Can you guys look at this real quick. It's for my school, and I want to see how you all like it. Arigatou~

The Doppelganger

"Well…" The… thing across from me snapped his fingers. A single chair appeared between us. "…Shall we begin?"

How did I get myself into this again...? Oh yeah…

One Day ago…

My name is Jalen Brown. I'm in the 7th grade. I'm also in TAG. That means Talented and Gifted, by the way. I was walking to my bus, because school was over, when I spotted this book on the ground. I picked it up, and read the cover.

"Double gangers? What?" I scratched my head in confusion. What the heck is a double ganger?

"That is pronounced, Doppelganger," My friend corrected me. He was walking to his bus too, and we usually just stroll along together. His name is Akihisa, but I usually just call him Aki. "A Doppelganger is… hmm… it's kind of like an evil twin. A ghost maybe… It's still a mystery to the world." Aki explained, since he noticed my confused expression.

"I think it's a library book, we should return it tomorrow. Then, we can see who lost it and tell them." I said, as I gave the book to Aki.

"Then why are you giving it to me?"

"Y-you know…" I turned away. "I am not keeping a… g-ghost book. I'll never get any sleep with that in my house. It's better if you keep it." Aki nodded, and grabbed the book.

"Well, see you later Jalen! I'll return the book to the library!" Aki yelled as he ran to his bus. "I didn't know you were so scared of a bunch of myths. Although… I do remember you got creeped out about Jeff the Killer…"

"DON'T SAY HIS NAME! AHHH!" I screamed as I ran away, catching the eyes of many people. But I didn't care. I liked being the center of attention anyway.

If you're wondering who Jeff the Killer is, well it's a killer (of course) that wears this white mask that is VERY, VERY creepy! Do not look him up or you will have nightmare for… who knows how long…

I'm just scared of ghost and things like that. It's a very common fear, I think. Anybody would run if they saw their sheets moving by themselves, or their door closing and opening by themselves. I just… I don't want anything to do with any Double gangers or whatever they are called. I'll never get sleep worrying about that…

Later that day…

"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

My scream went through the house and probably through the neighborhood. I fell down, and started to hyperventilate…

In my book bag was t-that DOPPELGANGER BOOK CRAP!

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" I threw my book bag in the air and kicked it out of my room. Dramatic much?

"JALEN?! WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?! ARE YOU OK?!" My mom yelled from her room.

"SORRY, I'M ALRIGHT!"

"OKAY, CALL ME IF YOU NEED SOMETHING!"

"OKAY!"

I sighed as I dragged my book bag back (Try saying that 5 times fast) in my room and flopped on my bed.

"No worries… I was just imagining it. There is no book in my book bag, just my homework. I just have to get my homework out of my bag and finish it." I laughed as I sat up. "Hahaha, am I dumb? Of course there is no creepy book in my bag. I remember giving it to Aki… Hahaha…"

I picked up my book bag and lazily tossed it on my bed. "Stupid Jalen, you must really have problems. How is that possible? A book that can just appear in your book bag when you obviously gave it to your friend who was stupid enough to actually take a ghost book that can easily keep a person up all night and make them tired all through school. Hahahahahaha…" I stopped laughing and stared at the book showing out of my book bag. "I'm just going insane. I'm talking to myself, that's a sign. I'm just an insane person who is hallucinating that books magically appear my book bag. I would laugh right now, but I think I'm overusing that."

I sighed again, opened my book bag, tossed the hallucination out my room, closed the door, locked the door, put a chair under the doorknob, and took out my homework.

4 hours later…

` 10:00pm, my bed time. I don't even care about that book anymore, I'm just going to sleep with my door closed, and there is no way that book would be able to find its way in my room. I took off my glasses, and got under the covers of my bed. My eyes seemed to close, and before I knew it I was snoring.

2:46am…

My eyes opened, and I reluctantly sat up.

I had to pee.

Did you know that if you seem to wake up at 2:00, a ghost was watching you sleep? Or something like that, I heard it from a friend. I wasn't really thinking about it then, my brain wasn't functioning. If it was I wouldn't have knocked the chair over, unlocked my door, opened my door, walked pass the book on the floor and go in the restroom.

After I was done, I foolishly left my door open and got back in my bed. A few minutes passed, and I wasn't feeling sleepy anymore. I was feeling more anxious than tired, like… that feeling you get when you feel someone is standing over you. Meh, must be-

I opened my eyes and my brain was running again. My blood was circulating throughout my whole body. My organs were running way too fast, and I probably should have been worried. But I wasn't. I was more worried about the person standing at my doorway.

The way his eyes shined in the dark and was way too wide and bloodshot creeped me out. The way his smile was way too big, and showed his perfect teeth creeped me out. And… the way he looked exactly like me… Creeped. Me. Out.

I tried to scream, but I couldn't. I tried to move, but I couldn't. I could only close my eyes and wait for the worst. I cursed myself for leaving the door open. I cursed myself for having to pee. I cursed myself for WAKING UP. I just wanted to be anywhere but there, anywhere in the world.

I waited for what seemed like an eternity, and slowly opened my eyes. I was in… a room? Could you call this a room? It was purple and black smoke everywhere, and I didn't know what I was standing on. I looked around, and there I was. Looking at… myself? I don't understand.

"Where am I?" I asked.

"Well…" The… thing across from me snapped his fingers. A single chair appeared between us. "…Shall we begin?"

I shuddered at my voice, and music started to play. I quickly recognized this game as musical chairs, and started to walk around the chair.

"Whoever loses falls down into the bottomless smoke, while the winner gets to keep the body, understood?" I nodded. The music stopped and we both jumped for the chair. The music stopped, and everything turned black…

This is what I am turning in to my school writing competition. I really want you guys to tell me what I should do better or if it's alright. Okay, bye nii~!
