"We demand an explanation Mr. Cooper. Why did you put us in that room?!". Olive's burst made Emily shocked. She has never seen 'an angry Olive' before. Olive was always very considerate.
"Why don't you take a seat first, Miss Manson?". Mr Cooper gestured with a wicked smile.
"No. Explain first.". Olive said harshly as she was unable to control her emotion anymore. She could feel her heart burnt and anger slowly crept her entire body.
"So, you can't stand anymore huh?". Mr Cooper asked with a smirk. He walked around his table and went to the key locker, located just beside his table. He opened the locker, took one and threw it to Olive to which she caught and secured in her hands.
Both Olive and Emily looked at each other, confused.
"That's your new room key." Mr Cooper spoke casually before he went to sit at his chair.
"Can you at least explain why did you give us the room? I heard that room hadn't been occupied for years. Why would you put us in?"
This time, Emily spoke up. Curiosity was going to kill her anytime soon.
"Well, we just thought why don't we try put somebody in that room. It's been a long time since that room hadn't been occupied and you guys happened to enroll on the same day. So, we decided to put you girls in. That's it. Well, I explained already,so both of you can go now." Mr Cooper told while casually flipping through his book, looking unconcerned.
"Then, why is it only me who always get the nightmare?". Olive asked, making Mr. Cooper lifted his head.
"Maybe the bed you're sleeping on was hers. Can you girls now, please.. I got lotsa works to do. End of explanation, right? Just move out as soon as possible and hand me the No. 9 room key. Well, if you demand an apology. I'm sorry."
He replied mockingly before went back to whatever he was doing.

That afternoon, they packed their belongings as quickly as they could. Not wanting to stay at that haunted room for long after knowing the truth. When they finally settled at the new room, with the help of other friends, Olive offered herself to go to their old room. She just wanted to do a quick check in case they left something. She did a really quick check, the bathroom, their bed and lockers.
Finally, when she was satisfied, she went out. About to close the door, she suddenly heard a soft yet eerie voice,
"Goodbye"
Olive swallowed before abruptly closed and locked the door. Her hands were trembling with fear. She ran like her life depended on it.
Thankfully, she didn't turn her back because Alice was waving her hand with a smug smile on er pale face before disappeared into the thin air.
