Mystic Academy

Chicken Rice Distraction!

For some reason I couldn't move at all.

Crystal: What!? (Shouting)

Looking back, I saw that my shirt was caught in between a classroom door and holding me back.

Crystal: Ugh, to be caught at a time like this! (thinking)

Stranger: What are you doing?!

Crystal: . . . !

The guy's tone of voice made me jump in surprise.

Crystal: I need to get out of here! (thinking)

But I couldn't free myself, no matter how hard I tried to pull the door open. . .

The guy slowly approached me, only adding to my panic.

Stranger: Oh I see now. Your shirt got caught.

I continued to struggle as the guy moved behind me. I could sense him inspecting my shirt over my shoulder.

Stranger: You've probably never see the door sign that says push. . .

The guy said with a smile while pointing at the door sign which says "PUSH". But I didn't hear him because I was too distracted in trying to free myself.

Stranger: You'll tear your shirt if you keep that up... Just stay still for a bit.

All I could do was cringe as he went closer to me and stretched his arm toward me.

Crystal: He's too close (blush) He's... not going to hurt me, is he? (thinking)

I held my breath, but the guy's hand went straight for the door, it was clear that he was trying to help me. But I tried so hard to free myself... The guy easily free me with one push on the door causing the door to open, making my efforts meaningless.

Stranger: There, you're free.

Crystal: Um, thank you very much.

Stranger: It's a good thing I got you free.

The guy beamed and I found myself returning a vague smile. I thought for a while and realised something.

Crystal: Wait, but aren't you a gangster?

Stranger: Hmm... I'm not really a gangster but close enough.

Satisfied with himself, he began to dramatically running his fingers through his hair.

Stranger: Heh... I'm a nice guy, you know? (Proudly smile)

Crystal: If you do say so yourself,  Mr gangster guy.

I replied shortly at his proud smile.

Crystal: What am I doing? This is not the time to be having a normal conversation with a gangster. I need to get away! (thinking)

Just as I was thinking about my escape...

Stranger: Hey. What's your name?

Crystal: . . .

Stranger: I know it's bad to talk to strangers, so I'll tell you my name. My name's Ernest.

I'm sure he thinks that I will tell him my name but...NO... I'm not gonna trust him just because he told me his name. I will not show him any weaknesses, I need to make my escape.

Crystal: Thank you, but I'll be going now...

I smiled, turned around, and broke into a run.

Ernest: Ok see you! Be careful. Wait a minute. . . (silence) Hey wait! Why are you running away?! (shouting)

I heard him calling behind me but I pressed on without looking back. . . In the end he caught up with me in no time.

Crystal: Hey! Why are you following me? (Gasping for air)

I was out of breath, but his face showed no hint of exhaustion. On top of that he was looking at me without looking where he was running.

Ernest: But I thought we introduced ourselves, so why don't we be friends?

Crystal: This guy is crazy... (thinking)

Ernest: Oh hey, I really love eating Chicken Rice and I can eat it about 3 times a day! (Grin)

Crystal: This is ridiculous! Why is he trying to talk to me at a time like this!? (Thinking)

Ernest: What about you?

Crystal: Stop following me already! (yelling)

Ernest: Why are you angry? Is it that time of the month? *tilted his head*

Crystal: Ugh! You idiot! (Pissed off)

As I was yelling my head off, I noticed one of Ernest's hand is in my back pocket of my shorts...

Crystal: Ahh!...

I slapped his hand away.

Ernest: Ouch! What you do that for?

Crystal: You pervert!

Ernest: Excuse me?

Crystal: Urgh! I can't take it anymore! But I've got an idea. (Thinking)

I stopped running and he followed me just as I expected, readying myself. I took a deep breath. . .

Crystal: Look! There's a large mountain of delicious Chicken Rice over there!

I yelled and pointed off in a random direction.

Ernest: What! Where? (Turn around)

Crystal: Now's my chance! (thinking)

While he was distracted, I took off running as fast as I could.

Ernest: Hey where is the mountain? (turn around) She, she got away. . .

I left poor Ernest behind in confusion.

Crystal: Phew... I think I got away from him this time

I turned to look around and there was no trace of him. Relieved, I crumpled down gasping for air.

Crystal: I can't believe he actually fell for that... good thing some people are simple minded.

Just then something fall out of my back pocket.

Crystal: Hmm? What's this?

I pick it up to find a pad in my hand...

Crystal: Huh? I don't remember having this... (thinking) OMG I FINALLY HAVE A PAD!?!

Afterwards Crystal ran to the toilet. . .

Crystal: Phew, thank goodness I have a pad in my pocket. . . But how is it possible to have a pad in my pocket? Maybe I accidentally left it in my pocket.

After I walked out of the toilet, I started searching for Dorm 666.
