You smiled as you collected your things, knowing you had a chance to relax for the next period.
“God you’re so lucky you have a free period,” you heard Katie say next to you as she shoveled her notebook and pencil into her bag carelessly.
You had to admit, you really were. Usually free periods were reserved for Seniors, it was very rare for a Junior to get an entire class off. But it helped that you were so ahead in your work.
“You could have had a free period too if you had gotten ahead in your studies,” you said with a shrug up at her.
“Yeah yeah yeah,” Katie said, waving her hand dismissively, “I’ll wait until next year. Where do you even go during your free period anyway?”
Obviously roaming the halls was never a good idea for you given any potential mix ups due to your size, but you had come to discover a very helpful trick. There were a few classrooms around the school that were very rarely used. No teacher was assigned the room and they’d only be used in certain situations. But most importantly about these rooms, is that they were left unlocked. So, you had come to the habit of finding one of these empty spare rooms and lounging around in the room during your free period. You were suprised no one had thought of using these rooms before, but you had never had any issue of anyone walking in, and you definitely didn’t want to give up your secret escape now.
“Oh you know, I just kinda wander around here and there,” you say smiling with a shrug.
“Whatever,” Katie said rolling her eyes and smiling, “Well I’ll try to find you after class okay? I gotta run to my next class.”
And with that Katie ran off through the crowd leaving you to find your empty classroom. You waited a bit until most students had found their classes, leaving the hall mostly empty as you approached one of the spare classrooms. You looked around nervously to make sure no one was around and climbed up a locker to open the door yourself. It swung open and you ran inside just as the bell had rang. You closed the door, leaving you alone to relax in the empty classroom.
“Perfect,” you said tossing your bag beside the door as you walked in, “Now let’s see if I can’t find a nice chair or something to sleep on.”
You walked towards the back of the classroom towards a storage closet where you knew spare desk and equipment would be held and opened the door. Just as you stepped inside you froze, as you the sound of the classroom door opened and the lights of the room flicked on!
‘Oh shit!’ you panicked as you ducked into the closet, not even having a chance to look around at what was inside.
From within the darkness of the closet you looked out to see group of people flooding into the room! But what were they here for?
