Is Ally real?

This is what filled my thoughts for the rest of yesterday, which was pretty normal, no strange warping, and best of all, no dead friends. I mean, Miya can see her, I can see her, and so I'm not the only one going crazy? Or maybe Mindy was screwing with my head, I mean she was sitting right fucking there, there was no one else sitting on the bench, man what the hell. Come to think about it, Mark never noticed here a week ago when I saw her in the hall staring at us. Know what? I don't think I've ever felt her, physically. No not felt her like that, I mean like brushed up against her or anything. Well next time I see her, I'll try to.

I havn't slept in 2 days, I can't sleep, I'm too damn afraid, afraid of nothing maybe. There is something going on, I don't know what for sure. There has got to be something going on within the school, it's the only place where these weird things are happening, so I decided to skip school today to pay a visit to the local library, and search around for any strange things that may have occurred at my school.

------------

Ok, I didn't find much of interest about my school after about 4 hours of looking through old newspapers. I only found 2 articles that seemed of any relevance, or even interesting. One was involving a group of kids that vandalized the school about 2 years ago, as part as some cult or something. There was a group of kids that wrote "weird satanic symbols" on the walls. The second article was the following article, those kids died mysteriously the day after the incident happened. Their bodies were found in a room in the school, and were ruled as a suicide. I don't remember this very well, because I was only a Freshman at the time, I didn't really care, but strangely no one cared that they died, some were even happy.

Well those are the only clues I have, I'm going to get to the bottom of this, I'm going to break into the school at night and have a more thorough look around.

I headed back home, as it was nearly the time when school was dismissed, I didn't want to get caught, but then again, my parents are never home, I probably saw them twice in the last month. But when ditching school, you gotta take those certain precautions

So I arrived home it was about 15 minutes after school ended for the day, so it would just seem that I went to school. There was a car in front of my house, as I drove past it, I noticed it was Mindy inside waiting for me.

"Hey!' she yelled after me, as I stepped out of the car. "Where were you today?"

"No where interesting", I replied, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible. Make sure not to show any signs of changing emotion.

"Oh..sorry" she responded, "I got kinda worried when you didn't show up during school today. I thought something happened to you too..."

"Oh.." now at this point, I was more concerned on how the fuck she knew where I lived. So I asked her and she said Mark had stopped by with her a few times, to see if I was home, apparently I never was. After that she started crying a little, not as much as before, but enough for someone to recognize it.

"You wanna come inside and sit down?" I asked, you know, trying to be a fucking gentleman and what not.

"No...no...it's ok" she answered, "I have to be leaving soon anyways, sorry about that, mentioning Mark still makes me kinda teary."

"Oh..." again this is all I really could think of saying at the time, I mean, hell I didn't want to say anything that might piss her off. "Speaking of Mark, did they ever find out the cause of his death?"

"No... they never did." She answered, "That's the strange thing, it had all the 'evidence' of a murder, something that mark would not be able to do to himself, but there was no evidence of struggle. Like he was willing to get killed. But that doesn't sound at all like Mark."

"Hmm....I think the school has something to do with Mark's death, and all the weird shit I've been seeing. I'm going to break into the school tonight, around midnight, and investigate, maybe I will find some of the secrets that the school holds."

"I will go with you," she said, which shocked me.

"You can't go, I don't want to have you involved." I answered, please stay behind"

"I can't" she retorted, "I want closure on Mark, I want to know what happened."

"Ok fine," I replied, knowing that there was no way I'm ever gonna convince her, I mean she lost the one guy she really cared about and I know if that happened to me, well if it was a girl of course, then shit, nothing would stop me from vengeance or whatever. "So meet me at the west entrance of the school at midnight, I know a way we can get in."

October 4

So here I am, 12:03, Mindy hasn't shown up yet, I'm contemplating whether or not to go in alone, but nah, I'll just wait a little longer, to be truthful, I'm kinda fucking scared at the moment.

Ok Mindy finally got here at 12:10, not that late, but I got worried for some reason, thought she was gonna ditch me there and not come at all, but nah, Mindy will stick to her word.

"Ok, follow me, and stay close, and most importantly, stay quiet, we don't know if there's a guard, a cop or anything inside." I said, trying to sound like a leader or some bullshit, ahahaha.

She nodded.

I headed a little to the left of the west entrance, to a side door, got out a lockpick my dad owned for emergency uses. To be truthful, he never used that damn lockpick, instead I used to use it a few years ago when I'd break into people's houses. It took me a little time to learn this lock, since you know; I've been out of practice. But eventually I got it open, and we headed in.

