• "Boom!" The thunder sounded as she creped down the passageway. The light of the lightning was casting shadows all along the wall. As though something was following her. She had a look in her eyes as though she was hypnotized by the little flicker of a blue light at the end of the passageway. Between crackles of thunder was a voice of a girl singing ever so softly, almost like a lullaby. The light was so enchanting and the voice was so inviting the girl could help but be drawn to it. She reached her hand out to try and grasp it as she was getting closer. The voice got louder and louder, which makes her heart, beat louder and louder and louder. "Ba-boom. Ba-boom. Ba-Boom. Ba-boom. Ba-boom." Her pulse increased as she reached the end of the passageway. Her out stretched hand went toward the light. When from out of the corner of her eye she had spotted a sparkle on something shinny. As she went to see what it was, it rose above her head and she only had enough time to let out a shriek as it came crashing down on her.

    The next day Maria, Liz, and Nadine were sitting at their usual lunch table discussing what had happened in their English class.
    "I still can't believe Henry asked you out!” Maria said ecstatically to Liz. “
    He obviously liked her. It was only a matter of time,” added Nadine.
    “Will you two calm down!” replied Liz.
    “No, you two are so cute together!” said Maria.
    “She is right ya know,” added Nadine.
    “You guys! He’s coming over be quiet and at least pretend to be normal for once, please.” Liz said hurriedly.
    “Hey, can I sit here?” Henry asked politely.
    “Sure” Replied Liz.
    “Anything for Liz’s new beau,” remarked Maria with a giggle. While Liz gave Maria the death stare Henry asked what she was doing tonight.
    Liz replied, “Nadine. Maria, and I were going to go and see a movie. Wanna come?”
    “I don’t want to intrude…incase this your ‘girls night’ of some sort,” He replied.
    “Nah, were just going to get away from this school,” answered Nadine.
    “Oh, do you guys not like the school?” Henry asked questioningly.
    “No, it’s just the same thing all the time and it’s not like we can go home since it’s a boarding school.” Replied Nadine.
    “The school has been giving me the creeps lately especially at night. I swear I heard someone scream but it was probably just my imagination,” Added Maria.
    “Maria, you get creeped out everywhere you go,” said Liz. Henry laughed.
    “When should I meet up with you guys?” Henry asked.
    “How about eight o’clock at the mess hall.” When Henry went to reply he was interrupted by an announcement: “Attention students, this is you principal speaking, will all student please report to the auditorium immediately. Any students on the third floor should not take the science hall staircase. Please report to the auditorium now. That is all.”
    “What’s that all about?” Liz asked.
    “He probably just lost his stapler again and thinks someone stole it.” Nadine replied.
    They all giggled their way into the auditorium. As they walked into the large room they noticed cops at the two exit doors near the stage.
    “Why are there cops in here?” Maria asked worriedly.
    “I have no idea,” Liz said. As they all sit together in a row in the middle the principal comes on the mic. “Good Afternoon everyone. I called you all here to tell you something that happened last night. It seems as though the body of Lily Crawford was found dead this morning. We are unsure of what happened but I need all the students residing on the 3rd floor to come with me because the cops have some questions. If anyone has any information of what happened please notify me or one of the police officers,” The principal said. Everyone was in utter shock.
    “Oh my gosh!” Maria said.
