They were sitting at a table at school, when Destiny, the new girl walked up. ‘’Hey guys’ Destiny said in a soft, quiet voice. ‘’Hey Destiny ‘’ the group said cheerfully. ‘’So is the school really haunted?’’ Destiny asked. ‘’Well, we think so. The story says that one of the female teachers got burnt alive in room C1. One of the male teachers fancied her but she rejected him so he locked her in the room and set the school on fire ‘’ Replied Nicola. ‘’Wow! That’s really creepy, we should so stay at the school for a night and see if it’s really haunted!?’’ Destiny said. ‘’Oh my God that’s a great idea!’’ Sarah said. ‘’Yeah, sounds a little spooky ‘’ Jazz and Josh said while grinning at each other. ‘’Guys, so are you in? Jack? ’’ Nicola said. ‘’Yeah, sure, sounds good!’’ Jack said. * So the group was in class, everyone, except Destiny .They all had this great idea to scare the living day out of Destiny when they stay the night in the school .Of course they didn’t believe the daft story about the teacher! There plan was, that one by one everyone would disappear and it would just be her left, all by herself, till she breaks.’’This was going to be fun’’ they all said secretively! * They all met at the school gate at midnight, everyone was dressed in running shoes and sporty clothes, all except Destiny. Nicola thought destiny looked so silly in a black dress and heels, so unpractical .They had to break in by a window, and of course Nicola was the first to notice that Jazz was the only one that needed help getting in. See the thing is, both Nicola and Jazz have a thing for Josh, but Josh has a thing for Jazz and Nicola hates Jazz for that reason, she thinks she is way better looking than Jazz. Nicola is a tad of a bitch, I mean it was her idea to try and scare Destiny after all.

‘’Is anybody scared?’’ Destiny said in a shaky voice. ‘’Oh yeah! Isn’t this thrilling? ‘’ Josh said chucking a wink in Jazzes direction.

So they got to room C1. But the door was locked, Jack had to pick the lock. It was a windy, rainy, dark night; the room was filled with darkness, and the wisp of a shadow. They all look around, and Destiny suggests a séance, everyone looks at Nicola and she grins back at them with a slight hint of darkness in her eyes. They all sit in a circle and hold hands. Destiny starts talking in some weird language and then it’s all quiet, in till ‘’//she left her books, her car, her clothes and a note but all she wrote was tonight I’m leaving on a train//’’ Everyone looks around, looking scared, but Nicola is grinning at Jack, he looks clueless for a second... ‘’ah’’ Jazz screams and hugs closer to Josh ‘’what was that?!’’ ‘’I’ll go find out what it is’’ Jack says with a fake look of worry across his face,’’ I’ll be back in five’’. ‘’NO! Don’t!’’ Destiny screams, but it was too late he was already gone; heading down the hall .The last noise of him was the doors closing. They all sit down again after realising they couldn’t go after him. Still its silent, except for the wind slashing the windows .So Destiny breaks the silence with a question to Nicola. ‘’So what’s the real story about this room, what actually happened?’’. ‘’Well, years ago, the cleaner had a thing for a female teacher here .He asked her to go to a wedding with him as a date, couple thingy, and she rejected him and he was the possessive type and he went a little mad, the pain of rejection was too much for him and so he locked her in this very room and ...’’ ‘’Hey, Nicola it’s been five minutes! And Jacks not back!’’ Jazz said urgently ‘’Ok, Jazz why don’t you go find Jack?’’ she said half winking at Jazz. ‘’Um only if Josh can come too?’’ she said while smiling at Josh. ‘’That’s up to Josh!’’ Nicola replied bleakly. ‘’Yeah id lov...like to come with you’’ winking at Jazz ‘’I’ll be your knight in shining amore’’ Josh whispered to Jazz, she blushed. So jazz and Josh left to ‘find’ Jack and now it was just Sarah, Nicola and Destiny. ‘’So anyway’’ Nicola continued her story. ‘‘Where was I?, oh that’s right...He locked her in this very room and set the school on fire and then left her to burn alive. He left to the wedding and never came back .they say she still haunts this room and looks for souls to pray on, steal.’’