Eternal Love - Uncover the Secret Part 2
"Here we are, at the entrance of the world-famous Kalton Library which is known for their wide collection of history books. More importantly, I hope the museum has information that I want and I am certain it does have what I want," a confident and optimistic Alexis said.
"Alexis, before we enter, could you at least provide us with an explanation? Firstly, we are all confused as to why we are having an outing to the library. Secondly, you have not told us the reason behind your quick disappearance from school everyday. In fact, both questions are the same," a classmate asked on behalf of the rest of the classmates as they nodded in unison.
"My apologies to all. I know the class has been talking behind my back because I am reticent and quiet in class. I am new to Kalton College and a complete stranger to all of you. I have my own set of reasons as to why I refuse to interact with classmates during and after school hours. I do not want history to repeat itself. I transferred to Kalton because I was unable to tolerate the constant teasing by my so-called friends. They gave me nicknames like "Bootlicker" and "Big Mouth". It seemed that their teasing had a negative impact on me as I went into isolation and became part of this phenomenon called hikikomori. I quit school and stayed at home to receive counselling. Well, the counselling seemed to have paid off as I was finally persuaded to step out of my room after an unexpected 6 months. My parents relinquished their positions as managers of their respective companies as they accompanied me to a new location where I am supposed to start afresh. So, Kalton, here I come but with a tinge of hesitation and reluctance because I heard rumours about a shooting incident that occurred at Kalton College 30 years ago. I have to locate the truth in order to clear the uneasiness in my heart," Alexis explained as her classmates listened intently.
"Well, we have wasted much time here," Alexis reminded as Alexis and her classmates scurried into the library, towards the history books section.
"This is insane. This is inhuman. This is like searching a needle from a haystack. No, it should be haystacks. Look at that," a classmate exclaimed as he pointed to the shelves of books which were neatly arranged in chronological order.
"Stop complaining and whining and start cracking," Alexis retorted.
With that, her classmates assisted her reluctantly. Little did they knew that things would be much easier if they had just approached a senior librarian who was monitoring them as they rampaged through the materials.
