A Normal School Day

As I was on my way to school I was mesmerized by the incidents that happened to me the past few months.

During the interrogation, I ended up with something unexpected.

I was shot but it was to cover up something which I still don't know and the mister who shot me told me that sooner or later he is going to contact me and till then I have to find the real culprit.

If this was a normal situation I would have straight out declined him but this time I believe they will involve my parents also. Like in the interrogation room I was shot in front of my parents and in case to cover up the situation they killed them. That can happen.

If the abduction of 50 students can happen, killing two ordinary people is not much of a case for them in comparison.

Also, he said that someone from the school is also involved. Most likely it's going to be a teacher, right? I mean a student is not someone who can plan or even execute all this efficiently. Abduction, killing, guns all this is not something a high school student can handle easily.

"Run! P.E. the teacher is going to close the gate!" I heard someone shouting.

I dashed towards the entrance gate before it closed and fortunately, I was successful but not all the students. About 4-5 were not able to be on time.

Anyway, who cares about them? I have my share of problems. I ignored the cries of students to let them in and walked towards the shoe locker but as soon as I changed my shoes and was about to put them inside the locker I heard the sound of the entrance gate being open.

Normally the teacher needs to contact every student's parent about their child being late and it takes at least 10-15 minutes but within a minute it opens, why is that?

I peeked outside to look at what happened and I saw a pitch-black Mercedes just outside the entrance and a couple of students were getting out of it.

I never knew that such rich kids are in this school. Even if any student is rich at most they come in a bike but not in a car with a servant to open their door. But this is the first time I have seen them.

Maybe they are always early, that's why I miss them. But there is always a first time for everyone, they also must be late.

"DING-DONG. FIRST PERIOD." Oh, boy I was mesmerized by them that I forgot about the class. I am going to be late for sure.

I hurriedly put my shoes inside the locker and paced towards the stairs.

"Ah!"

"Hmm…" as I was about to leave the locker area I heard a feeble voice so I just took a single glance and saw someone standing beside the locker. I couldn't see their faces completely because of the sunlight. If the bell hadn't rung I would have stopped but it's already too late so I ignored them and went ahead.

"Be seated everyone!" I hear a similar voice from my classroom.

It was my homeroom teacher. The class has already started.

I tried sneaking from the back door but she noticed my head and called out to me.

"Allen, why were you late?" I walked towards my bench and placed my backpack.

"Ma'am I have a good reason for that." I tried convincing her.

"Ho… go ahead." Everyone's gaze was at me.

"While I was on my way I saw an old lady carrying a heavy bag. I would have felt bad if I didn't help her so I helped her carry her luggage."

"So, you helped an old lady, that's why you were late?"

"Yes. That's why I was late today," I said.

"Okay so after school let's go and meet this 'old lady' you are talking about shall we?"

"… I didn't take her to her home. I just helped her for a couple of blocks and then I remembered that I was going to be late for school. I asked someone nearby to help her in my stead."

"Enough with the lies. Don't repeat this mistake." Is this a trick question? If I say 'yes' now she will know that I am lying but if I say 'no' and ask me to take her to that imaginary old lady I'll be in more trouble. What should I do?

"Ma'am someone is standing outside!" nice assist Alex. Alex must have understood that I was in a pinch and helped me.

"… There is no one," she said.

"Maybe I just imagined it." A laugh broke out in class.

"Alex, after class come with me."

"… okay."

"Let's start with…" she started teaching, she must have forgotten about me.

"Thanks, Alex even though you got caught up," I apologetically said to Alex.

"Nah, it's alright." But he didn't mind much about it.

Classes went by more quickly than usual and it was lunch break before I knew it.

Normally I would go to the cafeteria for lunch but today mom packed lunch for me. So I can eat it in class or go somewhere else. Hence, there are rumors about me keeping a distance from me except a few. Even though there were six others, I was more famous than all of them.

I stood up from my seat to move out. I didn't even need to look back, I could feel all of their gazes at me. Well, it didn't affect me much so I don't care about it.

The food at the cafeteria isn't that good so many bring their food. During h it's quite difficult to find a quiet place to eat. But I have found a secret place. When did I find it?

When I was in the first year, I didn't have many friends to talk to so most of the time I would be alone at lunch. I like a quiet place but during lunch finding a quiet place is not that easy. Either you form a group and take the spot for yourselves or just eat it in the classroom. To find a quiet place for a loner is quite hard.

I just wandered around the school hoping to find a suitable place for me.

As I wandered around for a while and didn't find any place I was on the verge of losing hope for a quiet place but as I was about to crawl my way up the first floor my eyes noticed something in the basement.

I walked towards it and saw that behind all those broken chairs and desks is an open space.

The most ideal place for me.

That's how I found this quiet and peaceful place but why is there a girl here now?
