(Unedited) Chapter One

Written February 4th, 2019.

               I'm Romana Hawkridge, a normal girl around 15, I like makeup, nail polish, and spamming my friends on Instagram and Snapchat, but something happened at my middle school and I wasn't the same since...

               We had two new students this year. One was taller than most of the kids in ninth grade, he's tanner than you would think during an Alaskan winter, and had long beach blonde hair tied back into a sophisticated ponytail. He also had piercing baby blue eyes. The other had that messy neat style Brown hair and beautiful hazel-green eyes. Basically, they're both high school dreamboats. They were both wearing the male school uniform, a dark pink blazer over a black and grey striped shirt --our principal has a really weird sense of fashion.

                It was early November, just before 3 periods, English was about to start. "Hi Mrs. Hotspur." students said when they passed her on the way to class. Mrs. Hotspur was a kind old woman that loved helping kids learn, she was a cheery soul and always tried to be positive.

                "Good morning." As soon as a class had started she introduced two new students that just transferred here. "Could you lovely boys please introduce yourselves?" Mrs. Hotspur's sweet voice rang through the classroom. Like always.

                "Charmed, Seth Saldana." The beach blonde boy had an accent that sounded almost British. He lifted his hand up to shake Mrs. Hotspur's own. Seth shakes Mrs. Hotspur's hand and then the boy with the beautiful Hazel-green eyes speaks up.

                 "My name is Eliza Mullen, nice to meet you." He was almost annoyed but, also, shook Mrs. Hotspur's hand.

                 "You too can sit in those two seats on either side of Romana over there." Mrs. Hotspur pointed at the conveniently open seats on either side of me. Both the boys nod their heads, and then shuffle to the open seats and sit down.

                  Before class ended Seth raised his right arm, and asked Mrs. Hotspur if someone could show him the bathroom. "Kade, can you please show Seth where the bathroom is?" Mrs. Hotspur requested, Kade was Principal Johnson's only child -- his wife had died giving birth. So his father tries to do his best to raise Kade.

                "ok, Mrs. Hotspur" Both Seth and Kade left on the mission to find the bathroom, but then class ended shortly after.

                Halfway through lunch yet Kade and Seth were still not to be seen anywhere. I decided to look for them. They weren't back in Mrs. Hotspur's room or even Mr. Sweeny our math teachers' room. 'Where are they?' I pondered for a minute, then thought about myself. I had fallen down the stairs on my way to lunch and on the way to Mr. Sweeny's room. I am the clumsiest person I know.

               I strolled to the second-floor bathroom, being cautious not to fall down again. Immediately after I got there I heard.. cracking... It was in the men's bathroom. I'm not supposed to go into the men's room but I am also too curious for my own good... I peered around the light pear green painted corner, I couldn't believe it... Kade was laying there on the floor. The majority of Kade's abdomen was mangled across the floor from where it looks like he was standing before he was ripped to shreds... I could see the lower right half of his spine and the bone of the lower left leg, he had his eyes hanging from their sockets by the nerves that surround them.

             Before I could cry out for help, one of the few stall doors flew open... a man came out of the stall, that man was Seth. Seth was covered head to toe in Kade's blood, I wanted to barge in, scream my head off at him, question him. Yet I couldn't move, my body was frozen in place. I stood and watched as Seth kneeled down next to Kade's body and ripped the eyes fully out of their sockets and ate them like meatballs. He continued to break Kade's bones as he tried to rip off his fingers and eat the flesh. Seth had devoured parts of Kade's body before slowly getting up.

              Finally, after five minutes of watching this gruesome, horrific scene I ran. I ran far. I could feel someone watching me... their eyes piercing through the back of my skull. I didn't stop.
