It was a Tuesday night when the janitor drowned in the school pool. It was Wednesday morning when the gym coach was found hung by the basket ball net. Now it was Thursday afternoon in glee rehearsal, and the glee kids were gossiping about all the tragic deaths at school. Mercedes, Artie and Tina were huddled in a circle of chairs sharing their beliefs of what happened.
Mercedes-I mean how could he reach the net. Its so high.
Artie-Unless he had a ladder.
Tina-Yeah but what would possess a person to do that?
Artie-Think about it, being a gym coach for 35 years.
Tina-True...true.
Tina slowly continued to bite on her nails since all the deaths had been occurring and thinking anything could happen at any moment.
Rachel was sitting in front of them jamming her right ear into Finn's arm trying to block out the sound of their conversation. Finn was actually curious about the deaths himself. So he flipped himself around and joined in.
Finn-What do you think caused him to drown?
Rachel-Finn! This is deplorable and revolting to even be gossiping about the happenings of unconscious employees.
Kurt-Face it Rachel. You know you wanna talk about this too. This is the most interesting thing that has ever occurred at McKinley.
Rachel-Please. I could be less interested. You guys are just gonna be caught up in some psychotic fantasy soon. Next thing you know you are in black leather suits staying up all night trying to discover what went on through their minds.
Kurt-Of course we won't. Who would ever wear black undercover, it's to predictable.
She turned around while rolling her eyes at his remark and Finn wondered if she was right just as Mr. Schue walked in.
Rachel- Mr. Schue, can you please explain to them how disturbing it is to be talking about these tragedies at school.
Mr. Schue-That's kind what I wanted to talk about. Just a couple of minutes ago in the hallway a Cheerio was slammed into her locker and twisted her neck.
Quinn-What?
Quinn blurted just as Santana was shocked as well and planted her hand on Quinn's arm.
Santana-Who?
-She had red highlights and olive sk-does it really matter?
Quinn-That's Shelby!
Santana-Crap, shes on top of our pyramid!
Mr. Schue-The thing is, is that no one pushed her and her neck moved in a way that only a human could position.
It was silent as ideas ran through their minds, until Finn spoke up.
Finn-So are you saying that its….a ghost.
Mr. Schue-Not much of a ghost but maybe a spirit.
Mercedes-Uhuh. If anything it's a demon.
Kurt-Why would a demon be haunting our school.
Tina-Duh, we have the most miserable teachers here. Divorced, single, trouble with their spouse. Which means a lot of negative energy.
Half of the room laughed.
Santana-Seriously most of the teachers whine all day about there social and marriage life. No offense Mr. Schue.
Mr. Schue-Well.
Quinn-This whole conversation is going nowhere, we can't go all out convincing ourselves that McKinley has some Casper ghost flying around!
Britanny- That's where you're wrong, Casper the ghost is friendly, he wouldnt cause this much damage.
Quinn buried her face into her palms as the other members slowly sighed about another one of Brittany's side comments.
Rachel-I agree can we not discuss how ridiculous this is sounding. We should spend more time focusing on the fact, that if we want to win Nationals this year, nothing can keep us from achieving each competition.
Mr. Schue-Fine. We wont talk about it anymore. Lets move on to our Glee assignment.
Rachel smiled and clapped happily but everybody was still curious about all this.
Rachel and Finn were in her living room watching Insidious on Friday night. Every second she would inch closer to the tv, when of course something startling would happen and she'd flip out.
Rachel-AHHHH! ITS THE GUY WITH THE RED FACE!
Finn actually enjoys watching scary movies with her cause he likes her reactions. Plus scared Rachel = cuddling with Finn.
Finn-Calm down this stuff isn't even real.
He'd stay stuff like that. knowing something would, and always ends up with a punch in the arm from Rachel.
Rachel-How do you know? Have you ever met these people.
Finn-Rachel...
Rachel-Have you been seeing things in your dreams, Finn?
Finn-Rachel, it's just a movie.
A sudden thought to him came and he narrowed his eyebrow while he glanced back at Rachel glued to the screen, shoving popcorn in her mouth.
Finn-What happened to, "This is deplorable, resenting-"
Rachel-Revolting.
Finn-Whatever, i thought you didn't believe in that stuff.
Rachel-Well a person is destined to change their minds about everything. Politics,dreams,opinions and in my case superstitions.
He stood up and took the DvD out.
Finn-Well than, no more for you. And I'm pretty sure you mean Paranormal.
Rachel-Finn! Ugh!
She got up and put the popcorn bowl on the counter. As much as she actually wanted to finish the movie a scary thought crossed her mind.
Rachel-Do you think think that...a ghost is haunting McKinley?
Rachel turned around and leaned against the island in her kitchen. Face to face with a confused Finn.
Finn-Well I always believed in the paranormal. And who knows what lies beneath the McKinley grounds.
Rachel was about to spill her words then she thought to herself. What was she thinking, was she out of her right mind. So quickly enough she wished she had never spoken her words and came out with a negative response to that.
Rachel-Well I for one don't think ghosts exist.
Finn-But you just-
Rachel-I changed my mind. Finn, you can believe in whatever you want to believe be serious Finn. You still believe in the Easter Bunny.
There was a pause whenever he leaned in closer and twitched his side to side, looking like he wanted to make sure no one heard him whisper to Rachel.
Finn-I swear he is real. I saw him.
She folded her arms and took a step back from Finn already getting frustrated.
Rachel-Where?
Finn-At the mall.
Rachel-So was Santa, but he's not real.
Finn frowned.
Finn-You can't prove that!
Rachel-I cant believe this.
She stood up and walked upstairs. Finn awkwardly stood there while Rachel slammed her door.
Finn-Wait, should I go home now?
He screamed up to Rachel and then her door opened and her head appeared over the ledge of the stair case.
Rachel-Yes!
Then she slammed her door shut thought this was just another one of those phases she had and suggested to himself to stay for an extra couple of minutes. She left her popcorn on the counter, and she usually snacks whenever shes depressed or angry. Finn was alone on the couch and waited silently for 5 minutes. Nothing had happened so he decided to leave. He headed towards the door, then the TV turned on. He turned around and saw the static screen.
Finn-Rachel?
All the sudden letters appeared on the screen in green font as the static had a faint beeping in the back round.
L-R-H-C-E-A
Rachel-What?
Finn-Is something wrong with your TV?
He could hear her footsteps rage down the steps. But as she reached the bottom the TV turned off.
Rachel-What are you talking about?
Finn's eyes widened in shock. He fumbled with his words as he kept pointing to the tv and Rachel could barely make out what he was trying to say.
Rachel-Speak clearly.
Finn-the screen..letters.
As his mumbling went on, she folded her arms and spoke in a agitated tone.
Rachel-Are you trying to scare me?
Finn-No.
Rachel-Ugh, go home Finn!
She ran back up and he immediately left the house.
