I was absent from school yesterday, and when I came back, I had to catch up on a lot. Yesterday we had a lot of notes in history class, and same applies to science. English wasn't that much, just the average read a story and answer the questions. P.E. and art weren't really important, but math, we did a whole test about a chapter. I wasn't scared for the test, I knew the topics. It's just I didn't expect it to come so soon, and so unexpectedly. I decided to somewhat get a start on it at advisory time. I went in advisory, and after announcements, I asked my teacher and he let me go. I headed my way to the two-story building, where most of the classes are, and it just didn't feel the same with all the short 6th graders crowding the halls, or the 8th graders yelling the weirdest things. I was a 7th grader, and we were somewhat the most mature. I'm not sure how, but we were able to mantain ourselves in front of others. There still was some kids, but only because it was in the morning, and some students were sent by teachers to go to other classes to recieve important papers, or to deliver them. I went up the stairs and walked down the hall, to the last classroom. I knocked on the door, and a student closest to the door answered it. Of course, I was allowed in and told my math teacher that I was absent yesterday. "Should I get a start on it right now?" I asked.

"I have a noisy advisory, so to concentrate best, I would reccomend coming in at lunch." She told me kindly. I then all kinds of craziness going on. Kids were playing cards, some talking. I then looked at the front of the room to see a kid who was finishing his test. I looked back at my teacher and said "I'll just come while lunch." and proceeded to return to my advisory, with 13 minutes left of it.

My classes were going, somewhat, smooth, although I was absent yesterday. I really didn't find much interest in any of my classes except history, only because of my teacher. She was pretty good, but then class ended. It was lunch time and after a somewhat long time just sitting there, waiting for it, I remembered I had to go to math class. I really wish I wasn't absent yesterday now.

I went into my math class to find my math teacher and a strange looking man discussing something. "So they aren't allowed to use calculators for this part of the assignment, and write their names if they cause too much trouble." I overhear my math teacher say.

"Ok, thanks." The weird man says in a low voice, which kind of sounds like when you're throat is sore.

I figure out that this guy is a substitute and I ask a test. He hands me one. The substitute and I are not the only ones here. I see two more kids finishing their tests. One finishes pretty fast, and he hands his test. Shortly after, the other student finishes her test, and she hands her test to the subsitute as well.

My math teacher usually leaves the door open, but the substitute reachers for the door and closes it. I swear while working on my test, I see him as a weird figure. He has black, dark skin. He has eyes like a void, and seems to be 8 feet tall, although when I look at him directly, I see his normal self. When I say normal, I mean how he looked when talking to my teacher. He looked the exact opposite from normal, with white and grey curly hair, but what made him unnormal was his crooked smile, which I swear stretched across his face.

I got freaked out from this guy, especially when he started talking to himself. I heard him mumble weird noises, and eventaully his skin started to get darker, and his eyes starting to become voids. His height was shifting, but now he was becoming to be about 8 feet tall. Now is when I started to get really freaked out. I asked if I could use the bathroom.

"Lunch will be over in fifteen minutes." He tells me.

"But it's an emergency." I say, and eventually make him believe that I really have to go to the bathroom. I grab my phone from my pocket without him noticing. I run down the stairs, feeling weird due to them being so empty, like I mentioned before. Those halls feeled eerie, without those 6th graders running around. 6th graders have all their classes downstairs. I enter the outside area, where it's supposed to be crowded. I'm suprised to see no one playing outside. Maybe they still are in the lunch room. I enter the building and take a quick peek inside, but I see no one.

I exit the building and am in an area with paths leading to the bus route, the engineering/art classes, and the two-story. I really can't tell a teacher, due to the substitute not doing anything wrong. Just then I hear footsteps. I look beside me, and I see him. Not him, but the 8 feet tall, black skinned monster he is. I hide, while he says "I'm coming for you!" and "You need to finish your test!"

My heart is racing in my chest, so I go to another class now. I enter the two-story and start banging on teacher's doors. I know one of my old teacher's from 6th grade always keeps her door unlocked, so I enter that class. I get surprised to see no one inside. "But 6th graders and 7th graders have different lunch times." I think to myself. I exit and look across the hallway, and through a clear door, I see the monster. I quietly hide and when he enters a classroom, I quietly open the door and exit the two story building. The only option now is to run away from school campus. My school is located in the middle of nowhere, but still, I run as fast as I can and exit school property. After running for a long time, I'm able to reach people. I know my home is close by, so I walk there. I know the code to my garage, so I open it and open the door. My mom greets me, in a strange voice, but it isn't my mom. It's him........
