Chapter 1: The "Horror" at School

Chapter 1: The “Horror” at School

Nadison’s POV

I rolled out of my bed then groggily clouted the alarm clock. I hate waking up this early! Well anyways, I showered, got dressed with my denim skirt, dark blue converse and graphic tee. I brushed my long auburn hair, put on a bit of mascara, lip balm and powder.

After locking my room, I headed downstairs. I found out that my parents had left early for work, and my brother had gone to school surprisingly. I got annoyed with myself. I am always tardy! I grabbed a granola bar, putting on my red hoodie, got my backpack and laptop then walked to school in a hurry.

I tightened my hoodie. It has been windy over the past days.

Alright, lemme introduce myself. My name is Nadison Rose Riley. You can call me Nads for short. For once, no one ever calls me “Rose”. Hmmm… Don’t know why.

If I would describe myself, I am just a regular girl, living my dreams. They say my eyes were my best features, they were shining emerald eyes with hints of hazel.

As I strolled hastily, I saw the woods, thickly covered with towering trees. We were not permitted to go there for a while, school authorities have told. Or else suspension would be the prize no matter what reason that you’ve to make. And you’ll find out later...

At school I quickly headed to class. I sat at my favorite spot, when Mrs. Stella Sanderson came. We were surprised to see her teary-eyed, she has been strict and serious in the past days.

“My dear students, today is the one-month death anniversary of Julia Barrymore…”

One of us began to cry; obviously it was one of Julia’s friends. She couldn’t hold back.

“….we shouldn’t let that....D- Damn murderer win!” Mrs. Sanderson continued.

“He already won..”  Mitch sarcastically whispered to me. I nudged him.

“God bless all of you students… No one is allowed to go to that goddamn forest!” the teacher added.

Well, still no one knows who the murderer is. But I knew some of the details of the news and it’s a little bit disturbing. Julia was found impaled to a big and thick branch of a tree in the woods; some believed it was very impossible for a murderer to do that. No one bullies her and she has a very good and perfect life. But I tried my best to write this article for our school paper.

Hell, I am unbelievably, the Editor-in-Chief. Which is the best but at the same time the worst job ever. -_-"

After classes have ended, I went to meet Amber Allison, my bestie who's waiting at the hallway. She's known for her fair complexion, hazel- emerald eyes exactly like mine, long curly brown hair, tall height, and slim body. Her height made me insecure. We were often both described as twins because of our nearly same features; the big difference is our height. Well, maybe that's why were besties. XD

“Hey Nads!” she smiled. “Wanna go shopping after school?”

“Umm, sorry, I have some school paper work to do”.

“Oh God! Nadison Rose Riley! Look at those eye bags! I think you should take a break and go to the spa with me!”

Amber flaunted her hair.

“I can't for the 2nd time. Plus our layout artist is such a pain in the neck, and I would even take his place in doing his job!”

“Aww, poor you! Oh well, I will go then without you!  See yah best!” she fled.

I felt miserable, I have piles and piles of work to do! I saw the president of the student council, Chelsea with his boyfriend, Harry.  They gleefully went near me.

“Hey Nadison! Don’t forget that article of me helping those poor little uneducated kids! I should be recognized for that!”

“Sure Chelsea, I would put it on the front page if you like.” I hastily retorted, so she would stop chatting.

“Definitely!! Bye!” She and Harry excitedly ran through the exit doors.

God! My job is the hardest! I think it’s even harder than the student council president!

I went to the school paper office to work for the articles. I expected to see at least few of my staffers working in there but all I saw was my adviser, Mrs. Geraldine Clayton.

“I am sorry dear; the others said that they would help later, I am afraid the deadline is coming…”

“Don’t worry ma’am, I will… do it myself” I cut her off softly as I brought out my laptop.

“Thank you so much Nadison, but sorry, I have to go to my daughter’s birthday party. Is it okay if I would leave you here?”

“Ummm, alright Ma’am.” I cautiously said.

My adviser thanked me once more, got her things and left.

Sigh.

I sat at the office desk near the window revealing a big spot of dark swaying trees, obviously part of the woods.

I opened my laptop, cracked my notepad and started to type.

After I was done with my feature article and some news articles, I glanced at the time.

8:05 PM

Damn.

Mom and Dad knew I can work this late. Sometimes, they wouldn’t actually nag and shout at me, when I’ll get home late. I just made sure to notify them.

Anyways it’s just a walk from school to home. They’re already used to it. But for now it’s a bit creepy because I am all alone in this goddamn office at school, late at night! I am used to be with my school adviser every night!

Hmm… wait, where the heck is that article of Chelsea? I scrolled roughly through the files. Yes, there are tons of articles to retrieve for just one. Where? Where the heck is it?!

Abruptly, my laptop’s screen began to static and shut off. I peered nervously at my Mac, praying that I wasn’t going to have to buy a new one, plus most of the school paper’s files are in there! Oh my God! Please… I am going to be dead for this.

Unexpectedly, I caught a speck of white from the right side of my eye. Pure horror began to flood through me. I slowly turned to the window and caught a sight of…..
