Its unfortunate. A few years ago, I was in fifth grade. I had a wonderful teacher indeed. It was the first day of school, everyone was excited. We got in our seats fairly quickly. Our teacher introduced himself, and started off with a little diddy about his life. He started on his teaching career, which began at our current school.
After a short while, he said, Kids. Please dont be frightened. But do take this seriously. I don't want anything happening, escpecially this year.} All of us were quite confused, he must have seen it on our little faces, for he then said, I am not joking around with you when I tell you this. Please save any questions until the end, if you have any. I would appreciate it if you didnt interrupt. We sat in our desks, wondering what was going to happen. And his story began.
The twelveth year I was teaching at this school (he had been teaching for quite some time now, his 36th that year) there was a terrible accident. I had a girl student about your age. She was cheery usually, but her classmates were bullies, and most picked on her. She was smart and like any regular girl, I dont know the reason they picked on her, but it happened. There was a day when I was in my office (he turned to look, at that point, at the office behind him, then continued.. almost sad) I was in my office, doing some paperwork. The girl, her name was Molly ******. Molly was sharpening her pencil in the back. She liked them just right to do her homework. Her classmates who sat in the back of the room stared at her when she did this, I could see it from the corner of my eye. I heard them whispering too, I wonder to this day if she could hear them as well. They said to each other, "When she comes down your aisle stick your leg out, this'll be a laugh." I was finishing writing my sentence on the paper, and was going to come back out to make sure nothing happened. As I lay my pencil down, and straighten the papers quickly I hear a THUMP and then a whimper, almost a squeal. I go out and see the boys who were in the back tripped Molly. I went over to help her up, but she wasnt moving. I picked her up to bring her to the nurse in case she was hurt. As I do this, I notice blood. Now don't be frightened, but Molly had very sharp pencils, and she was a little heavier than average.. just a little. When she was tripped, her pencil was facing up. She landed straight on it. Because you are so young, your skulls aren't as strong as they could be. I suppose Molly never drank much milk, because the pencil went through her skull. (he hears some gasp, and sees some tears in a few of my classmates eyes, but he knows he must continue) She was killed. (he sighed often during this story, it affected him very emotionally as if he blames himself, still to this day he won't talk much about it. Only this one story) Six nights after her death, a janitor went to lock up this room after cleaning. It was a normal day.. nothing interesting had happened. But, when I came to school the next morning, I saw the janitor, still in my room. The door was not locked, the janitor was close to it though. I found the janitor laying face down. A pencil.. (more sighing) A pencil was stuck in his head. (He gulped at this point, forcing himself to continue) He was killed. The police.. they didnt know what to think of it. but then, six years later, on the same day Molly was killed, another occurance happened. No one thought it would after so long of a period. It was strange.. the police, and all of the teachers and staff were on their toes. Please dont be frightened (at this point he wants to reassure us, as much as reassure himself I have concluded.) Six days after, a student, I won't tell you his name, was let into this room to grab his homework. He also never left this room after that night. Everyone was scared, but you dont need to be (his reassurance isnt quite working on anyone, including himself) Another twelve years passed. Six years ago, it was. The person who does payroll, she was in here putting my items in the mailbox (he looked back over his shoulder to point and show us a little blue box) She ended up being killed. Twelve days later, another poor student was killed. I don't want to repeat what was found in the morning. But, if we are right, the pattern would happen this year. (I raised my hand at this point, though he gestured for me to ask later, my classmates were looking around, scared out of their wits, which in my opinion they didnt have many to start with anyway) I want you all to stay out of this classroom when the lights are off. If you don't.. well, bad things could happen. I am telling you this out of concern, this isn't a joke (he mainly says to a group of boys that sit in the back of the class, one in perticular, who was two seats behind me, who is snickering) Take this seriously. I dont want anyone hurt. (he then excused us to go to our next class, next door, and I never got my question answered. By the way, it was what kind of pencil was used in each.. I am a curious person and I did not believe him at first, though I refrained from laughing.)
That year, one of the boys in my class.. my crush </3 was killed. I mourn his death to this day. (I won't give out information about the date it actually happened, because it seems wrong, so don't ask) At our school, we don't speak of it anymore. It hasn't been long enough, and I won't be in school the next time it is thought to happen. Now I know, my poor science teacher, he wasn't joking.
