The Ghost in Room 11
““Matthew, you surprise me!”
Matt was stuffing his jacket into his locker when Mrs. Sanders stopped beside him. She stared at him for a moment, and then walked on, shaking her head.
“She was carrying our stories!” Stephanie said excitedly. “Maybe you won! I hope we both won!”
“It’s not such a big deal,” Matt muttered. But his heart was thumping. He wondered if Mrs. Sanders was surprised because his story was so terrific!
The pile of papers stayed on Mrs. Sanders’s desk all day, under her green f...rog paperweight. By three o’clock Matt thought he must have looked at the frog about a thousand times.
At ten minutes after three, Mrs. Sanders finally moved the frog and picked up the stories.
“Miss Bucher and her helpers have chosen two winners of the story contest,” she said.
Matt held his breath.
“Our winner is—” She looked up and down the rows of desks, teasingly. “One winner is ‘The Ghost in Room Eleven,’ written by our very own Matthew Barber.”
Nobody made a sound until Mrs.MoreLess
