It was the first Monday of September.

It was the first day of school.

Sharpay and Ryan stood.

They stood in front of the huge building.

They were alone.

Kay was on her way to UMS.

Grandma had dropped Sharpay and Ryan off.

She had dropped them off, and then left.

She was taking Kay away.

Kay was going to Unusual Middle School.

Sharpay and Ryan were at Unusual University.

Sharpay thought it would be an unusual school, hence the name.

It WAS an unusual school.

But that was not why it was called Unusual.

The owners of the schools had an unusual last name

Their last name was Unusual.

That was why the schools were called Unusual.

They were called that because of the family's last name.

Sharpay swallowed the lump in her throat.

Ryan continuously snapped his fingers.

They were both horribly nervous.

The building was huge.

It was gray.

It was stone.

It was cold looking.

It was cruel looking

It was unwelcome looking.

It was unpleasant looking.

And here they would stay until Christmas.

Oh, joy.

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

Sharpay and Ryan entered the building.

They stood in a large entrance hall.

The walls were made of stone.

They were cold.

The floor was made of marble.

It was cold.

There was a large door.

The door was at the end of the room.

There was no furniture.

Only in the room: the walls, the ceiling, the floor, and the door.

Oh, wait!

There was a sign now.

That hadn't been there before.

A sign had just appeared out of nowhere!

This place really was magical!

That didn't make it any happier, though.

Sharpay approached the sign.

It was blank.

Sharpay stared.

The sign remained blank.

It was useless.

Sharpay continued walking.

Ryan called to her to wait.

He called to her to come back.

There was something on the sign.

There were words.

Enter if you dare.

They didn't want to.

They didn't want to enter!

But they had to!

They had no choice!

It wasn't fair!

Sharpay opened the door.

Nothing was there.

The door revealed a small, dark room.

The room was empty.

The room was cold.

There was nothing in the room.

There was a ceiling.

There was a floor.

There were walls.

There was nothing else.

There wasn't even a door!

They were trapped!

They were stuck.

They were alone.

They were scared.

They were frightened.

They were anxious.

They were nervous.

They were unhappy.

They were moving.

They were falling!

They were sliding!

They were trapped in darkness.

They were falling through darkness!

There had been a trap door in the floor!

They landed hard on dirt.

They were underneath the building.

It wasn't a basement.

It was just dirt.

There were insects.

There were rodents.

There was darkness.

That was all.

Sharpay clawed at the walls.

Sharpay screamed.

Sharpay wailed.

Sharpay cried.

Sharpay woke up.

Author's Note: Yup, that was a dream. School won't be THAT horrible! Please review!
