The Deadfest Club

Chapter 1 -He's coming for us

Zachary's POV:

I scan around the detention room full of random people I had never even met. I watched at the teacher stand up saying

"I don't really give a shit what you do just don't tell the principal I let you."

I mumble "So much for a grade A school"

The teacher walks out and most people walk out behind him.

5 people stay a little longer.
These kids are in some of my classes.
Yeah, Ren, Terrance, Art, Cameron and Delilah.

I decided to ask. "Hey, Most of the room left, why'd you guys decide to stay?"

Terrence answered first. "I'm not a delinquent." He said chuckling, before lighting a cigarette.

Then Ren said. "LOSERRRR!"

Delilah quickly said. "Hey! And i'm not really a fan I'm breaking the rules."

Ren replied. "Another loser."

"Come on Ren, don't be rude." Art said, playing in ren's hair.

Cameron, being the last to talk said. "Rather be here then at home."

Art realizing they forgot to answer my question said. "Me and Ren just have nowhere to be. Plus, he's really an adorable nerd at heart."

"Won't be adorable when I strangle you." Ren replied.

"Detention is up, hey since you guys obviously have nowhere to be, wanna grab a pizza?" I asked.

"Only if you're paying." Art said, still playing with Ren's hair.

"Sure..I guess-" I said but was cut off by Art running out of the door holding Ren's hand. Cameron silently followed.

"Free pizza, is free pizza." Terrence said, shrugging his shoulders the walking out.

"Come on!" Delilah said before grabbing my hand and running out.

15 minutes later

We got to the pizza place and I sat down. Looking around at the five people that I've seemed to make friends with.

I try to remember everyone's name. Delilah, Ren, Art, Terrence, Cameron.

Cameron was the popular jock at my school.

Delilah, the nice girl everyone loves.

Ren, the "rebel" that goes against the popular assholes.

Art, the street artist and yes, his name is really Art.

And Terrence, the "nerd" but come-on it's fucking 2023, we shouldn't have these cliché terms anymore.

"I gotta go to the bathroom, be right back." Terrence said.

"Snap out of it loser the pizza is here and you're payin." Ren said.

"Was I zoning out? Sorry." I said as I pulled out fifteen dollars and placed it on the table.

"We should totally hang out more, if you pay." Ren said, already taking two slices.

"wow I never thought I'd have to buy new friends." I mumbled.

"You don't have to buy me." Delilah whispered, smiling.

After a while the pizza was gone. So, we all decided to go back.

15 more minutes later

We got back and went back in to the detention room. But, what we found was horrifying. Our classmate, Ben Harbin. Hung up in the classroom with his throat slit.

Most of us screamed in unison except for Ren who finally broke his silence after a second.

"What the fuck.." Ren said right before vomiting all over to floor, before running out.

"I'll go get a teacher! Someone call 911!" Cameron yelled, then ran out.

Delilah pulled put her phone and called 911 like Cameron said.

"There's something sticking out of his pocket..." I said before grabbing it.

I start to read it out loud.

"Cameron, Terrence, Art, Ren...and Zachary. Your classmate was just an example. Next time, it'll be you."

"Who would...do this..?" Terrence, finally saying something, backs away after seeing the note.

"I- I don't know who this is...but he's coming for us..." Art said.

Tbh (gosh I love cliffhangers!! :0)
