In my hand, there was something I had apparently grabbed from somewhere. A knife.
According to my friends, they returned to the classroom only to find me behave as if I was sleepwalking and I had tried to slash my own face. They said I was so strong that things would have ended badly if I hadn't woken up.
In a shocked state, I told my friends what had happened earlier. However, one of my friend said, "What? What are you talking about? We never went to brush our teeth."
Then the other friend spoke, "What are you talking about? We were in the science lab."
Strangely, all four of us had different recollections as if we were possessed. I didn't understand. When I looked at my phone without thinking the time on the locked screen was 2:47 a.m. I told my friends to look at their phones it was the same numbers on their phones as well.
"How could that be possible?" thinking that we packed our bags and went down to the first floor. But we quickly became devastated. All the doors were locked. We couldn't go outside the window because of the security grilles.
I checked my phone again to see how much time had passed. The time was still 2:47 a.m. At that moment, we heard the foghorn of the ship that was sailing out. Judging from the foghorns, time seemed to be passing outside. The battery percentage kept decreasing. We were going crazy due to frustration.
Just then, " Guys, the restroom! There is a window in the restroom!" one my friend said. We ran to the restroom as soon as we heard that.
It was our plan to let the small ones go out first and push them from behind with all our might. But I started hearing that whooshing sound again. I was getting hysteric that the girl I had seen earlier was here. The ones who were outside must have pulled because my friend got past the window miraculously. As I'm on the taller side I was the last one to climb the window. The moment I tried to climb it felt like someone grabbed me by my ankle and I screamed. My friends hearing me scream pulled me out shortly.
After running for a while, we saw a small light at the distance. It was a convenience store that is open 24 hours. All of us entered the convenience store. Strangely, no one was inside. Something crossed my mind. Time.
When we were in the school, the time didn't change as if we were trapped. I quickly pulled out my phone and checked the time. It was 5 a.m. "It's finally over. We escaped." I was so relieved.
Suddenly the lights began to go out one by one. Then we heard the door get locked. We didn't know what was going on. We were so taken aback that we shook the door with all our might. We heard the emergency alert again from our phones. We got chills because the time on our phones was 2:47 a.m. We had gone back to that time. When we realized that we all screamed on top of our lungs. At that moment, the lights came back on.
The door to the convenience store opened and someone entered. On seeing the store owner we were close to tears feeling a sense of relief.
Thanks to the convenience store owner we were able to safely return home.
However, when we heard the last sentence of the owner, we couldn't get over the shock for a while.
"Hey. Don't you really remember? You see, I went to the bathroom and came back out running because from the bathroom window I saw that you all had overturned your eyes and grabbed that girl by the shoulders and legs. Then you were lifting up and lowering her. I ran here because I was surprised."
But something strange happened to us after that. Next week, on Monday we realized that the school uniform that was perfectly fit only three days ago had gotten noticeably smaller. Other friends also said that their uniform skirts have gotten shorter and their hair grew much longer. As if everything stayed the same, but our time had flowed by faster. The 2:47 a.m. period where we were stuck in. What was that thing that we experienced?
