The air is tense, no one is saying anything, the class is full of silence since Mister Williams left us on a cliffhanger.
"Okay class, my name's Harry Hills, you can call me Mister Harry and I will be your homeroom teacher for this year" Mister Harry breaks the silence.
"Yes Mister Harry, we're glad to be under your care" we all responded to make the class more livelier.
"So today we'll be learning math, please open your textbook, page 3" Mister Harry finally starts the class.
I opened my bag and grabbed my textbook, and I could everyone else doing the same. I turned to page three and Mister Harry starts teaching.
I don't know why, but the air felt heavy, I am sweating, my fingers are twitching, my legs are numb, I can't sit still, I feel like something's watching me. I tried looking around the class, and to my surprise everyone's looking as nervous as I am, maybe they are feeling the same thing as I do?
However, I tried looking at Mister Harry but he looks perfectly fine, he's standing still and is talking with confidence. I start to wonder, can't he feel the presence?
I am trying to focus in class, but I really can't, I feel uneasy.
I decided to take a look at the ancient cupboard, and once I gave it a peek, I saw something coming out of it, something that I've never seen before, I can't describe it, but seeing it gave me chills, it was scary.
It looks like it doesn't have legs, yet it was moving so fast, I didn't see a face, it was covered with something. Then I realize that the atmosphere in the class has changed. Mister Harry kept on teaching but no one was listening, everyone is sweating, their eyes looked frightened.
I didn't know what that creature was but I decided to ignore it, but throughout class, the image of the creature stuck in my head.
Soon class ended earlier than expected, it ended at 1p.m. Normally class ends at 3p.m. but somehow Mister Harry told us all we could go home. I was not expecting this to happen, first the classroom, then the presence and now we're going home earlier than the rest of the school?
Everyone had a relived look on their face when Mister Harry said that we could go home, I do feel relived to since today hasn't been the best day, honestly, I'm actually glad that class ends a little bit sooner since I don't feel very good.
Before all of us could leave, we were all told that Mister Harry will be taking our mobile phone's number since there might be some announcements that he wants to make tonight. We all gave him our phone numbers.
I was walking home with Chester as we usually do, but today's different, both of us are usually talkative to each other, but today both of us are walking in silence without uttering a single word.
Then, Chester started talking "Hey, did you felt anything weird during class?".
I was right, he also felt that something was wrong with the classroom's atmosphere after all.
"I don't know how to say this but, while Mister Harry was teaching, I felt a strong presence watching over my head observing every move I was making" I responded to his question.
"I also felt the same thing, the air was heavy and I was sweating like crazy"
"Really? well there's something else I want to tell you"
"What is it?"
"While I was feeling that strong presence, I was looking around the class and then, somehow, my instinct was telling me to take a peek at the old cupboard"
"So, what did you do?"
"I did exactly what my instinct told me to, and I took a look at the cupboard, and I saw something terrifying..."
"What is it Nik?!"
"It was dark, the thing has no legs yet it was moving so fast, I can't see the face but it felt like it was staring at me, the thing moves with the shadows, it was something that I've never seen before"
After I said that line, Chester didn't utter a single word anymore and the both of us went home with silence.
