This story is a very short story because I just started practicing writing. If any readers pass by, please kindly ask. In reading this practice work and express your opinions and criticisms to the fullest extent possible
Tkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk” But I don't know what exactly this sound is. The atmosphere in the classroom at this time felt incredibly calm.
The evening sun shone through the window and missed my body in the middle of the classroom. I was alone in the classroom, holding a pen and writing a new report. to replace the report that I forgot to bring
His right hand finished writing the last word and he lifted it up. With a big sigh This work is nothing compared to the work I left at home.
I sat and thought for a while. I feel a little sorry but I don't have much time left. So he picked up the report paper that was on the table and put it into the file. It looks simple and fits in a bag.
I got down from the classroom on the second floor. A long concrete floor, nearly three meters wide, connected the third building I walked down to another building. The side is full of potted plants. The inside is empty, placed periodically. with a stone bench They are lined up on both sides of the walkway.
At this time there were only a few students left. As far as I could tell, there were only two people in sight. The feeling of loneliness disappeared.
I tried to walk past them. to send the report I just finished I want to submit this report as quickly as possible because I don't have much time left.
But then something I didn't expect happened. It was a girl's voice that I wasn't familiar with. It came from behind. causing my walking to stop I turned around Saw two girls on the bench. His eyes didn't look very friendly.
“You over there, please stop.”
I sigh again I feel like I want to leave as quickly as possible. But I probably won't have that chance. One of them approached. Revealing her face Her face looked slender and sweet. Her eyes were large and round. Overall, she looked quite beautiful. But my instincts indicate danger from her. The other person was still sitting on the bench, not going anywhere.
"What's wrong? I'm busy right now." I said and walked out of there.
“You can't go anywhere until this is over.” She looked serious.
“Until this matter is finished. And what is this thing?” I asked curiously.
“Did you take it?” Even though I was the one who asked her, she asked me back. The question she asked made the woman sitting there He started to look at me with cold eyes. So I had to quickly refuse.
“No, I didn't take it. At least before I accuse others of taking it, can you please tell me about the incident first?” I raised both hands as a sign that I was innocent.
“I was just joking,” she chuckled softly, putting her hand up to cover her mouth. I was relieved and returned my hand to its original position. Then she continued.
“But I'll try to tell you, in case you... uh... you... I don't even know your name yet. What is your name?”
“Phop is in Mathayom 4, room two.”
“My name is Pim. In the fourth year of high school, one room Nice to meet you.” Her room was next to my classroom. But I've never seen her before. Even though the school has been open for more than a week now. Even though it is said that our classrooms are next to each other But it was separated by a staircase that went up and down between the first floor and the second floor. And I'm not a person who associates with other people much.
“And what is the name of the woman sitting there?”
"Her name is Fern."
“But what happened?” I asked her again, curious.
“Uh..Yes, that is, Fern's book was stolen. Her book disappeared while she went to the bathroom. Do you have any clues?”
Previously, we were also obsessed with making reports. I don't remember anything strange at all.
“Ah..no, earlier when I was sitting in the room doing a report. I didn't see or hear anything.” Or did I miss something? No, when we were working we didn't encounter anything strange. Everything looked normal.
“But I already have a suspect,” Pim said. I was a little happy.
"Really? If that's the case, then I can go."
“Not yet. Because the only suspects here are me and you.” My hope of escaping from here vanished in the blink of an eye. I can only pray that this matter will end as soon as possible.
“Why is it just me and you?”
“I mean this place. Because since I arrived, there was no one else besides us. Or rather, there were too many suspects. Plus there are still very few clues.” I nodded in agreement. But if the situation continues like this I must not be able to submit work in time.
“Then would you mind telling me the whole incident? Just in case I think of something.”
“Fine, but it would be better for Fern to tell the story.” Fern, the young girl who had been sitting silently since just now. He began to speak for the first time.
