The six senior members of the North Bend Student Council had just gotten back from a NASC State Convention where they learned how to "Lasso their Leadership". As they were walking down a hallway to go to their last session, they noticed that it seemed impossibly long, almost unending. The six friends were trying not to psych themselves out but couldn’t help it, they were hungry, tired, and just wanted to go home and immediately they started blaming their President, Nathan Hansen. Nathan Hansen was a rather, tall tale character, you would think. He was a Halloween baby, and not only that but a red-head, and even worse, a left-hander. People often thought that Nathan brought around bad omens so whenever something went wrong the left-handed ginger got blamed. As the team of six was walking, Alli thought she heard something. “It’s just your ears being so close to the ground,” Jake said, “that you hear our footsteps.” “No, no, no. It sounded like Mrs. P.” “She’s in North Bend, Alli, we’re in Ogallala, think logically will you?” Julia said, pushing her along. But as they continued others, like Natalie and Meri, started hearing it to, but the other three wouldn’t acknowledge it. So they continued walking, wondering when they would get their lunch, and when they could go home. Then, out of nowhere a ghost came walking through the wall. “There!!” Jake shouted, point further down the hallway so all the members turned and scouted it out. And sure enough, a ghost popped back out again, and it was indeed, Mrs. Petersen. At first the students were afraid, afraid that they would be in trouble for walking down the wrong hallway and that Mrs. Petersen had found them, ready to punish them. She had a mean glare with a sly smile on her face as she said, “BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.” “Huh?” Meri said quizzically. “Meri, wake up, we have to get ready!” Mrs. Petersen said and Meri was shook and she woke up. “Hey, let’s go you have to get ready for the convention,” Alli said. **
