1.8 (a mystery on the first day)

Four hours had passed.We learned that 2 people must share the same dorm. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen, it feels like a hotel room honestly. It's a good thing that we met Ashley and Kyle, luckily I don't have to socialize with a random person. Me and Ashley share the same room in the 3rd floor of the dormitory.

A beautiful scenery it is, ashley was glad that our room had a balcony, well in our case that is. Chase and Kyle are stuck in a normal room, no windows, no balcony, now it feels like a normal hotel room for them. Fortunately both of them are introverted, loves the dark and specially the fast Internet connection. All of the rooms have free WiFi and air conditioning but there is something that Chase learned when he explored the whole dormitory. He met one of the guards that keeps in watch of the dormitory at night.

I didn't know that Chase would actually investigate the area. I guess he's staying alert on what the teacher or principal had said.

Though he learned that we could buy and add anything into our rooms. Maybe his reffering to things like bookshelves or lamps. As a reader I must have a bookshelf in my room, heck maybe there's novels, comics and mangas here. That would be awesome.

Keeping thoughts to myself while I was laying down on my bed, two loud knocks banged into my door.

*knock* *knock* "hey reanna you there??" that voice belongs to Ashley, I wonder what she wants.

"yeah I'm here-" got up and sprinted my way to the door -" yow what's up?? " I answered.

"you busy???" she asked.

"not really, I was just laying down," I looked at her, she's looking down at her feet. Maybe something is wrong or does she want to ask me something???

Although she wasn't like this hours ago when we were having fun at the mall. Maybe she's worried about her aunt being a teacher or is it just me overthinking again. That bitch, I can't believe Ashley is related to her even though she's very different.

Can't just leave her hanging, I think I should just ask her. Just to be sure "hey!?, is there something you wanted to ask??" I questioned.

"o-hh w-well-" she began to touch her cheeks with the tip of her finger-" how about we pay the boys a visit??" she replied. Oh is that really it, maybe she just wants to be with Kyle.......... Oh fuck don't think about dirty things reanna, fuck!!!!!

"oh is that it!?!?! I thought something was wrong???"

"goodness no........ W-well Chase did message me to come to their room,"

"Chase messaged you??? What did he say??" I asked.

"that was all of it, he just said to come to their room. Wait, he didn't message you?? " she replied.

"apparently not even a hello, even though yesterday I just gave him my number,"

He didn't even sent me a message, geez that guy. Still if Chase messaged Ashley there must be something he wanted to tell us in person, is it really that important.

"how about Kyle, did he sent you a message as well??" I asked.

"I see I see, let's go now then,"

She nodded in response, what could be the problem to call us without saying anything, geez that guy..... He should have message me atleast, what could it be I wonder.

-

Silence filled the whole hallway, not even a single soul passed by. Weird there should be atleast students passing by here, maybe something is wrong. I just couldn't stop thinking about it, after all this school is very secretive and mysterious.

Still this hallway seems too aesthetic, I guess in a world where we have Sci-fi technology everything from decorations to furnitures they didn't care about changing it. It is beautiful not gonna lie even though this type of decorating is all the way back in the year 2000s

While I was admiring the hallway, the door made a slow creaking sound. It was Kyle peaking his head out "hey you two, come in hurry," Kyle whispered.

"is it really that important," I whispered back.

"do I really have to explain it??? Just see it for yourselves," he opened the door and stood by, waited for us to enter.

We came in and see Chase and Dean sitting on a chair, both of them are on the opposite sides of it. Infront of them is a coffee table with........ A chess board???? . Both of them are looking at each other, with Deans sharp hawk eyes and Chase looking at him like he wants to suck your soul.

"Don't tell me we came over here.... For this?!?!?!?" I screamed

"you two sit down!" Chase ordered, his voice echoed through the room while he move his piece.

"you don't have to yell, you know" I pouted.

"well anyways, you two help yourselves with the pizza on the table. We're just going to settle things" Dean replied while moving his piece and smirking at Chase.

"I'll do something about this, wait a minute" Kyle asked and went a room.

Me and Ashley went to the table and help ourselves with some pizza, so cheesy and meat even had a crunchy crust. The perfect pizza. I grabbed another slice of pizza and head towards Dean and Chase. Judging from Chase's pieces it looks like he might lose this one but chess is a game of strategies, there's still a chance Chase could make a comeback.

I tilted my head towards the room Kyle went in, what's taking him so long, I wonder. After a couple of seconds had passed, Kyle finally came out of the room. With a basketball on his hand suddenly he threw the ball towards Dean and Chase, in a mere second Dean raised his hand, caught the ball and threw it back at Kyle's face. Kyle fell down on the floor, his face turned red.

Ashley rushes to the kitchen to get some ice for Kyle's face "sorry about that. You shouldn't have mess with our game," Dean apologizes while he was focusing on the chessboard.

Chase sighed "let's continue this later, I think we should tell them the news first," Chase stated.

"I guess we could do that first-" Dean stood up and scratches his head -"fine, we will call it a draw," Dean replied.

"go help Kyle, Dean," Chase asked.

"oh yeah -" Dean went towards Kyle and gives him a hand-" sorry about that," he added.

"it's alright, I shouldn't have threw that ball," Kyle replied.

Ashley went back with ice and gave it to Kyle, he puts the ice in his face. Relieving the pain. Dean's reaction time shook me, Kyle didn't even made a sound when he exited the room and Dean was facing Chase, so he couldn't have seen that or did he????

If Dean didn't react the ball would have hit the chessboard and ruining their game, heck Kyle might even get beaten up by those two if it actually happened. Also when did they buy the chess board and the basketball.

"so what was it you're going to tell us about, Chase?" I asked while all of us took a seat at the couch.

"actually I'm not the one who delivered the news, it was actually Dean," he claimed.

"yeah I was the one who told it to Kyle and Chase before Chase messaged Ashley to come here," he explained.

"so what was it about???" Ashley asked Dean.

Before he could answer, Dean grabbed some glass of water on the table and drank it "well you see..... Before I went here I was actually doing some exploring. While I was exploring I stumbled upon a group of teachers, they were chattering here and there. Then one teacher said, that there project will commence in 2 months," he explained.

"project!?!?!" Ashley yelled.

"yeah, apparently that's the end of the conversation. They didn't discuss about what is this *project* they are talking about,"

"but it will surely happen in the upcoming two months right??" I asked.

"it seems so, let's just hope it's not some weird event they are hosting," Dean replied.

"how about you Chase??? What is your thoughts on what Dean heard??" I asked.

"well we don't have a clue on what this

*project* is, well for now," he claimed.

A project huh? I just hope it's not something as silly or stupid. Although the teacher was it?? She claimed that it is alright to investigate this school on our own. I think this is one of those chances she is talking about. If this it, I wonder why would they talk about it out in the open???

"is it strange that they talked about it out in the open" I claimed.

"you're right reanna, but still we can't avoid the fact that they are doing something big without telling the students," Dean replied.

"Dean's right, how about it?? Should we investigate this school on the weekends," Kyle requested.

"But keep in mind we are still studying, the first day in our classrooms haven't even started yet," Chase replied.

"it is not a bad request either way the teacher told us that it was totally fine to investigate this school on our own will," Dean stated.

"alright that settles it, we will be doing it on Saturday. Make sure all of you are free," Chase replied.

It's already night time, we have 4 days to go before we investigate the secrets of this school, specially that *project* Dean mentioned to us. I'm going to hope that it is not something that could harm all of us, if it involves time travel lol, we are all doomed. Me and my crazy fantasies.
