Real quick I'm going to say some things: this chapptaco goes out to RavenJay27 because she is awesome and my friend. You should read what she writes! She is a great writer. Okay, now for the chapptaco, peeptacos! (I really love tacos)

Summer and I walked to school and hid in a spare room.
Be patient, I sent, even though I was the one who wanted to rush and surprise everyone. I was also tapping my foot impatiently against the marble floor of the supply closet.
You're the one who needs the patience, Summer shot back, annoyed.
Sorry, I apologized sheepishly. It's just really hard on my nerves, I quickly added.
It's fine, Summer sent. Mine too, she added after a moment of silence.

I nodded absently, chewing my lip, lost in thought. How was I gonna pull this off? Should I even try? It was probably going to give some kids a heart attack. Maybe some teachers, too.

Whatcha thinkin' about? Summer asked.
Nothing, I replied. Summer looked at me quizically. Really, it's not important, I said again.
Well, good. Cuz I have something to tell you, Summer said nervously.
What? I asked, cautious.
I think I'm getting your powers, Summer said quickly. I gasped. How long had she kept this from me?
Only a few days, Summer assured me. I couldn't tell you until I was absolutely sure, which was now, she added. I was about to send her something when the speakers boomed,"ALL STUDENTS TO THE AUDITORIUM FOR THE MEMORIAL!" That's our cue, I sent instead. But this isn't over, I warned. Summer nodded.

Sad students with their heads down slowly shuffled to the auditorium. In the school, we had had a lot of deaths. Maybe one every week or two. A month passed uneventfuly, and then, supposedly, Summer and I died. They thought we had broken the chain of constant death. They purposely ignored our Death Days in hope of a better future. Now, to them, we had started the chain of death all over again.

I shivered. I hated those days. You couldn't make friends with pretty much everyone, since most of the school population died really early.

Summer hadn't looked at my Death Day, and by the time she did, we were friends, so it was too late to back out.

Wait a second... I thought.
What's up? Summer asked.
Can you see my Death Day? I asked quickly.
I could see Summer concentrating. Ummm, she sent.
What?! I frantically mind-shouted.
Your Death Day is-was- 2 days ago, Summer said, clearly confused.
WHAT?! I mind-shouted so loud it covered the entire room without making a sound. Silence descended upon the room like a gross fog. Was I dead? I was so confused.

The crowd of students seemed to get smaller and smaller. It's time to do your plan, Summer said. That is, of course, if you still want to do it, Summer added.
Heck yeah, I said. I wasn't going to pass up this opportunity.

Slowly, we crept out into the marble hallway. Summer's shoe made a loud squeak on the floor. I winced. Be quiet or this won't work! I warned. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Sorry, Summer sent, annoyed. I grumbled, but let it go.

Summer was probably looking into my head because she mind-shouted at me, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE JUST DONE?!?! and started singing Let it Go by Indina Menzell as we crept silently, but slowly, along.
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, Summer sings.
Not a footstep to be seen, I joined in.
A kingdom of isolatION, Summer sang loudly.
And it looks like... I'm the queen, I sang quietly.
Don't let them in, don't let them see, be the good girl you always have to be, Summer sang.
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them KNOW, I sang.
Well now they know, Summer sang. LET IT GO, LET IT GO, CANT HOLD IT BACK ANYMORE! we sang together.
LET IT GO, LET IT GO, TURN AWAY AND SLAM THE DOOR! we sang again.
We kept singing for a while, and were at the auditorium at the perfect timing.
HERE I STAND! IN THE LIGHT OF DAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY! we sang.
LET THE STORM RAGE ON...The cold never bothered us anyway, we finished.

After erupting into giggles, we opened the door and crept silently in. There was a big screen, and it read:
Friends 'till the end

The song We are the Champions was also playing.
It's now or never, Summer warned. I nodded and slowly crept up to the stage. Everyone had their heads down, so it was really easy to creep by them, unnoticed. I stifled a snort. Summer and I were always unnoticed. A spike of fury quickened my pulse, chasing away the humor. For years, no one spoke to us. These people deserved what we were about to do.

Summer and I slowly crept into the polished wood caskets. They were empty-phew!-so they were easy to get into.

Once we were inside I sent to Summer, 3... 2..... 1!
On 1, we both pushed the caskets open with all of our force, the caskets emitting a loud screech.

Everyone looked up in shock as Summer and I clambered out of the caskets noisily.

With fury clouding my heart, I shouted,"NO ONE EFFING BOTHERED TO CHECK THE FREAKING CASKETS! REALLY?"
Everyone stared up at me in shock. "Please," I scoffed, fury still burning me up on the inside. "If any of you would have cared about us, just even a little, we wouldn't be in this situation," I continued in a snarky tone.
"We went unnoticed... For YEARS!" I shouted, the fury inside me growing.
"You are all A__WHOLES!" I shouted, the fury inside me building so much I thought I would explode. Summer was staring at me in shock.
"IF ANYONE DIES, IT IS ALL YOUR FAULTS!" I screamed.

I fell to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. I had no real reason to blame them. I just needed to place the blame on someone. I stumbled clumsily out if the auditorium, crying.

I found my way into an empty classroom and sobbed some more.
"Thought you could run, eh?" said a voice all too familiar. I screamed.
