Authors Note:
It's been a really long time since I've written (as usual), and the game updated again. I haven't played the game yet since the update, but from what I can gather, the new updates come with a new school name, Starlight High, and mini games that are played in classes (although, since I haven't played those mini games yet, I'll just be sticking to the original style of the game, which is heavily rp based). Now without further ado (and because I barely know anything about this new update) let's get right into the story…
Keith laid half asleep in bed, drifting in and out of a pleasant dream, when suddenly a noise woke him.
Thud!
Keith sprung upright in his bed and glanced quickly around the room. Nothing was there, but suddenly, Keith heard the distinctive sound of a rustling in the bushes outside, and rapid footsteps fleeing from outside his window. Huh? Is someone out there?
Keith looked out his window, and saw, to his surprise, a hooded figure rushing away from the dorms in under the darkness of night. Keith stood staring in shock as the figure ran into the school building and disappeared into the dark. Terrified from what he saw, Keith was unable to get any sleep that night. Questions kept coming to him. Who was that? What were they doing? Was that a student? What if it wasn't a student? Why would a stranger be inside the school at night? The thoughts encircled Keith's mind, until morning finally came.
"Morning, Keith! How'd you sleep," Ethan greeted Keith in the lobby of the dorms as Keith made his way down the stairs, "Woah! You look like a mess. You alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Keith answered weakly, rubbing his tired eyes, "I just didn't sleep very well last night."
"Oh? What happened?" Ethan asked as the two begin to walk towards the main school building.
"Well, last night I saw something weird," Keith began, "There was a person running around the school at night. I didn't see who they were, but they ran into the school and never came out."
"Woah, creepy," Ethan replied with a shiver.
Keith and Ethan soon parted ways at the shoe lockers, Ethan heading towards gym class, and Keith heading for literature, but strangely, as Keith walked through the empty halls, he couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. Yet, whenever he would turn around to check for students, there were never any. The hallways were empty. It was too early for that many people to be in class yet, and yet, Keith could feel it, a presence following him, watching his every move. A drop of sweat dripped down from his forehead. Keith felt uneasy, like he needed to run, and he did. Without hesitation, Keith made for the closest classroom and shut the door behind him.
I'm not crazy. I definitely felt it. Someone's following me. What if it's that person from last night? Are they after me now that I've seen them? Am I in danger? Keith peaked down the halls, and slowly stepped out of the classroom. The feeling he had was fading. Are they gone? Keith tried to calm himself, but his ears suddenly picked up a faint sound. Footsteps? And they're heading away from me. I was being watched! But by who?
Keith couldn't stop think, even during class. That person… the radiate a kind of sinister aura. That's how I can always sense when they're around. So what is it they want from me? Keith shut his eyes and thought hard. He wasn't sure if he had made any enemies in the school, but he couldn't understand why anyone would want to follow him around. Keith opened his eyes and relaxed himself just as Klein came up to him with a decorated, pink notebook in his hands.
"Hey, bro," Klein greeted plainly, "You doing alright? You seem distracted."
"It's nothing," Keith answered, "I just think that I may have become a target for someone in the school."
"Is it Amber? If you want, I really will make sure she never walks again," Klein replied, cracking his knuckles with a straight face.
"No, no! Not Amber," Keith quickly answered, "i just feel like I'm being watched is all, like somebody is following me, someone with a weird aura."
"Like a stalker?" Klein asked, taking a seat across from Keith, "Interesting. Since when did you become so popular, lil' bro?"
"I don't think it's like that, but ever since I entered this school, I sometimes get the feeling that someone is watching me," Keith replied, "I even saw someone outside the dorms last night! It was so creepy. What if they're a murderer? What if I'm gonna die?"
"Keith, seriously, that's not gonna happen. Not with me around anyways," Klein reassured, "But, if you need help with this little stalker of yours, I'll be more than happy to lend a hand."
"Are you going to break their legs?" Keith asked half-jokingly.
