Welcome to High School: Parte Deux by Euphoria Writer (accelerated reader books txt) 📕

There was a suspended silence hanging in the room at that moment. No one was smiling or having a good time anymore, we were all silent and shocked. When I saw Tino limp in Arthur's grasp with the buttons on his costume undone and hickeys beginning to bloom around his neck, I suddenly felt very protective of my friend. Getting up from my spot, I crossed the room with haste and grabbed the light and small boy from Arthur, bringing him towards one of the couches and laying him down on it. Tino had a terrified look in his eyes that was worse than Arthur's look of terror. His body still shook from shock, most of his green makeup was smudged and rubbed off his face. I took off his green helmet and shushed him when the water in the corner of his eyes began to well up drawing a sob from his lips.
"How did this happen!" Raivis demand snapping out of the shock and snapping the other club members from their state of shock as well.
"We were making good progress! I even surveyed the area for a while, everything was running so smoothly dammit!"
I bowed my head down in shame. How could we let something like this slip? We were the club that stood for keeping things like this from happening, but we couldn't even prevent this from happening to our own club member. And I should of never left Tino's side for a single second. I felt a presence kneel beside me, I turned my head to see that it was Kiku. We held a silent look between the two of us before our attention went back to the sobbing Tino. His saddening sounds made my heart hurt with regret and sadness making my eyes sting with water rushing to them.
"I`m sorry," I whispered placing my forehead against the couch in shame.
"Mattie...? Why are you crying?" Tino spoke softly, I felt his hand weave through my hair in some kind of comfort, but I didn`t deserve it.
"I`m so sorry I left you, I won’t blame you for hatting me," I sniffed trying to dry my tears.
"Hey," Tino's hand went from my head down to cup my cheek so he could lift my head up to face him. "I can`t hate you, cause I..." there was a distant look in his eyes and Tino was being a bit hesitant in his words.
"Because I need you, you`re my moral support and my best friend Matthew."
"Tino-"
"Ok! Everyone! We need to get some water, blankets and a laptop in here, because we have some work to do!" Raivis announced before I could say another word.
Raivis took a couple strides over to where Tino was and placed a hand on his forehead, as if he was a mother checking her child's temperature. "You ok there Tino? Don't worry were gonna work on finding who did this to you so we can make sue to keep you safe. I`m sorry we let this happen, we`re still amateurs when it comes to running this club, but we will understand if you decide to leave the club."
Tino gave Raivis a shy smile. "Thank you, but I`m not going to leave, I was planning on going if I was in the club or not, but it helps that I have a lot of support with me," Tino turned his head towards Arthur who was standing in the corner.
"Thank you for saving me," Tino said cutely making Arthur blush and turn his head to the side.
"It was nothing, any person walking by would of done the same thing," Arthur said coldly in a bit of a shy way.
"Hey guys, I don’t like to be your rain cloud on the situation, but the door is locked," Toris reported from the entrance.
"What! Let me try!" Raivis said in a shrieked voice, stomping over to the door where Toris stood by and gave it a try.
The door made a noise refusing to move. In anger Raivis tried again and again, but the door did not open. With stress heavy on his shoulders, Raivis turned around to face the other club members and twiddled his fingers around in his hands.
"Ehehe... We`re gonna be here for a while," Raivis said with a happy face, just before all hell broke loose.
Everyone that wasn`t tending to Tino or standing in the corner of the room looking cool (Arthur and Emil), went all AWOL on Raivis and Toris. Except for Feliciano, he was just sitting on a cushion worrying if he still had his instant pasta packet in his pockets of his cowboy costume he was currently wearing.
"Theres no way I`m going to be stranded in a dark room on Halloween night!" Yao yelled at Raivis.
"EVERYONE CALM THE FUCK DOWN!" Lovino shouted so loud that my ears rang a bit in the aftershock.
Pulling out his fake sword, Lovino pointed his sword skyward with his black cape blowing from a wind that was coming from somewhere.
"Have no fucking fear! Didn't you asswipes forget that you have a fucking soccer player in your club, I can just kick the door down, now out of the way pansies!" Lovino said with a smug look on his face.
