Chapter 1: The Unexpected Encounter
The bell rang, signaling the end of another grueling day at Springdale High. Sophia gathered her belongings and joined the throngs of students streaming out of the classrooms. She had just finished a pop quiz in her history class and was still reeling from the shock.
As she walked down the empty hallway, Sophia stumbled upon the janitor's closet. She pushed the door open, revealing a narrow space filled with brooms and mops. The smell of disinfectant wafted out, making her wrinkle her nose.
Sophia hesitated for a moment, wondering why she had opened the door in the first place. She didn't need anything from the closet. But something about the dimly lit space drew her in.
She stepped inside, her eyes adjusting slowly to the darkness. The closet was cramped, with shelves lining the walls and a small workbench in the corner. Sophia's gaze wandered over the cluttered space, taking in the rows of cleaning supplies and the dusty old vacuum cleaner.
Just as she was about to leave, Sophia heard footsteps behind her. She turned around, expecting to see the janitor or maybe a stray student. But instead, she saw a boy she had never seen before.
He was tall and lean, with piercing brown eyes and messy black hair. Sophia's heart skipped a beat as their eyes met. For a moment, they just stared at each other, the air thick with tension.
"Hey, what are you doing in here?" the boy asked finally, his deep voice breaking the silence.
Sophia felt a flush rise to her cheeks. "I...I was just looking for something," she stammered.
The boy raised an eyebrow. "In the janitor's closet?"
Sophia shrugged, feeling a little silly. "I guess I got lost."
Just then, the door slammed shut behind them, trapping them inside. Sophia's eyes widened in alarm as she realized they were stuck.
"What the...?" the boy muttered, trying the door handle.
Sophia's heart was racing. She was trapped in a tiny closet with a boy she didn't know. And to make matters worse, he looked uncannily like Jungkook from BTS.
As they stood there in the darkness, Sophia wondered what she had gotten herself into.
