Josie walked the halls of North View High school. She watched as several senior boys raced past her and slapped the door frames. She adjusted her backpack on her shoulder and pushed open the door to her next class.

“Hi, Josie!” her best friend, Andrew waved to her. She had gotten lucky with her classes, most of them she at least had one friend in.

“Hey”

“Mrs. Holder is out for the week so we have a sub.” Josie heard the girls whispering behind her.

She stretched before taking her seat next to another girl.

“Good morning class.” a gruff voice said.

Josie looked for the direction of the voice and it was coming from the back of the class. Josie could’ve sworn she didn’t see him back there before.

She shrugged it off and the teacher continued, “My name is Mr. Farris. Ill be your teacher for the next week.” He walked to the board and started writing a formula.

He started explaining things, but Josie wasn’t watching. The piece of chalk that was in his hand floated for a brief moment. She rubbed her eyes, theres no way she saw that correctly.

She looked back at Andrew to see if he noticed, but he just looked at her in confusion.

Class dragged on and Josie still noticed little things, like the chair moving by itself and desk drawers flinging open when they weren’t touched.

“Ok, go to lunch.”

She kept her eyes on him as she reached for her backpack and waited for Andrew to pack his stuff up.

As soon as they were out of the classroom, Josie explained what she saw.

“Jo, you’re probably just tired.”

“I’m serious. Theres no way I hallucinated that.”

“You know how you are in the morning.” Andrew chuckled.

Josie rolled her eyes, “Well i’m skipping lunch to watch him”

“Don’t go by yourself….” his voice trailed off.

“Ok, come with me.”

“Lunch food isn’t that good anyways.” He flung his backpack over his shoulder.

Josie and Andrew made their way back to the classroom and took turns peeking through the window on the door.

“Did you see that!” Josie yelled in a whisper.

“Sure did, thats crazy. Also in class, I swear he wasn’t in the back of the classroom.”

“Thats what I thought. Did he walk through the wall?” Josie responded

“I don’t know. We need to watch out for him.”

“I suppose”

The pair continued to peek through the window as a flood of students walked past them.

“We should probably get out of here, I don’t want him to see us.” Andrew decided.

“You’re right” She agreed.

As they turned to look at each other, Andrew looked back in the room. He had to do a double take because the teacher vanished! He turned his head again and the teacher was standing in front of them, causing Josie to scream.

“Its rude to eavesdrop on people.” the teacher said with a creepy smile and menacing voice.