“That is, before my book disappeared. I put it on this bench.” I stared at this bench. Its appearance is almost no different from other benches. Seeing this, I turned my attention away and returned to listening to Fern's words.
“Then I walked to the bathroom at Building Two. Approximately ten minutes had passed. After I came out, I found that the book was gone.” Wanting more information, I asked Fern.
“Did you hear anything during that time?” If you could hear something, it would make it easier to find the book. But her answer made me start to lose hope.
“Not at all, because I wear headphones and turn on music all the time, so I can't hear anything other than the music.” This is the reason why Pim said she doesn't have any clues. It's difficult.
“How are you? Can you think of anything?” Pim asked me with some hope.
“I can't think for a moment,” when she heard me say that. Her expectant expression turned into an expression of sadness. She expected that much from me. It shows that this situation is probably very hopeless.
“And what did you get?”
“I didn't get anything either. If there's a little more clue I can figure out what to do. But in this event there are hardly any clues. Plus, the only people here are the three of us.” I couldn't think straight about the incident. Time slowly passes by. Or will I hold my breath and run away from there?
But if I do that, I'll be thought of as a criminal. If so, I'll have to think about it a bit.
I began to sort through the various stories I had received and combine them with what I had seen. The book was placed on the bench and disappeared after Fern got up to go to the bathroom. for about ten minutes which is a long enough period that anyone walking by would pick up the book Really too difficult. It would be good if Fern could hear something.
I started to remember something a little. Things I didn't think about Yes, that sound. The clues I have aren't exactly zero. At that time I didn't know. But now I know I, who already knew something, began to speak.
“I think I know quite a bit.”
"Really? You didn't just pretend to say it to get away, right?" Pim made an expression of disbelief.
“Who would go and do that? But I'm not 100 percent sure.” Even though I said I already knew something, But with the slightest clue There are also many opportunities for mistakes. But what can you do because time is running out?
“Can I really believe you?” Fern asked with a look of disbelief on her face as well.
“Believe it or not, you guys just have to wait and see for proof. Follow me.”
“Where are you taking us?” I silently looked at the time on my phone screen. Then hurry up and walk I don't have enough time to explain to them right now. So he could only answer in a short sentence.
“Come on, just follow along.”
I turned my head and looked. They still followed me closely. I walked into Building 2 and then walked straight to the end. We have arrived at our destination.
“Why did we come to the library?” Pim asked curiously.
I haven't answered her yet. Accelerate your steps and continue walking. Open the door to the library. All air conditioners don't work anymore. But the coolness from the air conditioner still remains and affects the body. Makes you feel quite cool. We found one teacher sitting at a private table next to the wall. The table was full of books arranged in an orderly manner.
She is my homeroom teacher.
Wang said it was still time. I hurriedly took out the report from my bag. then hand it to the teacher She took my report and placed it on the table.
“Is it still time?” I asked the teacher to be sure.
“Just in time.”
“Phew, good luck.” I was very relieved, I thought I wouldn't be able to send it in time. But it seems that Pim and Fern don't feel the same way. They started looking at me with disgust in their eyes.
“Let's trick each other,” Fern said in a harsh voice.
They thought they had been tricked by me. so that I can submit work It wouldn't be good to leave it like this. So I have to explain quickly.
“Wait, it's not what you think. What do you think I brought you to the library for?”
“To deliver work?”
“That's part of it. But there is also the item you are looking for here.”
“My book?”
“Yes, if you don't believe me, try asking the teacher.”
“Did the teacher pick up the book on the bench on the walkway between building three and building two?” I felt a little worried. I'm afraid that if the teacher says no. I would probably be dealt with by them quite a bit.
“Is this the book?” The teacher reached into his bag and pulled out a book.
“Yes, this is my book.” Fern took the book back from the teacher. then say thank you
“The matter is over. Then I want to go home first.” But it seems that Pim still won't let me go back.
