There were three friends named Tim, John and Matt. They were so excited for Halloween this year! Except Matt, who thought they were too old for trick-or-treating. He didnโ€™t think it was scary enough.

Matt tells his friends, “Tell me when you got something scary to do because we are going into high school and I am sick of getting toothbrushes from people!โ€ 

Tim said to John, โ€œWe canโ€™t go without Matt.โ€ Both boys thought they came up with an idea Matt would like better.

Halloween came and Tim and John went to Mattโ€™s house and told him about this abandoned school they should spend the night in. Matt agreed and Tim told them to pack for the night.ย 

Tim had one more thing to add, โ€œTell your parents we are sleeping over at Mattโ€™s house, and Matt, make sure that your sister doesn’t know.โ€ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย 

Then on Halloween night they headed toโ€ฆ..The School.  John said, โ€œCome on, Matt, youโ€™re not SCARED, are you?โ€ 

Matt said โ€œNO WAY,โ€ and acted like he had done this before. As the three friends said their last prayers they entered the old, empty school. Matt said that a lot of people died here, but he said that just to make them scared. They walked through the two big doors. There was a sign saying KEEP OUT.ย  They walk in, then John says, โ€œLet’s get this party started!โ€

They threw down their bags and ran the rest of the way.ย  Inside, they dance, they watch scary movies and eat too much candy. All of a sudden, then you could hear a school bell ring. Matt checked his watch and IT WAS MIDNIGHT!!!!!!! Just then, they heard the laugh of a little girl, “Hehhehehe.โ€….it was aโ€ฆ.doll? John said, “Was that there before?โ€

Tim whispers, โ€œDo you think we are safe?โ€

 โ€œYa Bro,โ€ John tells him. Just then, they hear a BOOOM and the big doors shut, slam! There was the dollโ€™s laugh again. โ€œHehhhehhhehe.โ€ 

Clearly creeped out now, they try to leave, but they can’t. Matt was going to call his sister, but he realized he forgot his phone. They hear a person coming, and they try to leave again, but a ghost locked the doors BOOOMMMM! Tim said he knew of a secret door they could get to. They reach the secret door safely. They try thinking of a plan. What is that doll? At that same time, Mattโ€™s sister checks her tracking for Mattโ€™s phone and sees they are at the school. So she went to the school looking for them. She goes up some stairs to the roof and looks down on them. โ€œHehehehehe.โ€  

โ€œThe doll!โ€ the boys scream, AHHHHHHHHHHH.

Happy Halloween!
