15. Sam Graves, Hall Monitor

SAM GRAVES, HALL MONITOR The lights came on. The closet door opened. Ms. Grinker, Mr. Nekobi, and the students stumbled out. For a moment, everyone was quiet. The audience looked around, confused. Ms. Grinker walked out onstage. "Um... well, uh... Let's have a hand for the kids! That play was amazing!" she said.

山姆·格雷夫斯，大厅班长灯亮了。 壁橱的门开了。Ms。 格林克、内科比先生和学生们跌跌撞撞地走了出来。 一时间，大家都很安静。 观众们环顾四周，迷惑不解。 格林克走出了舞台。 “嗯……嗯,嗯…让我们为孩子们鼓掌！那出戏太棒了！”她说。

Sam's mom started clapping. "Wonderful job, Sam!" she yelled. Soon, everyone was clapping. No one had any idea what had just happened. Lucy helped Antonio down from his wire. Then she whispered to Sam, Um now what?" Sam smiled. "Now we take our bow."

萨姆的妈妈开始鼓掌。 “干得好，萨姆！”她喊道。 很快，每个人都在鼓掌。 没有人知道刚刚发生了什么事。 露西把安东尼奥从铁丝上扶下来。 然后她小声对山姆说：“嗯，现在怎么办？”山姆笑了。 “现在我们鞠躬吧。”

Backstage, the students were changing out of their costumes. Mr. Nekobi took Sam aside. "You did well tonight, Sam Graves," he said. "Everyone here is in good hands." Then he walked away. Sam ran over to his friends. He burst out, I told you guys the school was alive! Now do you believe me?" Antonio and Lucy were talking so fast that Sam could hardly understand them. He laughed and said, "Guys, relax. I'll tell you everything." And he did. As they were waiting out front for their parents, Sam told his friends everything there was to tell about Eerie Elementary. The school cast long shadows, lit by the moon. Two large windows were open, and inside two lights burned like eyes, watching the three best friends.

在后台，学生们正在换戏服。 内科比先生把山姆拉到一边。 “你今晚做得很好，山姆·格雷夫斯，”他说。 “这里的每个人都得到了很好的照顾。” 然后他走开了。萨姆跑向他的朋友们。 他爆发了，我告诉过你们学校还活着！现在你相信我了吧？”安东尼奥和露西说得太快了，萨姆几乎听不懂。 他笑着说：“伙计们，放轻松。 我会告诉你一切的。” 他做到了。当他们在门口等父母的时候，萨姆告诉了他的朋友们关于怪诞小学的一切。 学校在月光下投下长长的影子。 两扇大窗户开着，里面两盏灯像眼睛一样亮着，注视着这三个最好的朋友。

Sam reached into his backpack. He felt the hall monitor sash that, just a few days earlier, he had been embarrassed to wear. Now he had a sudden urge to put it on. He knew it wouldn't be long before Eerie Elementary would strike again....

萨姆把手伸进背包。 他摸到了几天前他还不好意思戴的大厅监控器的腰带。 现在他突然有一种想戴上它的冲动。 他知道用不了多久恐怖小学就会再次袭击....
