【中英·惊悚短故事】我收了一个新学生(2)
差不多到睡觉时间，狗子好奇地跑上来我的卧室。这次让我比较惊讶，平时一直冷静的狗子突然开始不停咆哮，并且全身炸毛，呲牙咧嘴。尽管我把它拖出去了，但是还是能听到它在房门外一直不停地呜呜叫。
半夜的时候，我听到学生起床，摇摇晃晃地在卧室里面走过。走回来之前，他在我的床尾位置停留了一阵子。然后我翻过身，看见他在充气床垫上坐立不安，开着他手机的手电筒照着些什么。我对他说要睡觉了，他羞羞地道歉，把手电筒关掉。没一会儿之后，我感觉到他把手压在我的肩膀上，我被突然震醒，然后面对着他。
他的眼睛瞪得像碟子那么大，皮肤苍白得如同鬼魂。我大叫着说我要给他的母亲打电话，他也没理会，靠得更近，在我耳边小声说：
“有人正在你床上方的通风口往下盯着。”
【英字】
I have been adapting to rural life for a few months, but still hadn’t managed to secure a full time teaching job. I was happy to escape the city for my mental health and the increased space it provided my dog. But in such a small town, my chances of employment plummeted. To make ends meet, I began providing private tutoring sessions at my home.
I recently took on a new student, a high school senior, who happened to be the star of the football team. His mother provided an Email detailing his struggles both academically and with substance abuse. She pleaded with me to do whatever it takes to help her son out as a failing mark would result in the forfeiture of his scholarship offer and any hope at a college education.
His mother dropped him off at my house and after some small talk we delved into the lesson. To my surprise, he wasn’t a dumb kid at all. He just had difficulty maintaining focus and applying himself. The lessons flew by and we were so immersed in the material that I hadn’t even noticed the flush flooding which had engulfed the area. The mother called me and informed me there was no way for her to navigate the roads and reach my house. I was very hesitant, but I offered to let him stay the night.
