Everyone said that they were the skankiest toilets in the school. Maybe that was true. I wouldn't know. They said they had low doors and no loo roll. That's probably likely. Most school toilets are like that.

But there was something odd about Cubicle One; the nearest cubicle to the sink, and the cleanest. Why? Because nobody ever went in there. No one except year sevens.

No one really bothered to wonder about it. It was just a toilet, after all. There were rumours, yes, but no one believes the whispers that go round schools, do they?

"Don't want a repeat of last time," they would say. "Don't want it happening again." That was what the teachers would say, but they would never mention WHAT had happened.

And then, one day, disaster struck.

A year nine went into Cubicle One. Afterwards, there were debates about whether or not it was a dare. There were debates about why she did it - what posessed her to throw her life away like that.

After ten minutes, her friends started to worry.

"Emily?" they called. "Emily, are you there?" There was no answer, not a sound. Nervously the three girls stood on their bags and peered over the door.

Emily had gone.

All that was left was a hairband, sitting dejectedly on the toilet seat.

Author guidance for This story

Okay, so I've got no idea what's going on in this story. It's something I wrote at school when I was bored. Never got any further than this, so the floor is yours!

Have fun thinking of random stuff to write : )

You might like to follow through to where she went, or you might like to stay in the school and talk about what's going on there - it's up to you.

(personally, I like the idea of an under-toilet cavern with green slime dripping from the walls ... )

For those of you in America ...
In England we have Primary School (age 4.5 - 11) and then Secondary School (11 - 16 / 18). Primary School is Reception, then Year 1 - 6. Secondary School is Year 7 - 11, with Year 12 and 13 being the Sixth Form. Year 7s, therefore, are the youngest in Secondary School.
You take your GCSEs (big exams!) in year 11, AS Levels in Year 12 and A2 levels in Year 13. Or you can take IB (International Baccalaureate) in Year 12/13.

Basically, in this story the girl who disappeared was aged 13 / 14 (depending on whether she'd had her birthday) and the people who used that toilet and were safe (the year sevens) were 11 / 12. Clear?

American School confuses me lol.
