The cops escorted you, Billy, and Stu to school, but the second they let you out the cruiser, you were swarmed by the press.

"How does it feel to avoid being brutally butchered?"

"What were your relations with the deceased?"

"Do you think the killings are related to your late father's death?"

A few of the cops already there stepped in front of you and tried to shoo the reporters away, Billy and Stu sticking to your sides like magnets as you walked across the school lawn. 

"OMG, (y/n/n)! I'm so glad you're okay," Tatum exclaimed as she ran up to you, Sidney following close behind.

"You weren't hurt too bad, were you?" Sidney timidly asked, giving you an apologetic look. 

 She knew what you were going through, and you could him the guilty feeling in your chest. 

The whole situation was dredging up some painful memories from her past, and she had come so far since her mother's death. 

"Nah, just a stab and a splitting headache. Nothing I can't handle," you assured with a smile. 

"To be on the safe side, we don't want you two to be alone, either," Billy chimed, placing a kiss on Sidney's hairline and wrapping an arm around her waist.

Stu stepped behind Tatum and wrapped his arms around her, pecking her on the cheek, "(y/n/n) did a number on 'im. I don't think the killer'll be able to have kids after what she did."

"Do they know who did it?" Tatum asked as you all started towards the entrance of the school.

"Fucking clueless. The doctor told me they didn't have any evidence of the killer being there, other than the damage to the house, my injuries, and Steve and Casey's bodies. Motherfucker knew what he was doing," you sighed, walking up the steps and through the doors.

"They're gonna start interrogating the entire school. Teachers, students, janitors."

"They think it's school-related?" Billy asked.

You shrugged, "It's a possibility. With the amount of information the killer knew about me, I wouldn't rule it out."

He made a mental note of it and continued on with his thoughts. 

Billy was an extremely critical person, and—secretly—he was conducting his own investigation.

When you looked around, you finally noticed every person in the hallway was staring at you, some looks sympathetic, and some completely disgusted.

"Well, how about we all go out tonight? We'll go to the drive-in and watch movie, hang out, and try to get our minds off this," Tatum suggested with a smile, opening her locker to grab her things.
