Missing

Chapter One

~Part -Nine~

*Criiing*

I was startled when all of my classmates raised into the room all at once. I frowned once I saw Mr. Pierce,the terror professor came in after them. So that explains everything? I felt a little relief. I thought it was him. Knowing him is also a mystery to me. I can't quiet figure out if it's his work. I still want to be sure. Such a big liar.
I came back to my senses when I heard a loud crash. It came from behind me,I looked up and saw everyone staring at me,no they were staring behind me. I slowly looked behind and was astounded for what I saw. A big black bird............

It was then a huge statue. I know I almost got you. I was just joking. It was a huge billboard which is a map.

"What lies there is where we are heading."

Wait what? It was late when I found out that Mr. Pierce was the one who made a crash,that was to call my attention. But why did I heard the crash behind me? weird. I looked at Andrew who seemed to be surprised,I followed to where he was looking. At the map,behind me. I noticed that there is a red circle around a place addressed "Clitton Hills". That was new. I never had heard of it.

"Hey,Ray. Spacing out again?"

I jumped to an extent that I almost fell off my chair.

"You got a serious problem in there huh?"

Leila sighed out. This girl was always friendly towards me,ever since first day. She might've found out that I am mysterious that's why she got curious about me. Sorry for her cause I never let my guard down. Not now. I shot her a smile and just shrugged.

"Want to join me for lunch?"

I was hesitant at first but I ended up nodding and she grinned. The day went off well,instead of me going home again which is I hate a little. I never wanted to be home. All I do was stare at the ceiling,I don't watch television except for movies. I spend most of my time reading or watching movies.

  Before mom would come,I texted her that my friend and I has something to buy at the mall. The friend part wasn't true,but the mall thing is. I need to buy me a new book. Something to add on to my collections.

I went to my favorite bookstore at the mall bit it was closed. So I decided to roam around the town  and look for a good bookstore. After miles of walking I eyed an old structure that has an old bark hanged on one of its pillar with bold written letters that reads "LIBRARY".

I smiled and went inside while hopping. I open the large door and it made a creaking sound that made me squeak. But it was all gone as soon as I saw what is inside this large structure. Wow was the only word that can describe this view I see.

I scanned the room for a while searching for the librarian but I can't see anyone. The doors went banging as a loud wind blew it. I was shocked but I quickly recovered. I walked slowly along the hallway of the filled room. Huge books shelves blocked the sunlight to brighten up this old library. I felt a little curious about how on earth did they got all of these books? there were guide lines though,not based on their genres but based on where they came from. I mean the country. As I walk slowly I remembered our retreat at school. Clitton Hills,I wonder where was it located. I searched for the name of our country and looked for the Encyclopedia. Wow,complete verse. Nice. I looked for the place's name but there weren't any. Hmm,weird.
