The Silent Killer

Chapter 8

I woke up wrapped in a blanket with not many people surrounding me this time. Some people were sleeping and most of the teachers were gone. My friends were the only ones around me. "Whats going on?" I asked. No one answered until Cora decided to speak up and say. "You passed out Alex. Something happened in the girls bathroom apparently so the teachers went to go find out. You should get some rest Alex. You've been acting strange lately." I stood up and shoved her to the ground. I was tired of people thinking I was strange. Michael came up to me with an angry look. "What did you do that for?" He said. "Oh shut up Michael. Why don't you start kissing to make her feel better." I said, kind of rudely. Thats when the weirdest thing happened. Michael slapped me. Across the face. Really hard. He never slaps anyone. I put my hand on my cheek where he hit me and looked at him. I took my hand off my cheek and there was a bit of blood from the mark he left. I wiped the blood on my shirt. "Alex, don't." Daniel said, coming close to me. But I didn't listen. I kicked Michael right in the balls. Thats right. Then to finish him off, I punched him right in the chest and he fell on the floor with Cora, as she comforted him. Daniel held me back for getting him again as the teachers walked into the room and looking for me. Finally they saw me and gave me a angry face as they walked over. "Alex, there was no sign of any murders. You made us go out there where we can get killed. What do you have to say about this?!" said Mr.Hamilton in his usual grumpy mood. I was shocked and upset, and needed to scream. Who knew life was so difficult. I literally was close to screaming. And that's when I did. "Listen teach! I was out there and heard and was in the murder scene. I was out there, the room was shrinking yet you don't understand! The murder was chasing me and I ran back here to almost die in the hallway until my "kind" teacher opened up the door for me! I'm telling the truth please believe me!" I almost started crying as everyone was staring at me. I closed my eyes and felt Daniel's warm hands hug me and lye me down on the blanket and I fell fast asleep. The next day, everyone tried to stay away from me. Probably because of my total freak out I had the night before. We didn't have class anymore either. Some of the teachers freaked out over me and this crazy lunatic killer and blocked every door in the school. My friends and I were walking down the hallway just trying to figure out what to do. My friends were worried about me. I knew they were."Alex, you'll be okay." Chloe said. "We all believe you." All my friends smiled at me, yet I just stared ahead and stopped walking. Why? Because we were walking close by the front doors of the school and I saw a strange shadow was in the window. A loud bang started hitting against the door."Back away everyone!" Yelled a teacher. I heard a faint noise of someone calling "Help! I'm locked out of here!" The teachers ran to the door and opened it up, revealing a girl. They pulled her in and locked the doors. "Who are you?" I asked. She stared at me and stood up. It was like she was staring into my soul. Strange. It was weird. Her hair was a long wavy brown, she had light green eyes with a cute outfit. All the guys were drooling over her. Even Daniel, which made me kind of upset. "Thank you for letting me in! I felt so lonely out there!" She said, twirling her hair. What a flirt! "I'm Annette!" She said. "Can I please stay here with all you wonderful people?" All the guys nodded. "Sure. We want to keep everyone safe. There's a killer going around." said Mrs.Delight. She shrieked "Well, ok." and turned back to the boys. Ugh. All the boys crowded around her asking questions and some of the girls wanted to meet her. Yet I didn't like her. There was something about her that made me twitch. Something was really strange about her, and I was gonna figure that out.
