The Peculiar School called Erehmai | Chapter 2: Weird Rules to Follow



Monica walked up to his house as the wind gushed harder and harder. She walked up to his door and paused. What if someone who answered the door wasn't James and that "someone" pulled Monica's shirt and dragged her away, grabbing her into pure black darkness...  Monica wasn't usually this of an over thinker but today she was quite like one. Not that ready, she nervously knocked three times on James' door. She heard thudding of footsteps and eventually the door creaked open to reveal James. Monica was never this glad to see him. She sighed with relief and said hi to him. He did the same. James ushered Monica in his house, and it was really kept neat and tidy. "I knew you were smart enough to crack my note." James said. Monica grinned. "I just knew it meant something." They both walked upstairs to his room. And James left his door ajar. "So... why is this school so weird?" Monica burst her curiosity out to James like a balloon popping. She had been holding her curiosity for the whole day of school. "Well, it's because of Ms. Silver, the principal. She looks crazy, and is crazy. Rumours has it that Ms. Silver is from an mental asylum that has been abandoned since we were alive." James said. "AND she might be..." James stopped. "Yes?" Monica said as if to beg him for answers. She did not like secrets, and she needed to find out no matter what. Especially Erehmai School's secrets. "A demon." 

Monica burst into laughter. "Can't you hear yourself James?" Monica mocked him about his answer. "Well it's true, whether you believe it or not." James' voice  turned grim and serious as he said firmly to Monica. "Ms. Silver won't even let us in her office. Even if it's detention." James said exasperated. He had explained enough information to Monica. "There are some rules that you need to follow though." James said as he gave Monica a slip of paper. Monica, on the other hand, was curious to read its contents. "Ms. Silver handed this list of rules at the start of school. I think you should read it." James said. "Alright, thank you for explaining EVERYTHING." Monica said as she waved her new companion goodbye. "Remember, everything you need to know is inside." James said. 

Monica walked home 20% strangely excited to know the list of rules, but 80% nervous and hesitant about this particular list. She rushed to her house, getting faster with every step. She made her way to the bedroom and jumped her bed. She had never missed her bed so much. She opened the piece of paper, and here was what it said:

Rules 

1.No talking in class

2.Do not knock on the door 3 times

3.Do not enter Ms. Silver's office

4.Walk slowly in the hallway, so that wooden floorboards don't make a sound

5.Do not go outside in class at all

6.Do not take your food outside the class

She was confused. Why were these rules so important to be followed? Like "walk slowly in the hallway, so that wooden floorboards don't make a sound". This was disturbing, and Monica shuddered with chills running down her spine. She was going have to get used to this feeling.

The First-Ever Triumphant Victory of Sophia Ysabel

Everywhere I look, the streets of Wellington were filled with vandalism and graffiti. Loads of people always looked like ants scattering for food which is exactly what people do in lunchtime. Inside my cozy home, I was putting on my school uniform which had the ''slogan'' printed on the side of the uniform. It was Kake Tonu or Ever Upwards in Maori. In the back it had a sun with a weirdly detailed face. I swiftly grabbed my water bottle and put on my shoes. It was time to head down to the Sports Stadium. As I entered the stadium, hundreds of children were in rinks scurrying around frantically playing Floorball. "Great. Another not victorious win." I thought to myself. We lost loads of times. I figured that although with my team's skills and mine, we still wouldn't go home without a victory. I glanced at the kids playing in the rinks. They looked somehow desperate to win a game, with serious looks in their eyes. I grabbed my stick and sat down ne

SPECIAL Post Bulletin * Grading to 6th Kyu*

Location:  GKR Karate Johnsonville Prime I stepped into the dojo as I grinned with embarrassment. My family and I were grading to (moving up to) green belt. The order of belts went like this; white, yellow, orange (which I currently was), green, blue, red, brown and black. But it wasn't going to be easy grading to these different coloured belts. The average person to become a black belt took 4-5 years! And currently, I was less than a year at karate. "Lining up!" one of the senseis (instructors) bellowed. "Hai!" the students grading shouted in response.  Shouting "hai" was acknowledging senseis when they say instructions. It was also a way to show that you were listening. If you didn't shout, you would need to do a certain amount of push-ups. I would say it was quite fair though. My heart was beating so fast, it could play the drums. We did some warm-ups as I jogged, jumped, stretched and shook my body to say "WAKE UP, SOPHIA! YOU'RE GRADI

Different Types of Poetry

Hello! In today's blog, I'm going to unveil some different poems that I learnt at school. Poems, I think, are a great way to express yourself. While making poems, I find the process of writing them really fun. So let's get started! Haikus Haikus originated from Japan. Haikus are short line of poetry, but that's not all. There are a few compulsory rules that need to be followed by making haikus; 1. There are only three lines in a haiku 2. The first line needs to have 5 syllables, the second line 7 syllables and the last line is 5 syllables 3.There are no more than 17 syllables in the whole poem Now, you might be wondering by Rule 2. That's what makes haikus more challenge to compose. But if you want an even bigger challenge, then when you're writing, you shouldn't give away what you're writing about. Like, for example:                                                            Books                                                      Fun, imaginative
