the day that i died

Chapter 2: Shit Storm

THE DISASSOCIATED GIRL HAD NO IDEA about the shit storm that she had just walked into. There were students whispering to each other all throughout the halls about what happened to their fellow classmate Tara Carpenter.

Honestly, Candi didn't really care for the girl. After all, she had just met her the day before. All she truly cared for was the fact that Ghostface might actually be back.

All the girl wanted to do was find Wes and his friends to see what they had to say about what happened. She pulled out her phone to text the boy when she all of the sudden got slipped on a puddle that the janitor had yet to clean up.

"Oh shit." Candi said to herself as she fell onto the puddle. The whispers came to a sudden stop. Everyone in the hall looked towards the soaked girl. Candi started to panic when she noticed that all the attention was now on her. What the hell am I supposed to do now? Candi thought to herself as she started to tear up. At the thought of everyone staring at her.

As she started to get lost in her thoughts about what she should do she heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Candi. You ok there?" a voice said softly to her.

The girl knew in an instant who it was that was talking to her. "Wes!" the girl said abnormally loud. "Sorry, I mean Wes!" the girl said in a quieter tone. "I didn't see you there!" Candi said as she started to get up.

"Yeah, probably because I just got here." Wes chuckled to himself as a wide grin appeared on his face. "Well? What were you doing on the floor there?" he said to the flustered girl.

"Well I was on my way to find you." she said as she pointed finger guns at him. "But instead I found the puddle." she said with a smile.

"I can see that!" he said as he looked at her up and down. "Also no need for the guns cowboy!" Wes said to the girl as she quickly went to put her hands down.

'Hey Wes?" Candi said to the boy. "Yeah?" Wes said back. "Do you mind walking me to the restroom?" Candi said as she pointed towards the restroom. "Yeah sure!" Wes said.

As they walked down the seemingly endless hallway Candi's embarrassment grew with every snide remark she overheard. God all she wished at that moment was that Wes would say anything. Literally anything! Candi knew that he wouldn't though at least he wouldn't for her anyways.

"Well here we are!" Wes said to his friend. "Here we are." Candi said in a sarcastic way back.

"Well just so you know we're all meeting up later." Wes said to girl as she started to head into the restroom. "I know. You told me earlier." Candi said as the door shut behind her.

She waited at the door to see if he would wait for her. Please wait for me. She kept saying to herself in her head. As she was saying that to herself she heard his footsteps walking away from the door. She sighed as she started walking towards a stall so she could change into some spare clothes she had brought. As she was changing she heard footsteps walking towards her stall.

A pair of gloved hands appeared above on the stall door and started violently shaking it. "Hey, it's occupied!" Candi said as she tried not to panic. The shaking had come to a sudden stop. Candi tried to listen in closely to make sure the person was gone before she tried to exit. As she put her ear against the stall door a knife went through the door barely missing her face by a couple inches. Candi let out a loud shriek as she pushed the door open sending the person onto the floor causing them to grunt.

Candi ran out of the stall finally seeing who was doing this to her. It was him. It was fucking Ghostface. As Candi tried to flee her leg got pulled causing her to fall down. As Ghostface began to tower over her getting ready to strike his knife down into her she was able to kick him right in the gut causing him to groan in pain as he fell down. This action gave the frightened girl enough time to escape into the silent hallway.

"Someone help me! Anyone please!" Candi screamed at the top of her lungs. As she ran through the hallways she finally ran into a person. Amber Freeman.

As soon as Candi made contact with Amber she felt a sense of relief. "Woah. Hey you ok?" Amber said to the distressed girl. Candi didn't really care what the girl was saying; all she was trying to do at the moment was trying to find her phone. "My phone. I left it there with him" Candi said. Shiiit. Candi thought to herself. "Him?"Amber said to the girl. "Do you mind letting me borrow your phone?" Candi said to the girl as she looked up into her eyes. "Sure..." Amber said hesitantly.

Candi quickly dialed in the one number she could remember. 911.

30 minutes later...

"Look I know your going through a lot right now but there were no signs of anyone else in the bathroom with you!" The sheriff stated to the hysterical girl.

"Why doesn't anyone believe me! He was there!" The girl said as she tried to hold in her tears. Candi turned her head to see Wes talking to his friends. She wished he would comfort her in her time of need but she knew he wouldn't go anywhere near her especially when his mother was around.

Wes's POV

She seems so distraught. Wes had thought to himself as he was looking over in her direction. From what Amber had told him it seemed that the attack had happened right after he had left her. Shit. This is all my fault isn't it? Wes kept thinking to himself.

"You know you really shouldn't blame yourself for what happened to her." His friend Mindy had told him. "She's probably lying. You know what! She's probably the killer."

"Don- '' Wes tried to say before he was cut off by the various loud speakers around the school.

"Attention Panthers, a reminder that all classes and school activities are canceled tomorrow due to public safety concerns. The principal had stated over the PA system.

Wes's phone buzzed once. "It's Sam." Wes said to the two girls. "Ugh she's coming?" Amber had said with a clear look of annoyance. "Yeah." Wes said in response. "Watch everything get worse." Amber said sarcastically. Wes turned his head away from Amber to see if Candi was still getting interrogated by his mom.

"Listen all I'm saying is with everything going on right now I think it's time we take our relationship to the next most intimate level. His friend Chad said as he sat down on the table next to him. "He wants me to accept his find my fam request." Liv chimed in as she stared at her boyfriend.

Wes couldn't really care about his friends' relationship problems all he could do was hope his friend was going to be ok.

Candi's POV

All Candi wished right at that moment was that she could just go and be with Wes and his friends even if she didn't know them that well.

"Well I guess you're good to go." Sheriff Judy said to her. Candi was caught off guard by the Sheriff's comment. "I'm good to go?" Candi said. "Yes your good to go Miss Cooper." Sheriff Judy sighed. "Thanks I guess?" Candi said in response to the Sheriff's comment.

Candi started to walk towards Wes and his friends. As Candi walked closer and closer she got caught off guard by a snide remark from one of Wes's friends.

"Hey Wes you were right. Ghostface is back." Mindy said as she stared the girl down.

Candi froze up not knowing what to do or what to say in response to what she had just heard.

"Hey Tara's awake! I'm going to the hospital. Any of you coming?" Wes said to everyone as he got up to leave. Everyone all said they would go with him except for their friend Liv. "Hey Candi. I know you don't know Tara that well but do you want to come?" Wes said to his friend.

'Sure let's go..." Candi said in a sarcastic way.

God who knows maybe they'll be nicer to her if she goes with them to comfort their friend?
