It was already 3 am.
And i have to send in my assignment at the deserted and supposedly haunted academic building.
I just got back from mamak with 3 other friends, and i dragged them along to accompany me.
(Scary kot nak naik block yang isolated tu tengah tengah malam!)I went up Building 1 with one friend
(A), leaving the other two
(B and C) in the car.
We went up and quickly stuffed my assignment in the lecturer's mini postbox.
We were going to head back to the car when i got a brilliant idea to scare the other two scaredy cats.
Instead of heading back the way we came, A and I took the long way and walked to Building 2 instead. We came down and walked back to the car from Building 2.
As soon as we slammed the door shut, B and C were busy complaining because we kept them waiting for close to half an hour when we shouldve been done within 5 mins or so.
The whole time, A and I kept quite and did not say a single word. We were trying to spook the other two. The plan was to keep quite and after the car has moved, i was going to text B
(subtly, of course) something that goes like :
Where are you? im already down here but i cant find your car. did you park somewhere else or have you left without us?I have already composed the text message and switched off the background light of my phone. It would only take me one click of a button to send the message and watch B and C freak out. I sniggered silently at my brilliant plan.
B : Why did you guys come down from Building 2? I thought the lecturer's office is in Building 1?*silence*B : Dude!! Why the hell did you come down all the way from the other building? What happened?*silence*B : Why are you so quiet??*silence*Its starting to turn out to be a pretty good show.
The drive back from the academic building to our hostel is a pretty lengthy one and there were barely any lights along the road. It was spooky, indeed. Plus, we have heard plenty of gory stories about the road that we were currently driving along. You know, the kind of stories that will keep you up at night.
I could tell that B and C were starting to freak out.
At the darkest point of the road, i sent my message.
The whole while, i kept my eyes on B to see if she's gonna check her phone. I wouldnt miss her reaction for the world. Surprisingly, B's phone did not make a sound.
A whole 30 seconds later, a reply came in :
What the hell are you talking about? Im still down here waiting for you. Im parked at the same place i dropped you off just now. What's taking you so long? We've been waiting for you for half an hour already. Get your ass down here already! We're starting to get goosebumps waiting for you. Hurry up!!*gulp*
At the same time, I could hear a disturbing chuckle coming from the front seat.
