IT REALY IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH
By Elissa Mawson
Chapter 1: School
Hi my name is Alice. Alice Matricks Doo. My name was invented by my dad. My mum died at child birth with me and my twin sister Shalissa. We have everything the same hair, eyes, nose and mouth. We take after our dad he has brown hair, brown eyes and his lips are the same as ours. We don't live with him as we live with aunty Soonie. Aunty Soonie is the nicest ever person in the world with blonde locks curled to her ears and bright red lipstick. She lets us do anything we want. And this is the story of how mine and Shalissa's life changed for the rest of eternity.
It all started on Monday 14th July 2100. It was my first day back at school. It was 12 days after Christmas. As me and Shalissa were walking to school the air around us was buzzing. In fact electrifying. Something was going to happen me and Shalissa could tell. Probably homework.
School Schumuck.
As we got to school all our mates were waiting for outside in our usual spot. We greeted each other and talked about Christmas and what we got. As we got into school the new head teacher made an announcement over the antennae.
"Would all year 8 students please make their way down to the hall? Thank you"
Shalissa said to me
" I bet it something boring."
We started to giggle. As we stepped into the hall Bob the fittest lad got up and walked to us. He was my boyfriend you see. Shalissa was always getting jealous of us two as she liked him as much as me apparently. He obviously wasn't interested in her as he slid his hand into mine.
"Morning" he said as we walked to join our friends.
"Do you know what this is about?" I questioned as we sat down. He didn't have time to reply as Mr Cattlefish started to talk to us.
"On 21st November our school is planning to take all year 8's to Rainstone for 4 days to stay overnight. To sleep in tents with your friend for only £20 as I doubt you will ever get this chance ever again please get your consent forms from Mrs Gomez. On this trip we will take a 20 mile walk through the forest, which will take us to Spookville as we will take a day trip there. You will be doing Science and Science experiments with swimming in the open sea. So if you can't swim 50 metres and confidently this isn't the trip for you. Any Questions?
Bob put up his hand. The only one in the hall all of the other students in the hall turned to stare at him. I felt anxious.
"Yes Mr Cuulen?" Asked Mr Cattlefish.
"Sir I'm not trying to spook anyone out but isn't there a ghost in science block where the bedrooms are who has murdered before?" replied Bob.
Everybody's heart stopped you could have heard a stone drop. (If someone had dropped one).
"No don't be silly!" Mr Cattlefish shouted through the silence. Everybody jumped and started breathing.
I whispered to Bob "How do you know about this ghost?"
"My uncle Zack went there as a young boy to help build it. As it was the last night of the build. All of it was complete just the tools needed to be kept safe over night so he volunteered to stay the night alone. The weather was horrible that night so he couldn't have the tent up so he slept in the science block round about midnight there was a thump behind my uncle's head. When he looked up there was a ghastly figure."
