After the door has opened before Skyler.
She carefully inspected the surrounding area.
“There has to be some kind of mechanic around here”.
Skyler mumbled to herself. After carefully inspecting
the surrounding area, however, she did not find a thing.
She scratched her head and slowly approached the
door, while taking step for step on the creaking floor.
As she peeked her head through the door, surprisingly.
There was nothing to see inside. It was just several
office chairs neatly put next to each other. When
Skyler took a closer look to the chairs. There was not
anything to see beside some spider webs with a
tiny spider resting in the middle with multiple flies
trapped in her web. On the tables there were a few
computer which was not extremely old. Skyler
guessed it was around 10 years old. Skyler tried
turning them on but then realised there was no
electricity in here, afterwards she facepalmed.
“It is an abandoned school with computers that
Are at least 10 years old, of course there is no
Electricity” she sighed embarrassed. The window
behind the computer from the reception. Was
filled up with dust making it hard to see what
was behind it because of the dark. But Skyler
was sure there was a faint orange light behind it.
Either that or she is going insane already 30 minutes in.
At the back of the reception there were quite some
file cabinets. Skyler turned around and looked at them
Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.
“Maybe I can find information that can help me with finding
a way out.” She said to herself and started searching.

However, after searching for a while Skyler was not able to find anything significant.
The thing that intrigued her the most was that most of the documents stopped around
April 2010.
That would most likely mean that the school closed down somewhere in
April 2010.
As Skyler put the documents back, she found a few keys that she took with
her in case.
Then she tried opening the exit and till her surprise it was already open.
As the door slowly opens with a creaking noise, the other side of the rubble was shown.
Skyler shocked and gasped to air when she found a skeleton with still flesh left on a few
Parts rotting, leaning against the rubble with a stinking smell coming from the body.
When Skyler saw it she turned around the very second and walked out of the hall to the large door at
the end.
Unlike the previous door this one was locked tight.
When looking around there was mainly lockers and a few bins spread around and broken tiles on the floor.
With the dim moonlight shining through a small window all the way up facing downwards.
Skyler started her search looking in the bins which were empty and then each locker one by one.
To Skyler’s disappointment no key was found.
The only thing she found was a few sheets which seems to
be ripped out of a diary of some sort.
When she started reading it, she realised quickly that it
was a first-year student’s record of her first school day.
Skyler gulped at this thought, there actually
was an old record from before whatever happened to this school.
When she read the date, she was even more intrigued.
It was from September 2009, the start of the school year in which the
documents from the reception abruptly ended.

" April 2009 – First day
It took a while, but I am finally able to start my high school in the class from ‘09.
The classes are called after the year they started. I heard from my older sister that back in her day there were more than one new class each year.
But the popularity somewhat decreased after an incident.
I do not really know the details because I have not seen my sister since 2005. But I do hope I could find someone who knew her to maybe get more information.
Until this day I am still not sure why my parents were against me signing up for this school.
However, I am no longer the little girl that they were able to hold on a leash.
I am growing up and because of this I can also make my own choices.
But enough about that time to explore my new school!”
It was only two sheets but it kind of looks incomplete, so Skyler took it with her in case the other sheets of the diary were found while exploring the school.
After putting them away suddenly the decaying school hall she just stood in suddenly changed.
The missing tiles, cobwebs and wood that colored dark have changed back each, the tiles got repaired,
the cobwebs are no more, and the wood is chestnut brown.
Even the lockers were not rusty anymore.
Then when she turned around, she saw a girl with long blonde hair, walking with a diary in her hand and some schoolbooks.
“Alright so the introduction is in the inner garden, that means we have to go through the canteen at the right and then take the exit north of the canteen. Then walk the hallway out there and we are in the inner garden.”
She told a young boy with short red hair he replied shortly after
“Alright any clue what we will be doing today?” the girl sighed and shook her head.
“This is also my first time on this school, I got no clue” the boy scratches his head and replied,
“Well at least I know you from elementary school, it is good to have someone familiar with you.”
The duo laughed and talked a bit and left through the door that was locked which was open right now.
Skyler not wanting to waste this chance ran after them but then felt a sharp pain against her head then she fell over to the back the area slowly turning back to its former decaying self.
