"You are so gonna get in trouble!" Emily said, half opening the door
"I am trouble baby."
"Shhhh!" Putting a finger on her chapped lips "You're going to wake the wardan up" She whispered.
"Stop shushing me..." I said as I took off my heels and held them by the strap "Are you gonna let me in or neh?"
"Neh!" Emily said adjusting her glasses
"Okayyyy its gonna be a fun night for me then."

I start walking towards the exit when suddenly my head bumped onto something. It was dark. I hold onto it, it was a fire extinguisher, maybe. All at once my foot ceases to move forward and everything starts to blur like a badly shot photo. All the colors at once intermingle and blend as my head becomes tilted towards the floor. The expected wallop of the ground doesn't come and instead I'm still falling, only now it is pitch black.
Though my eyes are open, I can't see anything; my heart is pounding inside my chest, mind unconscious. It's as if a hypodermic of adrenaline has been emptied into my carotid.

"Where am I?" I said as sweat drips off of my forehead and I am unable to see a thing. What is this place? Is it a secret trap door?
I sat on the ground hugging my legs. I shouldn't have left the room. I shouldn't have left it. Now look what I've gotten myself into. 
Instantaneously, I saw a ray of light following the bleak corners. It was the kind of brightness that would make your eyes to close in fear of going blind; a brightness that would make fresh snow look grey and sombre. I reached for my sunglasses, but even with them on I still had to squint to see. I hid my face in the space between my two knees, I no longer cared what the light was and where it was coming from. I blinked a couple of times. I thought I was going to get blind.

"Ms Scarlett!" somebody jolted my shoulders "What in the heaven's sake are you doing here?"
It was Ms. Olivia and Mr. Josh holding a halogen light bulb torch.

"I...I...was on my way to the room from the cemetery and then I fell and..." I muffled
"I think she's in shock." Mr Josh nodded
"Yeah we should better take her to the medical room. Help me get her up."

I wake suddenly, every thought in high definition. My eyes take in every ray of light and without a doubt I know I've slept too long. The noises are of a day in full swing, traffic heavy, kids rushing and chattering. I saw Emily sat on the stool next to the bed, looking me with peculiarity .
"SCAR!" She jumped the moment I opened my eyes completely. "Call the doctors, Scar is awake."
She told a boy who was sitting on the couch
"Whhh-owho is....."
"Don't say a word." She ordered.

The doctor came and checked my pulse rate. "The pulse rate is normal now." he told Emily, "We will discharge her today." he said.
As soon as he left the room, Emily started apologising for the night before, "I'm so sorry Scarlett" she would say, "I should've let you in."
"Who is that boy?" I asked glancing at him, he waved his hand when he saw me low-key staring.
"He's Jack Reinhart." Emily muttered, "He has Hebrew with you. He wanted to come and see you the moment he learned that you were hospitalised. Weirdo, right?"
"Weirdo." I repeated.

I saw him flung open his phone and start muttering, "Yes, Scarlett is awake. No no, she is completely fine. Doctors said that they are going to disc...."
"Whom are you talking to?" I asked
He ignored my question and continued talking.

"ARE YOU DEAF? I AM ASKING SOMETHING?"
"It's Ms Olivia." He said putting a hand on it. "She asked me to inform her when you wake up."

A doctor came in and told Emily and Jack to leave the room immediately and that I need to rest but the minute they left, Mr Josh and Ms Olivia busted in.
Mr Josh sat on the side chair and Ms Olivia next to me on the bed.
"How are you doing Scarlett?" Ms Olivia asked
"I'm fine." I said nodding
"So do you remember what happened last night?" She said eyeing me.
"I do remember everything." I said
"Well" She said unfolding a blue file "Now that you know about the oubliette. We need you to sign a confidential contract. And if we get to know that you have told somebody else about it, the consequences are perhaps going to be ugly, Ms Bryce."
"Wait. What? You're kidding me, right? An oubliette in our school?"
"Do we look like we're kidding?" Mr Josh said in his deep husky voice giving a dead eye stare.