. ‘’Didn’t her face burn off first?’’ Sarah asked ‘’Hmm yeah, I heard that someone walked past this room on time and saw her face but I think that’s daft’’. Nicola said. ‘’wow’’ was all Destiny could say, she was shocked. Destiny looks around and noticed something written on the white board. It read... ‘’I NO YOUR SECRET NICOLA’’ Sarah and Nicola look at the board then at each other, all Sarah could do was give a shake of the head to say ‘’no’’. Nicola looked shocked and a little worried. ‘’Sarah! Why did u write that to me?! You were meant to write destiny’s Name! God u can’t do anything right!’’ Nicola blurted out in rage. And at that moment ‘’//She left her books, her car, her clothes and a note but all she wrote was tonight I’m leaving on a train//’’. Sarah and Nicola looked at each other and say ‘’must be Jack messing around with us’’

Destiny looked puzzled. No-one spoke for a minute or two, in till Destiny finally said. ‘’What? What do u mean write Destiny’s name?’’. Sarah looked guilty, and ashamed. She finally said. ‘’I’m sorry. But we all thought that it would be funny to scare the new girl, you. Turns out it’s not that funny ‘’. ‘’Oh pfft you were into it, don’t lie ‘’.Nicola said almost spitting the words at Sarah. ‘’No I wasn’t, I’m still pained with guilt from the last time’’. Destiny butted in ‘’last time?’’. ‘’Yeah. Last time. There was a new girl just like you .We would play tricks on her, like put something in her bag and say she stole it when really, she hadn’t, or we got jack to ask her out somewhere, Jack didn’t show up, and she was there looking stupid and when we got back to school Jack said he hadn’t asked her out. Just silly mind games, nothing but she went mad! She left school and had to be hospitalized. We never saw her again.’’ Sarah said sadly. ‘’Oh it was nothing. She faked it. It was funny! Get over it Sarah.’’ Nicola said bleakly. Destiny looked puzzled and horrified! ‘’OH MY GOD! How could you...? How could you do that to someone and be happy and laugh it off?! AHG! You’re sick’’ Destiny almost spitting the words at them, walked to the door and said one more thing. ‘’Don’t follow me! If you do it just might be the last thing you do!’’ She warned as she walked out the door. Sarah and Nicola looked at each other a little freaked out. ‘’What do we do now?’’ Sarah asked stupidly. ‘’Follow her, scare her some more’’. ‘But you heard what she said’’. Sarah said grimly. ‘’Yeah empty threats ‘’. Nicola said confidently.

So they followed Destiny silently. They got hold of some sports gear. They threw at her to try and spook her, and as they followed Destiny they realised they were going in circles, and then as they went past room 1C they heard a noise coming from the room and went to investigate. And after about ten minutes of nonstop wind and rain they heard the noise again. It was a loud screech, like a chair moving out from a desk, the girls looked around but there was nothing .Then ... //‘’She left her books ,her car, her clothes and a note but all she wrote was tonight I’m leaving on a train’’//. ‘’what is that?’’ Sarah asks, ‘it’s creeping me out’’. ‘’I don’t no’’. Nicola replies coldly. ‘’SCREECH, SCREECH, SCREECH’’. They look around anxiously, searching for some sign of movement, then Nicola see’s a shadow moving to one side of the room. ‘’There!’’ Nicola whispers, staring wide eyed where the shadow had been. ‘’What? Nicola I didn’t see anything’’ Sarah replied. ‘’There, there it is again!’’ Nicola, with an anxious shriek. ‘’Ok Nicola’’ Sarah says, a little worried about Nicola now ‘’your freaking me out Nicola, I don’t see anything or hear anything .I’m leaving ‘’. ‘’No don’t please!’’Nicola pleads. Sarah gives her a harsh stare. ‘’Ok fine be that way, but don’t come crying to me when the burnt face comes after you !’’ Nicola replied. So Sarah left, and after about five minutes Nicola started hearing the ‘screeching’ noise and seeing the shadow. It was moving closer and closer. She was getting scared .Then she felt something grab at her leg, she sat at the table as stiff as a stick! Then she felt it again, crawling up her leg, gripping it tighter and tighter, strangely feels like her legs on fire, she gets up in an instant and tries to run to the door, but something pulls her down, she’s still hearing the screeching noise. Then the door creeps open, and she lets out a scream. Destiny is standing at the door with her black high heels and her long black dress. Destiny looks down at Nicola, smirking. Nicola looks at her with a sigh of relief. ‘’ Nicola? Are you ok?’ ’ Destiny asks. ‘’n,n,no, no I’m not .there’s this ...’’ Nicola replied ,shaking. ‘’Nicola do you remember that girl you played the trick on ? The last girl? You do, don’t lie. I bet you don’t even feel sorry for her, you think she had it coming .Well you know what she didn’t, you were all so mean, it was wrong, but yeah they helped but it was you who thought of it, you thought it would be funny to lend her some shampoo, only it wasn’t shampoo it was pure concentrated poison, and all her hair fell off. I hope you’re happy with yourself’’. Destiny burned Nicola with her words. ‘’But, but , uh how do you know about that ?’’Destiny smirked and Nicola looked out of breath. ‘’Wait, you her , you’re the girl we made go crazy’’. ‘’Am I Nicola? Am I ?’’ Destiny asked still smirking. ‘’Wait where is everyone else?’’ Nicola asked trying not to think to hard about what Destiny just said. ‘’ They’ve gone, they left you here, ditched you. What great friends you had Nicola.’’ Destiny said with a grin. ‘’What?! NO they wouldn’t do that. Where are they seriously !? You psycho! Where are they!’ Nicola screaming now. ‘’As I said before they’ve left you, and there not coming back ‘’. ‘’You psycho, crazy bitch what have you done?!’’ Nicola screamed. Destiny took one last look at Nicola sympathetically, and said. ‘’Nicola, you had it coming ‘’, and she simply slammed the door and walked away. ‘’No! Don’t leave me! Please. Help! Help! Help!’’ Nicola screamed out. Then she was being pulled back into the darkness, by her legs, the hands that were pulling her, they felt hot and slippery and very tight. She screamed out in terror, again and again. After about five minutes the screaming stopped, and the quiet sobbing began. Then the door opened, Sarah, Jazz, Josh and Jack burst in, appraise the room and there was something written on the white board it read ‘‘TOLD YOU THE PAST ALWAYS COMES BACK TO HAUNT YOU NICOLA!’’. ‘’What the hell?! ‘’ Jack said, shocked. ‘’Oh where’s Nicola ?!’’ Sarah asked. Nicola was sitting, arms wrapped around her knees, under the front desk, rocking back and forward, back and forward, sobbing. ‘’OH MY GOD! Nicola!’’ Sarah called out. Everyone came running over! ‘’Nicola what’s wrong? What happened to you?!’’Jack asked, worried. ‘’She did, she is ...’’ Nicola stuttered. ‘’Come on tell us! Or we can’t help you ‘’ Jazz cried out. ‘’Destiny...She , I got dragged’’ Nicola burst into tears again. ‘’Ok, Who’s got a phone?’’ Jack asked. ‘’Oh I do, I’ll call my bro ,he’ll come get us’’ Josh said, already dialling the number. ’’yeah hey bro, can you come get us?’’. ‘’Yeah sure dude, where are you’s ?’.’ ‘’At the school ...’’. ‘’Why you at school at this hour ?’’. ‘’Oh we stayed the night to see if the ghost was actually real ..and Nicola ,something has happened but she can’t tell us .and Destiny the new girl..’’. ‘’New girl? Mate there’s no new girl ....’’. ‘’What ....?’’ josh shrieked.’’Shit! Lost him. No reception! And he said there’s no new girl!’’ ‘’What?!’’ Everyone cried out! ‘’SCREECH!SCREECH!SCREECH!’’ Everyone looks around, searching for some sign of movement, and then they see it, a face in the shadows. Josh looks down, sees a shoe, a black high heel, and hears a hysterical laugh...
