Strange School

7. Continues....

"I know that I am good-looking, but could you please stop gazing at me like that?" Daniel inquired.

"Huh! Oh, sure," I responded trying to hide my embarrassment.

Then Daniel began to look at me, and I started to feel bashful. It was as if he didn't stop gazing at me I would do something very out of line to him. My upcoming thoughts becoming more and more intense and dirty at the same time.
"You didn't respond. Are you okay now? Do you still feel dizzy?" he asked.

It was then that I realized he wasn't looking at me because I looked good, but rather for my response.

"Oh, I... I am fine now," I replied.

"Do you want something to eat? I will cook for you," he asked.

"No, no, it's fine. I am not hungry." However, my growling stomach disagreed with what I said and proved that I lied.

"Wait for some time. I will make some noodles for you."He insisted.

As I looked around the house, I observed a modern blend of ancient and contemporary elements. The two-story structure features three rooms connected by a hallway on the first floor and another room on the second floor. Many alluring ancient paintings adorn the walls, and the well-kept furniture adds to the appeal. Yet, there is something peculiar – a locked room on the second floor.

I was looking at it and Daniel came with a bowl of noodles in his hands.

"Here, eat it," he said.

I was eating but still nagging about that room upstairs and again all those occurrences happening in my life these days.

"You said you would reply to all the questions I had," I said.

"Yeah, sure, you can ask anything, and I will reply to every question you ask."

"What is this 2X abode? And When did I become a member of it? What happened at the school?"

I want to ask about everything that's why I asked so much at once.

"2X Abode is our base. It's for people like us and you are a member of it from the very beginning. It was decided before you took birth," he replied.

"People like us... What do you mean? Who am I? Say it clearly."

I was still very confused about all these things.

"Are you sure? Your life will be completely changed after this."

I strongly wanted all the answers despite caring about my life or anything. I want to know about everything very clearly. So, I answered affirmatively.

"Okay, come with me I will take you somewhere," he said.

"Where are we going?"

"Again question!! Okay, no worries. You will see when we reach there."He said while leading me to the car.

I had no idea where he was taking me but still, I was going with him.

After some time,

"Get down the car. We are here."
He said.

I got down in a hurry and was excited to see it.

"What??? Are you serious!!!"

"Yeah, very sure."

"A graveyard."