Without warning Lovino let out a loud battle cry and lunged at the door, swinging his leg back and then swing forward at the door, striking it like lightning, and boy did it sound like thunder hit the door when a loud band came from it. But to everyone’s disappointment, the door did not budge, and Lovino was hopping on one foot hissing.
"Fratello, dont`t injure your foot, you need to play forward on the next game," Feliciano said as he tended his brother`s injury.
"Sigh, that did us no good hey Emil do you have your cell?... Emil?" Raivis called out for his friend.
Everyone else turn heads and looked around for the Club's mysterious leader. But for some reason the Icelandic boy was nowhere, not in the corner of the room, or under a bed, or even collapsed under an avalanche of pillows.
"Hey guys, Kaoru is gone too," Yao said in a worried manner.
"What? Guys this isn`t funny, come on out now," Raivis said nervously.
"Liet I`m scared," Felik said grabbing Toris's arm.
While my back was turned to Tino, the Finnish boy decided to wrap his arms around Matthew's neck from behind and hugged himself against Matthew’s back. Kiku noticed this getting a feeling of jealousy of the Finn and decided to scoot a little bit closer to his Canadian friend. Then the same wind that blew Lovino's cape blew in hard, smothering the candles and making things go pitch black.
"Waaaah! Hold me Liet!" Felik cried.
"Ow! You just kicked me in the nose, what the hell are you trying to do Felik?"
"...Jump into your arms."
"Well I can't respond to that when the lights are off."
"Then can we have sex?"
"Marriage first!"
"So you will go out with me?"
"Would you two shut the fuck up!" Lovino snapped half because he was annoyed and because his foot was still throbbing.
"Be nice Lovi," Feliciano fretted.
"Can someone hand me the matches?" Raivis asked.
"Hey who touched my arse!" Arthur yelled.
"..(Silence).."
"A-Arthur, you`re the only one alone in the corner last time I checked," I said with a slight stutter.
"KYYYYAAAAA! It’s the ghost of Elizabeta, she`s come to take revenge on us all!" Felik wailed.
"That’s not how the story goes you wanker!"
"Then would you finish up where Emil left off while I relight the candles?" Raivis asked.
"Ugh, fine! Where did he leave off at?"
"He was telling us how her friends began believing the rumor Duchess told," Feliciano informed him.
"Ok... So, her friends began to believe the rumors themselves without any confrontation from Elizabeta to know if it was true or not. Then Elizabeta started doing some reckless things, she smoked behind the school, had a three some with the football star and head cheerleader on campus and rearranged a girl's face with a skillet... So they heard. Those are all rumors, and as they rose along with other rumors, the more they became believable, even when she started to pray to god why she must suffer none of her prayers were answered. She soon became an outcast of the school with all the rumors buzzing around, with no friends and no more belief in god, she didn't even confront the staff or her family about it. So one day, she locked herself in the chemistry lab on the third floor of the school and with a sad departure, she started an oil fire and the school burned down to nothing but ashes, her body never found. The End."
The candles were now lit up and the room was much more brighter, but because it was brighter it also meant we could see each other, including the intruding guest. Standing behind Arthur on top of a mountain of pillows was a girl with long brown hair and beautiful green eyes. She wore a white lace nightgown that had made a ghostly effect with the candles illuminating her. We were all gawking at her wide eyed and a bit scared. Arthur took it the wrong way and thought everyone was staring at him.
"B-but i-it’s just a silly ghost story told to scare Freshmen, h-hey why are you guys looking at me like that?" Arthur said scratching the back of his head nervously.
Feliciano, the only one not scared or wide eyed at the moment, pointed at the girl behind Arthur and with a smile he said: "There’s a pretty girl behind you."
Slowly, with his skin crawling with goose bumps, Arthur turned around and looked up at the girl atop of her pillow thrown with no expression on her face.
"Helló," she said softly.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH, GHOST!” Arthur cried trampling over pillows while trying to escape.
While during his attempt to run away from the ghost, the club members by the table where Arthur was done telling the story, got up and started running all over the place. When they went all chaotic and ballistic, I was giving Tino a piggyback ride over to the nearest mountain of pillows to hide behind.
"Ok, I think we'll be fine here," I said.
All of a sudden the floor beneath Tino and I vanished under the floor landing in a
