Chapter One: New Boys at School

-Kayla-

Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Shut uuuupppp!" I yell sleepily. Beep! Beep! Beep! The alarm clock. I wail before opening my eyes. "I told you to shut up!" I scream. I walk downstairs, grab my dad's hammer and bash the doomed alarm clock, silencing the annoying noise. Contented, I slip under the clutches of sleep.

-2 Whole Hours Later-

"Kayla!" Someone yells, waking me from my lovely slumber…. Again.

"WHAT?!" I shout, kinda annoyed. My mum comes running up the stairs. "It's half eight! You have school in fifteen minutes!'

My jaw drops. School. I forgot.

"I'm coming!" I bolt downstairs, grab my schoolbag and books, launching out of the door.

Sighing, I begin the walk to school. Then I realise I haven't actually eaten anything. I look down at my watch, and nearly drop my books. "GAWD!" I yell, its already eight forty three! I start running hard toward the school, the familiar red gates finally coming into sight.

"Smile high school…" I murmur. Someone a long time ago came up with that crappy name. Two years ago, my friend crossed out the 'smile' on the sign and wrote 'creepy'.

Creepy High School. It sounds so cool, but really the building is really old and probably is home to rats. Oh wait, it is home to rats, and one rat is named Rebbeca.

The bell rings, and I run up to my first period class, IT. When I get there, I swiftly grab a seat next to my best friend, Lucy. Lucy is a great friend, and together we're both obsessed with creepypastas. The latest one being BEN Drowned. I told her BEN was coming to get her! Some really weird things have been happening recently. In case you didn't know, I'm a big gamer girl. Any game you name, I've probably played it. The legend of Zelda ones are my favourites.

"Hey," I smile at Lucy. She grins back.

"Hi! How's things going?"

I look at my computer screen. Something isn't right with it. The stupid thing is lagging so hard. Then two boys enter the room. I haven't seen them before. One is wearing a green shirt and jeans, and has dirty blonde hair with blue eyes.

The other is wearing a white hoodie, jeans and has longish black hair with ashy grey eyes. The teacher walks up to them. "Ah. You must be Jeff and Ben. Am I correct?"

The blonde haired boy nods. "Yes. I'm Ben and this is my brother, Jeff."

"Class!" Called the teacher. Lucy and I turned around and pretended we didn't know what was going on. "Yes?" chorused the class.

"There are two new boys joining us today. Please, introduce yourself and name one skill you have,"

The Jeff boy steps forward. "Hi, I'm Jeff and I am very good with carpentry. Knives are my thing."

He seemed kind of wary, by his tone. Then Ben stepped forward. "Hey, I'm Ben, and it's nice to meet y'all. I specialise in using computers and video games!"

Unlike Jeff, Ben is happy go lucky, and cocky at the same time. The sureness in his tone made me know that he was feeling okay, and pretty sure of himself.

The teacher smiled. "Jeff, sit beside Rebbeca. Ben, you go sit beside Kayla."

Ben walks over to me and sits down, hands flying across my keyboard for a few seconds, When he's happy, he logs on to his own computer. My jaw drops. He's fixed my laggy computer and it is now running on top speed.

"Thanks!" I smile. He stares at me before returning the smile.

"S'okay," he replies, "Anytime you need more electronical help, just ask. I'm pretty sure I can fix whatever it is,"

I stare at him. For the first time I have noticed the firmness in his eyes. Startled, I switch my eyes back to the computer screen.

"Sorry," He murmured at the end of the lesson. I just shake it off, telling him it's okay.

As I walk away, I could swear I hear him say.

"I would tell you, but some secrets are better off being kept,"
