It was 2:03 when I read the clock. I was in math class waiting for the bell to ring, it was one of the hottest days in July. Everybody was drowning in sweat complaining that it was too hot. Finally the bell had rung and we could go home, but I wasn't going home, I was going to explore the basement of the school. I had heard the history of the basement and did research of my own on the school. I found a website that said Miller Academy  had a history of putting kids in the basement when they wouldn't listen to instructions. I hadn't seen anything like that occur yet, and I hoped it wouldn't.
    On my way out the door my math teacher called out to me, "Hey, Veronica!"
"Yes?" I said in an exhausted tone.
"Are you going to the college fair this Friday?" I wanted to say no but I was going to college soon, and I hadn't picked the college I wanted to go to yet.
"Yes, I'm going." knowing that I probably wouldn't even go, but I didn't want to let Mr. Lofer down, because he wanted me to be the best I could be.
    When I walked out of the door I made sure that it didn't close all the way. I knew everybody was gone because it was pitch black in the school. I pulled my phone out of my pocket to turn the flashlight on. After putting my bookbag in my home room I made my way to the basement.
   Half way down the last flight of stairs I heard heavy footsteps, out of a reaction I ran down the stairs to hide. I turned the corner to hide in the corner but I ran into someone who had a slim figure. As I was trying to make out who it was, I was grabbed and knocked out cold.
