Chapter 1: School Event

I slammed my forehead on my desk and sighed.
Another boring day at school. It was October again, halloween is near. I am going to predict that there is going to be a project starting today until the end of October.
They already started decorating the whole school with props, tiny ghosts, bats, skulls, carved face pumpkins, monsters and whatever they make. Whoever put these decorations up have too much free time.
The teacher suddenly barge in the classroom, looking excited, not carrying anything. Seeing the teacher not carrying amything means there's nothing to do during the period. But today is the first of October, and there will be a big project to be announced.
"Alright, listen up class!" Our adviser clapped his hands together, he shouted as loud as he can. One of the boys on a tall step ladder setting the decorations suddenly fell down to the ground
"The school has announced a school event, which is Halloween Event Statue Competition. Create any statue that represents or connected to Halloween"
One of my classmates raised her hand.
"Who are we competing with?" She asked
"You are going to compete with the other section, Grade-9 Lemon and Orange. Whoever wins will compete with the winners of the other grade levels"
"What's the prize?"
"Well, prize is a secret"
Typical
"Now everybody start working! In the morning until afternoon is the making of the project. But you will stille be expecting classes in the next days, you can only continue it in your free time"
"Yes!" I whispered like I win a jackpot with my fist on the air
No lesson until afternoon! Hell yeah! Well, hoooooo, I am ghost👻. They always never notice me, thats why they gave me the nickname 'Ghost'. I drift through the background and no one ever notices me. I’ve been invisible since day one of high school. Perfect cover for naps.
I stretched my arm and yawned, welp, more sleeping time for me.
I just lay down my head on my desk and close my eyes and drift to sleep.
Bonk
"Waaaah!"
Someone bonked me on the head, jolting me up. It was my seatmate Shari, our class president and one of the popular girls in the school.
I thought no one is going to notice me just like last year? And who the hell is this person does she think to disturb about to be my deep slumber!?
"Don't you dare sleep again Riz! I assign you to the help with the project"
She pointed at the group, already crowded discussing while the others are decorating and in and outside the classroom.
"There aren't going to notice me anyway" I replied with a grin
She bonked me on the head with her spatula which came out of nowhere again.
"Ow!"
"Don't think like that! Just join them. At least act like part of the group"
"Fine!"
I stood up to my seat and drag myself to the group. They are discussing what kind of project to make.
"I know, how about a big bat!" One said, flapping her arms mimicking a bat
"How about Frankenstein!" One suggested, raising both of his arms trying to be big and scary
"My friend talked about making Frankenstein as their project while coming to school, they might agree to it and think that we are copying their project"
"How about a vampire like Dracula, or a big big carved pumpkin"
"Not unique"
They started thinking more after the backshots. I just remained silent, watching them as they think.
After months with these classmates, thinking they were smarter than me. They are just a bunch if morons, how about a demon statue, no one ever made one in the past whole years. 
I can't suggest it to them knowing damn well they are just going to igrore me.
Tyrone snapped his fingers "Well, that kinda hurt Riz calling us morons. But demon statue is a great idea!"
Wait what!? How did he know!? He's like he can read mind-. Right, he is Tyrone, he can accurately sometimes reads minds. Some knew him about it.
The others brghtened up.
"Wooaah! Demon Statue! That's a great idea!"
A girl took out a paper and started sketching a demon statue. She drew a tall half naked demon with an angry ugly face and a long single horn. Just because it's means he is a ugly. Just make it handsome for today.
"If we want to beat the other classes, we will make it as realistic as we can!" She said in full determination while her eyes sparkling
"If we make it as realistic as we can, then we need a huge marble. But marbles are too big and heavy to fit in this school. People might be more curious and might secretly come here to see what are we making breaking our surprise" one said
"He's right, it might be no longer a surprise for rhe whole school" another agreed
The girl just close her eyes and grin as if it is not a problem "Hmph, we have nothing to worry about. Our class is full of talented people" 
She made an arrow from the whole body of the sketch of the statue "We are going make it out of papier mache, Iywan and Gerold, our architects will guide it's length and width, and height, making sure it is not tilted and uneven sides"
"Aye aye sir! I mean ma'am!" Iywan and Gerold both saluted
"There will be teams who will be making the papier mache and another team who will get the papier mache and start working for the statue. Make sure that when it hardens, it felt like the texture of a solid marble"
She looked at Haze, Sarah, and Paul "Once the statue is done, our three expert painters will the statue as realistic as they can. Everything clear?"
