Trapped With You

I was typing down all the necessary information for my research after class was finished, the whole classroom was already empty then Xia came in with something in her hands.

"So uh, the prof said you have to bring this to the storage room h-hehe." Xia handed me a box of blank papers. I stared at her with doubt.

"Can't you do this yourself? It doesn't even look heavy."

"But Yujiii! Come on, help your girlfriend out." She yelled crying.

"I'm busy with our research."

"Huuu… please?" Then she pulled out her puppy eyes on me, it only led me to look at her with disgust. "Ugh, what is wrong with you?"

"Tsk, you're so hard to charm."

"Because you're charmless." I laughed.

"Whaaaat!?" She looked at me with disbelief. "For your information, most people called me a cutie. I had a lot of people that liked me and those that I turned down as well. You should feel lucky to have me as your girlfriend."

All her yadayada made me laugh even more. I find it fun to tease Xia at times that I can, she's not wrong about herself though. She's an absolute adorable creature. I pinched her puffed cheeks while I was laughing, and that caused her to be shocked of my sudden behavior.

"I'm sorry hahaha! Fine, fine. I'll help you with this, but you have to continue the research while I store this." I told her.

She became happy as I done her a favor. She immediately sat down on my seat and began to type it all. "Be safe on your way there, I heard there's ghosts lingering around the corridors from the storage room." She warned.

"Uh-huh, seems like that's the reason why you don't want to go there."

She didn't even deny it. "Of course! I hate ghosts!" I can't believe she's such a brave girl to confess her feelings, yet she's a coward when it comes to ghosts.

As I made it to the storage room, I found a note that's slid out underneath the door. It was a weird note that says 'help'. "Spooky." I said with a bored face. I took the note and crumpled it.

It's distasteful how young adults are still act like this, doing pranks like this are just immature. When I opened the door, the lights were already opened and I quickly stored this papers away. The atmosphere was quite eerie inside the storage room, I had goosebumps on both arms and legs.

I was about to open the door to get out of the storage room, I freaked out when the door won't open. "Fuck!" I yelled.

"…hmm?" A voice hummed.

It even made me more terrified, was the ghost real!? "W-Who's there!?" I yelled again, scared out of my wits.

"Oh Yuji!"

"Huh? Toma?… what are you doing here!?"

"Well I was sleeping--ahh no, I actually had to return something here and I got stuck in this storage room. The door won't open from the inside." He said.

"So I'm stuck here… with you." I mumbled, realizing how unfortunate I am right now.

"Aww geez, I thought you're here to help me. Well, atleast we're stuck together!" He managed to laugh despite our situation. I stayed silent, but in the back of my head, there was a internal screaming.
