The Janitor.

     Victoria was a popular girl at her school. Lots of friends, lots of enemies, always envied. She was a cheerleader and had perfect grades. She was flawless. It was just another ordinary day at her school. She went to all her classes and did well like usual and then returned home. The next day wasn’t so normal. It started normal but began to transform into everyone’s worst nightmare. When she arrived she noticed the janitor watching her from across the parking lot. “Haha, I bet he likes you!” Joked her best friend, Jenny. “Shut up!” She replied. The crosswalk light turned green and the continued across the street until they were on school grounds. When they both looked back up to see if the janitor was still watching her, he was gone. “What a creeper” said jenny. “I know, he has been like that for quite a while now but now he is a little bit more obvious…” They went into the cafeteria and sat with their friends and talked until the bell rang for first period. “Victoria has a new boyfriend!!!” joked jenny. “Omg shut up!” said Victoria as she playfully punched jenny’s shoulder. “Who is it?” “The janitor!” Laughs came bursting from the group. “Omg stop you…” right as she said that, she noticed someone looking in through the small window on the cafeteria door. “Umm…is that?” Everyone looked over at the door and noticed the creepy janitor watching Victoria. They all gasped and looked at each other and went to go look back at the door, but yet again…he had disappeared. “How creepy, you should tell someone.” “No, it’s probably nothing guys…just forget about it” The bell rang and they went their separate ways.

     “Today we are starting our mythology unit. The beginning of this unit is about werewolves.” The class gave a huge sigh all together. “Now now class, this is going to be a fun section!” “Why would we wanna learn about ugly, hairy men?” The class laughed. “Well jenny if you want to put it that way…its different from our usual lessons and I can guarantee you that this is going to be an exciting experience for all of you. Now open your books to page 678 and let’s get started on werewolves.” After a while of going on about stories of sightings and the history of werewolves, they got the part of the tale on how they don’t exist anymore. “…After being murdered by the humans in the past for being monsters, they went into hiding. Eventually it was believed that they died off and no longer exist. I can only imagine that if there is one left, they would want to breed and rise up be a part of this world like they used to be.” “Ew!” said the class and then the bell rang. They all fled the class.

     Victoria was on her way to her next class when she got stopped by the janitor. “Um, Hi!” Victoria looked up quickly and then gasped. “Hi…” “Listen…Um…someone spray painted this wall right here… could you help me out really quickly? Here hold this.” He handed her the used spray paint can and began to clean. “Oh wait here I need to get something…” He went around the corner, leaving Victoria alone. Just then, the principal came by and saw her holding the can and seeing the vandalism. “You…the…uh…why!?!” He ripped the can out of her hands and looked at her in disappointment. “No! The janitor asked…” He cut her off “No excuses! TO MY OFFICE NOW!” She slumped her head and marched to his office. After discussing the situation, she could not persuade him that she did nothing. He called the janitor to his office to see if this was true. “You called me?” “Yes come in. This young lady says that you left her there with a bottle of spray paint next to a spray painted wall?” “Um…no sir? I would never do that.” She gave him a dirty look. “That’s it missy, Detention for 3 weeks.” “BUT!...” “No buts! Now get to class.” She gave one last bad look to the janitor and then stomped out of the room. “I can’t believe it! I told you he was a creeper!” insisted jenny. “DUH! I know that. Just…why did he do that!?” “No idea…so you have detention after school today?” “Yeah, it sucks.” “Guess we will have to go to the mall another day…” The bell rang for final period and they went their separate ways again.
