"Beep". Julian's phone buzzed, she checked her
phone.
'All students are expected to settle in their dorm
rooms. Lockdown starts at 10'
She sighs. The lockdown normally starts by 8:00am but, Roche had told them she'll surprise them this year.."Maybe this was the surprise" She thought to herself. She checked her time, 6:58am. She stared at the jacket lying on her table. She walked over to the table and picked it up.
"There's still time, I should probably return this when I pick up my supplies". She left the room and went to pick up the supplies she couldn't pick last night. Afterwards she went straight to Alfred's room. She knocked on his door
"It's open". His voice rang. She opened the door and walked in. His room was the most spacious and quite luxurious. That was what he gained as the current president of Roche. She looked at Alfred and subconsciously swallowed. She gawked at him. He wore only his shorts, he was bare from his waist upwards. His hair was a bit moist. He had a towel in his hand.
"Hi missy. I wasn't expecting you but thankfully you're here. I've missed my girlfriend". He laughed.
Julian frowned she looked around the room it was quite clean. It was just ike a luxurious suite.
"You want to spend the lockdown with me?"
"You wish". She dropped her bag and untied the jacket around her waist. "I came here to return this". She handed him the jacket. "Thank you"
"You're welcome." He took the jacket. "They aren't
here yet". He mumbled
"Who?" She quizzed.
"My friends. We're supposed to spend the lockdown together. They're never late"
"It's probably because the lockdown time was
postponed until 10'. He looked at her tryng to put
to get what was actually happening.. "You didn't get the message or you deleted it as well?"
"What message?.
"About the lockdown. Starting by 10".
"Shit." He looked at the digital clock on the table. "Too late"
"What's too late....
Buzzzzz... " Lockdown initiated" the computer system rang. Julian was completely puzzled. She didn't understand what just happened. Lockdown was supposed to start by 10 and it's still 7:30.
"What just happened? She asked. Alfred's phone
started ringing. He picked it with a slight frown on his face.
"Did you like our surprise?" Ethan's voice sounded
Over the phone.
"I'm gonna kill you guys'". Alfred snapped.
"No you're gonna thank us when you see us" Ethan mocked. Laughter was heard. Allred knew it was Jeff and Lian.
"Just wait till this lockdown is over"
"Bye. Have fun" the call dropped.
"I can't believe them"'.
"Can you explain to me what just happened?. The
lockdown was supposed to be by 10"
"They tricked you". She was at loss. She still did not understand a thing. "It wasn't me, I had no idea."
"Please explain" she said. Julian's phone beeped.
'lockdown starts at 7:30. All students are expected to be in their rooms at 7:15. Collect the rest of your supplies from the welfare office
Signed Roche'.
"What the f*ck". Julian yelled.
"I wasn't a part of this'". He opened his phone to
confirm how they pulled it off and sure enough the message was there. Alfred read it and sighed. "Ethan hacked the school messaging system. He delayed the text sent earlier and sent you a false one. They were certain, you would come to my room. They saw us together yesterday and also saw my jacket around your waist. They wanted you to be here before
lockdown began. They knew you wouldn't make it to your room in time.
"How are they able to correctly predict my moves"
"You don't want to know". Julian sighed. "I guess I'm stuck with you for the next 24 hours." She sat down and Alfred hesitated before sitting beside her. He didn't mind spending his lockdown with her.
"Yea". An awkward silence prevailed over them.
"I'm just worried about...." She went silent. Alfred
understood what she wanted to say.
"Check the bag you came with". She grabbed the bag and opened it. She saw a small nylon bag inside and opened it. She saw a pack of sanitary pads and a pack of tampon.
"How?...."
"Nothing slips them". Alfred knew that they must have noticed she was in her menstrual cycle when he carried her. His jacket gave it away, so they had slipped the kit into her bag before she came to pick it.
'So, what next?".
