We swivel around almost immediately. No one is inside... Whoever closed the door is now outside.

...Edward...?
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8fahzlIK3
I look at Lawrence, who is fearfully looking at me.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEevTpwsCxV
Are we being watched? Heard? Felt?
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qub1yAjVE
"Um... Maybe it was the janitor...? Who happened to miss this puddle of... Food coloring?" Lawrence suggests, totally unconvinced.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRt7lUNfYb
I'm too scared to leave the room. What if my knife isn't enough protection?
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06q5MGc7B9
"How long can we stay in here?" I ask Lawrence.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJJvYBDEYl
"Well... I managed to sneak a few things from the cafeteria, but it's barely enough for tomorrow's breakfast. So I'd say tomorrow lunchtime. We can sneak out to the cafe and grab everything we can, enough to stay in here until Monday morning," he responds.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvhx9DfAor
It's a good plan... Better than any I could've made up.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa73Cu8H0Lw
Lawrence uneasily goes to one of the reclining armchairs. And that's when I remember!
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSHPSky4sQ
"Hey! There are security cameras in here! Maybe we can--" I start.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu0bUus0pe
"SHHHHHHH. What if anon can hear us?!" Lawrence whisper-shouts.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDsNQiK0eU
I blush a little and walk over to the security cameras. I rewind the camera roll that's outside of the lounge, trying to see if I can find whoever closed the door.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKZonxe1Vs
After a few minutes, I found the part! I pause the tape and look closely but I can't make out anything that jumps out. 'Jesus! This school needs to buy better quality cameras!' I think to myself. All I see is a blurry image of someone in dark clothes. 'Wait a second... I'd recognize that coat anywhere...' I think...
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3wBBBGbGl
I thought I heard a yelp, but I ignore it. I turn around to tell my theory to Lawrence, but... He's gone...!
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkYj88bZ5Q
And that's when all the electricity is cut off.
Did I mention I love the dark? Just not in a creepy situation.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo388lt5n1
Edward wouldn't do this... Plus he's dead! But why would he creep the daylights out of me if it were him? I thought... I thought... Oh whatever.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaisHH9NlZM
I use a flashlight that I always carry around and look for anything useful. And I find... Candles? In a lounge? Well then. I guess teachers do have everything in here.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdXZEW8G5G
I ignite the lovely candles to illuminate at least a part of the room. And that when I notice the camera monitor is on... They must run on batteries!
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdy23gKVOb
I quickly shuffle over there and look at all of the cameras. Nothing special. I'm about to walk away when the middle camera monitor catches my eye. It's the Anonymous person... In the coat that belongs to--
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuIqUwjsfB
Oh my God. Anon is holding up a sign towards the camera. Anon knows I'm watching. The message is for me:
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7C7DmVOPn
"You're next."
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IJQLs4lYG
... Next? What does he mean? Where is Lawrence? Is he dead?! Will I be dead?!
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ3XxeY26j
Oh... My... God...
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P8jh38b7z
I know who Anon is.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH8iUMrg1n
A few days after Edward... abandoned me on Earth..., his house was robbed. The strange thing is that the only things that were taken were from Edward's room.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRstf7N0iD
That's where the coat was. But the coat is no longer in the possession of that household.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhqXeDZTrO
I live in a small town. There are not that many suspects. Only 2. And I know one of them would never rob Edward. That person is too arrogant. Joey has his own refined taste in clothing, far from what's in Edward's closet.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6teDCUUfa
The only other person?
