Roll no. 6

P1: My name is Anthony. Anthony Parker. My family just shifted in Canada. I was not excited to move from that house. The place where we lived before was a bit noisy,the street outside was full whole day. Even at night the dogs would start barking so there was not any creepy silence which is there in our new house. We shifted here because mom got a transfer here from her company and dad wouldn't let her go alone. So I had to stick with mom and dad,our house is far away from the main town. There are no kids to play in the neighbourhood and school is 8 km away. In fact, there's no one living in our neighbouring houses. The new school of mine is starting from tomorrow and I bet it is not going to be nice.. P2: "Anthony,catch!" Said my new friend Steve. It was Sunday today and I have already made a new friend here in this school. Steve is a nice guy. He always visits me at weekends. I kidd you not,my new school is weird. There's a guy named Alex in the B division,and he always keeps telling me the curse behind roll no. 6. I think it is because he just wants to scare me out cause my roll no. is 6 or is he telling truth. Everytime the teacher calls my roll no. everybody's mood transfers from fun to serious. Even the teacher stutters to take my no. But Steve says they are just trying to scare me and that's what they do with every new student but the way Alex keeps on talking is just CREEPY...

P3: Ok, now I am really convinced that there is something dark behind my roll no., yesterday when I was buying a soda from the vending machine, I saw something unusual behind me. When I turned back I saw nothing. It was someone from our school,I thought,then I walked across the hallway. When I was walking, I realized someone is following me. A chill rolled down my spine. "Anthony,come fast!" My P.E teacher called out. Then,I ran across the hallway and arrived in my class and went on with Steve. I exited from my bus and saw that there was a lock on the door, I checked the doormat and found the key, then I realised... I was home alone...

P4: I went inside and saw a glass of juice and a sandwich on the table. I figured it would be there for me by mom. I went near it and gasped! There was a nite and it said, 'To Anthony for stealing my ex roll no.' I was so shocked, I almost got a heart attack. Then, I heard a laugh from behind,when I turned back I saw Steve! "HaHaHa! Gotcha!" He said laughing continuously. "STEVE! Are you dumb or something?!, I almost died here!", "Ok I apologise,but your reaction was priceless when you saw that note". I took the plate and sat on the sofa with Steve. We spent some time watching TV. Then we were bored and just... Started sleeping. As we slept,someone crept in the house. He had broke the front window and was knocking continuously in my parent's room...

P5: And when I thought things wouldn't go any worse,Steve had to pee. And the problem was that the toilet was downstairs and we were sleeping upstairs. "I cannot hold anymore, Anthony!" He was running here and there. I told him to keep quiet but he just wasn't able to control. So,we made a plan,we decided to get out of room and bang that guy's head with my baseball bat. But a new problem growed again,Steve was too frightened to do this so I was all alone in this plan. I peeped out of door and to my surprise,that stalker wasn't there! I signalled Steve and then he ran downstairs like a horse. But I was not so sure that the stalker left. I went in mom and dad's room and the guy who was knocking on the door was uncle Marv...

P6: It turns out that uncle Marv was told to be with me and Steve cause apparently my parents and Steve's parents were gone to Hawaii to relax their mind. And the sound of window breaking was actually sound of breaking of my favourite cup. And I forgot to give him water and Steve was gonna stay with me for a month. And uncle Marv is a pretty cool guy. We got a nice grilled sandwich for breakfast and for lunch he made a nice vegetable curry and rice. I didn't knew he was a chef. Later that night we watched horror movies cause he said at Friday's we celebrate movie night. We woke up early next morning and went out for a jog...

P7: In all these things one thing I've been noticing is that I'm seeing the number 6 too much. I mean, we went to the subway last Sunday and our bill was 66$. And we went to play golf after that and our kart number was 6 and while returning home the seat on which I was sitting was the 6th from the front(in the bus). When I arrived at home the time was 6:00pm. I thought it is just a coincidence but when I went to school, 6 students were absent from 6 different classes. When I went to vending machine, everything's price was changed to 6 cents. I was quiet all the way till home. When I reached home I watched TV and the show which going on had started on 6:00 am and was going to end at 6:00 pm. I was too much terrified looking at this..

P8: I ignored this all and went to sleep. When I was sleeping I heard someone calling my name. The sound was echoing in my mind. "Anthony,Anthony Parker. You are so dead". I woke up, I was all filled with sweat. It was morning. 'Relax Anthony,it was just a dream,no,not a dream,it was a horrible nightmare; but relax it cannot harm you". I tried to calm myself down. It was a nice Sunday and I decided to make it count. I wore my favourite baseball jersey along with a track pant. I went outside and called Steve. We played some baseball then we just sat under the nice shadow of a tree. Uncle Marv came outside. Suddenly a chill rolled down my back, something held my hand tightly. I tried to shake it hard, I called out for Steve and gasped! Instead of Steve there was a skeleton. When I looked around I was no more in my yard. I was in a dark room with the skeleton..

P9: I tried to push the door off but it was closed too tightly. I started taking long breathes to calm myself down. All of a sudden,the door opened on its own. I decided to go out,whe I went out I saw a familiar hallway. I started walking and realized it was the pathway of my school. When I gazed around,I saw a date carved on the door of a classroom and it said '24th February 1992'. I was confused at first but then remember that it was the death date of Elisa Gutenberg. And guess what she was the girl who had the roll no. 6 before me. So I think that Alex was right all along. I think she is trying to take revenge. Suddenly the tile beneath my floor dissapeared and...
