Gloomy Night Rain

Among The Dead

"Wait, I... I think I saw a shadow behind you Ben!" Cameron stopped dead on his tracks with eyes opened wide. Ben froze on the spot and shrieked like a little girl before sprinting towards his two friends.

Andrei and Cameron lost it and started laughing at the clearly freaked out boy. Ben only glared at them and half-heartedly punched Cameron's arm. They were from a pretty wild party, but they didn't get white girl wasted because they still have to sneak in their dorm. In the end, all his sober friends told them each of their creepiest stories.

Let's just say that, the three boys are constantly checking behind them for some unwanted soul after that.

"Dude, you could've shamed a banshee." Andrei snickered.

"Yeah and could've gotten as caught. Lucky for us that it's 'round 3 and everyone's positively asleep." Cameron added.

"Well if you guys weren't such assholes and scare me like that." Ben retorted,  obviously unimpressed by their childish behaviours. Cameron looked guilty, and put an arm around him.

"Alright man, I'm sorry." Cameron said sincerely and Andrei almost gagged at how gay they looked. Ben looked satisfied and the three continued to walk- stumble towards their dorms. Cameron and Ben are roommates while Andrei shares a room with a really weird scene guy that has an unhealthy and disgusting obsession with worms.

He's not even kidding. He have like, 20 earthworms in these glasses and they all have names. It's crazy.

They were now in front of Cameron and Ben's room, and Cameron started feeling his jean pockets with a panicked expression.

"Now what?" Ben asked and Cameron looked up with a 'we're fucked' expression.

"I think I lost my keys." all three of them groaned and Andrei rubbed his face in frustration. Ben left his keys inside the room and there's no way they can get inside the room. Unless...

"Cam. Do you still have the keys to the office?" Ben asked and both boys looked at him like he have just grown a pair of boobs. Which would be fantastic, in Ben's opinion.

"Don't tell me you're going to Ms. Hallelujah's office...?" Cameron raised an eyebrow.

"Bitch it's Halula. And yeah, why? I thought I'm the pussy here." Ben smirked and Cameron gulped nervously.

Ms. Halula's office is in the top floor because she's a very creepy lady who hates any sort of human interaction. The top floor is abandoned for so many years, and the place is practically a storage room- except for the fact that the things there are just shoved carelessly. Ms. Halula's office is quite okay, though. But still, it's creepy as hell. Especially with all the rumors...

"Whatever. We're not going with you, though. Here." Cameron said and tossed the key to Ben.

"Return it in the morning." he said and Ben glared at him.

"You're also using the dorm, you should go with me and get the damn key." he protested.

"Why, Benjamin? You scared?" Cameron taunted, clearly knowing that Ben has the pride and ego of Ronnie fucking Radke. So being the proud boy he is, he pushed Cameron a little before storming to the opposite side of the hallway.

Andrei was amused with all of these, because he honestly thinks that the two of them acts like a married couple.

Cameron turned to him with a smirk, a smirk that screams he have a not-so-good idea.

"You know what," he began, and Andrei groaned.

"Here we go again." Cameron ignored him and continued excitedly.

"We should probably prove to Ben that he's not as brave as he made himself out to be. We should like, wound his ego a little because he's been such a little bitch lately and is pissed off with everything!" Cameron exclaimed and Andrei looked thoughtful for a moment.

"Plus, his reaction would be priceless." this made Andrei grin and the two boys nodded at each other.

"Man, I feel like Satan is dragging me down." Andrei exhaled in exhaustion as they reached the top floor. Both of the guys panted before laying flat on the cold, wooden floor. What can I say, they can barely even do a pushup.

After a few seconds, they finally recovered from the exhaustion and tiptoed across the hallway. The place is utterly trashed and the office is like the light at the end of the tunnel. Literally.

When they reached there, the door is open and there's Ben, his back turned and fumbling through the drawers. Without wasting any second, Cameron slammed the wooden door and turned off the lights. Ben screamed, and the two boys didn't even bother hiding their laughter.

"I'm so gonna film this shit." Andrei whispered before whipping his phone out.

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES! LET ME THE FUCK OUT!" Ben screamed and slammed his fists against the plastic doors.

The screaming and banging continued for another two minutes, and the two other boys are barely breathing in laughter. Then they noticed something on the the floor.

"Is that... piss?" Cameron burst out laughing and Andrei turned the camera to himself.

"And that, folks, is how my friend, Benjamin Hedricks reacts when he's scared." Andrei said and shut off the camera.

"Maybe we should open the door. The torture is enough." he suggested and Cameron nodded through his fit of laughter.

What they saw was something they haven't expected.

The office is nowhere near messy. It looks untouched, as if Ben didn't went in there and rummaged through that huge drawer. Cameron and Andrei exchanged nervous glances and searched for Ben.

Clearly, no one have been there and the fact made the two boys shiver in fear.

"What are you guys doing here?" both heads snapped to the door, finding Ben there, giving them an odd look.

The two boys made a mental agreement not to tell Ben anything about what really happened. They bullshit their way out of the interrogations on why they're both pale as fuck and almost shaking. The events of that night was forced to the back of their minds, trying really hard to get over it. The video is just randomly deleted, taking away the only evidence they had that night.
