Since we finally ended that dumb ballet class early, I decided to spy on Carol and Alice in the girls' bathroom. I ducked into a cubicle when I heard Carol and Alice enter.
"So like, I heard the bathroom's haunted." Carol said.
"Ooh!" said Alice. "What do you mean...haunted? And who told you?"
"Well, I heard from that third grader Karlie, and she heard from Lena A. and she heard from Lena B. and she heard from Lena W..." Carol said.
Carol went on like that for a few minutes, but then Alice started to drift off.
"Okay, Carol, I think I get the point." Alice yawns. "What are we talking about again?"
"Ugh, Alice, pay attention! I'm talking about this bathroom, and how creepy things have happened in here and everyone's talking about it," Carol said, exasperated that her story wasn't getting the attention and emotion it deserved.
"Achoo!" I squeak-sneezed.
"Hello?" Carol called. "Is anyone in here?"
"Just the new girl...Clara..." I tried to change my voice as I fake-gagged, took out my English book from my backpack, and plopped it in the toilet.
"Okay..." Carol said. " Ew. Anyways, should we head out? I think the new girl needs some privacy." Then she whispered to Alice, "And I will need some fresh air."
When the girls left, I heaved a sigh of relief. Then an idea came to me like a lightning bolt. I couldn't wait to tell Samuel.

We were in the all-gender restroom in the Bliss 8 Grocery store, when we decided to come with Chris and his mom doing the groceries. The lights were off.
"Ready to do the Bloody Mary challenge?" Dania asked.
"Ready as i'll ever be!" I responded.
"Guys, we need to move quickly," Chris responded. "We only have so much time before my mom finishes doing the groceries!"
"Jenny, do you want to go first?" Dania asked.
I nodded in excitement. As soon as I found the sink, I faced the mirror and repeated "Bloody Mary" three times. Then, Dania did the same.
"...Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary." Chris finally chanted. Silence.
"...What's next?" Dania finally broke the silence.
"I think a reflection of an old witch comes in the mirror." I respond. "Or something happens."
We waited in silence until a few minutes later when Chris said looking at his watch, "Well, we better get going. My mom texted that she's almost done."
Dania turned the lights back on. Then, you'll never believe what happened next!
The sink in front of the mirror turned on! I was excited, but Chris looked shocked and Dania tried denying it.
"Who turned that on?" Chris asked.
"We're all on the other side of the room, Christopher!" I beamed. "It was the ghost!"
"Jenny, it was probably the air." Dania denied, turning off the faucet.
"Yeah, right!" I answered. "As if the air conditioning is strong enough to do that! You believe in-"
"Guys, let's just go, Mom's waiting in line already." Chris interrupted, opening the door for us.
