I woke up and found myself laying on the floor in front of my locker. Odd... I remember driving over to André's house to work on a project for class. Maybe that was a dream. No problem I guess. I'm not usually in the habit of falling asleep at school, but it happens. I pull out my phone to check the time, but it won't turn on. Stupid thing.

Crap. I'm probably late for a class! I run to the nearest class room to check a clock. The room is empty. Weird. I check the clock and see that it is six. Well that answers why no one is in this class room. School is over. As I head back to my locker I wonder why no one bothered to wake me up. I open my locker, but none of my stuff is in there. I don't have time for this right now. I should be home now anyway.

I walk to the door, but when I try to open it, it's locked. I'm pretty sure I should be able to open the door from the inside, even if it's locked. Of course this has never happened to me before so I'm not positive. I check every other door around the school. They're all locked. I even try the windows, but they're also locked. This is freaking me out a bit. I can't be trapped here!

I breathe deeply. I just need to calm down. I forgot about the obvious solution. I can just break a window. I don't want to get in trouble, and I'm not the kind of person to break things on a whim, but considering the alternative I think everyone will understand. I go to Sikowitz's room to break a window because there's a good chance he won't notice it until someone else points it out.

I grab a chair. Hesitantly, I throw it at one of the windows, and flinch in anticipation of the sound of shattering glass. Surprisingly, the chair doesn't go through the window and falls to the floor. Okay. Maybe it's some kind of fiber glass or something, like the stuff windshields are made of.

I walk up to the window and pick the chair up. Okay. Let's do this. I slam the chair as hard as I can on the window. Nothing. I start hitting the window repeatedly, over and over again as hard as I can. I stop and look to see the progress I've made. Not a single scratch, dent, or crack could be seen.

Well that didn't work... maybe it's just that window. Yeah, that's got to be it. It was probably put in for a play or something. I try the other window in the room, but I get the same results as before. I'm starting to think someone is playing a cruel joke on me. A very elaborate, very well thought out joke. I sit down in another chair and sigh in defeat.

"Hello?" I call out. "If this is supposed to be a joke then you win! I give up! Just let me go home, please!" I yell. I wait for an answer, but don't receive one. "Fine." I mutter. One night in school won't kill me. The janitor will come in early tomorrow and then I'll be free. I stand up and head over to the chalk board. I make my self comfortable and try to sleep. It is the best way to pass the time.

I wake up again and stretch my arms. I look at the room's clock and see that it's twelve o'clock. Now I'm starting to get confused. It can't be noon of the next day because it's still dead silent and there's no way it's midnight because the sun is still out, just like when I went to sleep.

"What is going on here?" I ask out loud.

"Talking to our self, are we Tori?" said a familiar voice. It startled me. I instantly identified this voice as Sikowitz's voice. I turned and saw him standing on top of his podium.

"Sikowitz, you scared me a bit." I stood up and then realized that it must be noon, and that I had someone here, which meant I was free! "I'm so glad someone finally came. I was locked in the school all night so I had to sleep here. I can finally go home."

"Not exactly."

"But the doors are unlocked now."

"Yeah...no. They aren't."

"Then are you locked in here too?" I asked him.

"Yes... no... maybe... I'm not terribly sure."

"How can you not be sure? If the doors are locked then you can't get out, just like me." I start pacing nervously. "Do you know if this is supposed to be some kind of sick joke or something? Did Jade put you up to this?"

"Not Jade. Maybe the government did it, or maybe the Italian mafia. Who knows?" his coconuts must have gotten to him.

"Those ideas are just crazy! I'd appreciate real answers." I turned back to him, but Sikowitz was gone. "Sikowitz! Where are you?" No answer, not until there was a knock. I turned to the window and saw him outside!"

"Hello!"

"Let me out!" I demanded.

"In due time." he said.

"What? This isn't a game, Sikowitz! Let me out now!"

"Of course it's a game, a game of your own design. Just let yourself out whenever you feel like." he walked off, as if nothing was wrong. I banged on the window, but when I got there he was already gone.

After what seemed like two hours, even though the clock still said noon, I left the classroom, with the hope that I would find my way out of the school. Now I know Sikowitz has something to do with this. That's a start at least. Of course just how long can either of us keep this up? I'll eventually get hungry and sooner or later someone will come looking for me. I'd rather not wait that long though, so may as well start now.

Sooo... First story kinda. Just a neat idea I had a while back. I figured I'd share it. Frequent to semi-frequent updates can be expected for the first couple chapters. Reviews are nice and tasty, but if you really like the story then might I direct you to the follow/fav button? Thought I'd point it out. regardless of any of that, thanks for reading, see ya next time.
