"Maverick! Maverick!"

I started running and running into the hallway of the school. The voice kept growing and growing

"Maverick! Oh Maverick!"

I didn't stopped running even if my feet hurts. I turned at the next hallway and entered the bathroom, I locked the door and leaned my back at the wall, I slid my body down until my knees meets my forehead.

I wrapped my arms around my knees and bowed my head

"Come out, Maverick!"

The footsteps became louder and louder until it stops at the door. Everything became silent, calm, and for a moment... safe.

I stood at the front of the door and leaned my ear at the wood, nothing, I hear nothing. I didn't opened the door but I stood there, terrified.

After a few minutes, the footsteps came back, and this time it sounded like it's near me. I slowly backed away from the door and panted in fear.

The lights in the bathroom flickered, I widen my eyes and cold chills at my spine took over

"Maverick?"

I slowly turned around, nothing. Then someone jumped over me and knocked me at the floor, I can't see his face, it's dark, it's cold. He raised his knife up and as he stabbed me...

Our teacher was standing over my head while his arms are crossed

"How was your dream, Maverick?"

I was lying on the floor while my classmates are laughing at me

"C'mon Maverick, I know history is boring but at least try not to sleep. Alright! Back to the topic!"

He turned around and walked towards the board, I sat on my chair while Bernard pat my back, I turn my head

"What happened?"

He smiled

"Dude, you just fell on your desk while you're sleeping!"
"But I don't remember..."

I look at the pages of my notes

"...sleeping"

There are scribbles on it. The pages of my notes are scribbled with pencil marks, I took out my eraser and tried using it, but it didn't worked. I tried using my correction tape, but still... no use, it won't stick.

I turned my head and showed Bernard my notebook

"Wow... amazing... you can scribble"

I took my eraser

"No, not that!"

I showed him my eraser

"Look"

I laid my eraser at the page, and as I erase the pencil marks, it worked. I looked at my notebook

"It... worked?"

Bernard raises his eyebrow

"Of course it will! It's a pencil mark and you are using an eraser"
"But when I tried it awhile ago it didn't worked!"

Mr. Clint called my name

"Maverick! Awhile ago you were sleeping and fell on the floor, and now you're talking with Bernard?"

He slammed his hands on the desk

"You might as well want to go out and stand at the hall?"

I slowly stood up while being humiliated in front of the whole class, I took my notebook

"I didn't told you to draw while you're outside, leave everything at your desk and stand outside"
"Yes sir"

At the hallway

I sat beside the entrance door of the classroom while suddenly, a loud bang from the locker filled the hall, I stood up and slowly walked towards the other corner of the hallway

"Hello?"
"Bang!"

Then silence. I ran towards the other corner but no one was there, only me and the empty hallway filled with lockers

"Bang!"

Then I turned around, no one. I walk towards the lockers and one of it was releasing blood from its sides. I slowly touch the handle and slowly... I opened it... A dead boy dismembered, I fell on the ground

"AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

Outside the school

Police and ambulance are filling the street, the principal and the teachers were talking to the police, while the body was being put inside the ambulance.

I sat at the bench and placed my hands above my head, thinking of what just happened, I bowed. Bernard sat beside me

"Dude, what happened?"

I stare at the ground

"I didn't do anything... I swear... I just found the locker bleeding and when I open it..."

I looked at him

"The body fell on the ground... his arms, feet, legs... and head"

Bernard stood up and pat my shoulder

"I think you should head back home, try to get some sleep"

He placed his bag at his back

"C'mon, I'll accompany you"

I look at him

"Thanks man"
