Freshmen Don't Speak

Chapter 5 // Searching.

The whole group got split up into 2 groups.

People who search for a key, people who check the windows.

I'm searching for a key. Although it's really risky, we split up anyways. Tyler was kind of right, it's more efficent.

But I'm still thinking about Keith.

Man do I miss him.

I know he was kinda stupid, but he was still my friend.

Fuck.

Oh and we did the 30 minute thing again, but this time is 15 so it's less riskier.

RII-

Yeah those 15 minutes are over.

Walking the whole way back (which took forever), I noticed something.

One of the doors that was previously left open.

Had been shut.

"That's weird..." I mutter to myself.

I should tell the others.

I rush to get back.

Only Samantha, Ally and Moxie are back.

But I got no time to lose.

"Hey!" I shout, grabbing their attention, "Yeah?" Sam responds.

"Listen, this might be weird, but someone could be dead," I began, "One of the previously open doors was shut, and I might be anxious for worrying about this, but we can't risk losing someone else,"

"Well? Where the fuck is it?" Moxie yells.

"Follow me," I say, going to the door.

Arriving, I was going to open it, when Tyler and Eliza came.

"Why are you guys here?" Sam asked.

"Well, the rest of you were here, and I was checking something with Tyler so..." Eliza answered.

"Oh," Sam replied.

"Why are you guys here anyways?" Tyler asked.

"It's a bit of a longer story, but in simple terms, this door wasn't closed beforehand, and considering the circumstances, someone could be dead," I say.

"Then open the damn door," Tyler said, opening the "damn door".

I peer in.

...

Evelyn was there.

Just, on the ground. Dead.

She looks as if she'd been beaten to death with a bat or something.

That doesn't mean the blood wasn't splattered everywhere.

Because it was. Smeared almost.

"What the fuck..." Tyler said, looking horrified.

I think things hurt more when it's somebody you're close with.

"Listen we're not splitting up again," Moxie said, "It's just stupid,"

"2 people is way more than enough," She continued.

...

"It's getting dark already," Ally notes, "Some time ago I managed to get the emergency generator here working somehow, but I'm not sure how long it'll last,"

"Well that's just great!" Moxie comments.

"I can go turn on the generator, you guys should search for an external light source," Ally says.

"You shouldn't go on your own," Samantha says.

"Yeah, I mean what did Moxie just say?" Eliza agreed.

"Listen I'll be fine," Ally reassured.

"No the fuck you won't?" Moxie yelled.

As they argued, my eyes darted to Tyler. He doesn't look the same.

Even worse is that he's been silent this whole time. That's not like him.

I feel bad for him, I was never close to Evelyn, but I know he was.

"I'm just gonna go," Ally spoke.
