Spooked Out!!

It was a stormy night at Blue Hills Academy. The four friends: Lily, Mia, Lucy and Coco were snoring peacefully in their beds. Gusty winds were blowing and it started raining heavily....

Lucy woke up, startled. She screeched loudly, "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Mia heard her cry so she asked "Hey, Lucy, What's happening ? Why did you scream? Is everything alright?"

Lucy was frightened, so she pulled the covers on top of herself.

After about an hour or half, all the friends heard spooky noises, It seemed as a wolf were growling loudly, in anger. All the girls woke up and started asking each other, "What if it's a ghost ?? I am so scared!! Help!!!"

Coco said, "Girls, I think we should be brave. Let's see who it is. Don't worry, everything will be fine!!" All the girls agreed. 

They tip-toed through the door and went straight towards the headmaster's office, thinking that an intruder could be stealing stuff from the place. They carefully opened the door and went inside. Lily tried to turn on the lights, but it seemed the lights were gone. "I think it's a power cut, after all, it's raining cats and dogs!!" Lucy observed.

"Hey! I spotted a flashlight which was kept on the headmaster's chair. I grabbed it. I'm sure it'll be helpful!" Mia said, grinning.

"Thankyou so much Mia", said a grateful Coco.

They turned on the flashlight and started observing the situation. 

"Let's split in different directions. This way, we can catch the intruder sooner." Lily suggested. 

Lily went towards the north and Coco towards the south. Mia went towards the right and Lucy towards the left.

Mia was walking through the store room. Suddenly, she heard a strange ruffling noise. "Who's there?" Mia called out. But no one replied.

In the mean time, Lucy was heading towards the canteen. She was walking towards the cash-counter, when suddenly a skeleton popped behind her and howled, "Wooooooooooooooooo!!!" Lucy fainted with fright!

 Coco, spotted some wolves in the garden. They were growling loudly. She quickly ran towards her friend, Lucy. "Ahhhh!!! Help!!!! Lucy!! Wake up!!!!!!" she screeched with horror. 

Well, now, what mysterious tricks happened with Lily? Don't ask me, its scary!! But still,I'll tell you! Lily went towards the classrooms. When she stepped inside Classroom no. 13, she found stains of blood on the benches!!! Just like Lucy, she fainted on spot! 

"And......Cut! Good Job, team!! Outstanding work!!" a male voice said. 

Coco, who was trying to wake up Lucy, heard the voice. It seemed to be coming from the Staff Room. With her heart pounding inside her chest, she went towards the staff room. What she saw, made Coco laugh! 

The male voice belonged to a person who was a film director. He was actually shooting a movie scene, here, at the academy. Coco greeted the director, "Hello, Sir!"

The director greeted her back and said, laughing, "Oh, Hello! I hope you didn't get freaked out! We're shooting here for a movie project. It's called, 'Night in a haunted School'. It's releasing on 25th December, 2021."

Coco ran to inform her friends about the scenario. 

Finally, when all the friends came, Coco blurted out the whole story. "Oh! Was it really just a movie shooting?! Well, I fainted when I saw those blood stains!" said Lily. 

Well, you see, dear readers, it wasn't really haunted by some ghost! It was just a director and his crew, filming a movie!! Did you get scared?

Well, if you ask me, I really got scared while writing this story!! Hahahah!!

Cheers!
