I leave the classroom with all my stuff after the last bell had rung. I was ready to just go home but then I notice Negenama running towards me. I stop and wait on her.

"Hey Hakuoh! I found out more about the club!" she exclaims, out of breath.

"How? It's only been four hours!"

"Talking to teachers of cour-"

"YOU DID WHAT?!" I yell.

"Don't worry class wasn't in session and they actually didn't mind talking about it for some reason.. I found out where the club room is!"

"Wait..really?" I ask, intrigued.

"Mhm! It's on the part of the school that only the juniors use."

"That's strange, I thought you said they were seniors."

"They are! They just had to use a room in that hall."

"Ohh"

Negenama nods and suggests we go there. I wanted to refuse but something in me just couldn't. We head to that part of the school and eventually reach the club room.

"B13, I'll remember that" I say, not knowing if I am speaking to her, myself, or something else.

Negenama pulls out her phone and snaps a picture of the door, probably just in case I forgot.

"Should we go in?" she asks.

"I think we should gather a little more information before entering."

"Ah alright, well I'm gonna go home, bye Hakuoh!" she happily exclaims before waving goodbye to me.

"Oh, bye Negenama." I wave to her and just like that, she leaves.

I take a glance at the inside of the club room through a window. It looks like a normal classroom, no one would ever suspect anything bad happened. Temptation to enter begins to rise but I fight it. After standing in front of the door for a few more minutes I leave and head home. I walk to my house, not living too far from the school. As soon as I enter the house I head to my room, not even bothering to speak with my parents. I set my things down and pull out my folder that contained the homework for the day. Eventually I finish the homework and put it back into my folder. I pull out my laptop and search the name of my school with the year "2017" following. I click on "News" and sure enough there are headlines about the incident. I click on an article with the title "Tragedy at Toshina High School: 3 female students found dead".  I begin to read, shocked at the information right in front of me.

"I have to tell Negenama about this." I say to myself before checking my phone.

Huh? That's strange. As I unlock my phone I notice I have twenty unread messages. I open the messaging app to find that I've been put in a group chat with Negenama and three others.

"Um.. Hello?" I text.

Negenama replies almost instantly "Hakuoh! These are my friends who are also interested in that legend!"

She has got to be kidding, I don't want a full investigation group! God, this girl is gong to be the

"Um.. Hi, my name is Chloe"

"I'm Aki"

"And I'm Cole" 

"Oh hi.. as you all know my Name is Hakuoh.."

I add the numbers into my contacts, knowing I will meet them in person later. The five of us all chat for a bit until I'm called to dinner by my father. I put my phone down and head to the table where I see my parents awaiting my arrival. I talk with them while eating my meal, not bringing up the whole literature club thing. I finish my plate and place my dish in the sink before heading back into my room. I do everything I needed to do for the afternoon, like taking a bath, and head to bed. Exhausted, I turn off my lights and flop onto the bed, pulling the sheets over me. I close my eyes, wondering what tomorrow may hold, and fall asleep.
