A night at BHS

Don’t go to Brandon High School at night they said, why didn’t I listen? It all began a few days earlier in the lunch room. I was having lunch with my usual group of friends and then the local idiot showed up. He was in his Jr. Year like us and I had known him since freshmen year. His name was josh holly, he always thought he was better then everyone else, which is funny because I took this guy up on every challenge he could throw at me and I beat him. Well he come up and starts doing his normal thing of trying to show off and steal my girlfriend and we just ignored it. Then he starts heckeling me about this legend that the school was hunted. I tell him “if the school is hunted then why hasn’t there been a story about it in the newspaper and why haven’t I heard anyone talk about it?”
“Because their to scared to talk about it, just ask one of the seniors and they’ll tell you all about it.” Was his response. So I walk over to one of my other friends which was a senior and she said that he was full up crap and I agreed with her and thanked her for her time. I told him that to seddle this I would spend the night at the choll and prove that it wasn’t hunted. Just then my girl friend Bri pulled me aside and said.
“Are you nuts?
I was not surprised by this because Bri had always been alittle afraid of the paranormal.
“”ken-chan I don’t care if he is an a** you can’t do this because what if he’s right, and I don’t want my Ken-Chan getting hurt.”
I hugged her and told her that I would be fine and I prmised that I would call her if I ran into trouble. She smiled and hugged me and gave me her look of “I will still worry no matter what happens” look and I smiled and went back to Holly.
“so what do you say? If I can last one night here and still be alive in the morning will you cut it out with all of this crap and leave me and all my friends alone?” He agreed and walked away. The day went on normally from there and then I waited until my parents and brother were asleep, grabbed some snacks for the night and left. I got to the school around 9:00 and found one of the doors unlocked so I went in thinking that one of the janitors must have forgotten to lock the door. I sat in the lunch room and listened to my MP3 Player for about an hour and decided to take a walk. I walked all around the school and then went out to the auto teck area and took one of the golf carts out for a little spin. I drove around the school for about a half hour and then put it back so make it seem like no one had touched it. I walked back to wear I had my stuff and noticed that my MP3 Player was running, which was weird because I thought I turned it off. I turned it off and went to sleep. I dreamed about Bri and I on are wedding day and just when I was about to kiss her to complete the ceremony I was awoken by a loud “CRASH” sound and I sat up instantly and looked at my watch it read 3:00 AM. I sat there for a minute wondering what it was that could have had such a loud noise. I came to the conclusion that it must have been the lunch ladies making breakfast, but then I looked at my watch and I saw that it was Saturday. Then I thought “Oh maybe I didn’t put something back as carefully as I thought I did.”
I got up from my chair stretching and trying to wake up. I walked around for 5 minutes, turned a corner and stopped right in my tracks. On the floor unfound of me was an elf. I had always been afraid of elf’s because of those wishing troll things that were popular when I was a kid.
“Hello” he said with a grin on his face. Which didn’t make me fell any better.
“How are you and what are you doing here.” I managed to say.
“My name is Alex, and I should be asking you the same thing, it’s a Saturday what are you doing here?” said Alex.
“I’m trying to win a bet, so why are you here?” I said still a little scared.
“I’m gathering supplies.” He said with a grin.
“At a high school?” I said now more confused then scared.
“Yes, trying to see if I can find some weapons.”
“Weapons. “ I said with a laugh. “your not going to find any here, but I have a question. Why are you looking for weapons?” I said with a puzzled look.
“I’m trying to find a way to destroy this.” He held out a book with the Japanese character for death circled on the front cover. I tried to reach for it but he pulled it away.
“I can’t let you read this.” He said with a terrified look on his face. “If you read this you will die”
“I see, so how did you come into position of this book?”
“My girl friend Illy and I found it one day when we were walking through the woods. She picked it up and started to read what sounded to be a chant of some sort and the next thing I know she was dead., and ever since then every person that Has read the book has died.” He said with a said expiration on his face.
“Well this is just great.” I thought to myself.
“Here I am trying to prove that the school it’s hunted and I have this elf with a book that if I read it I die.”
“Follow me:” I said and I lead him to the main office to find a shredder. I found one a few minutes later and tried to tare a page out of the book so I could shred it and end all of this but the problem is it wouldn’t come loose. So I take out my knife and try to stab the book It looked like it was going to do it and the next thing I know the brade breake off the handle.
So I said “I have another idea.”
And with that I took him to the kitchen and throw the book in the oven and turned it to the highest temp. and pushed the ignite button, and we watched as the book busted into flames. After about 5 minutes of watching it burn I turned it off and opened the oven door to inspect the damage. I took the chard remains out of the oven and show it to him. He dropped to the ground and bowed in gratitude.
“Thank you so much., because of you the souls of the dead can now rest in peace and the book can never hurt another living soul.
“No problem.” I said and helped him up.
We walked out of the kitchen and throw the charred remains of the book in the trash
“Much thanks to you but I must be going now.” I nodded and he disappeared
I looked at my watch and it read 7:00 AM
“Damn I got to get home” And with that I grabbed all my stuff and ran out the door. I stopped at the paper stand and bought a paper so if anyone asked questions I could just say I was out buying a paper. I got home at 7:20 and thankfully no one was up yet. I put the paper on the table, went to my room and went to sleep.
I went to school Monday like always and when lunch came I told the group ask about what had happened on Friday night and none of them believed me which I wasn’t surprised, but there was one person that believed me and that was Bri. I told Holly that I stayed the whole night on Friday and even showed him some pictures I took of the schooll at night. He said that he didn’t believe me but have me a look that basically said “You Win” and with that I went back to talking with the group and life went on like normal.
