One More Night

When Jake arrived at the dorm he noticed Nicole’s eyes were red, Nicole sat down at the table and took off her shoes. As she sat down, he immediately approached her and asked.

He touched her chin and said, “What happened there?”

Nicole averted her face and she sighed, “It’s nothing.”

Nicole answered weakly; Jake bowed to her and looked into her eyes.

“Did you cry?”

“You already know the answer, why are you still asking?” disgusted Nicole said.

“Why did you cry? What happened? Who made you cry?” Jake asked her one question after another, Nicole was even more irritated by Jake’s questions. She got up and went to the balcony, but Jake followed her and asked again.

“Oh, why don’t you answer it?” Jake asked.

Nicole thought it was embarrassing what had happened to her and she didn’t want Jake to know it.

“Why do you have so many questions? Don’t you ever worry about, like, your boyfriend?!” she growled at Jake.

“I’m just worried about you, please don’t be offended by my question.” Jake replied.

She sighed before she answered, “Okay, there was a problem earlier at school, I was accused of cheating.”

“Huh why?”

“It’s like that, while answering the test earlier someone suddenly threw a crumpled piece of paper in front of me. Then I picked it up and read it, according to the test answers. Then that time, Sir Reyes saw that I was holding that paper. Then I was called to the office.” Sad at what Nicole said.

“Why didn’t you call me earlier? If you have a problem, always call me, I will come to you immediately.” Said Jake.

“Thank you Jake, for the concern. But Sir was upset when he returned to the room, he was also caught from whom it came from and who owns it.” said Nicole.

“Really? Who owns it?” Jake asked.

She sighed, “Sandra, that’s one of Amy’s friends too.”

“What? Amy’s friend again? Isn’t that also her friend, who was missing?” Jake assured.

“Yes. Haist, it looks like Amy is not a great friend.” Said Nicole.

“Why did you say that?”

“Because her friends are doomed, if I know she might do the same, then she just points out her friends, so that they can be blamed.” Nicole said as she crossed her arms.

“Huh, I’m not sure, maybe it’s just a coincidence.”

“Haist, I don’t know. As she said before, it looks like she will do something next.”

“Why? What did she tell you?”

“She said, don’t make me happy at first, because the investigation is not over if Sandra really is the owner of that paper.” Nicole said, frowning.

“Huh, when they fight you, tell me right away. Have you eaten?” Jake asked.

“Not yet.” Nicole said softly.

“Come on, let’s eat first, I’m hungry too.” Invited by Jake.

“I don’t want to, it’s just you. I’m too lazy to go out.” Nicole replied.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Oh I’ll go then, I’ll just buy you food. What do you want to eat?” Jake asked.

“It’s up to you, what you want to eat, that’s all for me.”

“Okay go ahead, I’ll buy outside what we can eat first.”

Then Jake went out and went to a nearby restaurant and took out their food with Nicole. While Jake was waiting for their food, Henry saw him enter the restaurant. He immediately approached her while sitting at the table.

“Bro, are you here too?” it’s a surprising question. And leaned over his chair

“Yup, why?” he frowned.

“I have something to tell you.” Henry whispered to Jake.

“What’s that?” Jake asked.

“Did you know that one night I ran away from the dorm, I was with Amber, we heard a noise in the basketball gym, it was like a chair that was thrown, but when we looked, the court was clean, there were no people and no seat.” Henry whispered.

“Ows? Is that true?” disbelieving Jake asked Henry.

“Bro, believe me! That’s true, that’s why I was scared that night.” said Henry.

“Wait, why were you in Amber’s gym at that time?” Jake asked.

“Tssk! You know, we’re doing ‘something’.”

“Haist, that’s why, maybe someone saw you.” Jake said laughing.

“Bro, that’s not all. When I came home, while I was looking for the key to the plant, it was as if someone had passed behind me.”

“Huh, maybe you’re just imagining that.”

“No, twice,” and he scratched his head.

“I even turned on my cell phone light but no one was there. Isn’t that creepy now? Is it true, there are ghosts spreading in the school?” Henry asked.

Jake thought of Nicole and also remembered her story. He also wondered if it was true that there was a ghost at school.

“In that case, do not run away again at night. Your tendency is to run away, and then you are haunted!” Jake teased, as he laughed.

“Tssk! It’s up to you if you don’t want to believe!” He was annoyed that he was breastfeeding Jake.

Later the food he ordered arrived. Henry wondered why he had ordered two classes.

