Echoes of the Supernatural 1

Hailey's mind buzzed with questions as she wandered through the hallways of Wood Smith High the next day. Ethan's friendly demeanor had helped ease her nerves, but the encounter with Drake and the mysterious book had left her unsettled. She needed answers.

During lunch, Hailey decided to seek out Ethan again, hoping he might shed some light on the strange occurrences. She found him chatting with two other students near the courtyard.

"Ethan, hi," Hailey greeted him, trying to keep her voice steady despite her swirling thoughts. "Do you know where Drake might be? I wanted to ask him about something in the library, but it was closed earlier."

Ethan exchanged a glance with Joe and Jack before turning back to Hailey, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "Drake? He's a bit of an enigma around here. No one really knows when he comes and goes."

Joe, a tall and confident girl with a mischievous glint in her eyes, spoke up next. "Yeah, we've all heard the rumors about that old library. Some say it's haunted."

Jack, a quiet boy with a thoughtful expression, nodded in agreement. "I wouldn't be surprised. Wood Smith High has its secrets."

Hailey couldn't help but feel a twinge of excitement mingled with apprehension. "Secrets? What kind of secrets?"

Ethan chuckled softly, his smile warm and reassuring. "It's just local legends, Hailey. Every school has them. But if you're curious, we could do some exploring after classes today. Maybe find some answers about that book you mentioned."

Hailey hesitated for a moment, torn between her curiosity and the cautionary words of Drake. "I... I don't know."

But Ethan's enthusiasm was infectious, and before she knew it, Hailey found herself agreeing. "Okay, let's meet here after school."

As the final bell rang, Hailey hurried to her last class, her mind racing with anticipation. What would they find in the library? And who was the mysterious boy she had run into last night?

Later that evening, Hailey met Ethan, Joe, and Jack near the library doors. The school was quieter now, the fading light casting long shadows down the hallways. Hailey's pulse quickened as Ethan pushed open the creaking door to the library.

Inside, the atmosphere was different from earlier. The air felt charged with a subtle energy, as if the books themselves held secrets waiting to be uncovered. Hailey's eyes darted around the room, searching for the book she had found before. But something else caught her attention.

Near the far corner of the library, standing beneath a pool of moonlight filtering through a high window, was Adam—the mysterious boy from the morning, whose presence seemed to draw her in like a magnet.

Adam turned as they entered, his gaze intense yet gentle. "You came back."

Hailey's heart skipped a beat. Who was Adam, and why did his presence here feel so significant? And what secrets lay hidden within these ancient tomes that could unlock the mysteries of Hailey's past?
