英语灵异故事-Dark Falls Elementary (黑暗降临小学)03

"Boo!"

　　"Ahhhhh!" I jumped about a mile.

　　I spun¹ around, and saw my best friend, Alex, just coming out of the forest, howling with laughter.

　　"You idiot!" I screamed and shoved him as hard as I could. He stumbled and fell backwards².

　　"Where's Angie?" I asked, just as he had gotten up and was brushing the dirt off of his pants.

　　"Chickened out." He snorted.

　　"She didn't want to?" I looked surprised, "by the way, how are we going to get in." I nodded over to the school. Alex pulled something metal out of his pocket. "A crowbar!" I exclaimed.

　　"Exactly." He walked over to one of the boarded up windows.

　　"This is so exciting!" My eyes were twinkling.

　　Alex put his crowbar under the first board and pried³ it off with, to my surprise, no difficulty at all.

“嘘!”

　　“啊啊啊……”我跳得远远地。

　　我转过身，看到我最好的朋友Alex正大笑着从树林里走出来。

　　“你这白痴！”我尖叫着用力推他。他踉跄几下，向后倒去。

　　“Angie呢？”我问道。他从地上起来，正拍打着裤子上的灰尘。

　　他轻蔑地哼道：“她，哼，临阵脱逃了。”

　　我惊奇地说：“她不想来吗？”我向校舍的方向点点头，问：“对了，我们怎么进去呢？” Alex从口袋里掏出一件金属物件。我叫出声来：“铁橇！”

　　“正是。”他向一扇被封住的窗户走去。

　　“真是太刺激了！”我的双眼闪闪发亮。

　　Alex把铁橇伸到一块木板下，根本没费什么力气就把它橇开了，真是出乎我的意料。
