The school of death

My horror school life

August 2nd, 2011.

Me and my new friends were playing cricket.

“Hey Zubair, play harder. We have only 12 runs to win. We can't afford to lose anymore." Walid shouts at his school friend from the side of the ground.

“Just have faith in me bro, 12 runs out of 3 balls is nothing for me. I took 12 runs in two balls once. It's just a piece of cake" Zubair chuckles.

The opponent carries out his bowls and Zubair misses one of them, while scoring a six.

Walid and others remind him of what he has done, Zubair now has only one ball to score a six. It's like a life and death situation in sports.

“Ahahaha, it is still nothing hard. I can score 12 runs in one ball…haha." Zubair casually laughs at the situation while being confident in himself.

The match gets intense, the baller puts all of his strength in the ball and throws it.

Sixxxxxx!

Zubair has scored the biggest six in his life, it was the biggest six Walid has ever seen in his lifetime.

We won the match and started to look for the ball which went far away. One of the classmates have seen where the ball has landed.

The ball seems to have fallen into a manhole. We started to look for it all over the place and suddenly someone from among us started to scream. It gives goosebumps to all us, at first we thought it was just someone pranking. But then we decided to look for it out of fear.

We all got terrified and went to the place where he was.

We never expected to see something like this in our whole life. It was our first time witnessing something like this. We saw something laying in the ground.

It was a dead body, someone wearing our school uniform. The body seemed very rotten, bones can be seen. The smell that was coming out of it was already giving us nightmares. The whole thing was something out of a horror film.

Some of us started to run away from the place, some were shivering in fear.

Me? I was standing out cold. I couldn't think what I should be doing. But luckily bappi was standing right beside me, who was one of my good classmates.

Some students called out our school guard, who always stay at school, even at weekends. The school was like his home, there was a house the principal gave him to stay.

The old man who is our school guard called the police, and the situation was handled by the police afterward.

Who was that dead student? Police confirmed it to be Hassan, a 7th-grade student who is said to have gone missing for the past 2 month.

Hassan went missing before onni.

His death even brought more chaos into the school.

2 girls went missing 2 weeks ago, during eid holiday and now the dead body of another student.

Both teachers and students were panicking over the situation. Parents wanted to move their children away from the school and admit them somewhere else. The school board panicked and wanted to do something to gain their trust back as they couldn't afford to lose any students.

Principle finally decided to close the school for 2 weeks, from 4th August to 18 August. They did it to calm the situation down and let the police do something about it.

Police were given the information about every single teacher and students before, but it seems they didn’t investigate them properly. Police were doing their job very poorly, guess that's what happens in 3rd world countries?

After that boys body was founded, this matter got even bigger and even a newspaper published this news.

Police started to visit every student and teachers house to investigate.

“Did you know Hassann?" The officer asks the student in a calm tone.

“No, I mean yeah sure he was in the same school as I but he was not my friend." Walid replies back to the officers question.

“Wait, hassan wasn’t my friend but i know a little bit about him. He bullied me ones, he had a very rude attitude. Because of that one time, I always stayed far away from him as I don't like fighting and stuff. Guess karma hit him hard. Ohhh, okay I'm sorry for saying such a thing. If you ask my opinion, I think he got involved in something big of a mess with some other bad people and got killed." Walid gives his honest opinion on the whole situation.

“Huh, you are the first person to say that. All of his friends told us that he was a nice guy who was good towards them. One of them even cried for him.

Guess we all have 2 sides.

Thanks for the information, that might have helped us in our interrogation a bit." The police officer leaves the house after interrogating Walid in his house.

“Hey walid, did police visit your house too?" One of the friends of Walid asks him as the police is going to everyone's house to investigate the situation.

“Yea, they did. They asked me so many questions. I told them the truth, about Hassan being a total jerk." Walid bites his lips by mistake.

“Why are these shits investigating us, instead of trying to find the real culprit. They are just wasting time, we have freaking exams on our way. We have to study, out of all. The schools are shut. Man this is so frustrating." Walid and few of his friends are hanging out on the school playground.

Atleast we can play cricket and hang out with each other on our school play ground.

“Ooooooyy, that school guard is telling us to get out of the field." Zubair tells the others.

