Here's a story, that WE should've done ...
A game that WE had never been played...
Few people are so lucky to get back to their own world ...
a few days later ...
I used to live in a Happy, peaceful town , there are prep schools, high schools, universities and factories with huge buildings everywhere . Citizens from another country used to come here often every summer 'cause of the beauty of our beach .
I am junior in Westville high school, i'm not much popular there, but i'm used to it . I'm just a normal boy with 2 of my bestfriends I've known since elementary, Claire and Justin .
"What zup? Brother..."said Justin, as he showed up in my locker after my class in biology .
"Oh, I'm great . Just packing few of my things ..." I said to him.
"Where's claire?"
"She's in the computer lab . Researching stuffs... U know .."
"Let's visit her . Come on!"
As we made it to the lab, we saw Claire standing near the printer machine, She sort of excited . Then she looked at us told us to come in .
We went inside and asked her what was she printing ...
"Guys, this makes me so interesting . Here, read it ."
She lend me the paper ...
"Another world?" I asked her .
"it's said that this is a japanese paranormal game . You do this in an elevator but only u, alone... will do it . This game take u to another world ."
"Well, does it work?" Justin asked .
"Well... Few people tried it but they never got back in our world and few of them managed to get back ."
"That's creepy, Claire . Don't even think about trying it ." I said to her, in a worrying way .
"How will we know if it really work without even trying ." Claire said to me .seems like she wanna do it .
"I'll try it ." Justin said in an excitement .
"Are you crazy??? No. You will not do it ." I said in frustration .
"Come on, Kevin . It'll be fun ." Justin replied .
"Okay, Justin . If you really wanna do it, Here's the copy ... Here's also urs, Kevin ..."
Claire gave each of us the copy. I wasn't gonna accept it at first, but I took it just in case something happens to them.
"We better get home by now ." I said .
"You're right . Okay, gotta go . Bye ." Justin said in a rush and quikly went out of the computer lab .
I already got home by now and went up to my room . I was beginning to worry for Justin . What if he really do it ? What if he never get it back in our own world?
After dinner, I tried to call Justin but he won't answer . I keep trying to contact him, but still he won't answer . Now, I was beginning to worry so I called Claire .
(In phone)
"Hello?"
"Claire... I think something happened to Justin ... Did he said something to you?"
"Oh, he said an earlier, that he's at the mall . And he is doing the game ..."
"What???"
"He still won't reply after his last txt... here, i'll forward it to you."
"Why is it dark here? And why am I the only one here? ..."
"Let's meet up in that mall ... We'll do it ."
"See u there in 10 minutes . Bye ."
After our conversation, I took out the paper from my bag and I started reading the instructions and memorizing it ...
We meet up at the mall and I let myself in the elevator aloNe, Although she'll be following me afterwards ...
As i got on the elevator, I took a deep breath and pressed 4th floor , then 2nd floor, 6th floor, 2nd floor and 10th floor. When i arrived on the 10th floor, I pressed the button for the 5th floor and when I got there , the elevator door opened and a young woman appeared and got on the elevator with me . I know it's part of the ritual and I remembered that I mustn't talk to her .
When she got on board, I pressed the button "1st floor". this is the final step . And I was now going to the another world . The eLevator was not going down instead, it was going up ...
