DETENTION: Nothing goes unpunished.

Chapter Four

"I won! Well, now that everything is done, now, we cannot fight over who's doing what okay?" Angela said.

They just finished the game of rock, paper, scissor and this is how it went. The loser will be assigned and the winner gets to compete for the remaining cleaning slots.

They first competed on who's going to clean the dorm bathroom for boys. As there were only two boys, Simon and Charlee, it's only them who competed for that. Simon won and Charlee is now assigned for the boy's bathroom as its cleaner. They competed for the girl's bathroom next and Rika lost to Angela, as the rules go, Rika will be in charge of the girl's bathroom. The next competition was against Emerald and Alice, Emerald lost to Alice she's now in charge of cleaning the girl's dorm room. As the only boy left Simon was assigned to clean the boy's room. Lastly, Angela went against Alice, Angela won against her so Alice will be in charge laundry and Angela will be in charge of the dishes.

"Damn it! Doing the laundry is harder than washing dishes Angel!" Alice complained.

"Girl, I won fair and square, so you shouldn't complain duh?"

"And doing laundry is better than cleaning the bathroom Alice! Do you wanna exchange with me? I'll gladly do the fucking laundry" Rika mentioned.

"No thanks, I hate stinky places girl"

"Guys, everything is settled in cleaning, but, who's gonna cook? Does anyone of you know how to cook?" Emerald asked and looked at them one by one.

The group seemed to agree on one thing and just looked at Rika who was busy looking at her fingernails when she felt their gaze land at her.

"Uhm? Why are you all looking at me like that?" She asked.

"You're the only one who has chains of hotels and restaurants, so we think you might be the best candidate for the position of cook." Angela smiled at her.

"What?! Oh no no no, you guys can't make me cook, I mean I know a little bit on how to do it, but I can't get my perfectly painted nails be ruined duh?" She said while rolling her eyes.

"So, you wanna starve yourself and us then?" Simon asked.

"There has to be someone other than me who knows how to cook!"

"I lived alone in my condo, I can try if you want, but I cannot guarantee the taste and texture including the color of the food I will make." Emerald jokingly said.

"I don't want to eat what Em will make, it might be something out of this world and I cannot digest it ha-ha!" Said Charlee.

"Just do it Rika! Stop being stubborn or we'll all starve to death" Simon ordered.

"I'm not your servant Griego!" Rika shouted...

"Rika, just do it please? You're the best candidate for that." Angela pleaded.

"Okay, okay!" Rika agreed, Rika and Angela have been friends since kindergarten and Rika cannot say no whenever Angela asks favors from her, she might say no to everybody but not to Angela.

Internet is not available in the dorms so the group decided to just watch TV and sit on the couch, hang out and chat all they long, it's a Sunday morning when the principal dropped them off there and their class will not start until tomorrow.

Lunch time came and Rika, as the one in charge for cooking went to the kitchen to look for some ingredients. She was about to open the fridge when she saw something pass by through her peripheral vision that made her look at the side where she thinks she saw the movement. She slowly walked towards the area but no one was there.

"Hmmm...that's weird" She told herself but didn't put much attention to it and went back to the fridge to get some tomatoes and onions. After that she started cleaning them off and chopped them.

When Rika was done cooking, she called everyone and they ate in the dining area of the dorm. While eating she asked them if any of them passed by the kitchen while she was cooking.

"No, we were all at the living room just watching a movie, we don't know how to cook anyways so why would we bother going to the kitchen." Alice said while chewing on her food.

"I don't know, maybe one of you got thirsty and wanted to drink water maybe?" She asked.

"Nah, impossible, we took two full water containers before we started watching, we took some snacks too so we won't be standing up while watching." Charlee answered.

"Or maybe, it was ghost don't you think Rika?" Emerald teasingly said.

"Duh? Those kinds of things aren't real Em"

"We don't know maybe they're just there somewhere waiting to grab you! Hahaha" Angela jokingly said to while grabbing Rika by the arm which made her jolt.

"Hey! Angel stop it!" She said in fright.

"Just kidding! Hahaha!"

"You're such a scaredy cat Rika, it's lunch time and there's no such thing as ghosts" Simon said to Rika teasing her.

"Duh? I know right? I was just asking, it's no big deal"

"Then why do you look so scared then?"

"I don't look scared; I was just asking if any of you passed by"

"You're not scared? Really?" Alice asked.

"Yeah really" she replied.

"Then why are you pale?"

"I'm not Alice, can we just go back to eating?"

"Okay then, if you say so."

They all went back to eating and Rika never asked about the incident again.
