S1 P1: The Yeller

 *BRinnnggg* The bell rings and everybody rushes out of class. As I walk out of class, Mr.Rauchter, the history teacher stops me.

 "Hey, Jason, come here for a sec." I walk over reluctantly.

"Hey Mr.Rauchter, what's up."

"Is something going on at home? I'm asking 'cause your constantly sleeping in my class and it's very disturbing to the other students."

"Oh..." Honestly I didn't even realize I slept in his class. I just thought time went faster in his class or something. I'm always tired though, it's nothing new when the teachers wake me up. But it's not like stuff is going on at home.

"Um, no nothing is going on at home. Sorry for disturbing your class sir."

"Well ok, you can leave now. I'll see you tomorrow, awake?"

"Yes, sir", I walk out the class and my friend Luke scares me.

"Boo!"

"Dude!"

He laughs. "What was that all about? What did you guys talk about?" 

"Stop being nosey." I say as I speed walk down the hall. Luke runs to catch up with me.

"Whatever. Are you still coming with us tonight? I know you can sneak out so don't even use that excuse. Your mom is barely home."

"Ok, I'll be there tonight Luke." I say irritated. Luke is the youngest and most annoying in the group. He's in 7th grade while were all in 8th. He was so happy he almost cried when we started hanging out with him. Including me, there's 5 of us. There's Luke, Me, Troy, Valarie, and Eric. Speaking of them, as I walk out the front doors of Stephens Middle School, they were all there.

"Jay what took you so long?!" Val exclaims. She's always mad.

"Jay got in trouble by Mr.Rauchter so he had to stay after class! Ha ha ha!", laughs Luke. 

"Well he was sleep the whole time when Mr.Rauchter was talking", says Eric while reading. Eric is always reading. There is never a time he isn't reading. Hell he can read and take shower at the same time if he wanted to! That's why I was surprised when he said he'll sneak out with us tonight.

"Well here I got your skateboard for you", says Troy as he hands it to me. I'd totally forgotten about it. My head was really somewhere else today.

"Oh thanks man I didn't even realized I left it!"

"No problem"

"Ugh can we get going now I really want to see what everyone is talking about", Val whines. Ok, the reason were all sneaking out is because there has been sayings going around about somebody or something going around in the woods near Clear Fork Creek and yelling peoples names. Some people I know have heard they're name yelled and bad stuff starts happening to them. For example, I was talking to my mom's friends son and he told me he heard his name yelled when he was out throwing stones in the Creek. When he walked towards the yelling there was nothing there. The next day, his mom's car breaks down and his dog goes missing. I know it doesn't sound like much but still, pretty creepy if you ask me.

You might be asking why are we doing this. Well because the police aren't doing much about it. All they've done was sent out warnings on the newspapers saying, "Beware of the Yeller!".

Like that's going to do something.

So our group decided to take the situation in our on hands. Were not going to do much. We'll just walk around until we hear somebody yelling names. It might just be some crazy junkie for all we know. 

Anyway, let's find out.
