We make our way to the teacher's lounge. I'm regretting my decision...

¨Okay now let's see if we can get in¨ I hear Ace say as he stands in front of the door.

¨See if its unlocked first¨ I tell him

He turns the knob but it's not doing anything.

¨Hmmm okay well.....Oh I know I will go get a knife from the cafeteria and we can see if it will unlock it.¨ He said

¨I don't think a knife is going to work¨ I tell him

¨Yeah it is I used to do that to open my moms door¨ He tells me

¨Okay, I wait here¨ I tell him and he nods

¨I got 2 knives because I didn't know which one would be better¨ He told me holding up the two knives

¨Okay that's great, but can you put the knives down you look like you're going to kill me¨ I said

¨Whatever¨ He mumbled

He tried with both of the knives but none of them

¨I knew the knives weren't going to work¨ I mumbled

¨Well do you have a better idea?¨ He asked in a weird tone

"Yes I do actually" I said

I got in front of the door and took a bobby pin from my hair and picked the lock.

I managed to unlock the door and I opened it

"And there it is" I told Ace as I held the door opened and signaled with my arm towards the inside of the teacher's lounge.

He rolled his eyes and went inside. I followed behind him.

We both looked around the lounge in awe.

I spotted 3 vending machines that were against a wall. I also found a mini-fridge. I walked towards it and opened the door, and sat down on the floor. I found something wrapped in tinfoil. Right next to it was diet coke. On the shelf under that one, there were 2 strawberry yogurt cups. 

"I guess they did forget food" I say.

"Really?" He said walking towards me and looked in the mini-fridge

"What's that?" he said pointing in the fridge

"What? This?" I said pointing to the thing that was wrapped in tinfoil

¨Yeah¨ He replied

"Let's see" I said as I reached for it

"Before I open it, what do you think it is?" I asked him

"I don't know probably a container with apple slices" He guessed

"I think it's a sandwich" I told him

I peel the tinfoil and see a sandwich

"Hey I was right!" I said happily

"Heh. Are you hungry?" Ace asks me

"Not really. I'm kinda used to not eating, considering the fact that my parents starved me growing up." I say as I get up

I walk to the vending machines and look in one. I feel arms wrap around me and give me a hug.

"I'm sorry you went through all of that" I hear Ace say. His deep voice is just so....I can't explain it, and the fact that he cares for me is just...EEK!

"You don't need to be sorry for anything. Things like that happen but we just need to push through." I told him

"How can you say that? Almost your whole life has been torture, yet you stay so positive. How?" He asked me
