We all look at each other scared.
"let's go lock the bathroom doors meet here when your done" I say with no emotion. If we missed death last time we're definitely dying now, I'm coming with those terms. I start running down the halls to the bathrooms I open the girls bathroom and I see a bunch of people in here. "everyone okay?" They nod. "okay, if you hear anyone banging on the doors that isn't my friends or me don't make a noise, if you see a Goode page me" I throw Kate's old pager that I keep with me to a girl in my class.
"you are so brave" A lady says to me.
"it's just the adrenaline" I smile at her. "after an hour or two get someone to climb through the vent and let you out, get everyone else from the bathrooms out and go home and lock your doors and windows" I shut the bathroom door. I see Simon throw his pager into the boys bathroom and he shuts the door. We lock them and we walk up to each other.
"everyone is getting the other doors" Simon says and I nod. "are you okay"
"yeah sure" We run down the halls back to our meeting spot. I take off my high heels and I slam the heel onto the door handle which brakes off the heel so they're just makeshift flats now. I put it back on and I do the same to the other. Simon looks at me with a confused look on his face. "I need to be able to run without twisting my ankle"
"oh" Martin and Ziggy come back. Ziggy takes one look at my broken heels and giggles.
"this is why I wear flats"
"yeah well I thought today was a happy normal day"
"you always hurt the ones you love," Someone sings.
"Ruby" Simon says and she comes around the corner.
"fuck! go!" I yell and we try to run part her but of course she grabs me. I grab her right arm that's holding the razor and I keep it away from me. I kick her hard in the shin and it brakes her leg making her fall I run with the group and Deena and Sam catch up. I go in front of everyone and they follow me to the classroom we were in when we tried to put Sam in the hall.
"we're fucked!" Simon yells.
"no, no! we are not fucked" I say and I look at Sam. "she's fucked. they're coming for her. if we put Sam in the hall, we end this now."
"you're a monster!" Deena says.
"I'm being reasonable! we can't run anymore! a bullet won't stop them, fine. they're really strong, but we just tried to goddamn explode them and that didn't work!"
Simon pushes open the window and Ziggy locks the door. Deena and Sam take off their heels and they break the just like I did. Nightwing starts banging on the door and we all jump out of the window.
"it seems like you've all been through this exact scenario before" Martin says while we run to the parking lot.
"we have" Me and the original group respond. We look around for a car and I find someone's mini van.
"right there!" We run over to it and it's locked. I stare at the window and I make my hand into a fist. The driver seat window breaks and I pull the lock before opening the door.
"holy shit" Ziggy and Martin say.
"get in" I say and I unlock the doors. Everyone gets in and I start driving. "does anyone know mayor Goode's address?"
"mayor Goode?" Deena asks.
"why mayor Goode?" Martin asks.
"because he's the only other God damn Goode in these fucking towns besides his kids!"
"I do" Josh says and he tells me the address.

By the time we even make it to Sunnyvale it's dark.
"it's fucking dark!" Sam yells. I stop the car and face her.
"no way I thought it was noon thanks for telling me"
"your welcome I think the Nirvana music soaked into your brain making you drive slower than a old ass lady and you didn't realize that it's pitch black out!"
"first off it is not my fault Simon had to go through every channel in this fucking car and secondly I can be sitting at home sobbing my eyes out because I just saw my dad get a axe to the head third I basically run this shit I got the powers I'd love LOVE to see you crush someone's skull in with your mind"
"I'll crush your skull in with my bare fucking hands"
"do it I'd thank you"
"I'm sure everyone would too"
"you know what fuck this I've been saving your ass since the second grade I can kill all those fuckers on repeat for the rest of my life I wouldn't even care I'll be the one to live okay? kill them yourself Sam" I get out of the car.
"what the fuck are you doing?" Deena asks.
"walking back to Shadyside I couldn't care less" I shut the door and I start walking back to Shadyside. I can hear them all start to yell at Sam. I know they can do it on their own like they did at the mall so I'm not putting them in harms way, I'm just being petty.

Simon made me get back in the van and we got a motel in Sunnyvale, I guess we'll start again tomorrow. Sam and Deena are in one bed and me and Simon are in the other, Martin and Josh got the couch and Ziggy has the chair. Simon held me tight and I couldn't sleep everyone else was asleep but me. I just play with Simon's hands.
"n/n, please go to sleep, please" Simon says. I turn towards him and he puts his hand on my cheek.
"I'll try okay"
"okay" He kisses my head and I lay my head on his chest.