“I can't go back yet,” she said, bringing her face closer to her. Her eyes were big and round, as if they were sucking me in. I shook my head and regained my composure.
"Why? You all got the book back."
“There is one more thing I want to know. How do you know? That the book was here and the teacher took it away.”
“If I don't say it, you won't let me back, right?”
“Yes. How do you know that the teacher took the book?” She said yes without the slightest hesitation. Her eyes sparkled even more than before. So I hurriedly told him to put an end to this incident.
“There isn't much to it. I just heard a sound.”
“What is that sound?”
“I heard a clunking sound while I was sitting in my room doing a report. You probably didn't hear that, right?”
“When I arrived I didn't hear a single sound. But what kind of sound is it?”
“What is the sound of people walking?”
“Just the sound of people walking, how do you know the teacher picked it up?” Fern interrupted.
"Because it's not just the sound of normal walking, I know. Usually, the walking sounds of students and teachers are completely different, especially the walking sounds of female teachers." Pim looked like she was beginning to understand something and then spoke up.
“Because female teachers usually wear high heels, right? When walking, it makes a louder sound than normal and is not like normal shoes.”
“That's right,” she was in one room, I thought to myself.
“However, there are already a lot of female teachers in the school. Why does Khun Pop think it is this teacher?”
“It's nothing much. I intend to take you all and not find all the teachers. Because there are not many teachers left in the school at this time. I just had work to submit to a professor at the library so I went to see her first. But it blends in well, doesn't it? The library teacher took the books away.”
“It's true.” Her face looked displeased with my answer. But the answer I can give you is this.
“Then I'd like to go home first.”
“Yes.” It looked like Pim had agreed to let me return. So I turned to greet the teacher who was sitting first. and walked out from there
She actually allowed me to come back. But she still followed me without stopping. I ignored her and continued walking. But soon her voice rang out.
“Please pay attention.” She walked over with a dissatisfied expression on her face.
"Is there anything else? I think I've already told you everything."
“No, I understand that completely, but…”
“But what is it?”
“Are you interested in starting a detective club together?” She suddenly invited me to start a club. In my life, I had never thought of joining a club before. To tell you frankly, that is. I'm that lazy. So I quickly refused.
“What kind of club is that? I'm not interested. But doesn't the Detective Club already exist? You go join that club.”
“No, I want to start a club myself.” Pim's expression looked like that of a spoiled child.
“Can't you go and set it up yourself?”
“Not at all. Two members are required to set it up.”
“Then you want me to be a detective? It probably isn't possible, this time I was just lucky.”
“No, I won't let anyone take away the role of detective. I want you to become a member.”
“Then you can ask your friend.” She looked a little sad when I mentioned her friend. But she smiled and answered my question.
“I have done it before, but no one has taken it with me. You are my only hope. Plus, Khun Pop is the one who finds books. Wouldn't it be great if the club members could solve the case? Do you agree?” I felt a little embarrassed by what she said. Who said I was the last hope It made me almost follow along.
"That's true, but I told you I was just lucky."
“I beg you.”
“I don't want it. I don't like chaos.”
“But if I formed a club We will have a private club room. I would like to have a club room someday,” she said with a sparkle in her eyes. She probably really wanted to have her own club. Personally, I feel like I want a private room quite a bit. So I asked A to be sure.
“A club room? Will we get a club room too?”
“Of course,” she replied with a confident expression.
The evening atmosphere in the chaotic classroom suddenly flashed into my head. The sound of talking sound of activities What peace is better than a private room?
“If you're not interested, that's fine. I'll try looking for someone else again."
“Uh..I mean, I'm just a member, right?”
“Yes, Khun Pop will take it too, right?”
“All right,” I decided to agree. For a private, peaceful room At least two people would be more peaceful than thirty people.
“Thank you very much. I'll bring the application tomorrow. See you later.” Her face looked very happy after I agreed. She smiled at me and waved goodbye and walked away.
For readers who have read up to this point, I would like to thank you very much.
