My parents were talking with the headmaster about the possibility of my studies at this school, and in the meantime I decided to look around. The corridors were filled with teenagers in school uniforms. They laughed and talked loudly. I sadly sighed, understanding that I had never experienced anything like that.
It was a school of my dreams. My breath caught in the thought that I would be studying here. I wanted so much to come here every day, run along the long corridors in search of the right class, sit in the circle of friends during lunch and just be an ordinary teenager.

Suddenly, the bell rang and all the children ran into classes. Huge corridors filled with silence.
[[go out to school yard]]
[[find parents]]
<IMG SRC= "https://theliberal.ie/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/corridor.jpg">There was no soul around. I decided to go outside. Suddenly I heard something like a loud knock, I turned around in fear and at the far end of the courtyard I saw a silhouette that swayed strangely. It was like he was dancing a waltz, but each circle ended in a very strange step forward.
The closer he came, the more I realized how gracefully he moves. He was very tall, thin and dressed in an old suit. His eyes were wide open and looked wildly at the sky, his head was slightly thrown back. His mouth was formed in a painfully wide cartoon of a smile.He was heading towards me.
[[come back to school]]
<IMG SRC= "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Eriksdalsskolan%2C_School_Yard.jpg">There was no soul around. I decided to go back to parents. Along the way, I saw a huge window overlooking the schoolyard with a playground. I have never seen such a large one.
At this moment, I really wanted to go outside.
just five minutes - I thought, and ran to the schoolyard

<IMG SRC= "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Eriksdalsskolan%2C_School_Yard.jpg">I decided to go back to my parents before he came any closer.
Looking away from him, I went toward the school. Along the way, I glanced back ... and then stopped, realizing that he wasn't not dancing anymore. He stood upright, piercing me with a look. And a broad smile was playing on his lips.
I was confused. I started to go forward again, but I did not take my eyes off this silhouette. He began to move towards me, making giant steps on tiptoe, as if he was a cartoon character sneaking up on someone. Only the movements were very, very fast.
I would be glad to say that at this moment I ran away or pulled out a pepper spray, or a mobile phone. But I did not do that. I just stood completely frozen. He stopped at about a car length from me. Still smiling with an unnatural smile, still looking into my eyes.
[[ask him what he wants]]
[[run away]]

What do you need? - I barely asked, in a voice trembling with fear.
I need you ..... Alice - he answered in a creepy voice.
I cried out in horror and fell to the ground, stunning the whole street with my cry. I closed my eyes with my hands, hoping that this horror would end now.
How did he know my name...
What is this creature, with wide eyes...
Am I going crazy...
Thoughts spun in my mind with incredible speed.
[[pray it's just a terrible dream]]

Dear, what's wrong with you?
Opening my eyes I saw a pretty woman, who turned out to be a teacher and a bunch of onlookers who looked at me with interest. There was no silhouette anywhere. Everything looked like a terrible nightmare.
[[try to get up with the help of the teacher]]
<IMG SRC= "https://www.rehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/rahabs-shutter250560229-Mother-and-daughter-640x320.jpg">The young teacher helped me up and took me to the doctor’s office. My parents met me in the corridor. I did not tell anyone about what happened that day. I knew that no one would believe me.
In the doctor’s office they gave me a sedative. And the doctor reassured my parents and told them that I had a panic attack due to a change of scenery.
[[tell father that there is nothing to worry about]]

And then everything fell into place.