"What? No. I'm not a savage," Klein answered, "We're just going to talk to them first. Then if it's really bad, I'll break their legs."
"Oh, yay…" Keith said regretfully.
"Meet me in the school yard after school," Klein said with a smirk, "We'll take care of your little problem then."
And so the day passed. Every time Keith was alone, he felt the presence following him, but was never able to catch them. Finally his last class of the day ended, and Keith made his way to the courtyard. However, when he got there, Klein was nowhere to be seen. Keith suddenly felt uneasy. Where's Klein? He thought. Keith walked around the courtyard, circling the fountain anxiously. Suddenly, he felt the hairs on his tail stand. They're here again. Keith quickly spun backwards, desperate to catch his stalker, only to catch a glimpse of a shadow that quickly shot out of the bush and out of sight. There! Keith spun around and around again, trying to catch a sight of his stalker, whose agility was honed enough to keep them out of sight of Keith's gaze. Round and round, they went, Keith spinning in desperation as the figure ducked, dodged, and avoided his sight, as if to toy with him. Suddenly, Keith saw the figure fall hard into a bush with a loud thud. There's my chance! As Keith made his way over to the bush, he saw Klein rise up from the foliage holding up a cat-eared girl by her jacket hood.
"Gotcha," Klein said confidently.
"Oh, poo," the girl said as she hung helplessly from Klein's grip, "Okay, you caught me. Now what? You gonna break my legs?"
"First," Klein began, "Who the heck are you. I've never seen you before in my life."
"Wha?" the girl replied slightly offended, "I'm Nya! Y'know, the school's beloved yearbook photographer and local fanfic writer? Basically everyone in school knows who I am."
"Apparently not," Klein responded, "Do you know here, Keith?"
"Not a clue," Keith replied, staring at Nya with a puzzled face.
"Aw, how could you say that?" Nya pouted, "And after all the stories I've written about you and your misadventures!"
Keith felt a shiver run down his spine. How long has she been stalking me?!
"Like that one time you got beaten senseless by Amber! Oh, and that one time you and Amber were in the music room alone," Nya began excitedly, "Ah, and that one time you and Ethan made out! Eee! That made for such an awesome love story! It's got over a thousand reads online, y'know."
Keith stood frozen in shock, while Klein began snickering at Keith's reddening face.
"Wow," Klein began teasingly, "Barely a month into school, and you already have a boyfriend. Aw, my lil' bro's growing up so fast."
"Oh, and Klein! I've written a lot about you to, the school's handsome, troubled bad boy," Nya continued, "The story about you being in a love triangle with Astra and Sakura was such a hit! Especially the part about how you kissed Sakura right in front of Astra!"
Klein immediately dropped Nya with a cold face.
"Okay, now I break her legs," Klein said with cruel eyes.
"Eep!" Nya squeaked.
"No no no! No leg breaking!" Keith quickly butted in, "Maybe we can settle this peacefully instead!"
"Yeah, what Keith said," Nya agreed happily.
"Fine," Klein agreed reluctantly.
"Er, so Nya," Keith knelt down to Nya who was still on the ground, "Is there anyway we can get you to stop writing questionable stories about us?"
"Hm," Nya began to think, "Well, firstly, I'd like my journal back."
Nya motioned to Klein.
"Tch," Klein showed the inside of his jacket where the journal was, and looked down at Nya with suspicion, "And how will I know that you'll stop stalking us once I give you back the stupid book?"
"Well," Nya began, "You won't."
With blinding speed, Nya quickly snatched the journal from Klein's jacket, and backflipped away to a safe distance.
"H-Hey!" Keith called out.
"Heh heh heh!" Nya giggled playfully, "You just lost your only way of bargaining with me! Heh! And just so you know, I won't be letting my guard down the next time we meet. So, good luck catching me then! Well, Sayonara, foxy pushover, ice head!"
And with that, Nya parkoured her way up the side of the school building and disappeared onto the roof as Keith and Klein stood dumbfounded by the events that just unfolded in front of them.