"Yes ma'am!" Everyone saluted
"Now I want you all to go home and bring the materials we need!"
They chanted as they scattered and went outside. I just stayed in place, watching, then yawned. 
There's already a lot of them, no need to go home and get more.
"Where do you think you are going?" Shari grabbed my jacket, stopping me from going back to my seat
"I dunno, take a nap and wait for them?"
"Nu uh uh, let's ask Lire if there's something we can help"
Tch, such a funbreaker. I let her drag me back to the spot. 
"What can we do to help?" Shari asked Lire
Lire squinted at her sketch "Hmmm, I could feel that there is a lot of missing here, like details"
Lire and Shari stared at the sketch, I turned around and look. 
"Aren't demons supposed to have wings?" I blurted out
Lire looked at me with shining eyes "Yes, wings!"
She gave the demon big with sharp ends wings "Nice thinking you got Riz!"
Nice thinking? Pfft, isn't it obvious? 
"Demons can sometimes carry a Pitchfork, give it's feet and hands big sharp nails. And also instead of just standing up, give it a pose"
Lire nodded as I speak "Hm hm, I see what you are getting there"
In a blink of an eye, she erased everything and redrew it. The demon is knelt down, his right hand on his knee and his pitchfork on his left hand. It has now sharp big claws and spreaded wide wings.
"Much better" Shari muttered  "So, what do add for more details?" 
Shari tapped her chin "I have a talisman buried on our backyard"
"Great idea! A talisman to ward off evils!"
"Wait, why would a demon ward of evils if it's a demon and evil itself?"
"You know, races also fight their own race"
"Any more to add?"
We all exchanged glances and shrugged.
"How about this, Riz and I get the talisman while we think"
My jaw dropped "Huuuuuh? Why the hell do you need me to just get a talisman in your home?"
"Just like I said it was buried in my backyard and no one is at my house today. You can't just let a girl dig"
I slapped my head in disbelief "Fine, it was supposed to be my sleeping time"
"If you want to sleep then let's do it soon as possible"
***
"How deep did your grandfather bury this thing!?" I asked in frustration "I was expecting it to be just 2 meters deep"
"Nah, it's about 20 meters deep
"Huh!?" I threw the shovel to the ground out of anger "Why would you bury a thing that deep!?"
"Stop whining and get work already, and isn't that tight jacket you are wearing bother you?"
I move my upper body and arms around, it was stiff, making my body hard to move.
"Oh, you're right"
I unzipped and took off my jacket, freeing and revealing my big musculine body. 
I've been doing workout at home about a few months after some motivation, this might be a perfect time to test my strenght and stamina.
I picked up the shovel from the ground and continued digging.
"Ttttt-t-t" I can hear Shari stuttering loudly
I looked at her, she is staring at me with wide eyes, her mouth watery and drooling, her phone fell to the ground from her hand.
"What, you hungry? Don't you have food in this expensive looking big house of yours?"
Her cheeks suddenly blushed "Huh!? Why are you asking that after you take your jacket off!"
"My jacket?... Wait what are we even talking about right now, I don't understand"
She looked away and cross her arms
"J-just get the job done, forget everything we said" she pouted
I continued digging deeper and deeper, the pile of dirt near the hole got higher and higher.
Finally, I slammed the metal box out of the hole, carried myself up snd roll on the groun, tired and catching my breath.
"Finally, you found it. Now return this pile of dirt in the hole and go back to school. C'mon now, chop chop"
.........
Seriously?
