    Liv hadn't really known what to take this semester. So Mickey roped her into a semester of intro to film. She sat next to him in the back of the class but, the Professor tend to let the students sit in any which direction. Billy was closer to the front but his desk was turned in her direction. She waved at him and he waved back.

    At some point the Professor joined the class and discussion began. Liv picked up bits and pieces but, today she was doing something else. She wrote out the names of the kids who died. The news that morning gave times of death for the two at the theatre but, she didn't need time of death when it came to the two at the party. She was going to figure out who was trying to kill her friends. She was going to find them and get to them first. Her notebook was filled with notes about the Woodsboro Murders book that Gale Weathers wrote. She'd read it the night before. She was almost tempted to go to the movie theatre where everything went down. But she resisted her new manic obsession. She needed to play it cool. Anyone could be the killer, she knew that much. So she didn't want to raise suspicion.

    "Sequels are too handicapped. By definition alone, they're inferior films," Some kids said loudly at the front of the class. Mickey sat up straighter and pulled his tooth pick out of his mouth.

    "Bullshit generalization. Many sequels have surpassed their original," He said. His eyes glanced over at Billy who had a stone cold expression.

       "Name one," the guy challenged.

    "Aliens," said another student. "Far better than the original." Mickey pointed at him. Cici surprisingly took this class. It made Liv wonder if she wasn't totally sorority brainwashed all the time.

    "I much prefer Ridly Scott and who can beat that trailer for the film. 'In space no one can hear you scream," Cici grinned as she looked back at Mickey. "That's iconic."

    "Subjective," One kid said.

    "Life's subjective," Cici uttered back.

    "Come on!"

    "No way, Aliens rocked. "Stay away from her - you bitch." Another person quoted the line. Liv put her pin down. There was no way she could sleuth in this class it was way too loud now.

    "I'll give you that one. Name another." The first guy looked back at Mickey. Mickey pressed his forearm to his desk and a grin grew on his face.

    "T2," he said.

    Cici rolled her eyes, "You've got a hard- on for Cameron."

    "A bigger budget does not make a better movie," Billy said and the whole class turned to look at him. "Both Alien and Terminator are historical."

    "How about The God Father Part II?" Asked Mickey and he raised an eyebrow. It seemed that he saw Billy as a worthy advisory. The whole class seemed to agree with this film. A silent, 'ooohhh' echoed through the room.

    "The exception. Name another," Billy challenged. The class started to think, everyone had serious expressions on their face. Billy and Mickey had a staring match.

    "Empire Strikes Back." Liv spoke up and Mickey glanced back at her. The class muttered about the suggestion. She rarely spoke up, didn't like the looks she got with most of her opinions. Billy's head tilted to the side. "Better story," she shrugged. "Bigger, more dynamic."
