I don't know what it was about me that made me want to go to school early even though my classes don't start until noon. I would be in school by 9 or something. During those hours I would just happily play with my "jack stones" or my "pick-up-stix". I was in my own little world just playing it over and over, perfecting the games.
On one of these mornings as I was sitting at the corner playing the "jack stones" I observed two girls (students) that were probably also early birds. They were having a conversation and from my recollection, one of them suggested they go inside the building in one of the rooms. I just ignored them and continued to play.
My next recollection was myself looking up from the game to see these two girls crying hysterically and was just saying something to the school guard who left his post to console them but they could not be comforted and I remember they walked away with him.
"Cry babies.", I thought to myself. :D
So when it was time for my classes to start I started hearing this rumour/story - about these two students who went inside one of the class rooms that morning.
This classroom , as I recall was located at the right wing of the building and I remember it being fairly new, like a new addition. I've always thought this room was odd because it was a good 2-3 feet higher than the regular classrooms. It's adjacent to the main building. It's like its own room. It's not even part of a hallway. To walk past it, you have to be walking outside the building.
They say that these two girls went inside the empty classroom and just started writing on the board. All the chairs were up on the desks with the legs sticking up. As the two girls were just goofing around writing on the board, some chairs started to vibrate on the desks. They witnessed it and then some of the chairs vibrated so hard they fell off the desk which brought them running and screaming for the school guard.
And I did not connect it until some time later - those girls that I saw who were crying hysterically, those were the girls they were talking about. I wish I was a bit more nosy and not so preoccupied with my stupid jack stones game.
Because there is another version of the story of what happened in that classroom. Two girl went inside the classroom to "play" when they saw a lady in white and they screamed and ran outside and called for the school guard.
Either way, I remember after hearing about the story, curiously walking past this classroom and trying to have the guts to enter but never could (I've always had the Ghost Hunter in me hehehe). My memory is fading but I recall having to walk past it with other girls from my class and one of them saying "This is the classroom..." . It was already quite dark which added to the ambiance. I remember walking past it as quickly as I could , pulling my school-bag-on-a-stroller with my right hand. Still as I walked past it, I couldn't help but sneak a look inside almost expecting to see something but didn't. But I remember just feeling that whatever is in there, is in there I just could not see it.
I would've just dismissed the rumour as something made-up by fellow 8-year-olds had I not witnessed the two girls headed towards the direction of the classroom and subsequently crying their eyes out and trying to say something to the bewildered school guard.
