One More Night

The next morning, inside Nicole’s class room, the Professor has an announcement for their upcoming pre-test; they listen very well to him and stay quiet.

“Next week we will have a Pre-Assessments Test, so all of you will review what you have learned and including the last semester. I hope no one will be absent next week and prepare yourself for the test, do not be too vigilant and focus on studying first. This test is important, because of this test we can see if you have learned anything or not. So, good luck to all of you!” said Mr. Reyes.

While one of their classmates raised his hand and asked their professor.

“Yes, Mr. Cruz!” Mr. Reyes.

“Sir, are all subjects and the whole semester covered by the test?” he asked.

“Yes, all subjects and almost the whole semester, what you studied is in the test. So, no one will be absent and will miss Monday. Study hard so you can answer the test! Okay, good luck to all!” said Mr. Reyes.

After their class Amy saw Tim again waiting outside in their room, she just ignored him and continued walking. Tim accompanied her on the walk.

“Hi Amy!” Tim greeted Amy with a smile as he walked with her.

“Hi, why are you here again?” Amy asked Tim.

“I just want to see you. Where are you going?” Tim asked.

“In the library.” Amy’s short answer.

“Okay go ahead, I’ll join you.” Said Tim.

“Are you sure? Are you not allergic to the library?” Amy mocks Tim.

“Well, wherever you go, I’m glad to be with you.” Tim said while smiling.

“Okay, it’s up to you.”

Then they went to the library at the same time even though Tim forced himself to go with Amy, Tim accompanied Amy to notice him and have a good shot with her.

Meanwhile, after Nicole and Jane ate, they first went to the tree with the chair they always hung on. They are always there relaxing or hanging out after class.

The air was fresh there and it was almost in the middle of the university, so they could almost see everyone and its movements.

While eating ice cream, Jane noticed someone passing by them, Jake and Henry. They did not pay much attention to them because they also talked while walking.

“Wait, are they Jake and Henry?” Jane asked Nicole while eating ice cream.

“Yes, they are.” Nicole replied.

“Wait, why does Jake look like that? Why are there bruises on his face?”

Jane turned to Nicole and asked, “What did you do to Jake?” Jane asked.

“Uhmm, I didn’t do anything to him! But that brother of Kim has.” said Nicole.

“What?! What happened?” Jane asked in surprise.

“Last night, Kim and her older brother ambushed me with two other men. They want to hurt me, it’s good that Jake came, that’s how he punched them.” Nicole explained.

“Oh, it’s good that Jake came, what if he doesn’t come? What will happen to you? I told you, stop bullying students! That’s it; even other people are already affected by your actions. Poor Jake!” disgusted Jane said while scolding Nicole.

Nicole bowed to what Jane said; she was right because she was also nervous last night when those men ambushed her. What is she up against three men and a woman? Even if she knows how to self-defence she will not be able to handle its strengths.

“Yes, you are right, I never thought that Kim would complain to her older brother and even include an ally.” said Nicole.

“How is that now, maybe those people will ambush you again?” Jane worries for her.

“Hmm, Jake said I should call him when they ambushed me again.” said Nicole proudly.

“And you will make Jake a shield and hero again, will you? If I were you, please apologize to Kim to end the trouble.” said Jane.

“Ha? Why should I apologize? She is the one who needs to say sorry to me.” Nicole frowned as she was annoyed.

“Even though, if you need to apologize so that they will not ambush you, do it as soon as possible! I will accompany you if you wish.” Jane commands her.

“But I really don’t want to say sorry! If they ambush me again, I will report them to the Admin!” Nicole’s rejection of Jane’s suggestion.

“Haist, take care! Your stubbornness, you do not want to listen to what I say! I just wish you would not perish!” disgusted Jane said.

“No! I will be careful!” Nicole’s pride.

“Just make sure! I hope those people don’t bother you again.” said Jane.

“Haist!” she sighed.

While Jake is being watched by the student as he and Henry walk, due to his bruises and facial wounds.

“Bro, what happened there?” holding his face at the same time, Jake avoided.

“The chicks keep looking at you!” Henry mocked him.

“Tssk!”

“Tell me about what happened?” Henry asked again.

But before Jake could answer him, Stevent came and greeted them happily!

“Hey! What’s up?!” he happily greeted him with a hi-five.

“Oopps, what happen to your pretty face dude?” Stevent asked Jake.

“I was even asked earlier what happened, he didn’t talk.” Henry said.

