Life Is Strange

Chrysalis Part 3

When I exit the bathroom I meet the school security guard, Mr. Madsen.

"Hey! Do you hear that fire alarm? That means you should be outside!"

"Sorry..I had to use the bathroom."

"Girls ALWAYS use that excuse."

"Excuse for what?"

"For what ever you're up to! You're face is COVERED in guilt."

"Calm down. The alarm tripped me out."

"Then trip on out of here, Missy. Unless you're hidin-"

The principle walks out of his office and interrupts Mr. Madsen, "Thank you, Mr. Madsen, the situation is under control. There's no emergency here. Leave Miss Caulfield alone and please turn off that annoying alarm, since that IS your job."

Mr. Madsen shoots me a dirty look and walks way. I look over to the principle who is staring at me. I decide to go talk to him.

"Hey, Miss Caulfield, are you okay? You looked a little stressed out."

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm just worried about my...future."

"You're sweating like crazy. Are you sure that's all you're thinking about? You can always be upfront with me, Max. Or have you done something wrong? Is that what it is? Talk to me."

"I saw Nathan Prescott waving a gun around in the girls' room."

"Nathan Prescott? Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. He was in the bathroom talking to himself with a gun. I saw everything!He was babbling like crazy! Please, believe me!"

"Okay, okay. Slow down, so you saw all this without him seeing you?"

"Yes! I was hiding behind a stall. I have the right to be there. It IS the girls' room...."

"I know. I just want to be completely clear with the situation. Mr. Prescott is from the towns most distinguished family AND one of Blackwell's most honored students. So, it's hard for me to see him brandishing a weapon. Anyways, what happened afterwords?"

"He left. I ran out here wondering what to do next. Are you going to talk with him?"

"This is serious business, Miss Caulfield. I'll look into it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention."

"That's it? After what I just told you?"

"We will continue this conversation later in my office, Miss Caulfield. Now go outside with the rest of your class, now"

I walk away from him and leave the building. I start thinking to myself, "Of course this academic drone won't do anything since the Prescott family owns Blackwell now. I shouldn't have said anything." I went outside and admired the beautiful campus. It was fall so, there were leaves on the ground of many colors. The sky looked amazing, the bright colors of orange, pink, and yellow are streaked across the blue sky which is also dotted with white, puffy clouds. Other students are scattered across the huge campus. Some lying in the grass fast asleep or catching up in a good book. Others leaning against a tree studying and doing homework.
