CYNTHIA AND ZEV: Solve the Mystery of the Boarding School Ghost

CHAPTER 3

I was sleeping comfortably in bed when the door opened. The creaking voice from the door irritated me, however, I ignored it as best as I could. Suddenly, I was being shaken violently causing me to rise from my slumber. I groaned in misery as nurse Nicole spoke, "Wake up Cynthia. Time for school."

"Hmm, there is not a school for miles." I replied. I covered myself with a blanket and went back to sleep. Nurse Nicole ripped the blanket of my body leaving me with a cold , shivering body. The morning had a chilly feeling with furious sunlight that burned my body. Feeling the hot sun rays on my cold body, I jumped out of bed.

"Oh good, you're finally out of bed. Get dressed." Nicole demanded.

"Is there really a school? Or are you just wanting to make my life miserable?" I questioned Nicole. She raised an eyebrow at me. She looked confused and I sighed. "Fine. but if you woke me up for no reason at all, I'll stop talking to you."

"Well then, I'll bring many topics for us to talk about then.'' Nicole replied with a smile.

"When you finish getting dressed, wait for the door to open. Further instruction will be given." she says.

"Alright." I responded.

Nicole left short after. After getting ready. I combed my hair into a french braid and tied it in my mothers red ribbon. Suddenly, the iron door creaked open in a loud manner. Exiting my room, I saw other girls. I couldn't believe it, other girls around my age, although there were some who looked older and younger. Once the other girls started to form a line, I hurried to find a spot. In a line, everyone headed towards the lengthy hallway; afterwards we walked down four flights of stairs until we exited the building through the large yellow door. Then, everyone took a fifteen minute walk from the building to a larger, house building structure. Afterwards, we entered the house structure and walked straight down the hallway; From there, we arrived at the classroom. Standing in a line, in front of a woman, were a line of boys. Standing still, next to the boys, the lady started to speak.

"Good Morning students." The lady greeted with a warm smile and gentle voice.

"Good morning Ms. Brianna." Everyone greeted Ms. Brianna.

"Well, why don't you all look at that? All students neatly dressed and accounted for. Everyone gets a gold star. Let's enter the class shall we?" Ms. Brianna cherry remarked

"Yes Ms. Brianna." Everyone responded.

Inside is a very large area filled with a thousand desks and chairs, however, there are only a few students. There were three fans in the classroom; one in front of the class, one behind the class on the right side and the last one by the left corner of the class. The left side of the class had windows. There were three large lockers behind the classroom. Also, there was a large air conditioner in the classroom with a sign saying "out of order." Oh man. I wanted some ac to cool down the classroom. It felt hot like an oven. The students and I are baking like turkey in hundred and forty degrees. Some students were fanning themselves with their hands until a girl turned on the fan. The fan made a loud generator sound. The sound of my classmates was overruled by the sound of the fan.

"New students, stand in front of the class please." Ms. Brianna announced.

I barely heard Ms. Brianna speak with the loud fan on. A boy took my hand and brought me in front of the class at the same time someone took off the fan. Standing in front of everyone, I was very nervous. I started sweating purposely and my teeth chattered as if the temperature was cold. A boy stood next to me and handed me a napkin from his pocket. The boy is two inches taller than me with curly, long messy hair in an emo style that is black with brown highlights. He has blue eyes and is extremely fair skinned. Despite his hair being messy, he is well dressed in a gray shirt tucked inside his black pants and black shoes.
