Joelle had just finished her first two classes when she walked to the cafeteria. Everyone watched her as her two personal bodyguards walked behind her. Joelle ignored the whispers and grabbed her food and drink.

"Guys, how do I tell a girl I like her?" Mickey asked Hallie and Derek. "Who?" asked Hallie. "You don't need to know," Mickey brushed her off. Hallie raised an eyebrow and took a bite of her apple. "Just tell her. Just like I'm going to do with Joelle like that, pay attention," said Derek as he pointed at Mickey. Mickey's smile disappeared. 

"Okay," said Hallie as she sensed the uncomfortable atmosphere. "Other topic, who do you guys think the killer is."

"I think it's Randy," whispered Mickey. "What?" asked Derek in surprise. "Okay, I know he was a victim at first, but he's kind of freaked out," whispered Mickey. "Come on, Randy. The boy is harmless," Hallie defended him. 

"They said that about Dahmer, too," said Mickey as he pointed to Hallie. Hallie raised an eyebrow and leaned back in her chair. "Do you know who I think it is?" whispered Derek as he watched Joelle pay for her food and drink. "Who?" asked Mickey as he leaned forward. "Those two psychos from last year. I mean who else? And the killer is obviously after Joelle," said Derek as he and Mickey looked at Joelle who came walking toward them.

"Hey, guys. What are you talking about?" Joelle asked her friends with a smile. "Nothing," Mickey lied. Joelle raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. "Do you have anything to do after lunch, Joel?" asked Derek. "Yeah, I'm meeting Randy and Dewey at a cafe," answered Joelle as she sat down next to Mickey. 

The three shared a look. Joelle frowned confused. What was going on? 

"Where are your personal bodyguards?" asked Hallie to break the silence. "Oh there. The one the right is Officer Richard. He is divorced and has two children and the one on the left is Officer Andrews, he is single now, but I think he is gay," told Joelle as she pointed to her personal bodyguards. Hallie looked open-mouthed at Joelle

"Gay?" Hallie mouthed at her. Joelle nodded with a smile. 

"Derek? What's going through your mind?" asked Mickey when he saw that Derek's mind was somewhere else. "This morning I woke up with a strange feeling and I decided to-," Derek started to sing, but Joelle quickly cut him off. "Please don't sing, Derek," said Joelle as she looked around her. 

"Why not?" asked Derek as he stood up. "Because I hate singing," snapped Joelle. "Yeah, Derek. Pay attention," Mickey teased him.

Derek sighed.

"Will you at least take this necklace?" he asked. "No, and I already said I'm in love with someone else," said Joelle angrily as she walked away. "I'll go after her," said Mickey to Derek and Hallie. "And, hey Derek? Thanks, for the lesson."

Derek rolled his eyes and sighed.

Mickey found a frustrated Joelle outside. "Hey, Joel! Are you okay?" asked Mickey as he gently placed his hands on her shoulders. "No! Why isn't he taking the hint? I literally rejected him twice and still, ugh!" Joelle yelled angrily. "Hey, hey. Calm down, okay?" said Mickey as he grabbed Joelle by her wrist. 

"I can't. Not with all this killing going on," Joelle sighed as tears formed in her eyes. "Calm down, Joel. They'll catch him, I promise you," Mickey reassured her. "Thank you, Mickey," said Joelle as she gave him a hug. Mickey smiled and hugged her back. 

Joelle released him and kissed him. Mickey was surprised at first, but then kissed back. "I have to go," said Joelle out of breath. "Yeah, I get it," sighed Mickey. "Bye," said Joelle. God, what had she done?!

Mickey looked after her with a big smile. But in the distance he saw a pair of angry blue and brown eyes. What the fuck, were they being watched?!

Mickey looked around, there was no one there. When he looked back again, the pair of eyes were gone. 

Weird.
