Short Story: Eagle Cage High School

“We eat in the teachers lounge. I wouldn’t even try the cafeteria food. God, it tastes like crap.” I giggle. Is he joking? “Um. are we even aloud to go in there?” The boy rolls his eyes. “Heck no. But there’s nothing wrong with a little, trouble, right?” he winks, and pulls me closer to him. “Right,” I lie, and follow him over to the so-called teachers lounge. The lounge is much nicer the cafeteria-there are large padded chairs, a snack bar, and no teachers in sight. “Where are they?” I question. The boy shrugs. “The other lounge. It’s much nicer, but you gotta work with what you got, right?” He’s doing the “Right?” thing again. “Right,” I lie once more. He begins to serve himself at the snack bar. I’m surprised at how he does things so easily without feeling even a tinge of guilt. “Cheese or salami sandwhich?” he says. “Surprise me.” Oh, now its like I’m flirting with him. Great. Suddenly, the door of the lounge swings open, and out rush out three of what seem like the boys’ friends. Sure enough, he introduces them to me: Raven; who has spikes sticking out of every area of her clothing, Byron; who has seemed to beat the record for piercings on one ear; and then himself, who turned out to be named

Homecoming night. As I waited for Liam to show up I paced back and forth. "Sissy you're still here?" Jace asked me. "Yes bubba. I'm waiting on Liam."I said firmly. "Liams coming?" he screamed. "Just to pick me up Jace." I said annoyed. He ran out, I felt a little bad. Jace and Sadie loved Liam, and Liam loved them. As I stopped mid thought I heard a horn honking. "Liams here!" Jace came running back into the family room where I hugged him and my younger sister. "Sorry i'm a little late." Liam apologized. "It's okay." I affirmed. As we drove in silence to the school I decided to break the silence. "Liam," I whispered, "there something I have to tell you." "What's wrong Analise?" he questioned. "I've been seeing things." I admitted. "Like what kind of things?" he asked. "I have seen shadows of things watching me," I shuffled as I said it " I don't know if I want to go to Homecoming." "That's fine we can go back to your house and watch movies." "Thanks for understanding Liam." I

There is a school in Rhode Island called Opequonsett High. It is full of jocks, mean girls, and popular kids. Hidden deep inside of the crowd are what you might call the outfitters. Vice Principal Mr. Brenigan wants anything BUT outfitters! The kids who did not fit in were usually the ones who got into trouble. Stella got in trouble for wearing an inappropriate shirt. Wen got in trouble for using bad words in class and Mo got in trouble for skipping class and behaving badly. They all got in big trouble for what they did. While they were in detention, a catchy song started playing. Wen started tapping his foot to the beat, then Stella started tapping on the desk. Finally Mo began humming along. They sounded

“Bye McKenzie! See you next year!” exclaimed my friend Kimberly, as i walked to my parents vehicle. I had finished my first year of high school successfully at Brooks County High. As I got into the vehicle my parents greeted me with a curious looking smile on their faces. I smiled back and wondered what news they were hiding from my brother, sister, and I. I asked my brother and sister if they knew what was going on, but they did not know. The suspense was almost unbearable for me to handle.

Everything was the same, well except for Finn and Jessica. Finn was Charlie’s best friend since before he could remember, and Jessica was the love of Charlie’s life. “Hey Charlie boy!” Finn shouted. “Hi Charlie.” Jessica murmured timdly. “Hey guys. Man this place stinks, and I’ll just never get used to waking up every morning for something I hate.” Charlie grunted. “I hate it too man, but my Pops would kill me if I didn't get good marks, and I mean kill me.” Finn explained. “Same here Charlie, I don’t think anyone really likes school, but I do well anyways. You know maybe we could all study together sometime.” Jessica said. Charlie jumped on this opportunity to hang with Jessica outside of school. “Yes! I mean um...sure I will see if I can.” Charlie eagerly said. Charlie glanced around and noticed a guy standing against a locker down the hall. “Hey guys, I should probably get to class.” Charlie said skeptically. “What do you mean Charlie? There is still 10 minutes until class starts.” Finn questioned. “ I just got to go man!” Charlie said. As Charlie approached the boy against the locker, he reached into his bag for the money he

We pull up to the May Wood County High School, my mom quickly drives off as I get out of the car. I turn to the building, not even two seconds after looking at it, a lady in black comes up to me and grabs my arm. "You need to get in the school before the bell rings young man!" Her voice was eerie in a sense. She dragged me into the building, standing there were tons of other students talking to their friends and socializing. The lady walks back outside to "greet" the other late students. I stand in the middle of the sea of students, not knowing what to do. Everyone was eyeing me and I could definitely hear them talking about me, all of a sudden the bell rang and the flock of kids moved down the hall to their first period. I had to take a quick

Aziz got out of bed right as his alarm clock went off. He was ecstatic for the day ahead. He needed to hop in the shower and then eat breakfast before he could start the exciting part of his day. Today was the day for high school basketball tryouts at Glenn High School. Aziz shouldn’t be nervous, but he was. He couldn’t think about anything other than tryouts and was extremely scared of missing all his shots. He could just picture himself going up for layup after layup; the ball barely grazing the rim on every shot he took. He tried not to think about it, but it just wouldn’t erase from his mind. But once he got in the shower he started to relax just a little bit. He rinsed his body and was calming himself down. It was around nine thirty in the morning, and try outs were at eleven thirty. He could have slept longer if he wanted, but his body wouldn’t do it. He needed to get to that gym. He wanted to eat a healthy breakfast, so he got out some pots and pans and started cooking himself some eggs, bacon, grits, and sausage. Right after he finished cooking it, he wolfed

The sun appeared over the horizon, painting the sky in countless warm golden shades. The rising sun brought with it the awakening of the people and the city started to slowly emerge from its nightly hibernation as the roads filled with vehicles that seemed to roar in the crisp morning air, As the workplaces slowly filled the noise of the roads died down as people started to go about their daily routine content with the habitual life that they continued to live. This would not stay true for the students of Steele high school for much longer.

Super confident I was. Confident that I would would make it out the zombie horror house without a scream. As I approached the entrance door, my heart began to drop slowly and horrifically. As I walked inside all I saw what seemed to look like a hospital type of theme. A door barricaded with the words “DON’T OPEN DEAD INSIDE”. All the lights broken, wires hanging down the ceiling and blood all through out the floor. As I turned the corner I saw a door, as I walked inside it seemed to be a way out that lead me to a field. A large field filled with crops and grass as I walked further in I began to see to something that seemed to be red. It was blood scattered all over the floor, as a look further I saw what seemed to be half of a zombie's body still dead but alive crawling towards me. I tried my best to avoid it but some how it got near me I
