Where Are WeⅠWhat a cold winter!
But Melissa and xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Lydia still got up early, just to find a seat in the classrooms.
Every winter the classrooms are always full of people.
It"s time for students to prepare for the entrance tests for graduate studies.
They were still quite sleepy.
Maybe Melissa knew where they were heading.
Lydia just followedMelissa, her eyes almost closed.


Arrivinga bit later then other students, theyfound that classrooms were quite crowded.
So theyclimbedto the upper floors, one after the other.
Finally,they arrived atthe highest floor.
Melissa checked one classroom after another but they could not findtwo free seats anywhere.
They walked along the passage, and at last Melissa was standing in front of a silvery white door.
It was strange in deed, as doors in this old teaching building were normallyred, deep red,but as Melissa just wanted to sit down and open her books, shedid not notice.

Ah, I hope there are some empty seats here.
Melissa read the sign, Room 530,andthen entered it.
Lydia just followedher intothe classroom.


"It"sempty"!

How could it be?
She wasthankful nevertheless.
Melissa was so relievedthat she noticed nothing out of the ordinary, not eventhe silvery white desks and chairs which like the doors were normally deepred.
The blackboard wasdark green, which was quite unusualforold buildings.
She just chose a seat and sat down as didLydia.
She was still sleepy andforced herself to fetch her books from her school bags.
But something suddenly came to her mind and a light of coldness overwhelmed her.
She was astonished and awake all at once and looked around the classroom.

"Where are we"?
She screamed suddenly.

"What"?
Melissa said,drowningherself in herbooks.
"Where are we"?
Lydia repeated.
Melissawas awoken from her drowsiness byLydia"s sudden outburst.
Lydia wassure that even in their new teaching buildings there were noclassroomslike this.

"Hey, we are in room530of the NorthTeachingBuilding", said Melissa.

"530!
But there is noroom 530 in the NorthTeachingBuilding!
Can"t you see anything oddhere"?
Lydia was scared now.
"What.
.
.
what do you mean"?
Melissa looked attentively at the classroom for the first time.
"Er, it"s really somewhat different fromthe other classrooms, but I"m sure it"s marked room530".

"No 530 is in the North teaching building.
Have you forgottenthat the left sideof the 5th floor of the North building is normally left empty?
There are just 15 classrooms on that floor.
How could there be a room 530"?


The silvery white color seemed to be vaporizedand things were a bit vague in the room.
"Well, I don"t understand.
I just sawthis room and entered it.
Maybe, maybe we should leave it, now",Melissa said with a quiet, hesitanttone.
They stood upto leave.
It seemed that nothingwasreal.
To Lydia and Melissa"s open-mouthed horror and shock, the desks were moving!
"Oh my God" cried Lydia as shetried to walk to thedoor.

"Where are you?
I can"t see you",Melissa cried!

Lydia could notsee Melissa either.
The door, had vanished!
There seemed to be a thick fog around her.
Frightened she walked back.
Then she saw Melissa.
To be continued.
