The Pre-Class Chat: A Three-Minute Adventure

The air was thick with the anticipation of a new school day. The high school corridor buzzed with the usual chatter and the clatter of lockers closing. But something was different today. The pre-class chat had been buzzing with a cryptic message: "The adventure begins at 8:00 AM. Don't be late."

Emma, a senior with a penchant for mysteries, had been the first to spot the message. She shared it with her best friends, Jake and Lily, who were equally intrigued. As the clock approached 8:00 AM, the trio found themselves standing in front of the school's main entrance, their hearts pounding with a mix of excitement and fear.

Without wasting another moment, they split up. Emma and Jake ventured into the school's library, while Lily went to the science lab. The library was eerily silent, the only sound the turning pages of ancient books. Emma's heart raced as she approached the oldest bookshelf, her fingers trembling as she reached for a dusty tome.

Jake, in the science lab, felt a chill run down his spine as he approached the back of the room. The lab was dark, save for the flickering light of a single experiment. He hesitated, then reached out to turn on the light, only to find that the switch was missing.
