"Yoohoo! Guess who's here!? The one and only, your beauty queen, Jess!" said Jessica winking with a weird pose.
"What the... When did you get a hair cut Jess? I mean it does look cool and slightly 'weird' but still so suddenly?" asked Suzy seeing Jessica all glamed up.
"Probably another breakup... I saw her and her boyfriend messing around yesterday *sighs*." said Emily in disappointment.
"Woah! That's why you refused to join us after school Jess?" said Suzy smirking at Jessica.
"You got me! HAHAHA!" said Jessica bursting in laughter.
"I swear this girl-" said Emily glaring at Jessica.
Suzy, Emily and Jessica were childhood friends who were going to the same school. Jessica had a funky personality same as Suzy while Emily was kinda 'whatever' person. Jessica was a playgirl who used to dump three boyfriends or more within a week and Emily despised that behaviour of hers.
"Alright, just chill Emy!" said Suzy grabbing Emily's shoulder as she gave her a side hug.
"Huh, whatever..." said Emily as she turned her head slightly to the other side.
...
"Well, Guys I've something fun to share with you all" said Jessica breaking the awkward silence.
"Tell us then? What you waiting for!?" said Suzy in excitement.
"Okay, so listen carefully! You know about a Japanese urban legend, Hanako-chan?" asked Jessica as she sat on the chair beside them.
"Um... No? You know I'm not into these creepy stuffs..." said Suzy while shrugging her shoulders.
"Oh! I know about that one. I've read it on a site before. It's said that Hanako-chan was a Japanese young girl who died in a girl's toilet of a school. There were many rumors about it. Some says she committed suicide, some says her parents or someone else abused her to death, some says she died in world war 2 from air bombings while she was hiding in the girl's toilet playing hide and seek, but the nothing is certain." said Emily while facing down having her palms on her face.
"Damn... You guys sure know about these stuffs a lot..." said Suzy with an amazed look on her face.
"Well, we sure do hehe. So like I was saying, let's get to know about this today, if this legend is fake or real." said Jessica.
"Um... It sounds interesting but how? And since when did you start to do creepy things like this in practical? asked Emily raising her eyebrows.
"I'm just curious okay and It would be fun!" said Jessica.
"Count me in! It does sounds interesting. Just tell me what to do." said Suzy giving Jessica a thumbs up.
"Okay, so all we have to do is go to the third floor of the school and enter the girl's toilet. There we have to knock three times on the third stall and ask ' Hanako-chan, are you there?" If we are able to hear even a little whisper of hers saying 'Yes, I am.' Then we just have to run away from there and don't let her catch us because I don't know what would happen if she does." said Jessica.
"OKAY!? I mean it's freaky and exciting at the same time. I'm definitely gonna do this and will prove that this Hanako-chan is nothing but just a scary story." said Suzy being all fired up.
"All right! So it's been decided! We will enter the school building today when the night falls and will execute our Hanako-chan hunting game." said Jessica giving a high-five to Suzy.
"I won't go." said Emily.
"What? WHY!?" asked Suzzy with an utter disappointment on her face.
"How could you guys joke about this? What if it's really true? What if something happens to us? On top of that, at night? Do you even think it's safe?" asked Emily.
"Oh common you scaredy cat! It will be fun and we will be there with you so it will be safe. Let's just go? it will be fun!" said Suzy.
"If you want to, the you can go. I won't go and it's final." said Emily.
"FINE! Then me and Jess will go alone. We don't need you." said Suzy with an angry expression.
"Alright then, Suzy meet me by midnight in front of our school. I'll be there waiting for you, we will go inside together." said Jessica as she rolled her eyes at Emily.
"Okay, I'll be there!" said Suzy as she and Jessica were about to leave.
"W-wait a second. You have to keep this in mind that..."
...
"Oh, so you are here already! Let's go in Jess." said Suzy when she saw Jessica standing near the school gate.
They both entered the school and were heading towards the third floor slowly. It was dark so they were using flashlights but for some reason, it was still a bit difficult to see.
*clink clank*
"J-Jess... Did you h-hear that?" asked Suzy with a shaking voice filled with fear.
"Um... No?" replied Jessica as she looked around her surroundings.
"I thought I heard something, might be my imagination." said Suzy as they slowly started heading towards the third floor.
"Yeah, I guess." said Jessica.
"Ah! We finally reached the third floor. Now let's just get done...*crunch crunch* AHHHH!!"
"Woah, what happened Suzy? asked Jessica.
"T-There's something a-ahead on the f-floor... I h-heard the n-noise again and t-this time I can s-see the s-shadow of s-something ahead." said Suzy as she grabbed onto Jessica's arm. She was trembling and sweating like crazy. Seeing her like that, Jessica moved her flashlight towards that direction to see what's freaking Suzy out.
