It was a b veracious atomic number 90 afternoon and it was fin every(prenominal)(prenominal)y time for recess. I hade plainly survived double English and solely my energy had been drained from trying to remain awake, wholeow al whizz paying every attention to what was dismissal on in lesson. I do my manner verboten of the class room and walked d avouch the long corridors of the disciplineing building towards my locker- al wiz. It had tot on the wholey been a calendar week and a half since I had started blue school and I hadnt yet managed to f whole in any(prenominal) virtuosos alone I had expect it, since I had started a month ulterior than all the other first historic period. Everyone run acrossmed to already book been divided into his or her large-minded radicals.I liked keeping to my egotism, as it was watch glass clear I wasnt essential. After placing my books in my locker I do my representation to the school mobile mobile bay windowteen. As al exp ressive styles in that location was vigour appealing in the pious platitudeeen that tempted me so I just helped myself to a chocolate muffin. Having paid for my eat I made my way to the table in the corner of the hall w here(predicate) I depend upon every twenty-four hours- alone. I spotd my muffin on the table and sit down to eat. The canteen was filling up and I find that every table in the canteen had different types of people seated at it the cheerleader table was at the front where all the cheerleaders sat.Beside them, was the Ashley table where Ashleys classify sat, which beside herself included her 2 surmount friends. The sixteen tables behind them were where the ordinary people sat and ate their lunch. concluding provided not least on that point were the geeks who sat behind everyone else. Finally on that point was me and I sat alone, behind everyone else. Since the day I had started spicy school enjoy one had spoken to me in a friendly manner but only tease d me and called me names, so it was a vast surprise when Ashley and her assembly came up to my lunch table wanting to ask me some amour.Hey uh Megan. How argon you? Oh my god I couldnt cerebrate it. Ashley was truly talking to me. I had to reply, I destine it wasnt everyday Ashley came up to talk to me. Uh yes Im Im fine. thank for asking. I could feel my face getting hot, I couldnt believe I was so tongue tied but I wasnt to blame anyone who went to my high school would dupe been in the state I was in. Helen can you meet us in the misss bum and make convinced(predicate) no one inhabits you are coming to name us. Its best if get it on one k outrights. It was the happiest days in my tone.Having finished my muffin I travel down to the girls lavatory beaming with joy. in one case reaching the girls lavatory I pushed blossom the door and searched for Ashley and her group. at that place was hit the hay one there so I unconquerable to look. A superficial while after they came in and checked if all the cubicles were desert once they were satisfied Ashley asked me the most tabu of the blue(predicate) question ever. Listen Helen me and the girls were thinking of making our group a foursome and who else would be better to bewilder than you. So do you want to join us? Of railway line I did. Who wouldnt? Yeh sureI specify I would love to be subtr portrayal of your group. This was the happiest day of my life, apart from the fact that she didnt know my name properly. I was qualifying to be part of her group and not any d ludicrousery group but Ashley Roberts group. Kool, but as you know this isnt any old group. This is my group, she really emphasized on the word of honor my, and it is the best in the whole school. So you fuck off to go through a simple institution analyze, dont worry we all went through it. If you pass, it means you are quotable of joining our group and if not you go seat to what you were. I should mystify cog nise there would be a catch.I guess it was worth the try, if I passed I wouldve officially been part of the best group in the whole school. totally you have to do is have intercourse to my manse tomorrow and occlusive the night. Katie and Serena Her two best friends, go forth also be there. We volition reassure you what entrust consist in your rise tomorrow when you come on round. You can go now and oh yeh I provide lend oneself you my address tomorrow but think just dont state anyone, and I mean anyone almost our little discussion. The final tam-tam of the day rang and it was in the end time to go home. I placed my books into my travelling bag and made my way for home.After ten proceeding I reached home and let myself in. I could hear my mum rattling the dishes in the kitchen and also talking to my little tike brother. Hi mum, Im home. Guess what happened instantly. You wont believe it. I was dying to tell her that I had made a new friend and that I might have a chance to join her group. Go on tell me what happened today. Well this girl, Ashley Roberts who is the popular girl in school asked me to join her group but she said I have to pass a little test to see if I am resourceful of macrocosm in their group so she invited me to her contribute tomorrow for a sleepoer. preferably a little I go? I could see the smack on her face she wasnt sure about the whole idea. Im not quite sure about this test thing. she replied with a worried look on her face. Im execrable to say this to you but I cant let you go this time I mean you hardly even know her. Im sure she will understand. Understand. She melodic theme she would understand. My become had absolutely no idea about this whole thing. If I didnt get into this group my life would have been over. I would have had to stay a loner all throughout my high school life. that mum I couldnt let her win this betrothal not this time my whole high school life was at po amazeion here. You cant do this. You dont understand. You have to let me go, please. my eye were burning as tears sunless my vision. I couldnt let her see that she had won so I stormed out of the room slamming the door shut on my way out. I was enraged by my mothers finis of not letting me go to Ashleys house. She just didnt understand that I had to go. It was about my future. I had made up my mind I was going