📖 SCHOOL STORIES — NEW SERIES
THE NOTE IN THE SCHOOL BAG
Episode 8 — The Visitor
Nobody moved.
The voice outside the storehouse had left them completely silent.
David stood behind Mrs. Ada, breathing heavily.
The administrator slowly raised his finger to his lips.
“Shhh…”
Then came another knock.
Knock. Knock.
“Open the door,” the voice said.
Mrs. Ada recognized the voice.
But she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
She moved closer to the administrator and whispered,
“Who is that?”
He didn't answer.
Instead, he slowly walked towards the door.
Just before he reached it, the footsteps moved away.
They waited.
One second.
Two seconds.
Five.
Then the administrator opened the door.
The corridor was empty.
Whoever had been there was gone.
Mrs. Ada stepped outside.
She looked left.
Nothing.
She looked right.
Nothing.
Then David suddenly shouted,
“Ma!”
Mrs. Ada turned.
David was pointing at the ground.
There was a small envelope lying just outside the door.
Mrs. Ada picked it up.
Her name was written on it.
MRS. ADA
Her hands trembled as she opened it.
Inside was a single photograph.
She looked at it.
And her face changed.
It was a picture of the school.
But it wasn't an ordinary picture.
Several students were standing in front of the building.
Mrs. Ada recognized every one of them.
Daniel was there.
David was there.
And standing behind them…
was the administrator.
But the photograph had been taken before David disappeared.
Mrs. Ada turned the picture over.
There was a message written at the back:
“Ask him what happened that day.”
She slowly looked up.
The administrator was staring at her.
“What?” he asked.
Mrs. Ada held up the photograph.
“Why are you in this picture?”
The administrator's face went pale.
David stepped backwards.
“You know him?” Mrs. Ada asked.
The administrator didn't answer.
“Why were you there that day?”
Still nothing.
Then Daniel's voice suddenly came from behind them.
“Ma…”
Mrs. Ada turned.
Daniel was standing at the end of the corridor.
He looked frightened.
“I remember now.”
Mrs. Ada rushed towards him.
“Remember what?”
Daniel pointed at the photograph.
“I saw them that day.”
“Who?”
Daniel looked at the administrator.
Then he whispered:
“David wasn't the only person who disappeared.”
