may notice a strange door or two on yo ur way to class. Though you'd love to check out these mysterious rooms, they are strictly off-limits to students. But the editors and writers here at SparkNotes are not students. And we have gone undercover to investigate these restricted r ooms. Now the secrets can be revealed! Faculty Lounge The smell of coffee hangs thick in the air. There's a sink! And a vending machin e! The chairs are huddled around a small table in the center of the room. Off to the side, an uncomfortable couch lurks, with cushions that have the imprints of many large butts. There is a bulletin board, covered with various documents, an d a photo of the principal dressed up as a baby for Halloween. There is a large bucket in the corner. Could be a cauldron. No. It's just a bucket. Not sure why it's there. Crap! Someone is coming! Boiler Room This room is unremarkable. Imagine a basement, but with more pipes. Also, there are imps hiding in the shadows that laugh menacingly. They eat earlobes. But asi de from that, you're not missing much. Unmarked Door With Strange Lock The truth is, no one is sure what this door leads to. It's been locked since 198 6, and the key for the lock is long gone. If you hold your ear to the door, you can hear a low whirring noise. It might be a robot that went berserk twenty year s ago, and since it could not be killed, the school officials decided it was bes t to simply lock it away until science created a robot-killing machine. Or it's just the old electrical breaker box. But it's probably that robot Room Located Behind the Kitchen Behold! This is where they keep drums of fruit salad and corn! There is also som eone chained to the wall with a sign over his head that reads, "The Interloper." Just kidding. There's no sign. Art Room Supply Closet There's nothing here except art supplies, and some shoddy three-point-perspectiv e drawings. But in the back of the room, there is an old, creepy painting of a w oman. Kiss her on the cheek, and you will be granted one wish. (Warning: Kissing the wrong cheek will kill you instantly.) Hatch in the Middle of the Auditorium Stage It's dark down here. Dusty too. The floor is littered with paper that bored acto rs shoved down through the floorboards. Would investigate further, but chances o f finding a spider nest are relatively high. Abandoned Classroom You can see through the window that there's nothing in this room, except for des ks and a heavily stained floor. The room itself smells like combs.
