I Want A Normal Life: No Romance
#03 - Attacks Later
The next day, I left school without waiting for Tino or the girl at the stop, I went straight to class to see what I had done last night.
BEEPING
I went straight into a class where there were no people.
“Hah?!”
I was shocked when I saw the end of the class, the door I had covered with duct tape, the duct tape was gone.
“Why??”
I remember that there was no one else at school yesterday.
“Do-not..”
I ran out of class again and into the next class.
BEEPING
“What?!”
The duct tape covering ‘Depress’ Doors in other classes also disappeared.
“Ke-why can?”
...
I went back to class confused.
Put down the bag and sit in confusion.
“Why can, huh??”
BEEPING
I looked straight at the door.
“I don't know why Razox wasn't there.”
It was Tino along with the girl.
“Eh?” Tino looked at me who was already sitting.
“Razox! Where have you been?!”
“I was waiting for you at the stop!”
“Ribet know if you do this alone!”
Tino kept mumbling, while I didn't listen to her. I am still confused as to what has happened. Do I have to keep an eye on that door 24 hours so no one comes in?
“...”
I looked around the class, I hope there's a clue.
“...”
“At least let me know first!” Complain Tino.
“This should be the last time.” Complaints again.
“Tino, come on, take me to my desk first.” Say the girl.
“Uh, alright.” Tino said in a smooth tone.
I could hear a squeak coming out of the wheelchair.
And then Tino sat next to me.
“...”
“You better save my contacts and Love.”
“...”
“Aha!” Suddenly I screamed.
At the end of the room, there is a CCTV camera, why do I realize it now?
It looks like CCTV is the one who released the act, more precisely the person who watches the CCTV, but who?
I have to find out.
BEEPING
The door opens, and Ivi enters.
“Ivi, do you know where we can see the CCTV footage of this school?”
“Hah? Where'd I know! I just arrived! After all it is not possible for schools to provide CCTV footage in general.” He replied in a trenchant tone, it seemed that it was because he had just arrived.
“Maybe!” Say the girl.
“Eh? That right? You tau? Where?” I asked who was very curious.
“Entai,”
“but may be in the monitor room.”
“Padala this school facility is complete.” Tino.
“...”
“Alright, later I will try to find it there.”
...
...
...
The break time arrived, I went straight to the 1st floor without telling Tino first.
First of all, I went to the computer lab, maybe there's the recording data.
BEEPING
I swiped the card on the access box.
“Eh?”
A red mark appears on the indicator box. And the door won't and won't open.
“What does it mean I can't get in?”
I just saw this sign, it's possible that this room will only be opened during computer lessons later.
“Good..”.
I left that place. And to the teacher's room.
BEEPING
The indicator light is not red, but the door is not open.
BEEPING
I swiped my card again.
...
Still don't want to open.
TOK TOK TOK
I'm using manual, knocking on the door.
...
There's no answer...
Where this room has no windows...
...
When I put my ear against the wall, I heard someone inside.
TOK TOK TOK
Still no answer...
“Already...”.
I went from that place and to another place, the library.
...
“Is there a recording in a place like this?”
To my knowledge, the library is a very boring place, there are only unread books, plus the atmosphere is very quiet, it makes the place very boring.
“No harm in trying.”
BEEPING
I ended up going into the library, I didn't think I'd go into a room like this.
...
And rightly my guess is, this place is deserted, although I see some people, but they are all bowed in their respective seats.
...
“Please first fill in your guestbook before you read.” Said the person beside me, I was unaware of the person's whereabouts, fortunately he wasn't exactly next to me.
I filled out the book and saw the person who told me to fill out the guest book. That person is the one who guards the library, he doesn't look like a library guard, he looks like a bartender.
“Umm... is there any CCTV footage here?”
“There, there.” Said the library guard while pointing at the computer at the end of the room.
“Thank you.”
I walked over to the computer that the library guard had pointed at, turned it on and searched for yesterday's footage.
...
...
...
Meet me!
Strange as well, the place I thought there wouldn't be anything I wanted to look for, turned out to be.
...
The tape looks like I'm covering ‘Depression’'s door with duct tape.
It's too early, maybe I should get through it.
CLICKS
I sped up the tape until 2 a.m. By 2 a.m., the duct tape covering the door was gone.
Before 2 o'clock.
I looked back at the footage as I covered the door with duct tape.
20:44:25
20:44:26
Finished covering the door with duct tape, I went straight out of the classroom to cover the door in the other class.
20:44:27
20:44:28
20:44:29
...
Nothing has changed.
20:50:10
“Eh?”
The tape that covered the door instantly disappeared.
“How can it?”
I repeated the recording before that second.
20:50:08
20:50:09
20:50:10
The tape disappeared immediately. It is like that.
But I didn't stop there.
I saw the CCTV footage in front of the class, maybe it'll help.
20:49:36
20:49:37
20:49:38
20:39:39
Someone entered the classroom before the duct tape was removed. The figure was clearly visible, wearing a black robe and masked skull, the figure was running very smoothly like it was hovering.
