The School Story

By Gryphon Akridge

Chapter 1: The School

I pulled up the hood of my hoodie and got off the school bus. I took out my phone to check the time. It was 7:10. I put my phone back in my pocket and opened the door. It is my freshman year of high school.

I can't wait to see my friend. Ash is the only real friend I have. Ash was at his locker and was putting his coat away it was a cold day for August.

Ash has been my friend for as long as I could remember he is funny kind and loyal he has blond hair and brown eyes. He is almost always in shorts and a hoodie. Ash is one of my closest friends.

“Hey, Kiran how was your summer?” Ash asked me with a smile.

“It was good, how about your summer?” I asked.

“Mine was amazing dude!” he said.

“So what is our first class?” I asked

“I don't know, I think we have to go to forum but we can walk around the school for a while if you want,” Ash said.

“Sounds good,” I asked as I started walking.

Ash followed me down the hallway.

“Kiran you excited?” he asked.

“I guess,” I said.

I walked past a group of kids in the hallway. I try not to get near them because I don't want a repeat of last year. Last year one of the kids in our class died. I killed him, but I didn't mean too. Ever since then everyone tries to stay away from me. He just stopped breathing when it happened. Then he died because of me. At least that is what I thought. I haven't been able to figure out why it happened.

“Kiran, you ok?” Ash snapped me out of my memory.

“I ́m fine,” I said lying. It's become easy to lie to Ash. He usually looks for the best in people.

“Ash let's head back to forum,” I said.

”Welcome to forum,” said the principal “today we will have a school tour lead by our star student Carmen Winter.”

“Welcome students, I will be taking you on your tour,” she said.

Carmen led the students out of Forum and started walking down the hallway. She stopped at a door that had a do not enter sign in front of it. The door had this strange energy about it. I got goosebumps.

“What's wrong with that door?” I asked under my breath.

“Now you must never go in there,” Carmen said pointing to the door. “Are there any questions?”

Ash raised his hand, “Why can't we go in there?”

“Go in and find out,” she said.

Ash started to put his hand on the door. He flew back against the lockers with a crash.

“That's why you don't touch the door“ Carmen said.

“Hey Carmen, leave him alone,” I said.

“I would stay out of this death boy,” Carmen said.

I hated that nickname. It felt like a burden. I let my emotions get the better of me. Next thing I knew, she fell to the floor breathing heavily and coughing up blood. Ash punch me in the arm hard.

“Sorry, what?” I asked.

She got up from the floor and ran to the nurse's office. A new tour guide came out from the office. Ash and I lagged behind.

“Ash, do you feel that?” Kiran asked.

“Yeah, I think it's coming from the room,” I opened the door slowly but it didn't send me back flying. Inside there are a lot of machines and other things like empty test tubes. Ash closed the door behind us.
