The chapter opens with a description of the feeling of being in a strange place at night. The narrator says that he feels like he's in another world. He's at school, which is weird because it's a weird place. He swears that he found the notebook he was looking for, but he can't find it. He says he'll keep searching until he finds it, but first, he wants to find the ghost story of the piano player who died before his recital. He hears the ghost's voice, but the story doesn't have much to do with the piano recital. So, the narrator decides that he needs to find a mission that he can accomplish. He decides to go back to the music room to see if he can hear the ghost of the student who died on the day before the recital. The music room has a lot of weird noises going on, and the narrator thinks that this is a prank. He wonders if the ghosts are trying to kill him, but then he realizes that they're just trying to get him to shut up. He wants to go home already, so he starts to search for the notebook. He finds it in a broom closet, and he swears he was the one who cursed the notebook in the first place. Then he remembers that he heard a story about a girl in the locker room who cursed a note book in the second floor music room. He starts to feel bad about the whole thing, but decides to check it out.
