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.