“Oh, why did you order two, you ate poorly, didn’t you?” Henry asked.

“My roommate also asked me to buy him food, so it’s two. Okay, I’ll go ahead.” Jake said goodbye and stood up.

“Okay.” Henry also said goodbye.

The next day the Teachers were surprised when they entered their office it was chaotic. Papers and test papers were scattered throughout the office.

“Oh, what happened in our office? It looks like a typhoon!” said Mr. Reyes.

“Yes Sir, who entered here last night?” Ms. Corpuz asked.

“Hmmp! Whoever enters here is responsible!”

Then he immediately went to his desk, he immediately looked for the test that the students answered yesterday. But he searched all over the office but he still did not find it, the test papers that were there were missing. He also found out that in another section there were missing test papers.

“Haist! Who took and hid the test papers?!” disgusted Ms. Corpuz said.

“Better yet, let us inform the Principal. Let’s watch the CCTV to find out who entered it last night.” Said Mr. Reyes.

“Yes, that’s good! Let’s go!” said Mrs. Tuazon.

Then they went together to the Principal’s Office to let them know what had happened. They went inside and talked to their Principal.

“Mrs. Gomez, something unexpected happened in our office.” Mr. Reyes said kindly.

“What’s that?” Mrs. Gomez asked.

“Earlier, when we entered the office, papers and test papers were scattered, and we found out that test papers were missing.” Ms. Corpuz explained to the Principal.

“What?!” was surprised it says.

“How did that happen?! Are you sure, you closed the door last night before you left?” Mrs. Gomez asked.

“Yes Ma’am. I’m sure I locked it; it was still locked earlier when we entered. ” Mrs. Tuazon said.

“In that case, who just entered your office?” she asked.

“Maam, that’s why we came here, we also want to see the school’s CCTV, so we can find out who entered the office last night.” Said Mr. Reyes.

“Okay then. I will accompany you to the CCTV office.” Said Mrs. Gomez.

Then they went to the CCTV office, but unexpectedly someone broke the CCTV. They did not receive any information on who entered the teacher’s office.

“How is that Maam, the CCTV was broken last night, what are we going to do?” confused by Mrs. Tuazon.

Mrs. Gomez, on the other hand, thought of a way to find out who did it.

“This is what we will do, go back to your classes and tell your students what happened. Then tell us we are searching at their bags and lockers now, so we know who took and hid the test papers.” Order of Mrs. Gomez.

“Okay Maam, you have a good idea. He must still have the test papers now.” Said Mr. Reyes.

“Oh go ahead, go back to your class, and tell me right away if it caught anyone.” Order of Mrs. Gomez.

“Okay Maam.”

Then they said goodbye to the Principal and went to their classrooms. Then the students completed and they said what the Principal was saying inside their class and the students were surprised.

Others were apprehensive and afraid of what had happened.

“Quiet class! Quiet!!!” shouted Mr. Reyes.

“Because of what happened, we have to go through your bags and lockers one by one. First row, stand up and give me your bags.” Order by Mr. Reyes.

The students immediately followed and all those sitting in the first row approached and handed their bags to their Teacher.

No test papers were found in their bags, until the students had finished and ran out of test papers in each bag.

So he decided to go to the locker room and there they lined up and sorted out each locker. Because the students have the keys, they ask the student where their locker is and open it.

Mr. Reyes looked closely at each unlocked locker, until he unexpectedly discovered something in one of them.

When Nicole opened her locker the test papers were exposed to them and it even fell to the floor in large quantities. Nicole was very surprised as her eyes widened. Mr. Reyes was annoyed to see that Nicole had the lost test papers.

“It was you who took and hid the test papers!” shouted Mr. Reyes.

“No Sir! It’s not me!” Nicole’s refusal.

“How can you explain this, huh? It is obvious that you have all the missing paper.” Mr. Reyes said angrily.

“What I am saying is true! I don’t know how it got there!” Nicole explained tearfully.

When Mr. Reyes heard the shout of the other students and Teachers who were also in the locker room, they approached and inquired.

Mrs. Tuazon, Jake’s adviser, also approached them, and also asked Nicole.

“Did you get these test papers? Why did you do that?! You know you can be spJaned for what you did?” said Mrs. Tuazon.

Nicole, on the other hand, was scared when Mrs. Tuzon said she did not want to be expJaned from school because she still had many dreams in life. She did not realize her tears were slowly dripping down her cheeks.

“No… I did not do that.”

Nicole continued to refuse.
