A story by Kaitlin
Thanks for reading my books!
************************************************************************************************************
When I woke up, I saw the bright sunbeam shining through the gap between my violet curtains, that my mother had made. I reached over my bedside table to get my alarm clock, but then my dad came running up the stairs as quick as a flash.
"You're late for school!" he shouted.
"What? Really?" I leapt out of bed and turned around to look at the clock. "Oh my word! Nine o'clock!"
Just then I bolted downstairs, (faster than my dad ran up the stairs) and then fetched my school clothes. Once I was dressed, I combed my hair and put my school badge on, with the words SIPANY HIGH SCHOOL written on it. For my school uniform I wore a short skirt with tights, a polo shirt and a tie. We weren't even allowed to wear earings or make-up! That's what every teenager wants to wear. So unfair! Our head mistress is so horrible. She tells you to come to her office, even when you do nothing! Anyway, back to what was happening.
So, yeah, I combed my hair, put my school badge on and then put my things in my school bag. I spent half-an-hour curling my hair, and finally, walked to school. Once I was there, I opened my locker to get my study books. Then my friends arrived, (they're always late for school) and were eager to tell me some juicy gossip, again.
"Hey, Mal, guess what?" Began Jenna.
"What now....?"
"I found a note in my locker, saying 'Will you ever stop being cool?'" she answered.
"Who do you think it's from?" asked Jessica.
"I have no idea..."
"Well, sooner or later I will -" Jenna got interuppted by the bell ringing, thankfully.
People starting heading to class, so I followed on shortly after. Which lesson was I supposed to go to? Oh, wait, yes I know, French class. I forgot my French book, so I quickly went to get it from my locker. When I turned back around, the cue was gone, so I headed straight for the door. For some strange reason it was locked. Who knows? So then I tried the other door. Locked too. And then I looked around me, and found some boys running up to me. One of them flung their own locker door open, and then shoved me inside! They locked it up, and I heard them all chuckling on their way back to class. What am I supposed to do? It is so dark in here, and I can't see anything. It is so hard to breath, with just the rectangular holes at the top of the door. Banging on the door with my fist, I began to yell:
"Help!"... "Please, someone"... "I can't get out!"
No use. Nobody was around. I put my back against the back of the locker and slid down it to sit. Tears started streaming down my cheeks. I looked around me for anything to help me get out. All there were was a black bag, papers and a jar of........ something. First, I checked in the black bag. There was a key, (I am guessing to his house) an earing - although I thought we weren't allowed those - and a coin. But suddenly, I found a little box with a keyhole. Now I know what the key is for. Opening the box, I lifted the lid and there was a peice of paper and a torch inside. I shone the torch on the peice of paper and there was writing that read:
Dear Mallory,
If you want to get out of this loker, (his spelling isn't the best) well........ you won't be able to. Becoz I'm not unloking it. So good luk, (not) with escaping, but you know it's not going to happen.
I feel even worse now. Nothing could be more worse than staying in a dark place with virtually no air.
