Teen Ink

Summary: Suddenly, Ben comes running through the door like there’s no tomorrow, there’s something weird about him, I got to admit. “You’re late!, “ says Mr. Nickel. “Sorry, I didn’t know the time,” Says Ben. How could he not know the time, there is a giant clock on the front of the school building. There is something weird in his hair, I think it’s a feather or something. Strange. I wonder what he’s been up to? He has a book tucked under his arm but before I can see it he puts it in his bag.
The Bell rings and when I leave the room I stay next to the door and wait for Ben to come out. “Hi Ben, interesting entrance there,” I say. “What was that book you had under your arm?” He looks up with a weird grin, like he knows something he’s not telling me and starts to walk away. I follow him but he starts running. “Wait up!” I yell, almost out of breath. He turns a corner and ..... disappears? There is no one there. How could he just disappear like that? I call out his name a few times but no response. I see a book lying on the ground, it looks quite old. I pick it up carefully because it looks like it might break any second. I look around to see if someone dropped but still no one there, maybe it’s Ben’s book! When I look at the book I see something very strange. I am in the book!
