A Mystery Visit to a Secondary School

  

      One day, Willow Primary School students decided to visit a secondary school named Woodcreek College. They arrived there and realised that there were 10 floors. Everyone was amazed. ‘Wow, the school is huge!’ said a little girl named Camilla. Her friend Asher replied, ‘I agree!’ They were curious to know what was inside the school.
      They went into the school and visited a few places that looked surprising. They went to the science lab, the music room, the computer room etc. Then it was lunchtime. Everyone was starving but they didn’t know where the canteen was. So they asked a Woodcreek College student. ‘Good afternoon, do you know where the canteen is?’ asked Lara. ‘The canteen? It’s on the eighth floor.’ replied the student with a terrified face. Camilla said, ‘Is it just me, or do you guys think that they looked freaked out when we asked them the question?’ Lara and Asher nodded their heads. They were curious but still went to the eighth floor. They found out that there was no lift so they walked the stairs. However, they lost Asher and Camilla while going to the eighth floor. ‘Where is everyone?’ asked Camilla. They tried to find their classmates everywhere. 
      After some time, when the classmates saw Asher and Camilla, Asher and Camilla immediately said, ‘We couldn’t find you guys.’ The class replied, ‘That’s weird, we lost you.’  
      Suddenly, a creepy man came into the room beside the canteen. The class rushed inside the canteen to hide. Camilla and Asher went into the other room to listen to the creepy man. They saw a little doll. They were so confused. ‘This school is so weird! We need to find out what their secret is once and for all!’ said Asher, they listened to the man speaking on the phone. ‘We need to get rid of the pupils including the primary school kids visiting now.’ said the man.
       Camilla and Asher rushed to find the other secondary students and told them about the evil man’s plan. ‘We need to work together to stop him! We can’t let him get rid of us! ‘Camilla said. When everyone was freaking out, an old teacher interrupted them, ‘Now, only one thing can save us-the doll on the eighth floor.’ Everybody looked puzzled. The teacher continued, ‘A girl faced the same before she was turned into a doll by the curse of the evil man. She has searched for a solution for many decades because she predicted this would happen all again.’ ‘Let’s find her!’ shouted the class. ‘Wait, there is one more thing. You need to break her curse by finding five ingredients: a pink bow, rosemary water, lavender, a rock and most importantly, a strand of a girl’s hair. 
      They hurried to find the five ingredients to break the curse. They went to the eighth floor and found the doll. They broke the curse by giving it all the five ingredients. The doll told everyone that the evil man’s weakness was water. If he touches water, he will die. Then they made up a plan. Lara went to distract the man. Camilla pulled him into a room full of water then the class spilled water all over him. The man then turned into smoke and faded away. ‘Yeah!’ everybody shouted. ‘We succeeded!’ Willow Primary School students left happily and Woodcreek College thanked them once again.

Teamwork is the most important ingredient when we are working on a problem. We need to include others to help ourselves. That is how we can save everyone.
