Week of Horror, Andrea Diaz [classic children's novels txt] 📗

Chapter 1

"Aaahhhh!"

A loud shriek was heard. A girl on the floor slowly awoke to it. She had been unconscious. She looked around and found herself in the dark basement of her school. She slowly began to remember the terrifying week.

A week ago she remembered being at Lisa's house. It was Saturday and she was going to stay for the week they had off.

"Finally a week off from school. Thanks for letting me sleep over at your house for the week Lisa."

"Your welcome Ariel, it's going to be fun to have you over."

"So I was thinking we can go hang out with the guys tomorrow."

"By guys do you mean Logan."

"Well he is part of the group."

The girls smiled at each other.

"So how does it feel to date one of the hottest guys in school?"

"It's amazing! I just love him and he loves me."

Ariel smiled as she thought of her boyfriend.

"Ariel, I need to tell you something."

Ariel looked over at Lisa.

"I saw Tina flirting with Logan yesterday."

"Was he flirting back?"

"Well no but..."

"Then there's no problem."

Ariel interrupted and smiled as she fixed her pillow.

"It's just...he really didn't stop her nor did he act like he was bothered by it."

"Lisa, it's cool. We all know how Tina is with the guys. Especially my guys. She wants whatever I have. Let's just go to bed, okay?"

"Alright."

The girls turned off the light and went to bed.

In the morning they got ready and headed to the mall.

They were heading to the food court when Ariel spotted Logan, then she saw Tina and Rosie flirting with him.

"Hey babe!" She yelled as she smiled and walked to him.

"Hey."

They hugged each other and Ariel gave him a kiss.

"Oh, hey Tina, hey Rosie."

She looked at them and smiled acting like she just saw them.

"Hello Ariel. See you later Logan. Come on Rosie."

Tina waved to him with a smile and walked away, Rosie following along, just as Lisa came up to them.

"Hey Logan."

"Hey. Look David's coming."

The girls turned and saw David walking with Allen. They were walking towards them when David bumped into Ethan.

"Watch where you're going nerd."

David turned and saw the three of them.

"Hey guys."

"What's up, you going to the shop today?" Logan asked David.

"Yeah. You?"

"Of course he isn't because he is going to be spending time with his girl."

"Oh get over yourself Ariel."

"Shut up David."

"Sorry David but I'm going to be with Ariel today."

"Alright whatever. So how about you girls go do your girly stuff and we will go do our things."

"Whatever, bye babe."

Ariel kissed Logan then turned and walked away.

"Bye guys." Lisa walked behind her but turned and waved to the guys.

"Bye Lisa." The boys said in unison.

Then Ariel and Lisa walked into the beauty salon.

The boys were still sitting in the same place where the girls had left them. Just as they were talking David stops and walks over to Ethan.

"What's up, buddy?"

Ethan turns to look at David just as David grabs his comic book.

"Whatcha reading?"

"David please, I just got it. It's limited edition. I had to save a lot of money for it."

"Oh well, we wouldn't want anything to happen to it."

Logan walked over to them as he saw David take the comic book.

"David, come on man. Just give him the comic book back."

Logan grabbed the book but David kept a hold of it. Logan attempted to take it but instead the comic book ripped in half.

Ethan looked at the book in shock then quickly turned to David furious.

"What the hell!"

Ethan pushed David then Logan stepped in between them.

"Dude relax, it was an accident."

Ethan grabbed the two halves of his comic book then left.

"What's your freaking problem?"

Logan turned away from David and walked back to where they had been.

Chapter 2

Later that day David went home and got ready for work. He went to the auto shop and began to work. It was getting late and David was about to leave when his boss stopped him.

"Hey David, do you think you can stay a little longer and close up?"

"Sure thing."

"Alright, thanks. See you tomorrow."

His boss left and David began to clean up. As he was working on a car he hears something and sits up.

"Who's there?"

No one responds.

He stood up and opened the car door. Suddenly a dark figure appeared behind him. Before David could turn around the crow bar slammed into his head. David fell to the floor as his attacker repeatedly slammed the crow bar to his head, splattering blood everywhere. Then harshly stabbing him with it, leaving the crow bar where it was, right through David.

Ariel and Lisa woke up to Ariel's phone ringing.

Ariel reached for her phone and answered.

"Hello?"

"Ariel." Logan sounded as if he was panicking and sad.

"Babe? What's wrong?"

"I think you and Lisa should come down to the auto shop."

"What? Why?"

"It's David. He's dead."

"What? We'll be there as soon as we can."

Ariel quickly hung up and got up.

"What's wrong?"

Lisa sat up and stared as Ariel quickly looked for her shoes.

"David's dead."

"What!"

