A group of friends, including the narrator, attempted a 24-hour overnight challenge inside their old school building. They brought supplies, including food, makeup, and a laptop, and initially found an unlocked door, allowing them to enter. However, they soon discovered that an event was taking place outside, and they had to navigate the building without being detected. They settled in a classroom, got creative with arts and crafts, and even ordered Chinese food delivery. Just as they were about to sleep, a police officer arrived, questioning them and ultimately asking them to leave without consequences. The group quickly gathered their belongings and left the building, marking the first time they had failed to complete a 24-hour challenge.
