Kiss Me

Chapter 11

It was a just a normal Friday at school, and as i walked to my locker, i saw the familiar crowd of friends around my locker. And Mark was there. All my friends were telling him to piss off, while Aaron was trying to punch him. " Whoa whoa whoa!! What's going on here?" I asked, concerned. "Mark here, wants to "talk" with you." Said Aaron, through gritted teeth. "Well, let him "talk" to me." "WHAT?!" Everyone including Mark exclaimed disbelevingly. "Yeah, it's fine. Just leave Mark and i some space please." I said cooly, eventhough i was screaming inside saying "NO NO!!!" The crowd started to dwindle down to when there was only me, Mark, Aaron  and Jared. "You, don't lay a single finger on her. You hear?" Aaron  snapped. Mark nodded his head and turned to me, avoiding eye contact. "C'mon Aaron, lets leave them alone.' Jared said to Aaron in a coaxing voice.

Aaron looked at me one more time with worry filled eyes before stalking away. "So...what do you want to talk to me about?" I asked Mark while putting my stuff in my locker. "I-i wanted to say sorry. For everything. " I paused for a second and processed what he just said. He was looking straight in my eyes now. His startling hazel-green eyes paralyzed me and left me speechless for a second. His eyes were so full of sorrow and regret that i ached inside. "I - I'm really sorry Seqouia. I never should have reacted that way towards you. I guess...i guess i just loved you so much that I couldn't take it. I'm really sorry, and i want to be friends again. Will you forgive me?" Mark was wringing his hands together as if he was nervous and kept on fidgeting. He wants to be friends again? Can i trust him? Yes, say yes. You should at least give him one more chance. A thousand thoughts were racing through my mind of whether i should say ok or not, when an announcement came over the P.A saying "ALICE ALICE ALICE"

Oh no. I thought. There was an intruder in the school. And it was heading my way. All the students in the hallway scattered and ran to the nearest classroom. My friends and i got together and started to run to Mrs. Harwurst's  classroom which was just around the corner, when we heard gunshots coming from the office. Screams came along with it. They were blood curdling screams and filled the hallways with fear. We had frozen in panic for those few seconds untill Aaron snapped out of his stupor and ran to the classroom door. He jiggled the door handle. It was locked.

We tried every classroom door near to us, and every single one was locked. Just as we got back together, wd heard a pair of footsteps walking down the hall leading to the office. The footsteps became more multiple till there was at least 4 pairs of footsteps getting closer and closer with every step. We were trapped. We had no where to go. "Scatter!" Mark whispered ferociously. We all did. I ran and hid in the baby Fe, and both Mark and Aaron followed. I didn't know where everyone else went, but i hoped that they were hidden.

Thumpthumpthumpthump. The footsteps were getting louder untill they were right in front of us. There was only a door seperating me, Aaron and Mark from the armed intruders. There were 4 guys. About 17 to 18 years old i guessed. They were all dressed in black, and had masks on thier faces. But the masks were those theater masks, silver with red around the eyes. One guy had a frowning mask, another guy had a happy face, the 3rd guy had a screaming mask, and the 4th one had an angry/psycho mask. But what was really scary, was that every mask had blood splats on them.

I then heard a thud, as if someone fell on the ground, then a stifled grunt. Everything went silent. The 4 intruders paused and silently gave eachother instructions. The frown and happy face guys went right, whike the angry and screamy face guys went left. The footsteps slowly died away, and it was silent once again. Then we heard the screams. Then the gunshots.