Lisa got up, beginning to panic.

"We need to go to the auto shop. Now."

Lisa nodded and they both put on their shoes. They ran outside and got into Ariel's car.

Once they got to the auto shop they quickly got out and Ariel ran to Logan. Just as they reached him they carried out David's body in the black bag.

"Oh my god." Ariel looked away and Logan hugged her.

Lisa's eyes began to get teary as she watched them put his body inside the car.

Ariel looked up at Logan, "What the hell happened?"

"I don't know. My boss is the one who found him. I got here when the cops were already inside. They wouldn't let me in."

"How did he die?"

"All I know is that he got killed."

"Oh my god."

Ariel pulled Logan away and took him to their usual spot in the mall.

"I can't believe he's dead." Logan looked down trying to deny his best friend's death.

"What could've happened?" Lisa sat down across from them and looked at Logan.

They sat and mourned their friend's death.

Ethan walked up to them.Logan looked up then looked back down at the table, "What do you want Berns?"

Ethan opened his mouth to speak but before any word came out, Tina and Rosie came up behind Logan.

"Beat it nerd."

Ethan looked at Tina with such anger then walked away from them.

"I heard what happened to David. You know Logan, if you need anything I'm right here." She smiled and leaned towards him as Ariel stared at her furiously.

"Leave me alone, Tina. I have no patience for either of you two today."

Tina stepped back shocked.

Tina and Rosie became furious as Ariel smiled.

"You will regret this, Logan Grant."

"Trust us, you will."

They turned and walked away from them.

Chapter 3

Later that day Logan worked out in the school's weight room then stopped and thought about David's death.

'My best friend is dead.'

Upset, he quickly stood up and put his earphones on, then began to play his music. He reaches for two dumbbells when suddenly he was hit on the head with a weight and fell to the floor. The assailant stood above Logan holding a 45 lb plate. The assailant then bent over towards him and began to brutally smash the plate against Logan 's head. Blood splattered everywhere as Logan's skull slowly gave in and crushed.

Ariel and Lisa woke up the next morning in Lisa's room.

"Good morning, Ariel."

"What's so great?"

Lisa finished getting ready as Ariel walked into the bathroom.

"I'm really sorry Ariel but I need to go to the school. Do you mind dropping me off?"

Ariel stepped out of the bathroom.

"Of course. We'll leave once I'm done."

They drove over to the school once Ariel was dressed. Ariel drove in front of the school when they were stopped by the police.

They both got off and looked towards the school.

"What do you think is going..."

Lisa interrupted Ariel and pointed towards an older couple speaking to of some police officers.

"Hey isn't that Logan's parents?"

Ariel looked over and saw the couple.

She quickly recognized them, "It is. What are they doing here?"

She closed the door and walked over towards them. She saw Mrs. Grant beginning to cry into her hands as Mr. Grant reached over, wrapping his arm around her.

Ariel quickly rushed to them.

"Mr. Grant, Mrs. Grant. What's going on? What's wrong?"

Mrs. Grant looked at Ariel, sadness burning threw her eyes.

"Sweetie..." She attempted to speak but her hopeless broken heart was in agony and did not allow her to speak.

Mr. Grant turned to Ariel, "Ariel, we were just informed that...our son...Logan..." He paused unable to continue.

Ariel began to worry and then looked over to the main building's door just as they carried Logan's body out in the black bag.

Ariel's eyes began to get teary then she shook her head, "No. No! Not him!"

She ran towards the men carrying the body. Just before she reached them an officer stopped her.

"Ma'am please, you can't be over here."

"No! Let me go! I need to see. I have to check. It's not him, it can't be."

Ariel cried as the officer held her. She began to feel weak, unable to stand, when suddenly she fainted.

Tragic fell upon the small town as they watched their familiar anchor lady announce the devastating news of yet another high school student killed.

Some mourned throughout the day trying to accept the truth while others attempted to keep going through their days, not allowing grief take over.

As difficult as it was to get permission to enter, Tina was in the chemistry lab working on a project for her class. Silence filled the halls and rooms when a figure swiftly passed the opened door. Tina turned but didn't see anything then turned back to her experiment. As she was slowly pouring the liquid into the beaker the dark figure appeared behind her. She quickly turned and opened her mouth in attempt to scream. Unfortunately her scream was masked by a gag as the killer had grabbed a beaker from the table and threw it at her face. Her attacker set the beaker down, which read 'sulfuric acid', back on the table. The killer then walked towards Tina who was walking back towards the window, holding her face in pain as the acid tore away her skin. She bumped into the opened window then her assailant grabbed her legs and pushed her out the second floor window, her body gruesomely splattering to the floor with a spine-tingling crushing sound.

Minutes later, one of the
