Unfiltered Story #290919
My elementary school shared a building with another elementary school. Both had their own entrances, so the students never really met. However, there was a nasty rivalry between the two schools. Kids bullied kids from the other school and vice versa. Apparently, the other school once lost a soccer match at a school tournament from us, but that was only a rumour and never confirmed.
When I was 10 years old (7th grade in the Netherlands), my classroom was next to the playground of the other school. The other school had breaks before ours, so we often heard them scream or kicking balls against our walls. They often peeked around the corner and if the teacher was not present, they made taunting gestures and the likes.
The teacher just told us to ignore them, which we did the best we could. However, one day, they found a thick branch. We never saw who held the branch, because they hid behind the wall. They tapped on the window. Just tapping, nothing hard.
The teacher told us to ignore it and he would talk to the teachers of the other school. However, and we still don’t know how it happened, the branch suddenly broke the window and glass was flying around! The teacher rushed outside, but the kids had vanished and of course no one had seen a thing.
When my teacher confronted the other school, they only shrugged (according to him). They told him: “It couldn’t have been one of our kids, where would they have found that branch? Besides, we didn’t even have a break at that moment.”
The other school always had breaks at the same time. They never solved the mystery.
