Freshmen Don't Speak

Chapter 3 // Did I forget to mention...

"Oh my god, do you guys think we should turn this into our own personal hangout spot?!" Samantha suggests with a grin.

"But wouldn't we have to clean this place?" Eliza asks.

"Then let's split up and clean the place!" Samantha adds.

"Yeah, but I'm not sure if 8 teens can clean a whole mall," Keith steps-in.

"That's why we should clean the important bits, and not just everywhere," Samantha suggests.

"That sounds alright," Tyler agreed.

"Yeah, I think that'd be cool" I reply.

"So it's settled then?" Samantha asks.

Most people in the room agree, besides those who already have.

"Okay I think we should split up and clean for 30 minutes and then meet up again," Eliza shares.

////

So we all decided to do it, and I set an alarm on my phone for 30 minutes and its at 29 so it's gonna go off so-

BEEEP BE-

Did I say soon? I meant now.

As we all agreed, I head back to the enterance.

Again, I'm one of the earlier ones.

...

Tyler finally arrives.

But where's Keith?

How is Keith later than Tyler? Nobodies more late than Tyler.

"Guys, where's Keith?" Ally asks, clearly concerned.

"Maybe he's smoking weed where he was cleaning?" I suggest, "Seems like something he'd do,"

"Yeah but where was he anyways?" Eliza asks, turning in our direction.

"I think in a janitors closet, which there's only one of," Ally answers.

"Well do you know where that is?" Evelyn asks.

"Yeah, I can go there right now," Ally answers.

"Lead the way," Tyler said.

So Ally "led the way" to the janitors closet.

...

I hope that he's okay.

I really do.

I mean- I know he's probably just smoking weed and simply lost track of time.

But,

Something in me tells me he's hurt, or dead, or something.

But I'm being irrational.

He's okay.

And I've been thinking too much anyways.

We're already here anyways!

"Okay who's opening the door?" Ally asks, "Because it's not gonna be me,"

"Let's make Noah do it!" Moxie suggests.

I glance away, "Uh, fine!" I mutter, "It's just a room anyways!"

...

I look at the door.

Creeeaaaaakk...