Immediately, I noticed a small room to the left that was left slightly opened. It was the cop's office. Every school has a cop or security guard at least, you know to break up fights and what not. So we went inside, and on the desk I noticed a 9mm sitting there with about 10 clips of ammo. Why the hell were there so many bullets? I can only assume this was confiscated from a student before he could unleash hell in here. But what idiot left the door open? Anyways it doesn't matter, I'm gonna shoot that bitch, Ally, that's bound to end this crazy acid trip from hell.

I loaded the first clip of ammo into the gun, and put the rest in my bookbag that I brought, with various breaking and entering supplies, such as a lock pick and some other items that may come in useful. Now I've only handled a handgun once, and I wasn't very good at it, but at this point, in the corner of the room there was a police club, so I picked it up and gave it to Mindy.

We headed down the west hall past some of the classrooms, they all were locked, well of course they were all locked, what dumbass teacher would leave them unlocked? After going down the west hall, we took a right, and heard a sound off in the distance, that sounded like someone took a shovel and scrapped it across the ground for a few seconds. Following that sound, I felt Mindy's arm grab mine and she whispered, "what the fuck was that?" For some reason, this sounded so damn sexy. I can't explain why it did, but it just did.

For the next 10 minutes or so, she was brushing up against me while we explored the school. There was one classroom, that wasn't locked, we went inside, it was completely different from the rest of the school. I studied my surroundings, everything was red, red as a blood, like one of those photo developing rooms you know? There was no carpet either, it was cement, and there were only 2 desks in the room. One of the desks was a red liquid that looked like blood, and under the circumstances, it probably was. The other desk had a piece of paper, upon closer examination; it was a map of the school. With one minor difference, there was a blue circle in the middle of the courtyard. I decided I'd check this out later, but it appeared to be the same place where the sewer grating is. I folded this map up and put it in my jacket.

I turned around, Mindy was gone, and Ally was right in her place. Staring at me and smiling, I couldn't tell the motive of her smile, it seemed to be a mix of grinning like she just killed someone and joy, pretty damn creepy if you ask me. Mindy was nowhere in sight, and everything was red, like some fucked up acid trip from hell.

"Where's Mindy!?" I demanded from her. He didn't say anything at all, so I raised the pistol. "I know you're fucking behind this you little bitch! Tell me! Or I'll paint the door behind you red!"

"Calm down Max! Who's Mindy?" she said, trying to act dumb.

"Don't play stupid with me motherfucker! Where is she!?" I yelled at her, cocking the gun back ready to blast her face.

"Are you stupid? She's dead, I killed her. Dead. Dead. Dead. Her scream was pretty annoying you know, but otherwise she went down with some dignity," the bitch replied. You know that feeling, when it feels like someone punched you really fucking hard in the stomach? Yeah, that damn sinking feeling you get when that cute girl says no to you. Well imagine that, but on a magnitude of 50.

"You....You bitch...." I said while raising my gun, now I remember this next part vividly, it's really fucking weird how this happened. I started shooting her, right at point blank, everything started slowing down, like one of sci-fi movie with trenchcoats and everything is slow, but even slower. Like, I could see the individual bullets flying out of the piece, and the shells flying past my eyes in such a slow fashion, I kept shooting, I didn't stop until the clip was empty.

After it was all over, I didn't look at her, I looked directly at the door, and headed out it. When I stepped outside the room, everything became normal. Nothing was hazy, or ultra-slo-motion, just felt like being at school at 2 AM. I felt badass, like some action hero from a movie but now was not the time to be feeling cocky. I headed to my locker, to store the stuff I found, I mean, I wouldn't want to bring that fucking firearm home and have someone find it. Gotta think ahead, no matter how strange a situation is. I headed back home

When I got home, I decided to get some much needed sleep, insomnia can do that to a guy you know.

October XXX 5

Holy shit! I've been asleep for 2 days apparently, it seemed like I just blinked or something, I don't recall any dreams or anything. O well goddamn I don't even realize what day it is anymore. Shit, it's Friday already, better got ready to school. Well, I learned my lesson, never stay up nonstop for that long ever again.

---

So. Mindy is really dead, apparently she was shot in the forehead and when they found her, there was a giant "A" carved in her chest. Man I thought that was all of dream. I don't feel like going to school today. Why bother right now? Another funeral for a friend. And it was Ally who killed her, and probably got Mark too, well she's been taken care of.

Well...got rid of Ally, things are gonna be back to normal now.
