Why Me?

Chapter 3

Back to school

That morning my mom walked into my room and said "time for school!"
Which confused me because it was only my second day here. But then she said " just because you have only been in this neighborhood, house, and this new life for a day doesn't mean you don't have to go to school still. Now get up, come on, let's go."

And finally after about five times of her bothering me I finally got up. I went downstairs and had some oatmeal for breakfast. Then I got dressed in my brain of school outfit skinny jeans, and a new Vans shirt with some brand new black vans. I was so excited to wear them but I still want didn't want to get up and go to school. But I have no choice. So I put on my brand new clothes, brush my teeth, did my hair, and then I was out the door.
                    ...........

When I got to my new Middle School, I looked up my first period to find my way with out any problems. But on my way there I bumped into this boy and girl who were talking. The girl dropped her books on anarts,d of course I went down to help her. She looks very frustrated but of course I had to be nice and make friends on the first day. So I looked up at her and said, "sorry I didn't see you there. I'm Matthias. What's your guy's names?"

She looked a little confused, but I at least had to try to make friends. Then she looks down at me right as I picked up her last book and said, " hi I'm Melanie and this is my friend Jacob. Are you new here?"

"Yeah I just moved in. I got suspended for my old school for setting a trash can on fire. But you know that's all in the past." I replied

"So where's  your first period Matthias?" Jacob asked.

" I have to go to science. Do you know where Miss Johnsons classes?"

"Yes" said Melanie "we'll take you to it it's room number 219, Just follow us."

So I did that whole way there they start asking me why I let the trash can on fire of course I didn't have any reasonable answers especially since I didn't know myself. So I just kept on answering with because  and well I just kind of felt like it, stuff like that. But they didn't mind me using little use of explanation.

When I got to science, the first thing they had me do was stand up and introduce myself. Which I hate when teachers make me do that. But apparently in the school they do it a lot, so I guess I'm just going to have to get used to it. In science we were learning about cells which is my worst subject in science. Next I had language arts With mr. Nelson. He also have me stand in front of the class and tell who I am. But  I fell asleep halfway through his class I think I learned a lot more than I would have, been my old school. Then choir and after that I have theater. Then it was lunch.

I saw Melanie and Jacob sitting at a big table so I walked over there after I got my lunch of pizza with its bright red sauce and yellow cheese, which actually looks a lot better than my last schools. And actually looks like real food. Once I got there Jacob and Melanie waved and said in unison," High Matthias how was the first half day of school?"

" it was fine I guess, well as good as any day of school would be really. But what's up with all the teachers having you stand up at the front of the room?" I replied

" I don't know that's just how they do it at the school. All the students hate it, but it's kind of a requirement now." Said Melanie.

I sat down and started eating. It was one of the best pizzas I ever had, it tasted Gourmet. But with one of my last bites Jacob asked, "so which house did you move into?"

The new one on Oak Lane. My mom says that she got it for cheap. That's the only reason why I were living here. But I wish that I can go back to my old neighborhood. Not that you guys aren't fun or anything. It's just that I like how my life was before." I replied.

"No offense taken but, what's your house number?" Melanie said with a very concerned look in her eyes.

"I don't remember I think that it was 1. 7. 0. 4 if I remember right."

" I think I know why your family got that house that cheap! There was a bunch of stories about a bunch of children that have gone missing in the house. All the sudden they hear a screeching sound the next minute they're gone. Only one person has gone out but they haven't been able to talk sense. They moved about 2 years ago and no one has moved in sense." Melanie said.

"oh yeah I remember hearing some of those stories!" Jacob said, " but I thought those were all just fake!"

" have you heard any noises like that Matthias?" Melanie asked

" yeah me and my sister both. But our mom wouldn't believe us so we just have to keep on living your life there until we die apparently. Or get stolen!" I said.

tell us everything that happened and maybe we can help you find what's going on with your house. There might be something in there that's out of the ordinary or it might just be a bunch of folk tales of kids running away because they heard scary noises. But maybe not!" Jacob said

"Wait a second you think my house is haunt-" but before I could finish Melanie interrupted me saying, "  tell us anything extraterrestrial that has happened in your house so far. It might depend on yours and your sisters life."
