Period three. English. It's my best subject, probably because my mum's a translator. It's kinda unbelievable that she can speak fifteen different languages. I still can't forget the time my mum had too much sake and ended up swearing in ten different languages. Those lines of complete gibberish were still fresh in my mind.

Not even google translate can tell me what she was saying.

When the period ended, we were given ten minutes before Period four, Japanese, began. I spent this time talking to Yukiko, while everyone talked amongst themselves.

'Hey, Kiko!' Someone called out from the hallway. Yukiko looked up to see who it was.

"Hey Taro! What's up?" Someone was standing in the doorway, he was surprisingly tall for a 15 year old, probably around 175 cm from what I could tell. His chartreuse eyes contrasted his spiky fiery red hair slicked back in a way that still made it look kinda poofy.

'Nothin' much, whacha do o'er the holidays?'

"Well, I travelled around Japan, from Sapporo to Okinawa, went to an anime convention, I dressed up as Inuyasha."

'Cool.' That was when Taro saw me. 'Who this? Ha'n't seen 'er here before.'

"Oh, Taro, this is Kotone. Senritsu Kotone. She's new here and had moved from Tokyo."

'Nice to meet you Taro.' I said, bowing my head slightly.

'This is Ryoma Taro, He's in 3-D, good friend of mine.'

Until the bell signaling period four, Taro and I just chatted.

When Japanese ended, it was lunchtime. My mum had packed me a bento box with sushi and teriyaki chicken on rice. She was a good cook, heck, she can even cook stuff from different countries like she was a local there. From Italian pasta to English Steak, even french Escargots, she could cook them all. Well, I liked Japanese food the best, that's what she usually gives me for lunch. Taro, Yukiko and I were just walking around the school, chatting amongst ourselves.

"So Yukiko, Taro, you know the west wing, right?"

'Duh, how can we not?'

"Mondo said that his best friend reported seeing the shiro de shonen."

'What about me?'

Yukiko's brother was standing behind us, hands behind his head in a relaxed pose.

"Nii-chan! When did you get here?"

'Like, five seconds ago?' He glanced to either side of Yukiko, noticing me and Taro.

'Oh, Hey Taro, and you're the girl from this morning... Er...'

"Kotone."

'Kotone. Right.'

'What're you guys doing indoors on a beautiful day like this?' Another voice came behind Mondo.'

"Hey Hide, I was just about to ask you the same thing." I smiled, He smiled back.

'Made friends already?' He asked, eyeing Yukiko, Taro and Mondo. Heck, I didn't even think I'll make any friends when Sakura and her little gang teased me. I thought I was gonna be their new punching bag until Hide barged in.

"Yep, We're just walking around the school, chatting amongst ourselves, talking about what animes we liked, bla bla bla, wanna join us?"

Hide smiled and caught up with us, along with Mondo.

Everything was going fine.

Until We passed by the West wing.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"

That scream startled us, it came from the other side of the door leading to the west wing, the restricted area. It scared Yukiko so much that she leaped back, clutching her chest as her eyes were wide open and screaming like a little girl.

"WOAH, WHAT'S GOIN' ON?" Taro screamed over Yukiko's continuous screaming that was hurting our ears as Hide was banging on the door with both fists, screaming at the top of his lungs that everything was going to be alright, while Mondo wasn't screwing around and tried to kick it down.

That experience was just like a nightmare.

Finally, Mondo kicked the door off its hinges, making it fall to the floor like goliath after he took a blow to the head.

What was on the other side wasn't much different from the main school building, it was just more darker and quieter, the dirty windows filtered the light to make it look like a ray of darkness shining through. The source of the screams however, was nowhere to be seen.

"H-hello? A-a-a-anyone there?" Yukiko stammered. Although her voice was relatively quiet, it echoed through the halls loudly.

'I don't like this...' Taro commented. 'I don't like this at all...'

"Great, now we can't help whoever was in trouble!" Yukiko groaned.

'Uh... We might have worse things to worry about...' Hide half shouted in a despondent voice. Something was up.

We all realised that when the place that the door was supposed to be had been somehow replaced by a wall, leaving us no way out.
