To say my life is horrible , is an understatement . My high
school cannot be described in a more accurate word , so , although it is
considered foul language , I will use this word to give you a precise image of
this pathetic excuse for a school : shit. All the teachers do , is gossip about
whoever’s absent , put on lipstick and so much makeup that they look like Effie
Trinket from the Hunger Games , and last
but not least , stare at countless pages of playboy magazines . And once in a while they would bother to
interrupt their productive activities to inform us about what chapters we have
to study for the upcoming tests .
Obviously those chapters have never been explained or discussed in any of our
classrooms before .
But despite the sheer negligence of the teaching staff I still managed to get
ok grades , unlike most of the students at my “high school” . Well I guess it
SHOULD be called a HIGH school , since most of the people there are so dumb
they could be high .
To top things off , I have to go home to my step-mother
everyday. After my mother died , after spending a painful friendless day at
school , after repeatedly wishing I didn’t exist , I had to go home to my
hateful step-mom and my alcoholic dad . Whoever said that life is beautiful ,
was a God Damned liar !
One day , as I walked through the front door , she ran to me
smiling from ear to ear , her blond hair tucked in a ponytail , her perfect
white teeth looked like a fangs to me and her deep blue eyes hid endless evil .
Something bad was going to happen to me . All the signs proved it . She was
smiling and appeared excited about my arrival , she usually puts on her best
growl the minute she sees me .
Fortunately , what was good for her , was good for me this
one time .She had convinced my father to make me attend a boarding school . I
was thrilled to hear this , my body itched with excitement . Finally I could
escape this wretched hole I call my life . No more malicious step-mom , no more
drunk father , no more retarded schools that instead of giving you knowledge
can actually make you stupider than you were before you enrolled . NO MORE SHIT !
A week later a cab came to take me to my new home . It was a
three hour drive , so I would arrive at three in the after-noon . But I arrived
at four cause The car broke down and we
had to wait for help .
The weirdest thing happened while we were waiting . An old
lady carrying a basket of red apples stopped and offered to sell me one of her
fruits . I accepted the offer because the sight of the red plump apples got my mouth watering
.
“That’ll be a dollar “ she said in her shaky voice . I took
out my wallet and handed her a five dollar bill since I didn’t have any change
. She tried to give me back four dollars but I wouldn’t allow it . I felt bad
for the poor old lady , having to sell apples in the streets at her age , she
should be resting .
“You’re a nice young man “ she complimented “ where are you
heading ?”
“Gardner Waters Boarding school” I answered nonchalantly .
However , she had a different reaction.
Her mouth fell open , while her eyes got so big I thought
they’d fall straight out of her head .
“No son don’t go there , go home “ she cried “it’s not good
there , it’s a place for Satan not for nice young men like you . Go home .”
“I’m sure it’s not that bad “ I replied with a friendly
smile .
“Please son , listen to me , don’t go there . they’ll take
you away . They’ll change you .”
“Who are they ?”
“ALL OF THEM !” she drew a cross in the air in front of me “
May the Lord guide you and protect you and stop you from throwing yourself into
danger .”
Just when she said that , I heard a loud noise behind me . I
turned around just for a second to see what had caused it and when I turned
back to her she was gone with no trace . Like the ground had opened up and ate
her whole .
After spending two days there , I couldn’t understand what
she met . Everyone seemed really nice . No one looked or acted like they were satanic . Well she IS
old . So maybe she had lost it , or maybe she believed rumors and ghost stories
.Whatever the case I decided that this was in fact NOT a bad place and it
certainly was better than the old one .
Here I had friends and a real education . Here I was happy
and free , and with this new freedom at hand, I decided that I wanted to try
smoking for the first time . I rounded up my friends and told them .
“ Wow dude , you’ve never smoked before ?!” exclaimed
Jessica , her honey eyes glistening under the moonlight that came through my
dorm room window .
“keep your voice down Jess , we don’t need the principal to
know that we sneak into each others rooms after curfew , we could get expelled
“ Warned Ted .
“ If he wants to try smoking , we should take him to the
woods . We’re not aloud to smoke on campus but no one can say nothing if we’re
off campus .” suggested Rodney .
“well let’s go then !” urged Jessica and we sneaked out of
my room and into the woods.
The cigarette between my fingers , I lifted it up to my lips
, then inhaled . I coughed once or twice but eventually got the hang of it .
Meanwhile Rodney and Ted were drinking their brains out .
I glance over at Jessica . Her body under the moonlight made
me think of her as more than a friend for
the first time ever . The way her red hair sort of shined like a
camp fire , the way her eyes reflected the moon , the way she licked her dried
lips continuously , the way her shirt showed
so much of her cleavage as her short shorts did wonders for her back side .
“Why are you starring at me ?” she asked , and at the same
time Ted started laughing hysterically .
After his alcohol-induced laughing fit was over I answered “ because you’re
beautiful” .
She walked over and sat
next to me . I didn’t know what to do . Did she want me to touch her ,
to feel her ,to embrace her ? or did she want to be left untouched ? I decided
to test my luck and put my hand on her exposed hip , feeling it , rubbing it up
and down and squeezing it a bit once I was close to her private parts . She let
out a small moan and that’s when I knew I was aloud to kiss her and I did . And
her dried , cracked lips were heavenly .
Suddenly she stopped
and for some reason I felt scared . I didn’t know why .
I opened my eyes to see her red hair melting into her skull
, her skull melting into her neck . and so on until she became a big white blob
with two human sized eyes and fat arms and legs . I pushed her away as quickly
as I could and backed up till my back hit a tree . WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON
?! THIS CAN’T BE REAL !
I looked over to where the boys were but found two big white
blobs instead . And it was then that the
big white blob that was once Jessica , let out an ear-piercing scream .
I was almost paralyzed with fear but I had run back to
campus , to warn the principal about whatever these things were .
“ Oh hello there “ answered
Mr. Augustus after I knocked on his door .
“Jessica and Ted and and Rodney” I started out of breath .
“ yes I know about that “ he interrupted .
“and you’re not gonna do anything about it ?”
“but of course I intend to do all that is in my power about
it !”
“well good “ I sighed relieved , wiping some sweat from my
forehead .
“would you please care to follow me ?” he asked politely and
I did as I was told .
He walked up the stairs and into a bedroom , he stopped in
front of a bookshelf . He pulled out a green book , and a wall moved revealing
an entrance .
I followed him through the entrance and into a dark tunnel ,
then into a labarotary . All I could
think about was the countless things in this room that could be used to destroy those disgusting blobs .
“Have a seat” ordered the principal and I did on the only
one I found .
It was a white leather chair , like the one from the
dentist’s office .
Suddenly , something pushed me back , and straps were being
tightened around my arms and legs making
escape impossible . It was the chair , and the principal was maneuvering some
kind of remote .
“WHAT’S GOING ON ?!” I yelled fear creeping into my heart
making beads of sweat drip down my forehead .
“ I told you I’d do everything in my power about it “ he
smiled “ you need to change , and become one of us .” He announced pushing a button on hia remote .
A needle stabbed into my skin sedating me , taking away the
simple privilege of begging for mercy as the electronic tools of the chair
opened up my skin , pouring chemicals and awful smelling substances inside of
me , turning me into an ugly blob like Jessica , Ted and Rodney and probably
every other student here .
As I started losing consciousness , I saw the principal laughing hysterically just
like Ted did earlier , his skin was reddening , fangs grew out of his mouth , a tale broke out from the
back of his pants and horns rose up
ripping the skin from the top of his head .
And all I could think of , was how right the old lady was.
