Author: Maryam Luthfiyah

In a town named Roseville, there lived two teenage girls named Primrose and Dorothy. They both were best friends and they also studied in the same class. One day Primrose came to Dorothy’s house and asked her mom “Aunty, can Dorothy come out to play tennis with me?”
But Dorothy’s mom replied, “I’m sorry dear but Dorothy is not feeling well today. You can come back tomorrow.” On hearing this, Primrose became sad and left. On her way back she saw a girl’s hostel and through the gate she saw many other girls of her age playing tennis together. They called Primrose to come and play with them too so she went in and played with them. It became 9pm and she still did not return home yet. Her mom was getting worried so she went to Dorothy’s house and asked Dorothy’s mom, “Have you seen Primrose?” Dorothy’s mom said, “No I haven’t, she came here but since Dorothy is ill she left. Primrose’s mom then started to look for her daughter all over the town but couldn’t find her. Then she finally came to the girl’s hostel and in front of the hostel she saw Primrose’s skeleton lying there . On seeing this the mother started to cry. A few months later a girl named Juliet came to Roseville with her father as she needed to study college in that town. They looked for a house for Juliet to stay in until she finished college. But they couldn’t find any empty house. Then they came across the girl’s hostel and they saw an old woman standing near the entrance. She called out to them and said, “Are you looking for a house for your daughter? Well your lucky because this hostel has got many rooms.” On hearing this the father agreed and got a room for his daughter to stay in. That night Juliet was very tired so she went to her room and took a bath and got refreshed. Then someone knocked on her door. It was the old woman. She was holding a plate which was covered with a blue cloth. The old lady said, ” You must be very hungry. I’ve got some food for you to eat.” After giving the plate to Juliet the old lady went. Juliet wanted to eat so she took out the blue cloth but instead of food there were human bones on the plate. She got very scared so she threw all the bones and went to bed. While she was sleeping she could hear some noise coming from the closet which was near her bed. When she looked up at the closet she saw a ghost ? and that ghost tried to attack her. Juliet ran out of her room and bumped into a girl in the hallway. That girl didn’t have a head. Juliet got scared and ran to the entrance of the hostel and she was looking for the old woman but she couldn’t find her. So she ran out and went to house nearby and knocked the door. That house was actually Primrose’s house. Primrose’s mom opened the door and asked, “Who are you and what are you doing here?” Juliet said everything what happened at the hostel. Primrose’s mom said, “That is a hostel where the ghosts of dead teenage girls live in. 20 years ago many girls killed themselves due to failing in exams. You don’t have to stay in that hostel. Juliet said, ” But then what about that old woman?” The mother said, “It has been 20 years since that lady died. You can do one thing. Why don’t you stay here with me until you finish your studies?” Juliet agreed and stayed in Primrose’s house until she finished her studies in that town. Until now no one knows why the ghosts of that hostel tries to kill other girls.
