Run in the hallway

Chapter 1

Veronica.

Monday morning. I woke up by the sunlight passing through my window, directly hit my face. I smile, feeling the warmth of the sun and turning my head to face the clock. "Shit, I'm late" I said. It's already 8:16 of the morning. I quickly get up, rush toward the bathroom.

"That damn clock didn't alarm again." I said. Yawning while brushing my teeth.

After a few minutes, I head downstairs ready to go school. Trying to put my shoes, I see my mom in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

"You're late again. Veronica." She said. Closing her arm to her chest.

"I know, my clock need to be fix." I said. After getting a slice of bread I said goodbye and rush over the door.

I get in my car and drive as fast as I can. I arrive at school exactly 8:45am, my first class will end in 25 mins. Quickly I enter the room, all of my classmate looking at me like they saw a celebrity.

"Look! Who show up?" Olivia said with her annoying smile. A pretty blond girl, captain of the cheerleading squad. I sighed and turn away. My teacher Mr. Morris look at me.

"Good morning Ms. Huggins. Do you know what time it is?" He said while raising his one eye brows. I look at him and give him an awkward smile.

"Yeah. I'm sorry, something happened in the house." I lied and go to my seat.

Kia my best friend sitting beside me ask. "What the hell happened to you?" I explain to her what really happened. Few minutes past and the class end.

"I still want to sleep." I said. As we walk on the hallway going to our lockers, Ethan tell us a story about a new crime happened to our town.

"Guys, hear this out!" Ethan said with excitement on his face. He always inform us about the crimes that happened to our town. His father is a reputable cop, known for solving a lot of crimes in the past until now.

"Just tell us, Ethan." I said. As I opened my lockers to get my science book. Of course Kia's lockers beside me and Ethan's in other side of the hallway and on his right is Kyle's lockers.

"Few students of our school go on camping into the woods last week." He said.

"What the hell Ethan, We don't care." Kia said. Ethan look around and continue "They're horribly killed and only one girl survive." He whisper. "No." Kia shout. "What do you mean no?" Ethan ask. "You know what we mean, Ethan" I said.

"I haven't said anything yet. Well the murderer haven't found yet. Just putting it on there. You know." He said.

"Reading your dad files again. Ethan." Kyle said with a smile on his face. Ethan and Kyle are childhood friends and neighbors. Kyle is a football player I've been crushing since freshman year and Ethan our smart friends really good at deduction and has analytic skills.

"It's a habit of mine. Don't tell him." Ethan reply.

"I won't." Kyle said while putting his arms in the air. He look so cute on that. I'm daydreaming again.

"But I will." Carson said.

"Don't you dare. Carson" Ethan said giving Carson a serious look.

"What's with that look?" Carson said, laughing while walking away.

"Can I even have just one peaceful day, huh?" Ethan shout.

"No. Plushy!" Carson reply. Carson is a transferee when where still in 2nd year, her mom is a cop and it's only the two of them. He's Kyle best friend and also a football player. He's a nice guy though he just like to mess up Ethan's day for no reason.
