Hello, have you ever been to college? If you have, wait till you here the rest of it. Every body feels like college is awesome, maybe better than high school. Some thinks it's just a continuation of misery they had in high school.

It's my first year in college and I'm about to meet my room mate for the rest of the semester. The room is a bit small and dusty. Since I was the first to arrive, I fixed everything to my liking. Unexpectedly a book fell from my box. It was covered in dust and filth. I wiped the dirt and dust surrounding the book.

It was an odd looking book, symbols of unknown things in the front cover with a locket on its side. More peculiar about the book is its color. Dark and bloody red. I was figuring out how to open the lock. Suddenly I heard voices in my head murmuring as if they wanted me to open it.....

*knock knock

(The book falls to the ground)

"Who is it?"

"Your room mate bro!"

I opened the door and he fist bump my hand as he dropped his things next to his side of the room. "Nice thing you have going here"

"Yeah, well I decided to clean things since I have nothing else to do"

"Nice"

I was looking for the book and it was gone. Then I asked my new room mate if he saw something
"No bro, I haven't seen anything since I dropped my things here"

"Maybe I'm just imagining things"

"What did you say bro?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about my first class"

"Don't worry dude, it'll be fine"

After I finished all my class later that afternoon

"Hey Josh! Wanna hang out with us?"

Suddenly my head was trembling in pain. Find the book voices kept on telling me to find the book. That's why I had to refuse their offer.

"Maybe next time."

I walked as fast as I could back to my room.

There it was! The red book .....

Next to it was the key

I took the key and tried to insert it in the lock, slowly I turned it .......

(The door opened)

"Yo!!"

That scared me, dropping the key

"Knock first! Next time alright?"

"Chill, why so tense man"

The book once again disappeared. Maybe tomorrow, I should check this phenomenal happenings in the library


The next morning.....

The school paper had some shocking stories. A group of friends found dead at the students park. Who would do such a thing. Then my head hurt as if I was slapped in the face. I hurried to the library and check those mystical books.

In the end, I found nothing. So I went back to my dorm.

For the past days, I became so anxious about the book and couldn't think clearly. My grades were starting to fall. Then I went to the bathroom.