"AHHH!!!" Suzy jumped and pushed Jessica by accident when she felt something jumped on her.
*Meow*
"Suzy, that's just a cat! And you were calling Emily a scaredy cat, Wow!" said Jessica laughing at Suzy.
"O-oh, DAMN THIS CAT! Nearly killed me. Shit, I'm so embarrassed. By the way, Jess you okay? Sorry I pushed you by mistake, lemme help you up. said Suzy being all embarrassed as she tried to help Jessica up, who was still lying on the floor.
"Ew! What's this, Gross!" said Jessica as she saw some black liquid sticking to her skirt.
"That sure looks gross. I guess you should clean it. It's our school uniform and we still have to attend school tomorrow, what if it leaves a stain?" said Suzy while trying to get rid of that liquid.
"Yeah, I should. Well, we have reached our destination anyways. Lemme go in and get rid of this thing first, you wait here for me." said Jessica as she opened the door of the girl's toilet.
"U-um... Should I go with you?" asked Suzy as she grabbed Jessica's sleeves because she was worried about her.
"Dumbo, do you think I'm scared? Just wait here, I'll be fine." said Jessica as she walked in.
...
"U-um... Jess? It's been fifteen minutes already! You okay over there? Why are you not saying anything? Jess??" asked Suzy as she opened the door to go in and check on Jessica after she didn't respond to her call.
Suzy went in and started looking for Jessica. She saw Jess standing in front of the third stall. She was facing down the floor and not moving at all.
"J-Jess? What are you doing over there? P-please don't play a prank on me... You are right I'm a s-scaredy cat okay? So just stop this p-please! You are s-scaring me!" said Suzy as she slowly approached Jessica.
"Suzy, I found something really interesting. Wanna see?" said Jessica in a low voice who was still facing down.
"W-what are you t-talking about? Can you j-just stop acting all f-freaky? Or don't tell me you a-already called for H-Hanako-chan...? said Suzy extending her hands towards Jessica's face while sluttering. She wanted to run away, but she was thinking what if her friend was only pulling a prank to scare her.... until she noticed something.
*flashback*
"W-wait a second. You have to keep this in mind that this is not totally true that she would only appear when you call for her. So, be careful and watch your surroundings and if you see someone wearing anything red or a red skirt specifically then run without turning back and get the hell out of there. I've heard she appears in something red or a red skirt. I hope this all turns to be fake." said Emily as she looked at Suzy and Jessica looking all upset about all this.
"We will be fine Emy! Don't worry, I'll be there tomorrow to steal you food again hehe. Okay bye, love you!" said Suzy giving a peck on Emily's cheeks.
*End of flashback*
"J-Jess... Since w-when have you been w-wearing a r-red skirt? asked Suzy as she kept sluttering.
"Hehe...Just look what's in front of you and you will have your answer." said Jessica gigglimg in a freakish voice who was still facing the floor.
Gathering up her courage, she turned her flashlight towards the toilet to see what was inside and she saw Jessica who was hanging on the wall with her eyes gauged out, her legs and arms were broken and twisted, blood was all over the place, then a hole appeared from the back and a creepy looking creature popped out it's head, taking the body of Jessica inside it. The hole disappeared like it was never there in the first place. Seeing all this, Suzy frozen up, her heart started beating fast, her face turned as pale as snow, she finally understood that the person beside her was not her Jess. Her feet froze then and there and she wasn't even able to run.
"Look at me Suzy-chan hehehe" whispered Hanako in Suzy's ears with a giggle.
Suzy's face started turning around to Hanako on its own. She started crying in fear, since she didn't want to die. When her face fully turned around to Hanako, she saw a young girl flying, wearing a school uniform with a red skirt, only her bobbed haircut was visible while her face was just dark. Suddenly, Hanako grabbed Suzy's shoulder and said...
"Tomodachi ni narimasen ka, Suzy-chan?"
(Will you be my friend, Suzy?)
"AHHHHHH...N-NOOOO!! HELP ME!! S-SOMEBODY HEL..."
Suzy's voice disappeared as she slowly got dragged inside the toilet. Its door closed with a creaking sound and Hanako-chan's creepy giggle.
"Hehehe...See, Tomodachi ga dekita! (I got a friend!)"
Meanwhile...
"I hope they are okay! I forgot to tell them one more thing. Wait a second... That reminds me...
OH SHIT!!!!!" (Emily)
The End~
I have some questions for the readers:-
1. When do you think Jess died?
2. Who was that creature who took away Jessica's body?
3. Hanako said "see, I got a friend" to whom?
4. What was the other important thing that Emily forgot to tell them and why she reacted that way in the end?
I'll be waiting for your answers and do let me know if you want a second part of this one.
