The light, (In the all too familiar light..)

Prologue

Laura taps on her notebook, bored. Her and her friends have been planning this since they started senior year. It was something to tie off all their mischievous and hazardous ideas. A grand leap at the end of a routine.

Laura was passionate about many things, one of them being dance. She always dreamed of being the next big star, the next person people would envy when they saw. She attempted to share her passions with her friends, but they always tossed it off and continued to chat away at whatever mind numbing topic was next.

The bell rings and all the students shuffle out of the classroom like when a trash can dumps all the previous filthy trash into the truck. Which to be far, her classmates weren't far from. They all were vain and thought about only their looks and fame. She thinks about fame and looks too! But not as much as them, she still had empathy..

She quickly pushed pass the crowd and ran through all the students to the cafeteria, her shiny green hair flowing behind her, it shined like dewdrop covered grass. "Woah! Someone's in a rush." A voice behind her said, she turned around and saw Symphony.

Symphony was a seat friend she had, they were quite talkative so she quickly stopped talking to them once the teacher changed the seats again, she couldn't handle them. Symphony was kind, and had a good head on their shoulders, but they never stopped going on and on about music history and their violin and all the competitions they've been to.

Laura stammered, trying to get something out. For some reason Symphony caught her off guard, she seemed to glow today! Like a shiny star in a vast darkness of the sky. Laura quickly said something "Y-yeah I'm just.. going to hang out with my friends! You c..could join me if you'd like..?".

Damnit, was she that incompetent that she couldn't handle being in front of an attractive person!? But Symphony had never really been known for being attractive, "Oh of course Laura! I'm so glad you asked." Symphony enthusiastically exclaimed.

She just went along with it and brought Symphony with her to her friends table. She walked until she saw a table with all her friends. Marria, who probably has the darkest sense of humor ever. Kaiden, who could never keep his mouth shut. And Luna, who actually was a pretty tame person, she was just insanely quiet all the time.

Actually, when did they meet Luna?
Her head suddenly experienced a painful headache, until it stopped and she forgot what she was thinking about.

"What's with the random person?" Kaiden asked, "You know we can't mess this up." Laura sighed, "I know, but they could be a good asset." Kaiden looked visibly upset before resuming his conversation with Marria about... something. She sat next to Luna and told patted the seat next to her, Symphony looked nervous to sit next to her for some reason.

Eventually they sat down next to her. She turned to.. uhm, uh.. ah.., hmm.. uhhhh, name please?

Luna. Luna looked at her expectantly, then she remembered. They probably don't know Symphony..! "Hear ye, hear ye," Laura said dramatically clanking two of her old hair clips she had in her pocket together,

"this.. is Symphony! They were my desk buddy in history during junior year, they will be joining our plan-" before she could finish Marria spoke up, "Really!? Laura we can't afford any mishaps! Sorry Symphony your probably a great person, anyways.. this is so important! It's our big exit! It's our 'that's all folks!', Okay!? We can't afford any mistakes."

Laura looked over to Symphony, they looked confused. Laura scooted over and whispered to her, "We have a huge plan to be basically our last like sneak out fun sesh of the year, because after highschool we're all splitting up for college." Symphony looked like they understood, but they had a melancholy look on their face.

"We should include Symphony. We can just tell them the plan." Luna said calmly. Everyone turned to her wide-eyed, Luna didn't talk much unless it was important, they all jokingly called her the 'wise one'. But her ideas were always spectacular! So reluctantly Marria and Kaiden nodded their heads and the plan was set.

They all sneaked out quietly during the last few minutes of their lunch period after going through the plan once more. Symphony caught on quick, she had to admit. A little too quick.. or their plan was just easier than they thought, probably the latter.

They made their way to Marria's empty home and watched as Marria unlocked the door and let them inside. Her house was quite spacious from the outside but inside was just stacks of boxes upon boxes, Marria was moving across sea for her education and her family wanted to follow. They searched around for flashlights and some fireworks they bought secretly hidden safely in Marria's closet. Laura went to search for a lighter since Marria forgot to get it last night. She said it was probably in the kitchen since her dad smoked a lot.

They took all of their items and walked out, Kaiden turned on his phone and went to google maps to find their location, an abandoned morgue they came across that was nearby while messing around on google maps. It was just gonna be a tiktok video where Marria was gonna dress up as a black figure and run around and act like a ghost, it was for views and would probably earn them so much fame.

Nothing could go wrong right?

foreshadowing much.. SHIT!
