"A School Story"

"A School Story" Our school had sort of a surprise for all of the students who made the honor roll. It was a day trip to a festival. The festival was in Sandusky Ohio. This was about a two and a half hour trip from our high school. I went too mentor.  Anyways approximately twenty five students had made the honor roll and we had two buses that bought us to the festival. We were all excited to enjoy a day off.   We arrived at the festival around 10:30 A.M. which would have been math class for me, if I was at school. We got off the bus and as soon as we had entered the park me and my girlfriend quickly ditched the field trip chaperones before they had even noticed we were gone.  We weren't supposed to leave the group yet but we did anyway. We were teenagers we just wanted to go out on our own and talk. First thing we did was we hid in the fun house first and made out. After about a half hour we walked over and played several carnival games. There was one carney working who kept mocking us saying things like “You two couldn’t whack a mole if your lives depended on it.” So Naturally I had to show this guy off so we played "Whack a mole" “Challenge accepted!” I said to the man as I won my girlfriend a giant panda bear. She loved it. “Thank you so much Pandas are my favorite animal. She told me. “You’re welcome.” I told her winking to the carny as we started to leave.” “All be that boy has skill.” the carny said scratching his head. We walked over towards the duck pound. “Win me a goldfish.” My girlfriend said. “Ok I paid two dollars and was handed two balls the object of the game was to get the balls to bounce inside the “Green or Red tubes” The first once bounced and landed on “Blue” The second landed on “White” “White is a do-over” The man said who was running the game. *I looked at my girlfriend held my breath and threw the ball.* It missed and bounced off to the ground and hit a man in the head who spilled his coffee. *he stared over towards us.* *I quickly looked away from him and started to laugh.* “Better luck next time I guess.” The carney told us as we started to walk away. “That’s ok I don’t have room for any goldfish anyhow and my cat would constantly want to eat the poor fish.” My girlfriend said.   We continued walking around and decided it was time to grab some food.   I got a hotdog and a coke while my Girlfriend Christine got a fried banana “it came right from the oven so it was very hot.” The cook had warned us. She took one bite and spit it out; “That was Nasty!” She said as we watched it hit a man in a trench coat and sunglasses. It was the same man who the ball had hit by accident. He had blonde hair and a deep voice. “I approached the man and started to say “I’m sorry sir we didn’t mean to hit you.” And he shouted out “Hey" and stared at us.  We apologized again to him. He stared at us and said "You Stupid kids." And he then started to walk away. We ignored him and continued walking around. We saw him again later this time he looked at us for a good minute scratching his head and walked away. "I don't like him. Christine said to me. "Me either" I had replied.   It was time for us to start walking back towards our classmates. But before we did we had decided for some reason to go off on our own again but this time to the woods with Jeremy. He was our other friend we had been good friends for several years and grew up together.  Once we were in the woods Jeremy grabbed a cigarette and started to smoke. "Man this is lame." “Would you rather be in class?" I asked. "No" he said. *Handing me a cigarette*  *I told him no thanks.” Suddenly we heard twigs snap. We looked over it was the man again, this time he had a knife in his hand and laughed and approached us. He then turned to Christine and said to us "Now none of you needs to get hurt hear, all I need is all the cash you have. And I mean all of it I don’t play games give me it and you all walk away Scott free but refuse and well. *The man shows us the knife*" Jeremy said “No”. *the man laughed and sighed. I watched as the man approached us and said "Look I have no problem killing you. If that’s really what you want it’s fine with me I was offering you a very simple deal but if you want to play hard guy well I can play with the best of them." I reached into my pocket and grabbed my wallet and threw it on the ground. “This one gets it.”   The man grabbed Said as he Bent over and picked it up.* the man looked at Christine and then towards me again. Christine took her purse off her shoulder and handed it over to the man. He put her purse inside a bag he had with him.   Lastly he stared at Jeremy. “Bite me.” Jeremy said at first. “Kid really?” The man said showing off his knife. Jeremy sighed and took out his wallet and threw it at the man. It hit his leg. “I should kill you just for that but I’m a nice guy and I’m going to spare you kid but you better listen better next time.”  “Or I’ll be better armed.” Jeremy said spitting at the guy’s shoes. “The man laughed and gave us a look and then said "if any of you and I mean any of you tell anyone that I robbed you I will not hesitate to kill you. Do you understand?” *We shook our heads in agreement to the man.* “Good.” He said. With that he left. And we left the woods and returned to the festival. One of our teachers ran up to us and said she was worried.  Jeremy and I apologized and said we were in the bathroom.   Christine shook her head agreeing. About twenty minutes later we had to get back on the bus. We sat in the back and did not speak for a couple minutes. However On the way back to school we confessed about where we were and about being robbed by a man with a knife. The teachers had talked to us for a few minutes and one got out her phone and called the police to report the crime. “Everything will be alright.” She told us; also we were told that we needed to speak to the head of school security as well. She told us. And said that the Head of School security was running late and he was newly hired. We arrived back at the School and we waited about an hour or so we watched as a red car pulled up to the School and a man stepped out of the car. To our horror it was the man in the trench coat who robbed us. He approached us “I’m so sorry I am running late.” “That’s ok” The teacher had said. “Well I am here now Can I help you?" He looked at us. We nervously walked backwards. “Stop kids” Our teacher then told him they were robbed and she said she called the police. "Oh really?" The man said. Can I please have a word with the kids alone?" "Yes" the teacher said. “No don’t” I said but it was too late she had already left. "You snitched." The man said. Jeremy just took off running and we followed him running as fast as we could.   The man started to chase after us as well. We heard the police and followed the sound of the sirens and we ran to them. The man wasn't behind us anymore. We ran up to the police and waved them on the road. We told them about the man. The police told us to wait in the police car and that they would search for the man.  We got into the police car for our safety and watched the police walked around the school. We thought we were safe. We took several deep breaths. But then we heard the car door open. "That was quick did you find him?" Christine asked. As the car engine stared and we stared to drive off. The man didn't talk. Something was off. I looked outside as the two police officers were running to the car.  We looked up; the man was driving the police car. “Yes” He said laughing as we were now trapped in the car.
