Part 6

Carmichael stared at the big group of boys that was in his office, yelling something about a ghost and then changing it to poltergeist and weird freaky stuff happening in room 213. That room… it had always been a cause of rumors and scary stories and stupid dares throughout the years, it was the same when Carmichael himself attended school here back in 1977. He had been a junior back then and the school was bustling with rumors about room 213. Carmichael waited for the boys to calm down and then asked Blaine Anderson to tell him what happened. He and David Mitchell informed Carmichael about the exploding glass, the blood, all the chaos in the room that right now was completely trashed. Carmichael smiled.

"Show me", he said calmly and got up and his boys all but dragged him to the dorm and outside of it was crawling with boys looking up at the window of room 213 with big frightened eyes.

"Sir there is screeching and strange noises coming from one of the rooms in the dorm", said a sophomore.

"Is it a ghost", a frightened freshman asked.

"No of course not", Carmichael said and smiled warmly at the freshman. "I am sure it is just a prank by some rival glee club or sports team. They know Blaine is the lead singer of the Warblers and they know he plays on the football field. So I guess this is all just some prank. Let's go up shall we?"

"No", Blaine tried but Carmichael put a hand on his shoulder and steered him inside. Blaine sent big scared eyes to David and the others but there was nothing they could do. Their principal almost dragged Blaine towards room 213. David had decided that since he was dorm-prefect he had to come with them. So he walked a bit behind and they slowly got to the door. Blaine shied back when their principal went up to the door. He opened it and David and Blaine gaped. There was nothing there except a string. Carmichael walked into the room and picked it up.

"Yes this room is very messy and very destroyed", Carmichael said with a soft smile looking at the boy.

"But but but but but but but but but but but but but…" David got out staring at the perfect room.

"But what", Carmichael asked softly, he smiled at the boys.

"It didn't look like this when we left", Blaine said. "It was blood everywhere and everything was trashed!"

"That was last week Blaine", Carmichael said softly.

"What", David asked.

"Yes last week the football team from McKinley broke into the school and trashed all the rooms belonging to the football team."

"No they didn't", Blaine said. That's when the door to Thad and Sebastian's room opened and Thad stepped out, having a black eye.

"Thad?!" David exclaimed. "How did you get here?!"

"Uh I live here", Thad said and looked confused. "Good morning Principal Carmichael."

"Good morning Mr. Clearwater", Carmichael said with a smile. "Are you feeling any better after the lacrosse game against Boston Bears?"

"Yeah", Thad said and winced. "Who knew those guys would target the small fry?"

"Wait the Boston Bears", David said. "Dude you aren't up against them for two weeks!"

"Our team was up against them two days ago", Thad said looking at David as if he was crazy. "Have you forgotten? Fred and Rock had to keep Sebastian and Nick from killing the Bears after they gang tackled me into the ground. Joseph tackled you to the ground before you got a chance to go over to the Bears and tear them in half… which you shouted that you would."

"But… but", David was at a loss of words. It sounded like something he would do, but he had no memory of doing it.

"That my memory of the whole thing is a bit hazy", Thad continued. "So hazy that I needed Frank, Joseph and Rock to explain it to me last night is understandable but that you and Blaine suddenly have amnesia… that's just strange."

"But yesterday", Blaine began but trailed off. What had he done yesterday? He couldn't remember fully. He looked at David and David looked at him. Looking just as confused.

"Well there was nothing wrong with your room Blaine", Carmichael said softly. "So I will offer you boys a good Saturday and I hope you will all have a nice Christmas. You go home tomorrow right?"

"Yes sir", Thad said and smiled as the man walked away. When he was gone he turned to David and Blaine. "Something freaky is going on here!"

"Huh", David asked.

"Yesterday I stood outside of the dorm and then I woke up at the hospital looking like this!" He pointed at his bruised face. "And you guys all act completely 'normal'! You said that the hit must've made me confused because I was two weeks behind you in time!"

