Hi…

I'm back with a ghost story!

This will have a second chapter if my friends 'advice' me about something.

Most of the stories are from my friend, Sok min, who has the third eye.

This would be scary…

This story will be updated as soon as possible.

"Hey, since we are all here, how about a ghost story telling competition?" said Naruto.

"Fine…" The rest of them answered in unison.

It was during the December holidays when Naruto invited the rest of the gang to his home for a party.

His gang included:

1) Sasuke

2) Sakura

3) Ino

4) Kiba

5) Chouji

6) Tenten

7) Hinata

8) Shikamaru

9) Shino

10) Lee

And they were sitting like these around a circle table:

Tenten-Ino-Sasuke-Sakura-Naruto-Hinata-Kiba-Chouji-Shikamaru-Shino-Rock lee

Naruto then declared," Okay, I'm gonna start first, then followed by Hinata, Kiba, Chouji, Shikamaru, Shino, Lee, Tenten, Ino, Sasuke and finally, Sakura."

Minutes elapsed and finally, the rules are made and discussed before all of them agreed with them.

Rules:

-Nobody is allowed to repeat any stories that are being mentioned by someone. If found guilty of cheating, the person will be fined and the money will be used to treat us to some Ramen (you can guess who said this rule now, right?)

-No sound effects are allowed

-If you want to get out of this competition, you will have to do a dance for us after the competition.

"OK, time for our long awaited competition to begin! Drum roll please!"

Which nobody did.

"Ghost telling competition begins…. Now!"

And with that, Naruto begin with his story.

A few years back, a school organized this day long hike, compulsory to all students. They were supposed to be there at 12 noon, and leave the place by sundown, 7pm. This event was also organized in such a way that each class was divided into half, and each half went on different days. This arrangement was made to allow form teachers to take care of a small group of students only, to ensure maximum safety for all.

Class 3A set off on Monday and Tuesday. Maki was the form teacher of 3C, and he was supposed to take his group of 15 on Friday.

While they were there, they were enjoying the serenity and picturesque view of the surroundings. A few hours passed, and the sun began to disappear below the horizon.

Before they stepped on the ferry back to school, Maki did a head count for his group. Maki counted to 14, but the 15th person was nowhere to be found. Maki panicked, and he recounted, but there were still 14 people in the group. It was then he realized that Kendrick was nowhere in sight. None of the other 14 students also realized that Kendrick was missing, or saw him disappear anywhere during the trip, as he was the only one without a partner. Experated, they left the area first, and Maki returned later with a group of teachers to search for Kendrick.

They hunted the area till 3am with the help of police officers, but still to no avail. Finally, they surrendered and returned home, feeling worn out.

The next year, the same event was organized. This time, Maki was to take the 2nd half of class 3H (10 people) for the hike. It was the final class of the level.

The hike proceeded uneventfully, this time with him keeping extra precaution on the students. It was soon sundown again, and Maki did a head count before allowing the children to board the ferry. This time, he counted to 11. Thinking that someone was playing a fool, Maki got angry and shouted at them, reminding them about the missing person the year before. He counted again, but still got to 11. The last person in the far end of the row was standing with his head bowed down, and was a distance away from the 10th person. He did not seem to be with us when we arrived at the camp, but he was wearing our school's uniform. Feeling a chill run down his spine, Maki went up to him to find out who this funny fellow was. When he approached him, the surrounding air felt cold. He looked up slowly with downcast, lifeless eyes, and said in a low voice "He…llo...Mr... Chan...Why...Did….you…leave…me…behind…?"

It was Kendrick, the missing person from 3C the year before. His badly decomposed body was later found in a waterlogged swamp, stuck beneath a huge fallen tree trunk. It seemed that he fell in and drowned while they were having their lunch break during the previous year.

I hope that this did not scare anyone of you.

If yes, then I got to say sorry.
