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

...Edward...?
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6l3zeWyZE
I look at Lawrence, who is fearfully looking at me.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfO9SXbCMg
Are we being watched? Heard? Felt?
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORFe9E3tpf
"Um... Maybe it was the janitor...? Who happened to miss this puddle of... Food coloring?" Lawrence suggests, totally unconvinced.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uLP0e7KrK
I'm too scared to leave the room. What if my knife isn't enough protection?
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyrsItPeG7
"How long can we stay in here?" I ask Lawrence.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3rIm5M5Dv
"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.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V4WG4YOWH
It's a good plan... Better than any I could've made up.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPbPjTCHDA
Lawrence uneasily goes to one of the reclining armchairs. And that's when I remember!
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskOSUC42qv
"Hey! There are security cameras in here! Maybe we can--" I start.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAPD4WRLIW
"SHHHHHHH. What if anon can hear us?!" Lawrence whisper-shouts.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI85t1N0R5
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.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLheAgIvoiM
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...
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohQgvgcILy
I thought I heard a yelp, but I ignore it. I turn around to tell my theory to Lawrence, but... He's gone...!
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCxNNexbi5
And that's when all the electricity is cut off.
Did I mention I love the dark? Just not in a creepy situation.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTCInZYaYw
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.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AUvcRzYsV
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.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCMlfftQ44
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!
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBlZwXztqu
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--
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDQoHKqOeM
Oh my God. Anon is holding up a sign towards the camera. Anon knows I'm watching. The message is for me:
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ9JXM2gAJ
"You're next."
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP2AuZcRnz
... Next? What does he mean? Where is Lawrence? Is he dead?! Will I be dead?!
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGtCDzXHSR
Oh... My... God...
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdR3HEDowc
I know who Anon is.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0FXQ1QBWb
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.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ireSK30Qp
That's where the coat was. But the coat is no longer in the possession of that household.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNH5cU1Y0c
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.
625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8aOx2FgXR
The only other person?
