"Help!" I yelled so loudly that it could deafen my ears. I slammed the door with my bare hands, banging on the door to get attention.

However, no one came. I couldn't hear footsteps, voices, or simply a heartbeat outside. I sat with my back against the door, feeling hopeless. Then, I had just realised that I had my phone. I pulled out my jeans' pockets, but my phone wasn't there.

I face palmed myself, knowing that my phone was in the dorm. I wrapped my legs with my arms and sat there pitifully. I was getting anxious, panicked. Tears formed in my eyes, slowly dripping.

Just then, I heard a groan. Alerted, my eyes were opened widely and my hands were in a defensive position. The voice said, "Are you going to stay and cry there?"

"Who are you?" I asked wanderingly. I couldn't make out where the voice came from.

Then, a shadowy figure rose behind the desks, the desks at the back of the classroom. He moved slowly towards where I was, making me feel scared. Then, a blinding light directed to my face, blinding me for a short while until my eyes adjusted to the light. It was a flashlight, shining its blinding light towards me. I pushed the flashlight towards the mysterious person, shining his face.

"Asher?" I said, stunned.

"Yes, I am the wonderful and the only Asher." He said arrogantly, flashing a smirk across his face.

"How the heck are you here?" I questioned him, curious to the fact that I was hyperventilating.

"It's a long story, so I'll start slow," He said. "First, that Serena freak kept bugging me about the last time we both watched the movie. She kept trying to prove that she's Cinderella, but it got annoying and emotional."

"What do you mean by that?" I asked him.

"She cried a lot and kept pulling my arm like an obnoxious child. So, I escaped into this classroom where she wouldn't find me. Besides, this classroom is quiet and cozy," He explained, smiling at his own words. "And then, you and your friends infiltrated this room of peacefulness."

I snorted at his words, saying, "Such complex words just for a part-timer."

"Hmm? Part-timer?" He asked me with confusion written all over his face.

"Yeah, a knight who works a part-" I said, stopping myself before I could finish saying part-time. He didn't tell me that, he told that to Cinderella. Oh god.

"How did you kno-" He said, before I shushed him with my index finger on his lips, I said, "Don't say a word, I can't stand listening to another word."

Surprisingly, he silenced himself. He sat next to me with his back leaning against the wall, not speaking at all. But, I was worried. There was a big chance that he knew that I was Cinderella, adding that idiotic statement I made. I couldn't read his gaze, his jade orbs were just too mysterious.

"Did you bring your cellphone?" I asked him, breaking off the silence. He shook his head no. I said, "You can speak again."

He didn't speak a word, only exhaling. I said, "Why didn't you bring your cellphone?"

His nose scrunched slightly in annoyance, averting his gaze away from me. Given this chance, I said, "How could you be such an idiot?"

"Hey! You also didn't bring your cellphone!" He finally bursted out in anger, eyeing me with his jade orbs.
