It all started in the month of October. I'm Jacob and I am 11 years old I was on my way to school I would always take the same route to school as usual. I've only just moved into this area last summer. Before I'd always pass a house that looked like a typical large house that some would say it was haunted. It was old and creepy. Across the street there were about 20 trees in a row that were all about fifteen feet high. One day as I was going to school and noticed that there was a boy about my age standing in the window looking out at me. I waved at him, and he waved back. I motioned to him to come outside and he did. He introduced himself to me, his name was Roger. I told him that I was going to school he said he was to. So we walked to school together for about two weeks. The funny thing about him was when we got to school we went our separate ways as we had different classes. When I would ask him about his classes he would change the subject, so I figured he didn't want to talk about them. Then after school we would walk home together. We would get to his house, because it was the time of the year when daylight savings time was coming to an end and it was getting dark early. So when we got to his gate he would say goodbye and watch me as I walked away. On the following weekend I went to the store with my step dad Tony. As we drove by Rogers’s house I noticed that it appeared to be empty and dark. I told Tony about the boy who lived there, laughed and said what are you talking about that house have been abandoned for 12 years from what I've heard. I said no really his name is Roger and we go to school together. Tony laughed again and we drove on.
As Monday rolled around I got to his house and Roger was waiting at the gate. I talked to him about what me and Tony saw over the weekend he laughed and said I was crazy and that he and his family were away for the weekend. He said they went to Big Bear. So I then laughed and said "oh that explains it." Then we went to school. As we were going to school I started thinking to myself why won’t he tell me about his classes. I decided to follow him as we went our ways only to lose him in the crowd. It's as if he disappeared tried this twice and gave up.
One day after school Roger asked me if I could help him with his math homework so we went to his house and walked up to the porch of the house I thought we were going inside but he directed me to a table and chair where he said he did his homework and so we sat down and started. When we were done after an hour or so he asked if he could borrow my math book I said okay since I was done with my work for the week. I told Roger that I would ask for it when I needed it. He said okay. Then I went home. As I walk down to the end of the street where I turn I looked back towards Rogers house and noticed very quickly that someone had walked into the trees that were across the street. So I stopped and looked but thought I was seeing things so I ignored it.
On the next day as we walked I began to ask him about his family he said he lived with his mom and his grandpa, I asked if it was possible to meet them, he said no because his mom worked a lot and his grandpa didn't like meeting people, so I said okay no big thing. As we got to school it was early so I decided to go to the library. I wanted to read about the town we lived in. I asked the librarian if she knew much about this town she said yes, so I asked her about the old house she told me that there was a book about the house so she walked me to the isle was the book was. As she looked into the shelf she noticed that the book was missing. She said "hey it was right here I put it up this morning and no one has been here yet." The bell then rang and I said thanks anyway and left for class.
After school I met up with Roger and he seemed angry I asked what was wrong and he said nothing and asked if it would be okay if I walked alone today I said but I wanted to ask about what he was doing for Halloween, He said nothing and that he was going to big bear for Halloween. So I said okay and left, he went another way. As I passed his house I saw Roger in the window, I waved and he pulled the blinds down. So I went home.
It was the day of Halloween and I walked by Roger's and he wasn't there. I looked at the house and it was the same as usual empty looking so I went to school.
After school I waited to see if Roger was waiting for me so that we could walk together and he wasn't there so I left. As I walked by his house I noticed that there was no one there but the front door was wide open. I knocked and called his name and no answer. I remembered that he had borrowed my math book so I thought good a reason for going in. As I walked in I noticed that it was dark all around. I looked up the stair way and noticed a light coming from a room at the top of the stairs I walked up . Every step I took the floor creaked. When I got to the door I looked in and saw a table and a lamp. I called for Roger but again no answer. So I walked in and went to the desk and noticed that there was a book on the desk, but it wasn't my math book. Then out of nowhere a hand grabbed my shoulder and as I turned in fear it was an old man. He yelled "what are you doing in my house" I screamed and ran down the stairs and fell on the floor I turned around and the old man was coming down the stairs, I said I was looking for Roger, he then said Roger is at big bear. So I ran out the door. When I got to the gate I looked back and the old man was pointing at the trees and said big bear. So I looked at the trees and decided to walk across the street and when I got to the trees I went into the trees and noticed that it was a cemetery. I looked up at a sign that read Big Bear cemetery. I then looked to the right of me and there was a plot with the headstone that read Beloved Roger, and on the grave was my math book with a note that read "thank you for lending me your book it was what I needed to complete my course from school and forgive me for being angry it was because you were being a bit nosy so I took the book from the library.”I already returned it." then I looked at the tombstone and it read born 1985 to 1999, we were in 2012. Right after I ran home and never took that route again
