A Haunted School

The Beginning

The story unveils in a school (St. Gregory Nazahzien) at a very late dusk or time of the night. In the silence of the night we hear;“The atmosphere is fleshy and full of fresh blood, let us go and eat and make merry now that the fruits are ripe not when they are over ripen and go sour,” Said a very ugly monster Zeph.“Oh Grand Master hail,” Said Vinks“Hail...” The rest lots of invisible horrifying creature saidWith his head bowed down “Oh Grand Master hail,” Continued Vinks. “It is though true that the harvest is ripe and we know for certain, we’re about to reap where our seeds soweth not. Isn’t it right or due to wait for a process and study this red meaty lard ass kids, then plunder the share?”“So true,” added Schimek. “Truly true,” he continued, “The small nature of man had deceived us, so looking into the mind of these kids I see as I hope others here do, that there is this inner peace, inner peace I see oh Master, that surges them making them invulnerable to our attacks.”“Ha ha ha.........,” Zeph continuously laughed.Then he spoke, “A legion, a sect and a circle a true one. One that can’t be broken, you’ve viewed and spoken well but I think it’s not a problem. You see, it’s just as good as getting this last weak lad amongst them and illu ionize him through one we get many.”He continued still, “I’ve just learnt that there’s no rush but necessity has made me think and plan to do the needful. That chubby lad is whom my heart, soul, mind and body yearns for since a long time ago. So I think with what you’ve said the truth, there’s no need causing much ado about nothing.”Behind a building in the school,“I love school especially at this hour when no one’s there to police you, the dark ages of the school I call it,” said Damien“Truly,” Damien continued, “I love the night again; when we have to play cards but there’s a problem, Jesse don’t seem to know the joys or importance of been a teenager that we all are! But to remind you, hope you know what ‘the dark ages’ means?”“A bully, don’t you see” added AlbertGeorge and Damien, whispers to each other. Damien expressing his hate over the presence of Albert when he is having fun, and George uses Albert physique to insult him. As they continued gossiping and laughing, Albert who was lost in the fun interrupted.“May I speak?” asked Albert?“You may,” replied Damien“There’s something I dislike ...!”’HUH!” Interrupted Damien and George.“What is it?” Asked Damien?“It is when I’m in your midst, when playing and chatting and you two turn aside to whisper into each other’s ears and laugh. That action drains my emotions I don’t know why have no definition for it, but I beg you two not to do it again. Promise?” He added.“Hmm...Promise!” George sighed and said with a pretentious face.“Lets then play our cards together friends,” added Albert“Friends? Damien asked. “What... if I may ask?” “You may,” said Albert and George “Though the answer is one in which you shouldn’t say out ponder on it in your minds, even if it isn’t worth it.”Having said this, Albert and George looked at each other.“My question is, ‘what can you break without picking it up?’. Then he laughed“I hate killing people’s emotions.” George said on a low key then giggled. Albert left the two sobbing to his dorm“Hmm...... pity on the poor boy,” Damien added As they both left to their dorms.On a Tuesday Morning“Morning Mr. Einstein.”“Yeah morning, Miss Jones, so lovely a morning isn’t it?” “Yeah,” she repliedThe staff all greeted one another and entered together into the conference room. The last man to enter the room was the principal Mr. Smith Adams.“Good morning, fellow staff”“Morning sir,” they all replied in unisonThe principal continued, “This academic year as other academic years has been smooth so far but we can’t deny the fact that there is still something that always intrudes us during the course of the term, which is sure.”“There is this issue I would want us to discuss today, I am concerned telling you this truth. You all here are academic staff and so I do not think what I’m about to say will involve any of you too deeply.”“This which troubles me is that the rate of bulling in this institution is at a very high rate, increasing far above average and it is still going on. The other staff members and I though not present; the student welfare coordinator and house masters; we’ve tried all we could but the issue seems to be above us.”“As an old boy of this school, I can testify before the heavens that this school was never like this. It’s also a shame on my path that a case like this will arise when I am the principal. It’s a thing of surprise colleagues I know, that instead of the normal academic issues we’re to tackle, I speak of other issues.”“My reasons are crystal clear, a child or student can’t learn in a school and remember what is taught, no matter how the teacher tries; when such a child is in the trauma of bullying. The child’s mindset of a truth, won’t be settled. He tries to combat with himself against the predator and also his studies; of which the two can’t stand. He tends to produce a poor academic performance not because of his inability to comprehend what is being taught but that of risk which his life is into; bully!”After this, there was great silence in the room everyone was just looking too concerned and pondering and Miss Abigail Jones broke the silence.“As teachers, the students’ concentration is our first priority. Looking into everything, no teacher would be happy when the students he/she has taught for a long while produces poor results. I suggest therefore to the authority to harden and make stricter the school rules and regulation. The students shouldn’t be given the chance which makes them misbehaves.” “I agree she is too right to be wrong sir,” Said Einstein. He continued, we all are aware that this school is too populated making it hard for right supervision of the students. The child that proves to be stubborn and crook should be given a letter and he knows what that means, this might help.”“But here’s another problem,” said Mr. Smith. “How are we going to complement these rules when the formation of this rules are hard?”In the hostelEarly noon“I overheard that huge ugly boy Jesse tell those in the next block to get ready for the next episode,” said Robin.“The authority in his speech is most times too annoying and terrifying that it could murder a boar,” added NathanielRobin continued, “I got him drink that closet water, he drank it all. It serves him right though he knew not the source of the water but he squeezed his face as he drank. After all, no man is born a slave for anyone.They all laughed and Nathaniel added “You’re such a smart b***h dude and I saw him made Albert s mell his ass.”
