[Y/N]?'s POV
The next morning I woke up to my mother knocking on my door at the asscrack of dawn. I opened the door and told her I was awake, then slammed the door in her face. I looked at the VHS on my desk and made a mental note that I would watch it after school.
I got ready for school and put the left strap of my backpack on my left shoulder. I put my shoes on and walked out of the front door. It was cold and cloudy once again. There was a slight breeze. I shivered every time the cold air hit my arms and legs.
I eventually walked into the school yard. I speed-walked into the school, avoiding everybody as usual. I went to my locker and got everything that I needed for my first class. I saw Melissa and.. Was his name Asher? Whatever, I saw them walking up to me. I slammed my locker shut and looked at them with angry, but tired eyes. "Hey... We're sorry that we left you alone like that. It won't happen again." Melissa said. It didn't sound genuine, but I believed her.
"It's.. Okay." I said. Melissa smiled at my response. We walked to out first class together. I think it was math.
We sat at our desks and waited for class to start. I just wanted to get it over with and leave. I saw the math teacher walking into the classroom. I stared at them with hatred in my eyes. They looked at all of us and smiled. The math teacher started talking about something. It just went into one ear, out the other.
After a few classes, I was digging inside of my locker for one of my notebooks, only to realize I was holding it. I saw someone in the corner of my eye walking up to me. It was Alex. That name was burned in my brain so much. I wanted to forget it so badly.
Alex leaned against a locker next to mine, with Melissa and Asher behind him. I looked at Asher and Melissa with confusion and anger.
Alex continued just standing there as I stuffed my other books inside of my locker. I slammed my locker shut as loud as I could so I could startle Alex , which it did. I smiled at his reaction.
"What are you smiling about?" Alex asked.
"Nothing." I said. I stopped smiling.
"Smiling at me being startled?" Alex asked. "Do you like seeing people get scared? Huh? You sicko."
"You're one to talk." I mumbled loud enough for Alex to hear.
"What was that?" Alex asked.
"You're one to talk." I said louder. "You like seeing people get scared, too."
"Well.. I-" Alex stuttered before I cut him off.
"Cry about it." I said. "You're pathetic."
Alex looked angry, now. He threw a punch at me, which I kinda dodged. I say 'kinda' because his fist brushed against my left cheek.
"Resulting to violence, huh?" I asked.
Alex continued punching at me. I eventually started running from him. I was backed up against a wall. I kicked Alex in his stomach and ran. Alex ran after me, yelling at me to "get back here". He eventually caught up to me and tackled me to the ground. Alex punched me as other kids circled around us.
A teacher pushed through the crowd of kids and saw us fighting. She broke us apart and took us to the nurses office.
When the nurse saw us, she immediately went and grabbed wet towels to clean our faces off. While she was looking for the wet towels, I felt my face and looked at my hand, which had some blood on it. The nurse came back and cleaned our faces kinda roughly. She then put Band-Aids on some cuts on our faces.

After school, I was walking home when I felt a raindrop on my nose. I quickly wiped it off as I felt more raindrops on my wrists and legs. It was pouring by the time I started running. I got home and opened the front door, dripping in rainwater. I shook my head rapidly, attempting to dry my hair off and ran to my room. I changed into dry clothes and picked up the VHS. I looked around for a VCR in my room. I eventually found one in my closet next to the laundry basket.
I hooked the VCR up to a TV in my room and put the VHS in.
I saw me and the friend that died sitting in my room. We were talking about our favorite movies and which characters were the best. After a little bit, it cut to another video.
"Is this recording?"
"I don't know"
"......Ok it is recording"
I saw a person's face pop up after turning the camera to their face. I saw myself in the background dancing. I heard faint music in the background.
"Hold on, ghost costumes!" I heard myself say. The person recording put the camera down and I heard rustling in the background. After a few seconds, the person recording picked the camera back up and showed me and them in ghost costumes with sunglasses on.
"It's Halloween!" The person recording said. I saw myself going back to dancing again.
The video then cut to me and the person walking down the street. I was holding the camera. We hid in a bush while waiting for another friend. The video then cut off.
