The days at John Felix Academy blurred together. It felt kind of mixed up, with strange things happening. Walking around, I always felt like there was something creepy going on, like stuff wasn't quite right behind the scenes. One could say something sinister lurked beneath the surface, hidden behind the facade of normalcy.

At last, just like I feared, the school actually returned to It's normal self which is characterised by the displayance of strange or weird behaviours which emanates from students.

The students, with their peculiarities, seemed to embody the strangeness of the school itself. From the girl who always wore mismatched socks to the boy who insisted on reciting Shakespearean sonnets during lunch, It was like being in a play with strange characters everywhere.

Yet, amidst the chaos of weirdness, there were moments when everything seemed almost... normal. Students laughed and joked with each other, teachers smiled warmly as they greeted us in the corridors, and for a fleeting instant, it was easy to forget about the lurking shadows that haunted the school.

But those moments of respite were short-lived. Like a storm brewing on the horizon, the weirdness always returned, casting a shadow over everything once more.

Tutor Beatrice and Tutor John, in particular, seemed to revel in their newfound friendliness, their smiles masking something darker beneath the surface. Those two suddenly became extremely friendly to me than before. I always knew them as kind and friendly teachers, but the new displayance of kindness towards me hit my gut feeling and made me began to be suspicious of them. I've watched several films were certain characters becomes suddenly friendly or more friendly than usual to the main character and It always turns out to have been done with malicious intent.

"But could that be the case with Tutor John and Tutor Beatrice." That's what I thought as at that time.

I couldn't ignore the nagging feeling of unease that gnawed at me day and night. It was as if I was trapped in a nightmare from which I couldn't wake up, the walls of reality closing in around me with each passing moment.

As usual, during those school days, Amanda and Michael's company was always there to put my mind at ease sometimes. I thought of expressing myself to them as regarding the nagging feeling of unease I get about the school, but for some reason, unknown to me, I discharged the thought of telling them. I could sense they felt the same way with me but none of us was likely not bold enough to bring up the matter.

Desperate for answers, I turned to my mom once again, hoping against hope that this time she would take my concerns seriously. But as before, she brushed off my worries with a gentle smile, assuring me that everything was fine and that I was simply overthinking things.

Frustrated and disheartened, I retreated to my room, feeling more alone than ever. It was as if I was the only one who could see the truth, the only one who understood the darkness that lurked within the walls of John Felix Academy.

As I lay awake in bed, the events of the day swirling in my mind like a tempest, I vowed to uncover the truth, no matter the cost. I couldn't shake off the feeling that something terrible was about to happen, something that would shatter the fragile illusion of normalcy and reveal the true face of the school.

The next morning, I awoke with a sense of purpose burning in my chest. I knew that if I wanted to uncover the truth about John Felix Academy, I would need to dig deeper, to delve into the darkest corners of the school and confront the demons that lurked there.

With a steely determination, I set out to unravel the mysteries that surrounded me. I spent hours poring over old yearbooks in the school library, searching for any clues that might shed light on the school's dark past.

But the more I searched, the more elusive the truth became. It was as if the answers I sought were always just out of reach, slipping through my fingers like grains of sand.

Frustrated and exhausted, I began to lose hope. It seemed as if the darkness that enveloped John Felix Academy was impenetrable, an insurmountable barrier that no amount of searching could breach.

Soon later, I completely lost all hope and decided to endure it all till I finish from the school. "What an experience it would be before I finish from the school!" I thought.
