My family is from Germany. When our ancestors came to America, they had gold hidden in their luggage. Back in 1717, they started up a school for little boys and girls with intelligence too big for the other little boy and little girl schools in America. in this school, both boys and girls were allowed to interact with each other, unlike all of the other schools with gender segregation. they raised up geniuses and invented many tools and contraptions. They studied many things in this school. But the name of this school, to my surprise, was very futuristic. It was Kukunft der Welt Private Academy. It literally means "future of the world" in German. Unfortunately, in 1879, the school was shut down because they got their funds by black marketing many things like tobacco, gold, and even dead bodies for their research on human anatomy. The old school, now considered a mansion, is passed on through the generations of the Hoffnung family (which is my family). I have one of the most beautiful rooms in the house (my taste is the least questionable in our house) and i love inviting friends over. a lot of people say that my house is haunted but i don't call the lingering souls "ghosts". i call them fallen angels.
It was Friday the 13th and all of my friends wanted to stay the night in my haunted mansion. we started out our night by eating dinner. it was pizza with bread sticks, salad, cinnamon rolls, and triple chocolate goo brownies. After dinner, we watched scary movies and ate popcorn. then we had the brilliant idea of setting up my room as a photo booth. we were searching through my mothers old "glam" clothes. we went through her whole closet and ended up trashing the walk in closet with piles of clothes. we decided to take everything down then hang it up later when we were done. when the clothes were taken off of the racks, i found some thing strange. there was a line in the wall. i followed it and it took a sharp right turn and then down again. it looked like someone drew a door on the wall. but there was wallpaper over it. i sent my friend Meghan to get a knife and i cut the layers of wallpaper along the line. there was no way to open it. i tried pushing it but it seemed to be stuck. all 8 of us tried to open it. still nothing. we left to find something to pry it open with and when we came back, it was open. no one else was in the house except the maid. the door opened from the inside. only something from the inside could open it. i sent Meghan to get a flashlight and shined it down into the hole. there were steps going down. we all filed after one another down the creaky steps. the air was heavy and dust was flying everywhere. we heard a crash and a slam... the door was shut. we tried to open it and get out but the door knob was gone. we were trapped. we screamed and pounded on the door.... no one around. we walked back don the stairs and entered a cryptic room. there were tables covered with wires and machines... big computers and contraptions. we were inspecting the abandoned pieces of metal and wire until we heard something roar. it sounded like a machine powering up. we saw a glow in the corner of the room underneath a sheet.......... we slowly walked towards it........ i pulled off the sheet......... and......... a booth? it seemed to be a complicated machine with dials and wires and weird levers everywhere. we stepped inside and i pulled a big red lever. lights lit up everywhere. the machine started shaking and my friends started screaming. i panicked and pressed a bunch of buttons and turned dials. my friends came to get me out of the machine but before i knew it, we were in a library. it looked old. i did a head count. i counted me first... then i made it up to 9....... a man sat at an old mahogany. the man looked started. he wore a powdered wig and small circular glasses...
he asked "who are you and how did you get in here?!"
i replied "im Jenny Hoffnung and i dont know. where are we?"
the man delightedly replied "you're in my house."
i tried to be calm "and where is your house located?"
he sounded proper "why in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of course!"
all of us girls looked at each other and we all know what we were thinking
WE TIME TRAVELED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