And it seems that I don't need to tell this to Tino and the others, I'm afraid there will be panic if I tell them about this.
...
...
I closed the program and left the library.
“Thank you.”
...
After coming out of the library, I went to the cafeteria, where Tino was sitting with the others.
“Razox! Come here!” Shouted Tino to me who had just come.
I went up to him and sat in an empty chair.
“Razox! Where were you, anyway?! I'm having trouble helping Love get down the stairs alone!”
“Tadi mornin' so too! You're not at the stop! Suddenly in class!”
I shouldn't have come here...
“You're like you're away from us, what's up?” Ask Ivi softly.
“Umm... actually..”.
“I'm solving a mystery.”
“What wife?”
“Mystery of this school.”
“...”
Everyone fell silent and thought, they seemed confused.
“There is???”
...
“I want to buy a meal first.” I stood up and left them to buy food.
...
... and back.
“Hei, break time is up.”
“Better we to class now, because it takes time also to help Love.” Take Tino.
“Hei! I just ate! And you said as if he was a burden!” I complained about the food in my mouth.
“No... I just want to leave you. Hahaha!”
They were actually waiting for me to finish eating, finished eating I followed Tino straight to help the girl.
...
We climbed up the stairs with the girl and her wheelchair, but while walking up the stairs without any conversation from anyone, I suddenly thought about the door, again. What if someone is really depressed and ends their life? What if one of us is depressed and wants to end his life? What if I am depressed and want to end my life?
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”
“...”
Everything stopped and turned towards me.
That was my voice.
Fortunately, I was holding a wheelchair.
“Sorry, my mind is..”.
“Continue the way.”
We're back walking.
...

TING
The clock comes home, not usually my things are not too messy, maybe I will be faster to clean it up.
Tino suddenly walked past me.
“Hey, Love, what this weekend do you want to watch the movies together?” Ask Tino.
“Uhh... how about yes??”
“It's okay. I'll pay for you.”
“Uh, thank you, but I want to invite others, is it okay?”
“Not what.”
“Alright, Ivi, do you want to come with us?”
“Eh?! Bo-can, of course!”
“But I only pay for Love, you don't mind?”
“It seems not, I stay with.”
...
...
“Eh?” Ivi saw me looking at them.
“It looks like he wants to come too.” His whisper.
“But he was shy about not being invited.” Further.
I sped up the movement of cleaning up my things and went straight out.
“Hei, Razox!” Call Ivi.
“You want to come, ‘kan?”
“I-i-iya..”
“Just relax, I will pay you.”
“Te-thank you.”
“Tino, but when will we watch? What's this weekend?”
“Sure, this weekend after we finish our group task.”
“Good.”
...
...
...
We went home together like yesterday, drove the girl to a stop near school, waiting until her mother picked her up.
...
BOING
Why does that sound every time I'm here?!
“Hai!”
The girl's mother appeared and came straight to us.
“Thank you, son Tino.”
“Eh? Want Razox? How did you not look like this morning?”
“Hehe.. yes, anu aunty, it was business this morning, so hurry.”
My laughter is clumsy too.
“Oiya, aunty, later this weekend I invite Cinta to go for a walk ya.” Tino said firmly.
“Bby, ‘kan?” Suddenly his tone became low.
“...”
They looked at each other, it seemed like Tino was in doubt that the answer was ‘iya’.
“And also we will do group tasks at home Love.” Added.
“...”
“Bby, ‘kan?”
“...”
“Iya, of course you can. After all Love must be bored at home continue.”
“Thank you, auntie!” Tino bended her body, again.
“This is why?”
“Alright, thank you for driving my son, see you tomorrow!”
He immediately went with his son.
“...”
“Let's go home.” Take Tino who looks happy.
“...”
We and Ivi split because of our different directions.
...
I was with Tino walking home on foot for no reason.
During the trip we didn't say a word, it made my mouth itch and wanted to bring up a topic.
“Hei, Tino.”
“Hm?”
“What do you think about the psychological students of High School Platinum?”
“Eh? Why are you suddenly asking such a thing?
“No, I'm just being confused.”
“What's the problem?”
“That door, the door that seemed to be devoted to suicide.”
“...”
“Moreover the name of the door is strange.”
“Umm... Razox..”
“And I was confused, why is that door in every class?”
“Razox..”
“And strangely again that door is not in class XI, it is only in class X.”
“Razox!”
Tino called out my name in a loud voice and left me shocked and silent.
“A-what?”
“You said what, anyway?”
“Eh?”
“I really don't understand what you're talking about.”
“...”
“That door, the door that has its big board ‘Depression’ door, there's no way you don't know, that door is at the end of the class, close to our seat.”
“I really didn't know it!”
“Tomorrow I'll show you.”
“...”
Our short chat made the trip felt, we had already arrived at our residential complex. And we parted ways without saying anything.
