1. It Begins

Eerie Elementary The School is ALIVE!

学校还活着！

1 IT BEGINS... "This is HORRIBLE!" said Sam Graves. He was holding up a shiny orange sash. "I can't believe I have to wear this." It was Monday morning, and Sam and his best friends Antonio and Lucy were standing in front of their lockers. They were waiting for the bell to ring.

它开始……“这太可怕了！”山姆·格雷夫斯说。 他举着一条闪闪发光的橙色腰带。 “真不敢相信我要穿这个。” 那是星期一的早晨，山姆和他最好的朋友安东尼奥和露西站在他们的储物柜前。 他们在等铃响。

"Wait, you're a hall monitor?!" Antonio said. "I didn't even know Eerie Elementary had hall monitors." Sam kicked at the floor. "They do now. And it stinks! The principal called my mom last night and said I had been chosen. Ugh. It's going to be terrible. I have to stand in the hallway and yell 'Get to class!' and 'No skateboarding!'" "Well, at least you get to wear that cool orange sash," Lucy teased. Sam stuck out his tongue.

“等等，你是大厅管理员？！”安东尼奥说。 “我甚至不知道怪诞小学有大厅监视器。” 萨姆用脚踢地板。“他们现在知道了。 而且很臭！校长昨晚打电话给我妈妈说我被选中了。 啊。会很糟糕的。 我必须站在走廊上大喊“快去上课！”和“禁止滑板！”’”“好吧，至少你可以戴上那条很酷的橙色腰带。”露茜揶揄道。 萨姆伸出舌头。

RIIIIING!! "Come on, that's the bell!" Antonio said. Sam frowned. "You guys go ahead. I have to make sure everyone has gone into class." "We'll see you inside!" Lucy shouted. Within moments, the hallway was totally empty. Totally empty, except for Sam. He began walking the halls. Sam looked through the double doors to the outside. He saw a classmate by the playground.

RIIIIING ! !“快点，那是铃声！”安东尼奥说。 山姆皱起了眉头。“你们去吧。 我得确保每个人都去上课了。” “我们进去见！”露西喊。 不一会儿，走廊就空无一人。 空无一人，除了山姆。 他开始在大厅里走来走去。 山姆透过两扇门向外面望去。 他在操场上看到一个同学。

"Hey, Bryan!" Sam called out. "The bell rang. You should... um... get to class!" Bryan frowned at Sam. Then he ran past him into the school. See? Everyone hates the hall monitor, thought Sam. He was about to close the door when a cold breeze blew past. He saw that Bryan had dropped his hat near the playground. My teacher won't mind if I sneak outside for a second, thought Sam. The air outside was like ice. Orange and red leaves whipped across the ground. Sam shoved his hands into his pockets. He could see his breath. It looked like little ghosts were dancing through the air in front of him.

“嘿,布莱恩!”萨姆喊道。 铃响了。你应该…… 嗯…快去上课！”布莱恩对萨姆皱起了眉头。 然后他从他身边跑进了学校。 看到了吗?每个人都讨厌大厅的班长，山姆想。 他正要关门，这时一阵冷风吹过。 他看见布赖恩把帽子掉在操场附近了。 我的老师不会介意我溜出去一会儿的，山姆想。 外面的空气像冰一样。 橙色和红色的树叶在地上飞舞。 萨姆把手插进口袋。 他可以看到自己的呼吸。在他面前，好像有鬼魂在空中跳舞。
