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

...Edward...?
856Please respect copyright.PENANAJvgMbjyuzF
I look at Lawrence, who is fearfully looking at me.
856Please respect copyright.PENANA9znSLCdeyU
Are we being watched? Heard? Felt?
856Please respect copyright.PENANAzphIjQI32F
"Um... Maybe it was the janitor...? Who happened to miss this puddle of... Food coloring?" Lawrence suggests, totally unconvinced.
856Please respect copyright.PENANAdyeCl6B3Gc
I'm too scared to leave the room. What if my knife isn't enough protection?
856Please respect copyright.PENANAETId5zXUfR
"How long can we stay in here?" I ask Lawrence.
856Please respect copyright.PENANAxygWrTuKvS
"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.
856Please respect copyright.PENANAcQSMeynkXe
It's a good plan... Better than any I could've made up.
856Please respect copyright.PENANAHSUruyXvjq
Lawrence uneasily goes to one of the reclining armchairs. And that's when I remember!
856Please respect copyright.PENANAZPgQiZdGjb
"Hey! There are security cameras in here! Maybe we can--" I start.
856Please respect copyright.PENANAHZgvmpF5L3
"SHHHHHHH. What if anon can hear us?!" Lawrence whisper-shouts.
856Please respect copyright.PENANA4IrsK5zh9y
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.
856Please respect copyright.PENANAf8R4fGCJlP
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...
856Please respect copyright.PENANA3hwdYnvOr9
I thought I heard a yelp, but I ignore it. I turn around to tell my theory to Lawrence, but... He's gone...!
856Please respect copyright.PENANAKkEpmTYdLE
And that's when all the electricity is cut off.
Did I mention I love the dark? Just not in a creepy situation.
856Please respect copyright.PENANAZHxVy1sJuj
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.
856Please respect copyright.PENANAGMZcfMpTH0
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.
856Please respect copyright.PENANAFUtF9BeXAJ
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!
856Please respect copyright.PENANAt5D3ePjdkY
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--
856Please respect copyright.PENANA0m66908zp6
Oh my God. Anon is holding up a sign towards the camera. Anon knows I'm watching. The message is for me:
856Please respect copyright.PENANAAhuTYlVpPE
"You're next."
856Please respect copyright.PENANAt37rEk9S1z
... Next? What does he mean? Where is Lawrence? Is he dead?! Will I be dead?!
856Please respect copyright.PENANAsGhFSdHH7n
Oh... My... God...
856Please respect copyright.PENANADXCZO1gw0a
I know who Anon is.
856Please respect copyright.PENANAhDVna6onWy
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.
856Please respect copyright.PENANAolysNobWwa
That's where the coat was. But the coat is no longer in the possession of that household.
856Please respect copyright.PENANAxmK8DQAhhn
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.
856Please respect copyright.PENANAHIWdxlWOts
The only other person?
