The New Weird Girl

By Lien, age 11

Ding! There was a new girl at our school. She was so quiet and never talked to anyone. One day I saw her looking in her locker, but she was looking so deeply that she could not hear anyone around her. I was so suspicious and I wondered what she was doing in there, so I accidentally looked in her locker. Somehow she saw me, and she screamed, “She’s looking in my locker!”

Her voice was sooo loud that principal on the third floor heard it and I got sent to the principal’s office. I explained everything to him, but he didn’t believe me. I thought in my mind: “Did she, like, curse him or something?”

All I knew about the girl was that her name was Crystalanea, and that she was creepy, weird, loud and had a lot of hidden stories. After that, Crystalanea kept staring at me all day long. One day I was walking to my next class when I heard her saying really weird words that sounded like a spell. I said to myself, “She is definitely a witch.” I ran to class so she could not put a spell on me.

One day Crystalanea didn’t come to school, so I decided to find more information about her. I sneaked into the principal’s office (he wasn’t there because there was a big problem outside). When I found her file, I tried to remember the weird words that she said. I said them myself, and the paper turned red, then orange, then yellow, then green, then blue, then purple. Then I heard her voice. I was freaked out but it turns out that it was her file that was speaking.
