Tara Carpenter | Scream VI

Video Games & Sushi

Tara sighed annoyed as she put her phone back in her pocket. She had left several messages and missed calls to Guinevere who gave her no sign of life since yesterday night. It was Friday, she only had one class she was sharing with Mindy. And she hadn't seen her girlfriend in two days and was starting to seriously miss her.

"Why don't you ask Maddy ?" Mindy said nudging her indicating the Latina who was walking across campus with her phone in hand.

"I don't know, she seems pretty pissed off." Tara replied, and it was true Maddy was wawing her hands in annoyance to her phone.

They both approached and when Mindy was about to speak, the Latina squeezed her thumb with her other fingers telling them to be quiet.

"How many of them did you order approximately ?" She asked exasperated

"Hmm" A hum echoed. Guinevere's, Tara could recognize her out of a thousand.

They couldn't hear what the person on the phone was saying but Tara was almost sure to recognize Guinevere's mumbling voice. Maddy lowered her gaze slightly to the Carpenter girl then looked away.

"Fine." She rolled her eyes and finally hung up. "What do you guys want ?"

"Have you seen Guinevere around ?" Mindy asked crossing her arms.

"No, sorry." She simply answered.

Tara frowned. "Are you sure ?"

"I don't know she's your girlfriend not mine. I have to go, bye." She smirked waving at them and heading in the opposite direction.

Mindy opened her eyes wide opening her mouth slightly running her tongue into her inner cheek. Tara sighed again passing a nervous hand over her face. Maddy definitely wasn't going to help.

All the next day, Guinevere hadn't answered anyone in the group. Which made everyone worried, she hadn't done that since Anika's death. Even Sam asked her sister about the blonde. So everyone went to Guinevere's apartment on Sunday morning.

Tara was the one who knocked first but no response came. Chad then tried to knock a little harder. But the apartment still sounded empty.

Finally Sam pulled out her phone to press the call button on Guivenere's number. A ring could be heard from outside, and after a while she finally picked up making everyone sighed in relief.

"Sam ?" A raspy voice asked unsure.

"Guinevere ? Where are you ? We're worried about you."

There was a long pause. A heavy silence settled before Guinevere broke it. "I-I'm uh at home. I'm playing video games."

"Are you fucking kidding me ?" Tara exclaimed making the blonde gasp and hung up immediately.

Chad chuckled as Mindy slapped her forehead with the palm of her hand and Sam sighed shaking her head.

A small blond head made its appearance by barely opening the door.

"Oh." She said seeing the amused faces of Sam Chad and Mindy. And Tara's stern face.