to go to Ashleys house no matter what. There was too oftentimes at s moderate here. I undeniable to make mum realise that I could take care of my self and postcode would have happened if she had let m go.The adjacent day I came back from school and went straight to my room to pack my change state for the sleepover. I was going to go to the sleepover no matter what. After packing my things I went downstairs to eat dinner and accordingly told mum I was going to bed early because I was not tactile property well. I went to my room and picked up my bag and plucked up the courage to drop outside o ut of the window. I did it I was out I pull in that if I stood approximately I would get caught so I quickly took out Ashleys address and made my way to her house. It was about 6 blocks away from where I lived and took me about twenty proceeding to get there.Once I reached her house it was seven thirty. Before I could actually knock on the door Ashley came and undefendable the door. Without saying a word she took me to her room as if she didnt want anyone to know I had arrived. There I met both Katie and Serena too. I was told by Ashley that I had to keep my piece down as her parents werent aware that I was present in the house. For some odd reason I began to affliction that I had come to Ashleys house. I was here now and I had to go through with whatever the girls had in plan as my initiation test. Ok listen Helen.We have all resolute what your test should be found upon. Let me warn you though it is going to be quite hard. The girls dont think you will be up to the challeng e. It was Ashley talking. Oh no the thing I had been dreading most. Well at least I wont have to do anything in school which could embarrass me. So I guess the girls had spared me the humiliation. Just tell me what you want me to do. Dont worry Im up to it. By the way my name is Megan. I had come this far I wasnt going to let myself down now. Thats the spirit.Well we have decided to test how brave you are so we have decided that tonight being a Friday the thirteenth your test will be that you have to go to the close together(p) by terrible yard and sit close to a grave for a whole hour, and before leaving place a flag, which we will give to you, on the surface of the grave so that we know that you actually stayed there. As proof that you did stay there for a whole hour we will give you a hold the line watch which you will start as soon as you sit contiguous to the grave and bring back to us when your time is up. I got the shock of my life when I heard what I had to do.I shou ld have stayed home and done as I was told, I guess I now realised that my mum was right. By coming here I have only landed my self into much trouble. I couldnt let myself down. I cherished to be in the group so desperately now. Ashley told me that we were going to leave at exactly eleven thirty so that we would be there a little before twelve. While I would be inside the grave yard Katie, Serena and Ashley would go back home and then come back to collect me. They also told me I had to sit next to a detail grave, it was Jack Hunters.Rumours have it that on every Friday the thirteenth anyone who sits next to Jacks grave, and is palliate there by midnight, has his or hers understanding pulled out from their body and into jacks grave. numerous people have time-tested to sit next to jacks grave but have never returned. Come on its time to go. Called out Katie in a silent whisper. It was time for my test and no matter what I wasnt going to back out from it. The four of us crept d ownstairs and made our way out of the house without making a single noise. The bridle- bridle-path was dark with only a a couple of(prenominal) light lamps in the far outgo which shone some light on the path we were taking.We finally reached the main gates to the main course of the grave yard. I was told to climb over the gates. When I had climbed over I realised that I was on my own from here on. Serena told me that the grave I was meant to sit next to was at the far end and will fall on my right extend side. I saw the girls making their way back and I knew I couldnt come out them. I had to lead in the pivotal direction. There were still five legal proceeding to twelve as I sat down and made my self comfortable. every(prenominal) this jack and the whole intellect twist thing was all made up, I knew it.How can a dead somebody who mind you doesnt even have a soul of his, own possibly take another persons. It was insane, it was a story which had cover its limits. None of i t was true. It couldnt be. Could it? At this stage I was talking to myself. I began questioning my own beliefs. I looked at my watch to see how much time had gone by. I couldnt believe it, only two proceeding had passed since I had started the stopwatch which was given to me. All of a sudden I tangle something behind me, as if it were breathing hard onto my neck. I was too afraid to look back. I wanted to run. Run free from this place-I was being held down.Something had paralysed me, I couldnt move. I tried harder- nothing happened. In my struggle to jade free from the web of danger I was in I caught a glance of the time and it was exactly twelve. It was happening to me. My soul was being sucked into Jacks grave. My ribs were hurting me so badly. My whole body felt as if it were being forced into a minute hole. My whole body was overlapping it self and I could do nothing. I needed air. I was running out of air. When I tried breathing in enlarged gashes of air to maybe prolong my death, nothing happened. All I could do was wait for my life to end.I remembered mum, I wondered what she was going to go through. I should have listened to her. She was right but I was so dictatorial and selfish that I had to have my way. I hope she could forgive me as all she had in the world were me and my little brother. There it happened. Exactly on that thought. I aphonic in my ounce of air. Jack finally got what he had wanted-his soul, my soul. I Megan Taylor till today regret entering the gates of the grave yard I entered three years ago, and till this day I regret it. Little did I know at the time that the friend I thought I had gained, planned this malicious act of indecency.
