Behind the classmates stands a phantom girl\u2014pale, with large, dark eyes and damp, black

eyes packed tightly together, all staring at Ben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>He yells, spinning around to look behind him, but the room is empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barry Enters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

collapses to the tiled floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Low Angle Shot (From Ben\u2019s POV):
<\/strong>The bathroom door creaks open, and Barry, one of Ben\u2019s teammates, steps in. Barry is also
dressed in the dodgeball uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
