Ventina exclaimed. "You look excited, what's it?" I asked Ventina. "Let's see... Umm... can we visit our school tonight like we did yesterday? And this time we can search for that THING we saw yesterday, K?" asked Ventina
"Venti... No, no don't, I don't think it's a good sign, even if it's not a ghost but some person... it's a simple no. I feel something bad about it." I said. "Hey! Don't be so pessimistic, Rina. We can try, aren't you an occult club freak?" Hayashi told jokingly, as he pulled a chair and sat in front of me, and leaned forward. "Hey!" I shouted, then sighed. "See, Hayashi... First who told I'm an occult club freak? I'm not even in one. Next, I Don't think it's a goo-" I was cut off in middle by Hayashi. "No No no, we are all going together. K? And Sarina told you were an occult freak." I glared at Sarina. Then looked back at Hayashi, it seems I don't have any other go.
We all stayed in school until it was, 1 A.M. again, to check the Principal office. As we planned we surrounded the principal office, but we didn't know that our plan is going to collapse.
