Chapter 3 - And the winner is...still not decided...

"1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...11...12...13...14...15...16...17...18...19...20. Ready or not, here I come!"

I turned around looking through the room, to see if I can spot a person hiding under a desk or something, but it was empty of people, besides me of course. Weirdly enough I still felt a presence around me, but I couldn't see anybody. Anyways, it was time to explore the hallways of this normal, boring school.

"Oh one last thing, you can only hide on this floor, just so it's not too hard for Daisuke to find us." Tch, why did I remember his words now. I suppose I should get going.

I went outside of the corridor and rushed for the bathrooms. While entering the male bathroom I saw most of the stalls were closed. Why did this horror movie stuff had to happen NOW of all times. Hope I don't see Hanako-chan.

"What's hiding behind stall number one?" I said as I kicked the stall open only to reveal...nothing. The same thing followed with the next stalls, until I opened the last one...still empty. Or so I thought, until I noticed a pair of legs through the small space under the door. I went in and closed the door behind me, only to see Hana-chan- I mean Hanatarou looking at me and the simple words "Looks like I've been caught, how unfortunate..." coming from his mouth.

Now that he was going to the classroom, I was sitting in the bathroom, wondering, where else could have people hid. The female bathrooms? Nah, they probably wouldn't enter a zone that's prohibited for me, only to get me to join.

There were quite a few facilities on this floor-a gym, a swimming pool, a second gym...as well as locker rooms. That's my next target I suppose.

I rushed towards the locker rooms, knowing full well exactly where they are, while looking around me, trying to spot a hider, as well as looking at the timer I had put on my phone, which was showing 18 minutes left.

Upon opening the locker room I was only met with lockers of other students, some of them probably locked. I looked around the room, trying to open every locker, until I opened the last one and saw Yousuke smiling sinisterly at me. I genuinely got scared by that.

"It's not bad for a person to go back to their roots every once in a while now, is it?"

"Just leave." I replied with an angry look on my face. Next target was the gym. While going there I spotted one of the girls I didn't know, from my club, whose face and appearance I had memorized. She had short black hair, brown eyes and was wearing glasses. She didn't look bad, it was surprising I hadn't seen her before.

"Why are you being a creep again?"

It looks like I started laughing again. Damn it. To be honest, her place being in a dark shadowy corner was pretty clever. I'm surprised I managed to notice her.

While staring into space I hadn't noticed how she had already disappeared and went for the club room.

Now, all I need to do is find the other three. It shouldn't be that hard, right?