“Wait, is that because of the girl who was with you in the dorm for one night?” said Stevent as he remembered seeing a woman enter Jake’s room.

“Wait, what are you saying?” Jake asked.

“I saw a woman enter your room one night,” said Henry.

“Maybe you just had a hallucination!” Henry said while smiling, and he did not believe what Stevent said.

Jake thought, maybe he saw Nicole entering the dorm.

“Yes, you might just have a hallucination! It’s impossible for me to have a woman in the dorm.” Jake said smiling, while lying.

“Ahh, maybe. Why did your face get hurt?” Stevent asked again.

Jake didn’t lie anymore and he told the truth to them, because they would not stop the question.

“I got into a fight last night, because Marco ambushed Nicole last night,” said Jake.

“What? Why did they ambush Nicole?” Henry asked in a surprise.

“Because of his sister, she complained about Nicole bullying her, that’s why.” Jake replied.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Tssk! You should have called us; do we need to fight back? I’m ready!” Stevent asked as he prepared to punch.

“No need! It will definitely not happen again.” said Jake.

“Well, what if they ambush Nicole again?” Henry asked.

“I told Nicole, she will call me immediately when that happens.” Jake replied.

“Is that so? Well, we are just here, I have not been in a battle for a long time!” said Stevent.

“Huh! I hope it’s okay, just don’t drink too much, because your punch doesn’t hit you when you’re drunk!” Henry mocked Stevent.

“You are the best man to escape!!!” Stevent replied to Henry.

“Tssk, stop that! Where is Tim, did you see? Why is he not here yet, the class will start.” Jake’s search.

“I saw Tim earlier, with Amy, looks like he’s doing his move! So I did not approach them.” laughed Stevent.

“Really? He said, “Amy refused to date him,” said Henry.

“Yes, maybe he’s making a plan b, hahaha.”

Then they laughed at the same time.

Soon after the class started, Tim chased after the class and sit next to them.

After class Nicole and Jane went straight to the library again to review and do assignments.

“Ahh, my headache.” Nicole complained as she looked at the cell phone to check the time.

“Eight-thirty, aren’t we going home yet?” Nicole asked Jane softly.

“Are you done with our assignments?” Jane asked her.

“I still have two unanswered questions,” said Nicole.

Jane handed her notebook to Nicole.

“Here, copy that, so we can go home,” said Jane.

“Really?!” Nicole said happily and Nicole was encouraged by what she heard.

“Yes, go ahead and copy it.” said Jane.

“Thank you friend.”

At the same time he held Jane’s hand.

“Welcome.” Jane said briefly while smiling.

And she reviewed her notes again, while Nicole continued writing the assignment.

After a while, Nicole also finished writing, stretching her body and arm before standing up and putting away the books. After tidying up, they left the library.

They noticed that the hallway they were going through was dark and they were almost walking alone.

“What is that, why did they turn off the lights here so early, did they know there are still students in the library?” Nicole complained.

“Tssk, just pick up your phone and turn on that flash light.” Jane’s orders.

“Eh why, what about your phone?” Nicole asked.

“Low bat, so let’s use your phone,” said Jane.

“Okay then.” She then took the phone out of her pants pocket.

As they walked down the dark hallway they heard something whispering.

“Sssiiiiittt!”

The two of them stopped and looked at each other.

“Did you hear that?” Jane asked Nicole.

Nicole nodded, “Yes.”

They looked around and there were no more people there, the classrooms were closed and the lights were off.

Nicole noticed that someone seemed to be running behind them.

She immediately looked at it and turned on the cell phone light. But no one sees.

“Why?” Jane asked her.

“Nothing, it’s like I noticed someone passing by in the back.” said Nicole while confused.

“Haist, come on let’s go!” Jane said.

Then they decided to continue walking down the dark hallway.

Later, they heard a crack again from inside the room they were passing through. They knew no one was there, so they wondered why they heard a movement of the chair.

They held hands, as they could feel the cold air in the area. They looked at each other again and signalled, and at the same time ran fast.

They ran until they reached the middle of the field. They both gasped.

“What the heck! What’s that?!” Nicole asked.

“I also do not know! Maybe there is a ghost here at school!” Jane gasped.

“Tssk! Did you also hear that movement of the chair?” Nicole asked.

“Yes, there are no people there, right? My hair stood on end, as if there had been cold air across the room earlier.” Jane replied.

They look at each other and are still confused about what they experienced.
