1-5

After trying to find our way back to the living room, we saw everyone waiting in there. Everyone is here except for Kristen, Claire, Troy and Venus.

After a few minutes of waiting, the four of them finally showed up.

"We found four rooms in the second floor and each room has bathrooms, I guess we have to stay here for the night. We'll divide the rooms, 2 for the girls and 2 for the boys. What have you guys discovered?" Gregorystarted the discussion,

As everyone is discussing their thoughts and the things they found, I was just staring outside. It's really a nice view; it might also be my first time to see maple trees, if those are even maple trees. I just like the combinations of orange and red colors even though my favorite color is blue. I also noticed that the sky is turning red; conveniently, I still had my phone in my pocket, maybe because I didn't have the chance to dive in the pool earlier. Now that I think about it, it sounds really depressing, that was supposed to be my first time to swim in a pool of fall's water. I grabbed my phone and pressed the menu button and looked at the clock, it says 7:30 PM. Now, I can really say that we're not at our home. The sun has just started setting while back in our place; it's supposedly pretty dark already.

"Dar…"

At this hour, I should be seen watching my favorite Youtuber and watch my favorite anime this season. I wonder what's happening to the current episode of my favorite anime? I'm missing so much right now; I guess I'll just binge watch everything if we ever get home. I wish it's pretty soon because I already miss the messiness of my room.

"DAR…"

Now that I think about it, I haven't clean my room since the beginning of summer. I remembered that one time that a millipede passed along the floor as I just stared at it passing by, all I did was ignored it and continue my sleep, hoping that it won't get on my bed. I-

"DAR!" Gregory shouted at me,

"Huh?" I returned to reality,

"I said 'what have you found?!'" Gregory still shouting,

"Oh… The products-"I said but Jane cut me halfway through,

"We already know that the products scattered around here are unused and looked brand new." Jane said,

"Ohh… Umm… I got nothing…" I said,

"I found it odd that there are no picture frames here or at least an album. If this is a household, there should be at least a single picture here even if the people here are new comers considering that the furniture and paint here is new, there should at least be a box that came from their previous household but there isn't one nor there are signs of people living here." Nadia explained, I thought of that earlier, how could I forget about that?

"You're right. It's really odd." Sheila agreed to Nadia's reasoning,

"Also, the sun has just started to set but in the clock it says 7:30 pm, does that mean we are in a different continent?" Carlo added, I also thought about it, I can't really tell the difference between a fact and something trivial,

"Yeah. It could be that we are somewhere in Canada or America considering the Maple like trees outside." Gregory expounded,

"Maybe someone has been living here." Jasmine said,

"We found out that the kitchen is full of food and products though it's not yet used. You can't just place food where it has expiration date. Let alone having a refrigerator that is full of it. If this house is new, there shouldn't even be a food in the refrigerator in the first place." James expounded,

"No, no one has been living here because look at the spacing in-between tiles." Jefferson rebuttal,

"What of it?" Gregory asked,

"If someone has been living here then those lines in-between tiles should be dirty and should have the color brownish green but it's not. Look! It's still white, it's still fresh." Jefferson expanded his reason,

"I agree with Jefferson. Overtime the tile adhesive between tiles will change in color but even the tiling looks brand new." Troy said,

"Why? If no one has been living here, then who places food and stuff like that in the refrigerator? Who turned on the refrigerator? Who left products around the house and left their house unlocked for some reason?" Jane asked,

"It could be that whoever owned this place just filled it with stuff and went on a vacation or something plus this place is in the middle of nowhere, maybe they are not expecting a burglar running rampant around here." Kristen guessed,

"Yeah, right. We are talking about all six households. Though, I don't know if the other houses are unlocked." Jane sarcastically added,

"How can you say that all six houses don't have anyone in it?" Gregory questioned,

"Well, if you think about it. If someone is indeed stillhere, then the moment we were thrown in this place or the moment we occupied this house should already have alarmed them. But not even a single living person even welcomed us or shows up." Jane explained

Everyone nodded to Jane's deduction.

"We also found clothes in some rooms; they looked really new, every single one of it. Shouldn't the owners could have owned old clothes or the owners are just ultra-rich?" Venus also added,

"It looks ridiculous! Are the owners of this estate stupid or dumb? Either way, they are just wasting valuable money!" Nadia let out an infuriating rage, ummm Nadia, isn't stupid and dumb the same?

"It's starting to get pretty dark. Let's just grab our stuff outside and bring it here." Kevin suggested,

"Yeah, we should do that." Ryan agreed.

Everyone agreed to Kevin and grabbed our stuff that are scattered outside. We went to the second floor, carrying our stuff; two doors on the left and another two on the right.

"Boys will take the left; you girls will take the right." Gregory commanded,

No one seems to disagree to Gregory, everyone nodded to the segregation. I entered the last door on the left and saw bedrooms and a bathroom door.

"Dibs on the side bed!" Jefferson claimed,

I placed my stuff beside the bed that I personally chose and lay down on it for a while. With me are Jefferson, James, Carlo and Troy.

"Nice there's a big TV here. I wonder who won the last NBA game…" Carlo said as he grabbed the remote and turned the TV on.

Once the TV was turned on, the first thing that it came out is just static. Then Carlo changed the channel and it looks like every channel is on static, well, you could say that there is nothing on TV right now.

I wonder if they air illegal channels… Nah, I don't think a household such as this would subscribe to such pornography of a channel and as I mentioned earlier there is nothing on TV so it is so stupid of me to even thought of that.

Every one inspected the room, tapping on walls and stomping on the floor tile. James opened the bathroom and started to look in it and immediately went out, while Troy is happily rolling on his bed, it looks like he did the inspecting earlier ago with Venus.

I stood up and peeked through the bathroom door. Nice, a bathtub! I always wanted to use it.

"I'll take a bath!" I said out in the open,

I prepared my stuff for my bath; I don't have to worry about soap and shampoo since the bathroom already had these necessities. I brought my stuff and locked the bathroom. I put the clog on the bathtub and open the faucet and waited for the bathtub to be filled with water at the desired depth. While waiting, I was looking around the bathtub, reading the product's contents. I placed the soap and shampoo close to the bathtub in case I might get to need it sooner. I immersed myself inside the pool of water and sighed in relaxation as I heard the sound of the door in the room being opened, echoed in the bathroom.