"What", David said and looked at Thad with big eyes. "So you mean you… wait I'm confused."

"So am I", Blaine said and looked at Thad. "Let's go into your room."

"No", Thad said and shook his head. "Sebastian and Niff are asleep in there and so is Trent… you guys were too. You are all a bunch of protective idiots…"

"Well you look as if someone ran you over with a truck", David mumbled. "So why wouldn't we?"

"Okay", Blaine said and turned to room 213. "Let's go in there then… That's the only place where we can be somewhat alone."

The other two nodded and they stepped inside. The room was still empty and clean and perfect. There was a small crack in the wall near the bathroom, from the McKinley attack Blaine figured. They sat down on the floor.

"Okay", Thad said. "Yesterday I woke up in a hospital bed with the Warblers and the lacrosse team hovering. Joseph, Rock and Frank explained to me that I'd been gang-tackled by the Boston Bears. Which confused me because five minutes earlier you two and Carmichael stepped into the dorm. I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was in the hospital. I can't remember anything from these past two weeks…"

"But", Blaine said. "We just got in here to tell Carmichael about the trashed and bloody room… But the room was clean and whole and then you came out."

"This doesn't make any sense!" David yelled and threw his hands up. "First we figure out this Wes guy is a poltergeist, then we come back here and it's suddenly two weeks later but you got here yesterday Thad but we didn't appear to notice and… God my head hurts."

There was a knock on the door and Niff along with Trent and Sebastian entered.

"Don't go running off like that", Jeff scolded Thad. "you're still supposed to be on bedrest!"

"I can't help it", Thad grumbled. "I want to figure out why I suddenly time skipped two weeks into the future."

"But you haven't", Trent said.

"So have them!" Thad pointed at David and Blaine and the duo told the others their story and Sebastian sighed in relief.

"Good", he said and they all stared at him. "I thought it was just me… I've been here for three days."

"That's nothing", Nick said. "Jeff and I got here a week ago."

"Try about two weeks", Trent said.

"Wait what?!" Thad looked shocked. "If you've all experienced time jumps why didn't you tell me?"

"Because you got knocked to the ground and got a head-trauma", Trent said and took Thad's hand gently. "I don't know about the others but I thought you were just confused."

"Yeah", Jeff said. "Nick and I were afraid you wouldn't believe us."

"So", Blaine cut in. "We have all experienced some kind of time jump?"

They all nodded.

"But", David said. "Why? I mean… I've never heard about poltergeists making time skip."

"I don't think he's either a ghost or a poltergeist", a new voice said from the door and a blonde young man entered and sat beside Trent. He was reading in a book.

"Uh… who are you", David asked confused.

"Guys this is my new roommate Hunter Clarington", Trent explained. "He arrived about two weeks ago. Hunter these are the real guys, they have all jumped in time now too."

"Nice to meet you", Hunter said and smiled. "About two weeks ago you guys informed me about your poltergeist after we did homework in here and I saw that ghost guy."

"Wait you saw him?!" Blaine exclaimed.

"Yeah", Hunter said. "And-"

Blaine and the others stared in confusion. They were still in room 213 but they were there with Carmichael now and Hunter was nowhere to be seen.

"The room looks in order Blaine", Carmichael said and smiled. "I think that you and the boys have been victim of a prank."

"What do you", Blaine began but trailed off. That crack in the wall was gone and Thad no longer had bruises or seemed to be in pain. They had time jumped again!

"Our chemistry teacher reported that he was paying some boys in this dorm back by adding a hallucinogenic substance to the air conditioner… what you boys have seen and heard these past few days are just hallucinations. Don't worry it is completely harmless."

Blaine and the others just stared at each other and Carmichael left with a small smile. Could things get any stranger?!

"Oh right before I forget Trent", Carmichael said. "In two days a transfer student will arrive and he'll be your new roommate. His name is Hunter Clarington." He walked off.

Apparently things could get stranger.
