"I heard the forest trail has glowing mushrooms at night!" said Zhou Lei.
"We should have a picnic!" Zhao Lili added.
They all turned to Gu Jin.
"You're coming too, right?" Lin Yue asked.
Gu Jin shook her head. "No. I'm tired."
Zhou Lei grinned. "Okay, captain!"
"Take care of yourself, Captain Gu!" Qiao Feng laughed.
They waved goodbye and ran off to plan their adventure.
Gu Jin walked back to her dorm quietly.
It was quiet in the hallway. The sky outside was orange, the sun slowly going down.
She opened the door to her room.
As soon as she stepped inside, her eyes narrowed.
Something felt wrong.
The air was too still. Too quiet. Her eyes scanned the room quickly.
Gu Jin didn't move any further.
Her voice was calm, but cold.
"Who's there?" she asked.
Silence. She waited.
The air shifted slightly behind the curtain near her bed.
Then, without warning—whoosh!
