Jake and Ava found the box behind the library after they finished working on their history project. The box did not look like the simple brown cardboard structure you saw every day. No, this was a different box. The kind of box that no one imagines when they hear the word "box". It gave the two treanagers a sense of uneasy curiosity…. It was a circular box, with duct tape keeping it shut. "What is this? '' said Ava. Jake looked up At her, "I know as much as you." They had found the box way in the back of the library, inside the ceiling where there was a loose panel, they were looking for a book to write on, to use as a clipboard,they both heard a bang right above their heads, they both jumped and looked up seeing the loose panel, they talked it over knowing, that this is how most horror movies started, in the end the pair decided that Jake would get a stool and reach up to the top because he was taller then Ava and even with the stool she could not completely reach inside, so Jake would do it. He reached up to the top and lifted the panel, and stuck his hand in,he felt around until he touched a box. That was 20 minutes ago, and they had been debating with themselves whether or not they were gonna open it. Ava spoke, " well what if we just peek in, we won't look too long, then we will just put it back, Okay?" Jake thought about it but then hesitated, "I don't think we should, let's just get back to work we only have a little bit left to do. And there's only 15 minutes left." Ava smoked and loudly spoke, "EXACTLY WHY WE SHOULD OPEN IT! " Shhhhhh someone's gonna here you!" Ava ignored him "There still 15 minutes and we only have a little bit of work left, will open it then move on. Come on…" Jake said nothing. "Well I'm opening it." She reached out for the box. Then Jake said, "OKAY OKAY FINE!" A smile sprung across Ava's face. "I knew you couldn't resist!" Okay, but let's do it quick!" Ava started to unravel the tape, when almost immediately the school librarian appeared behind the two with an almost happy mischievous look on her face.
