Secret room 111
If someone had asked Jagoda what she liked best about high school, she certainly wouldn't have said Mondays. This one, however, started differently than usual. The corridors, always dusty and full of bustle, seemed emptier today, as if all the students had already managed to enter their classrooms.
Jagoda stopped by the coffee machine, where her friends Matthew and Dima were already waiting. They both looked tense, and Matthew glanced over his shoulder every now and then.
- 'Have you heard about this new hall? - whispered Dima, handing her a mug of steaming coffee.
Matthew looked at Jagoda meaningfully. - Do you mean the 111? - She asked, feigning indifference.
Dima nodded. - 'I saw Woźny go in there yesterday after hours. No one was supposed to be there, and the light was on late.
Jagoda shrugged her shoulders, though she felt curiosity squeezing her inside. There had been rumours about Room 111 since the beginning of the school year. That there used to be an experimental room there, that something had happened that the management didn't want to talk about. However, no one had seen its doors open, and there was no mention of such a room in the school's documents.
- 'Let's check it out today after the last lesson,' suggested Matthew. Dima looked ready to give up, but curiosity won out over fear.
That day the lessons were getting incredibly long. Jagoda could not concentrate on either Spanish or physics. When the final bell rang, the three friends gathered at the door of room 111. The door was dark blue, as if newer than the rest, but the handle shone as if it hadn't been touched for years. Suddenly there was the sound of heavy footsteps somewhere in the distance.
Matthew grabbed the handle. The door gave way silently, revealing darkness. Everything inside smelled of dust and old wood.
- Are we going in? - whispered Jagoda.
A quiet, metallic buzzing came from inside. As if something or someone was waiting there. A moment later the light in the corridor flicked on and off, leaving them in semi-darkness as the door slowly began to close behind them....
