room.

His friends Coward Guy and Sargun were playing foosball. Waris questioned them about
what they were doing there and told them that free periods were over. Waris and those
two friends have a good conversation and then he gets to know that there are no teachers
in the staff room. Waris is then asked by his friends to play with them and bunk the class
because they did not do their homework. He agrees hesitatingly.

Now in the sports room it was just three of them enjoying and having fun playing foosball.
Suddenly a big board behind them falls. Behind the board, there was a bit good amount of
space like a storeroom. The space was full because of different stuff like chairs, cartons,
sports equipment, etc. They saw the body of a girl hanging just above them. The body
appeared dead and it was hung by a rope tied to the neck of the body and the ceiling.
They were in a moment of shock and terror. Just in a moment, a body was hanging above
them, they ran. They ran upstairs but their terror increased by double as they saw there
were no teachers, no students, not a single person in classrooms. Everyone disappeared.
One of the people looked outside the window and what he saw was devastating. The
weather outside was scary and dark. Not losing hope they searched the upper floor but
they found no one, Waris suggested they should go to the gate. They ran towards the
gate. It was as like their life was turned upside down. They reached the gate but their
expectations were drowned when they turned and it closed slowly. they were in a
complete disappointment.

Their disappointment turned into terror when a locker side by opened and blood came
out. Followed by blood was a hand appearing suddenly. They freaked out and started
sprinting towards their floor but they suddenly realized there was someone. Someone
standing just behind them, they could feel the breathing. They were even more sure when
along with breathing growling sound came from behind. Waris asked them not to look
back. The coward guy was consumed by terror and then a hand came from behind and in
a moment his waist was wrapped around the hands and they pulled him backward. The
other two people looked backward immediately they got confused and scared. They
turned back and started looking for their friend. They saw him but they could tell
something was fishy and wrong. They then started calling his name but he did not
respond. Sargun taps his shoulder, and that possessed person looks up and screams.

The other two friends started sprinting to the footsal ground outside being chased by their
possessed friend through the back gate. Sargun sprains his ankle and falls off. WARIS sees
the possessed one coming towards him while he’s still trying to make SARGUN move. He
steps away from SARGUN as the possessed one approaches closer. WARIS runs towards
the medical room in order to grab a pair of scissors to save his friend.

nightmare and he rubbed his eyes with red-blooded hands. Some blood gets on his face as
well; he sees his blooded reflection in the mirror in the teacher’s locker. Waris freaks out.
