Chapter 61 The Piano in the Night
The campus was filled with the melodious sound of a piano emanating from the music classroom.
The night was already quiet, making the piano’s notes even more pronounced.
The next day, rumors of a haunting spread throughout the school.
“Did you hear? There was movement in the music classroom in the middle of the night!”
“Theard about it! The students in the dormitory said someone was playing the piano in the teaching building last night! It was terrifying!”
The classroom door was always locked. How could someone be playing the piano?”
The students in Class One were quietly discussing the serious piano playing in the middle of the night.
When Naomi walked in. Scarlett asked, “Naomi, were you the one playing the piano at school last night?”
Playing the piano at night?
Naomi was taken aback and said, “I went home after practicing the piano after school yesterday. How could I have been playing the piano at school?”
“If it wasn‘: you, then who could it be? 1 heard from the students in the dormitory that someone was playing the piano in the building last night.
“It’s impossible. I distinctly remember locking the door when I left yesterday. How could someone have been playing the piano in the building?”
I clearly remembered the music teacher reminding me to lock the door when I left
I had always been careful to check the lock to prevent Eliza from sneaking in to practice.
The idea of someone playing the piano at school in the middle of the night was just too strange.
‘Could it… really be a ghost?”
Some of the students were already getting scared.
At that moment, Zayden walked into the classroom from outside.
Naomi had intended to greet Zayden, but he walked right past her and sat down at his desk.
Naomi’s hand, which had been raised to greet him, suddenly felt awkward.
Scarlett witnessed this and quickly realized that Naomi must have had an argument with Zayden.
“Naomi, you should tell Zayden about the ghost in the music classroom last night. Let him hear about it too,” Scarlett suggested, intending to embarrass Naomi.
Naomi had no choice but to sit next to Zayden and feign a cheerful tone, saying, “It’s nothing. It’s just someone playing the piano in the music classroom in the middle of the night. It’s not necessarily a ghost.”
When Zayden heard about someone playing the piano in the music classroom in the middle of the night, his eyes flickered involuntarily.
“Why don’t we go on an adventure tonight? Since we have nothing to do after school, let’s see what ghost is playing the piano at school!” one of the students suggested excitedly.
Naomi wasn’t interested in such things.
Zayden, on the other hand, coldly said, “Non–residential students are not allowed to linger on campus. Do you think ghost hunting is fun? You’d be better off spending that time doing some extra studying at home.”
1/2
Zayden had never interfered in the class’s trivial matters before.
Hearing his words, the students‘ enthusiasm was instantly dampened.
After all, Zayden was the class monitor.
If he reported them to the teacher for staying on campus in the middle of
“Zayden..
e night, they would be in trouble.
Naomi was about to speak to Zayden, but he stood up and walked out of the classroom without giving her a chance.
Zayden’s refusal to let Naomi speak left the surrounding students in an awkward silence.
Scarlett deliberately asked, “Naomi, you two really did have an argument, didn’t you? It’s been several days now, and I don’t see Zayden talking to you at all.”
“Zayden is just in a bad mood. We never argue. He still picks me up from school every day. You’re overthinking it. Naomi insisted.
The more Naomi said this, the more the others felt there was a problem between them.
Ever since the news of their engagement had spread, Zayden had been keeping his distance from Naomi.
He used to bring her breakfast, but in the past few days, it seemed like he had completely ignored her, not to mention bringing her milk and bread.
In Class Six. Eliza was dozing off, her head buried in her arms on the desk. She had already fallen asleep behind the bookshelf during the early class.
Henry, sitting next to her, looked at Eliza with concern.
She seemed to have stayed up all night. I’m the first one to arrive in the classroom this morning and saw Eliza sleeping at her desk.
She must have spent the entire night there, not returning to the dormitory at all
Outside the classroom, Zayden watched the sleepy Eliza inside.
His suspicion was further confirmed. His brows furrowed involuntarily.
Did Eliza really want to shine at the New Year’s Eve party that much?
She clearly couldn’t outshine Naomi, yet she was still pushing herself to the point of exhaustion.
“Excuse me.
A deep voice reached Zayden’s ears from behind.
When he turned around, he saw Nolan walking past him with a single hand holding his school bag.
As Nolan passed by, he deliberately bumped into Zayden’s shoulder.
“Nolan
Henry hadn’t seen Nolan for several days.
As Nolan entered the classroom, Henry was about to stand up, but Nolan made a shushing gesture.
His gaze fell on Eliza.
