Jerry Nordstrom was a kid who everyone thought hallucinated his life. Even on the things that were closest to him kids would tease him and say “Are you sure you saw that right, Jerry.” This time he knew that this was no hallucination. He had actually saw a ghost. It was white and floating in the air. Jerry was so scared but, he knew no one in the school would believe him. Jerry had decided to just keep quiet unless the ghost came after him, if that happened he would have to tell his parents.
The next day, Jerry went to school and headed to his first class. There! A ghost floating above the ground. Jerry wanted to scream. Several kids were looking right at ghost but saying absolutely nothing. The ghost said “Jerry, beware.” Jerry let loose a silent scream and ran into the classroom. He decided that he would find out who the ghost was once and for all. Jerry knew if he told his parents they would probably not believe him because they also thought he was delusional. Tomorrow, Jerry would start looking for the ghost that haunted him.
The next morning, Jerry got to school early and found a nice spot to hide. He scoped around looking for ghosts. He picked up nothing but strikeouts. “Hey, why are you here so early?” said a voice behind him. Jerry knew that voice, it was Mr. Nichols the school principal.”Just chilling out.” jerry said, instantly knowing that answer wasn’t good enough. “Well, stop chilling and get out of here.” Jerry knew better than to argue. He grabbed his backpack and started towards the exit when BAM! There it was. Jerry ducked behind the water fountain, not the best place to hide. The ghost disappeared around the corner and Jerry followed it until the ghost took a slight look over his shoulder. Jerry flattened himself against the wall. The ghost did not notice him and kept going down the hallway. Jerry followed him as the ghost turned the corner and started leading him towards the principal's office. Jerry had a bad feeling about this but kept following the ghost anyway. Suddenly, the ghost made a sharp right turn into the principal's office. Jerry made the mistake of looking into the principal’s office. Mr. Nichols took off the ghost suit. Jerry could no longer hold back.
“HEY” Jerry screamed as he burst into the principal's office. Jerry almost laughed out of his mind at the look of surprise that oozed from principal Nichols’s face. “Jerry Nordstrom.” the principal screamed with rage
.
“Why are you the ghost”? Jerry yelled
“To scare the crap out of guys like you.” the principal said.
“Do you enjoy doing that?” jerry said.
“I love making you think that you are delusional.” the principal said.
“I’m not delusional?” jerry asked.
“Not in the least bit.” said the principal.
“How about the other kids?” Jerry said.
“I told them all at an assembly when you were absent.” said the principal
“Why me?” Jerry asked.
“Random selection.” the principal said.
Jerry was truly mystified. He realized that he didn’t hallucinate at all. The other kids still didn’t know that but Jerry was satisfied because he knew.
