New Year's Greetings
We want to start 2014 in the best possible way: with genius.
These delightful horror stories were written by 3º ESO students, we think they are a bright beginning for a year that we hope full of experiences for everyone.


THE 23rd GIRL

Many years ago, Olivia was a happy student. She studied at Miguel Servet high school, in Zaragoza. She had a lot of friends, wonderful parents, good marks and a beautiful house, but she didn’t have a boyfriend. One day, when she was going to the library, she met a boy. She asked him where he was going. They were going to the same place. By chance, they were studying for the same exam, so they studied together. The next day he was very friendly with her, and she fell in love. The day of the exam, he wasn’t at school, so she asked for him. Her teacher told her that he had died in 1983. In the afternoon she met him in the street.
- Are you a ghost? asked her.
- Yes, and I know that you fell in love with me. So now, I’ll give you three days, and on the fourth, if you don’t marry me, you’ll die.
At the wedding, she was very sad, because she loved him, but she didn’t want to be a ghost forever. She was afraid, and she didn’t know what to do. At the altar she said:
- I’m sorry, but you’re a ghost, my answer is no.
- Are you leaving me because I’m a ghost? I’m really angry, because I loved you, too. Goodbye, Olivia.
Suddenly, a sword appeared flying from somewhere and cut her neck. He hanged her on the stairs, just where they met for the first time. Then he smiled.

- Who’s next?

THE GHOST BRIDe

Once upon a time there was  a secondary teacher who worked in a high school. She was shy and not very sociable. She often was object of ridicule by the students and other teachers.
She was teaching Geography and one day, after school, she met the literature teacher in the corridor. They began talking and they went for a coffee. Then, they went out for lunch and for dinner. At the end, they started dating.
He wanted to keep it a secret and, as she was in love, she didn't care. After a while, she saw him laughing whit another teachers and she felt jealous. She asked him why they had to keep it a secret and he calmed her telling her that he only loved her and when the school year finished they would marry. 
She believed him, but jealously was still there. She thought that every day he was cheating on her with a different teacher. The last day of school she decided to give a surprise to her boyfriend, and to show him the dress that she had bought for the wedding.
She knew he was in the geography classroom and entered smiling. But she wiped off the smile at seeing her boyfriend kissing the French teacher goodbye. She got angry and started beating him. He lost his balance and fell out of the window. Then, she went up to the window sill and shouted “Not even death will separate us” and leapt into the void.
Since then, on Halloween nights she wanders the halls looking for the soul of that teacher to marry him.
