FINNEY CLUTCHED THE GIRL IN FRONT OF HIM ON INSTINCT!
Other students who'd heard the gunshot included Kemani and Chanel.
They'd been discussing the after-party in the bathroom when the attack broke out. Now, the pair were rushing through the hallways after seeing others do the same.
They had no idea what was going on but all the shouting indicated it was nothing good.
The girls approached the first exit they found, a door on the second floor that led to a staircase near the football field.
In front of the locked door was a storage tub full of pig intestines. Stuck to the front was a piece of paper. Since it was placed right in front of the locked door, they could only assume that the key was somewhere inside.
Eat up, read the red ink on the paper stuck to the front of the plastic.
Chanel gagged, holding a manicured hand up to her mouth.
Kemani looked disgusted, but she knew that they had no choice. She kneeled, not bothering to fix her dress. She grimaced as her hands felt through the intestines, desperately searching for the item.
"You can't be serious." Chanel shut her eyes.
"Do you want to get out of here or not?" Kemani questioned, glaring at her friend.
Before Chanel could answer, they heard footsteps coming from the hall around the corner.
Both girls froze, their hearts racing as they heard the sound of footsteps echoing down the hallway. They looked at each other, fear etched on their faces.
"We need to hurry," Kemani whispered, continuing her blind search.
Chanel's eyes darted back and forth between the footsteps drawing closer and the tub of intestines in front of them.
She grabbed her friend's arm, rushing towards the nearest classroom She pushed the door open. Kemani pushed the nearest desk in front of the door.
Both girls pressed themselves against the door, trying to keep it closed. The footsteps passed. Kemani felt her shoulders drop, taking breaths out.
Chanel screamed at the top of her lungs when someone popped out of the cabinets across the room.
Cherry wandered through the hallways, every scream sending a shiver down her back. At every corner she turned, she expected someone to jump out at her.
All of the footsteps terrified her even more. Every person she encountered caused her to jump back but they were just students.
Some had found groups to move through the school in. Others preferred to find an exit on their own.
