In a Tight Spot

You finally decided that there was nothing you could do.  Closing your eyes, you let yourself be consumed by the darkness of the locker.  Being exhausted by the day's events and being beckoned by the lack of light, you began to drift into a slumber.

        A voice woke you up.  You couldn't tell if you had just fallen asleep, if you had been asleep for hours, or if you even fell asleep at all.  If you had, it was a dreamless sleep.

        "Are you sure they came this way?" The voice asked, clearly talking to someone else.  It was a male voice that you recognized, but you were too tired to identify.

        You listened groggily, still being tired.

        "Yes. I'm certain, Kaoru. I watched them walk down this hallway." Another voice spoke.

        "I believe you, Hikaru, but there's no one here." The first voice responded.

        You were still too tired to realize who it was.  You started drifting off once more.

        "I'm telling you, he followed her down here!"

        You were jolted fully awake when your locker was punched out of frustration on the word 'here'.  Your situation quickly came back to you as you finally realized who it was.  It was the twins.

        The twins had actually been worried after you had left the club in such a hurry.  They noticed that soon after your departure, Kyoya left saying that he had some preparations to make.  Since they wanted to know what was going on, Hikaru followed after as Kaoru made an excuse for them.  By the time Kaoru caught up to his twin, there wasn't anyone around.  Even Hikaru had only heard Kyoya say a few words and laugh; he barely caught Kyoya leaving.

        Snapping out of your trance, you instantly began banging on the locker as loud as you could.  "Hikaru! Kaoru! Help me out of here!" You called out.

        "[y/n]-senpai?" Hikaru mumbled in shock.

        "How'd you get in there?" Kaoru wondered.

        "There's no time to ask her that, you idiot! We need to get her out of there!" Hikaru snapped.

        You couldn't hear anything else from outside the locker and questioned what was going on.

        Kaoru gave a nod in understanding.  They began to stare at the lock.  They both shrugged at one-another.

        "Um, [y/n]-senpai..." Kaoru began, "We need your locker combo." He finished.

        You were hesitant to give them the combination to your locker.  You paused for a good fifteen-to-twenty seconds before Hikaru called out to you.

        "Come on! If you don't give us your combo, we won't be able to help you!" Hikaru impatiently shouted.

        "Okay." You gave in, "Thirty-one," you waited to give them time to input it, "Forty-one... Fifty-nine."

        The locker door opened and the twins gave you a strange expression.  "Really?" They questioned, "Pi. That's your combination?"

        "Don't judge me." You snapped as you left the confining space.

        "How'd you get in the locker, Senpai?" They asked.

        You quickly thought of an excuse. "Well, I was facing my locker when it happened, so I didn't see much, but I'd imagine that it was a jealous fangirl of yours. Especially after you tried out that act on me."

        You knew that there were some flaws in your story although it could work.  If it were Tamaki, he'd buy it completely, but you saw that the twins were about to ask more questions.

        You quickly grabbed your stuff. "Sorry, guys, as I said before: I really do need to go," You began leaving swiftly, "See you around!"  You waved as you ran off.

        Just like that, you left to go home.
