Short Store Hi, my name is Braden! I'm going to tell you about the boy that was murdered in my school in 1999. Back in 1999 there was a boy and his name was Alex Patlock! He was an honor student and even certified ACT high student! He was very anti-social so he didn't get along with people very well especially other honor students! He would get jealous and cause accidents too the people that got better scores than him! He would trip them in the hallway, spill a beverage on them without anybody looking! He wasn't a mean person but he sure got his way all the time! Until one time he got busted when he shoved a underclassman girl down the stairs! She broke her neck and torn her spinal cord, and had to have Emedient surgery!! He got expelled from school for 6 months but was aloud too finish the last 2 months of school! While at school on April 17th, 1999 which was a Wednesday, he was using the center stairs and went too the basement! A group of boys followed him! Hen they all got too the basement one of the boys from the group pushed Alex down! Then another boy kicked him, then finally another boy picked him up and threw him at the sink causing him too have a busted head!! The boy could not defend himself so he tried fighting back but that just made it worse!!!! Then one brave boy from the group took a metal rod from the shower and best Alex with it, he then got so amazed by doing it that he punctured Alexa neck with the metal rod causing Alex too bleed too death in the basement! The boys were scared too get caught so they took Alex and stuffed him into the schools washer machine which nobody used! It was 2 weeks before they actually found Alex's body!! They opened an investigation and Bellaire Schools were shut down for 7 years but reopened in 2006! Ever since Alex got murdered in the basement no student would go down there, because they claim that they always heard noises from the basement, so the basement was sealed off by the city's police department and no student was permitted in the basement ever again! The End..! Recently the basement was re-opened in 2011 for the wrestling team..