“Why? We can't even visit the field? Thats so annoying.

I am not leaving, hey walid…you with me?" Bappi gets annoyed by the guard for kicking them out of the playground.

Walid does not want to leave the ground as well, he also likes staying with bappi so he won't leave bappi be alone here at the ground.

“All of you, go away if you want. Act as if everyone got out. We will be leaving later, i was having fun sitting here after so many days." Bappi tells the others to go away while he and Walid will be staying behind, they will leave later on.

“Everyone left walid, its just you and me now.

I hope that annoying guard didn’t see us…hey look, he's closing the gates. I wonder how he lives in that small house behind the school building. He must be a drunker, guess he is gonna do something fishy?" The two kids are thinking of doing something funny without thinking of the consequences. Bappi has always been someone arrogant while Walid just likes following bappi.

“Yea maybe he told everyone to go out because he is gonna do something bad? I have heard the rumors about him as well, they say he drinks alcohol everyday when everyone is gone." Walid chuckles a bit.

“Oh yeah? Why don't we find out ourselves. That would be fun, let's expose this MF."

Walid and his friend bappi goes behind the school without making a noice, to see if the rumors are true or not.

“That's his house, the doors closed.

Lets go close and hear what he is saying. There seems to be some kind of noise."

The two start getting more and more closer to the house and put their ears behind the door.

“Ummm…there's no noise. I guess we were wrong, maybe he went to sleep. Huh, let's get out of here." The two slowly talk with each other.

“Wait walid, there's a strange noise…..its getting louder. What is this….sheesh, say it slowly,he might hear us."

The two are being careful about not making a loud noise and alerting the guard who is inside.

Bappi tells Walid about a sound leaking out from the inside, a sound of something getting cut.

Crack

“Hey bappi, let me see what he is cutting. There's this small hole…I can see." Walid finds a small hole through the gate and decides to look through it to find out what was inside. Bappi helps him get up and see. What Walid saw was not what he was expecting to see.

Walid screams out loud

BLOOD!!!!!!!!!! BLOOD!!!!

Bappi gets scared by his scream and tells him to shut up as he didn't wanted the guard to find out.

walid and bappi runs away from the place and tops up the school walls and escapes. What was that bro? Blood? What blood?

Waalid is taking heavy breaths and doesn’t say anything. It frustrates bappi even more.

“What, say something. Was he killing some animal brutally? What was he doing, why did it scare you so much? It couldn't have been worse than that, can it?

I am sure he heard me saying your name, he might complain it to the principal, we might get in trouble. Just tell me what did you saw?" Bappi wants to know what he saw through the hole.

“It was not animal, it was not animal, it was not animal.

That guy, he is a monster. How can someone do something like this?" Walid starts sweating all over the place and takes heavy breaths. Bappi has never seen him be this scared.

“What did he do,hey walid. Just calm down and tell me what did he do?" Bappi requests to know.

“I am being very calm here bappi, if you saw what i saw. You would have screamed a hundred times louder.

I saw blood, not of any animal.

I saw him drink blood, not of any animal.

I saw him cut fresh meat, not of any animal.

I saw him smiling while cuting the meat, not of any animal.

He was dismembering a real HUMAN.

He killed someone, he was cutting that bodies meat.

The strange loud sounds we heard were the sound of bones breaking.

He was treating the body as if it were a chicken.

Not only that, he drank few drops of blood from the body.

He was enjoying doing that. Bappy, we have to hurry and tell the principal about all this, no we should call the police." Walid starts dropping tears, tears of fear and anxiety.

Bappi doesn't seem to believe what Walid just told him. He slaps walid out of fear and confusion.

“Have you lost your mind? Are you day dreaming or is this some kind of joke? How is something like that even possible? Just get a hold of yourself man." Bappi shouts at Walid.

Walid keeps staring at bappi and almost starts to cry.

“You are really serious… But…but….what should we do…we are kids. No no no, I must be dreaming, this can't be happening." Bappi pinches himself and realizes it's not a dream but a reality.

“Hey walid, stay shut about this for now. I don't want to get into any trouble, we should think more about this and then tell our parents."

Lets go home, we will talk about this tomorrow.
