Today was the first day I went to school after a long class break. I'm Tania. I'm in the 1st grade of HUSADA OFFICER High School. I walked through a fairly long classroom corridor with relaxed steps. From a distance I saw the children crowding in front of my class. I ran and found out what happened.

“What's the matter Nit?” I asked Nita.

'There's a trance, Lira.” The reply.

“Kok can anyway? Or maybe he's sitting on an empty bench in front of my stool?” many details.

“Looks sh gitu Tania.” Answer Nita briefly.

Suddenly the child who swarmed the Lira simultaneously bounced.

“Lira Power is great.” Anton shouted down on a flower pot. Lira suddenly fainted. The children took him to the UKS because the teacher had not yet left.

Strange things always happen, if the bench in front of me is occupied. There have been 10 cases like this. I can't stop thinking why that bench always makes trouble. When I was daydreaming about this stool, suddenly Rere my best friend came.

“why you?” He asked while patting my shoulder. At that moment I was surprised. I stared at Nita sharply.

“mm, you know something about this bench no?” I asked seriously while pointing at the bench in front of me.

Rere looked me in the eye as if probing what was in my brain, then his hand was waving right in front of my face.

“ih, what the hell are you Re? It's not clear deh” ocehku upset, because Rere seemed to tease me.

“I don't know exactly. But I've heard people's stories, that this bench is a forbidden bench. Called forbidden because in the past, about 5 years ago there was a female student, she was very beautiful and smart. Some of his friends did not like him. He was eventually killed by his friend. All those events happened on this bench.” said Rere at length.

“Yes, continue because the beautiful student feels this is his stool, so no one should sit on this bench.” he explained again getting serious.

I looked around the whole class. I saw the other children still clustered to tell me about the possessed Lira this morning.

“tan no blood.” whispered Rere to my ear.

“Mana Re? nothing kok.” reply me while fixing my white veil.

“See that blood is still fresh!” Firmly Rere frightened. Suddenly his face was as pale as if he was about to faint. I looked around the forbidden bench. It turned out that after I researched there were indeed fresh blood spots on the bench. “Feelings was the bench was clean, how come suddenly there was blood huh?” my inner.

Since that incident, we have often been haunted by the ghost of the forbidden bench. This situation provoked us to become impromptu detectives. All things related to the forbidden bench we investigate one by one with details.

Until one day when I was studying in class my body felt cold and tired. I saw a tragic incident happen to a girl. Maybe he was the owner of that forbidden bench. I saw clearly when the girl was sitting down cleaning her stationery, and suddenly a man appeared who wanted to kill her. At first he tried to run and seek help. But what power, because the school is deserted. He was eventually killed.

Head decapitated. His body was weakly slumped on that bench. And his head was kept in a suitcase that was in the barn. The one who killed him was none other than his best friend who was against him. I can't bear to see all this. I cried at once to see this horrifying event. Suddenly a headless girl approached me. I almost fainted. I was scared to death, but I also felt pity. And I knew the purpose of the girl approaching me was to ask for my help finding her head and bury her properly.

I told Rere what I had that afternoon. We're trying to find his head. Our entire warehouse is ripped apart.

“Ta, that suitcase isn't it?” Rere dragged me to the suitcase in the corner of the window.

After we opened it, it was true. Inside was a worn-out human head and had already turned into a skull. We took him to the school grounds and buried him properly. And we pray for it too. A moment after that, a beautiful girl appeared in front of us. He extended his hand to us. And he thanked me for burying his head. We shook his hand and smiled. Not long after that the girl disappeared.

After that incident we were not haunted by the ghost of the forbidden bench anymore. Now the bench is safely occupied by anyone because the girl's spirit has calmed down after we buried her head yesterday afternoon in the schoolyard.
