Hell School

I’ve always hated this school, always uninteresting, boring, delinquent student body, terrible teachers, just downright awful. Well today that’s about to change.

(beep beep, beep beep) Its 6 am and it’s time to get ready for school. I go and take a shower, brush my teeth, throw on some clothes, pop my headphones in which are blasting metal and now I’m off to school. I hated this damn IPod; it was very glitchy and sometimes would play by itself randomly and from the outboard speaker instead of the headphones even if they were plugged in. It did that and I was fixing it on my way out. As I’m walking in the darkness I get a weird feeling, a sudden ominous aura surrounds me. As I start nearing my bus stop a small fog cloud starts lowering. I arrive to an empty bus stop and am greeted by nobody, this isn't surprising though. It’s the last day before spring break and the people in my school have a tendency of deciding to take an extra day off before a break starts. I thought they were morons, but after what the day held for me they didn't seem so dumb after all.

After about a 5 minute wait I see my bus trailing down the street, as it starts to near I began feeling uneasy but I didn't know why. I just shrugged it off. When I get on the bus I’m greeted by a substitute bus driver that had an extremely eerie smile that reached from ear to ear. He had jagged yellow teeth, a dark complexion, and empty, soulless eyes. As I turn to find my seat I notice nobody is on the bus. This is where I knew everything was going wrong, I turned to dart towards the exit but the driver slammed the door shut and stepped on the gas pedal with a maniacal laugh.

I start yelling "Get me off this bus right now!" He just completely ignores me. I try to pull the lever that opens the door but I’m greeted with a large electrical shock that shoots me back. The bus driver looks at me with an angry and serious expression and says "There’s no getting off till we reach our destination. Now sit down and shut the fuck up." I do as he says in fear of what could happen and he continues laughing to himself with his evil, twisted smile.

We reach the school and he says "haha- End of the line, haha- have fun HAHAHA" I get off the bus and he storms away. The school looks different. It seems a lot shadier; the fences are replaced by walls that reach about 20 feet. There’s no visible way out. I start walking around the campus hopelessly trying to find an exit. I go classroom to classroom in hopes of finding someone, but the place was deserted. Or so I thought.

As I enter what normally was my homeroom I hear a clicking on the walls coming from the next room. I freeze, I get goosebumps and the hairs on my neck stand up. I feel an evil presence coming from that room. I hear an evil, almost demonic, chuckling coming from there and all I hear is the sound of, what I could only assume were sharp fingernails or a knife trailing across the wall. The footsteps leave the room and I attempt to hide. Silence.

I believe that its gone so I come out. The moment I step out and sigh the creature comes bursting through the door knocking it off its hinges. This being was about 8 feet tall; it had very sharp nails with arms about as long as my body. It had piercing black eyes, a very muscular body and a tail with barbs. It looked around the room snarling with blood coming out its mouth filled with razor sharp teeth. It doesn't notice me it seems that its blind. I freeze while holding my breath and it eventually starts walking away. Just as its about to leave the door, my iPod glitches and starts randomly playing very loud music and the creature immediately spins around and shoots my way.

I narrowly dodge him and roll to the side. He flies at me again and I duck. He lands on a desk and the desk collapses. I take this opportunity and grab the metal leg of the desk it broke and put the now serrated edge in front of me to defend myself. It flies at me once more but it’s met with a whack to the head from the desk leg I have. But it seems unaffected and lands on me. It raises its hand and as it’s about to swing its claws down we both hear a loud hissing from about 30 feet outside the room. It turns its head in the direction and then leaves the room through the window.

I’m scared, I’m confused. What could possibly have scared it off. Well I didn't want to stick around and find out. I remembered that the custodians used to use this lift to put up decorations on the gyms ceiling so I decided to head to the large storage room to look for it. This is what I would need for my escape of this hell hole.

I grab my new weapon and head out the emergency exit the classroom has. I have an injury on my chest from that "thing" digging its claws into me when holding me down. I quickly huddle out the exit and find the nearest bathroom and disinfected my wound with the soap. I cursed silently. I made myself a makeshift bandage with the toilet paper in the room.

After getting fixed up I head to the custodians room, the door is blocked off buy a tipped over vending machine. I’m forced to grab the nearby security cart and I push the vending machine away causing its contents to spill out. I grab a soda and drink to regain strength and think over my plan. I know what I’m going to do.

I go inside the custodians office and I see the lift. I notice the garage door on the side of the office and try to find the controls. I climb up the stairs and encounter the room with the button to open the garage door. As I enter I hear a scratching noise, the same scratching noise I heard when I first encountered the beast. The scratch is trailing along the garage door. All of a sudden I hear a large ripping noise as the creature tears its way through the door. It looks up, crouches, and thrusts with a powerful leap to the second floor. It tilts its head and looks me in the eyes as it slowly walks towards me. It scratches its claws against the wall leaving marks. It then charges at me I jump away into the room with the button, it follows persistently. It attacks again and misses, hitting the button causing the door to open. I start making a run towards it. As a rush down the stairs I trip and roll down almost cutting myself with my own weapon. As I lay on my back trying to recuperate it jumps down the stairs and just as its about to land on me I raise my weapon and it pierces its forehead. It lays on top of me dead.

I roll it off me and lay there catching my breathe, when I look over its dead eyes are looking at me lazily. I get up and continue with my plans. Badly for me the desk leg i was using bent after the force of entering the creatures head and snapped so it’s now not very useable. I go into the closet and grab a broom and a toilet plunger. I broke off the heads of both so that I only have the wood. I took the serrated edge of the desks leg and used to fashion myself 2 spears. I held the broom spear in my hand and put the smaller plunger spear in my belt loop.

I get on the lift and drive it towards the wall on the east side of the campus. I’m breathing heavily anticipating something to mess up my plans but nothing seems to happen so I calm down. I arrive at the wall and start raising the lift as I’m about to reach the top. I hear hissing. I look behind me and now I know why the creature ran.

My eyes meet with this creature. It’s nearly identical to the last one with the exception of being bigger, stronger, and to my dismay. Having wings..

It flies up and taunts me as it flaps in front of me. It grabs the lift and pushes it and I almost fall off. It’s now or never. I climb off the lift and hop on the wall, I narrowly dodge the creatures strike and toss my spear down, I slide down the wall and push off and roll onto the street.

I’m on the ground so now it’s more fair game, though id hardly call this fight fair. I pick up my spear, the creature comes at me and I’m able to puncture its wing. It gets angry and grabs the spear, squeezes its fist, and snaps it half. I grab the plunger spear from my belt loop and await the creatures advance. It attempts to fly at me but due to its punctured wing it spirals and crashes. I run at it, jump on its back and attempt to stab it in the back of its head. It was as if I took a stick to iron because all I heard was a loud thud. It took no damage and shook me off it.

I huffed strongly analyzing the situation. There was nothing in my mind except taking this thing down. Then it clicked. It came at me and i dodged having its claw barely graze my cheek. I can see that he's reading my movements better. He lunges again but this time I jab the spear into the center of its eye sliding clean through its brain. Its body instantly shuts down.

I check my phone and its 1 pm. I try to call the police but I only hear an ominous dial tone. The streets are completely deserted; there are no signs of life. I take a small break and then I start sprinting home and I throw open the door. I scream "Mom?! Dad?!"

From their room I hear nails scratching on the wall.....
