When the Clock Strikes Midnight

8:00 p.m

A/N: Sorry that I didn't write yesterday. Took the day to read through both of my stories. Anyways, I'm sorry about how long and cruel that last chapter was. I promise that's the end of Micheal's and Peach's relations. For now. They are now back in the game. 3 people die. Wanna guess who?

I wake up, rubbing my eyes as I sit up. I remove my hands and my eyes focus, taking in my surroundings. We aren't in the library anymore. We are in a classroom. The walls are green, with white trimming. At the front of the room stands three of the men dressed in black. Except each of them has a different feature on them to tell them apart. They each have different pins on. All of them are flowers. One of them has a lily pin. The other has a rose pin. And the last one has a tulip pin. They are standing in front of a green chalk board that has the words 'Heads up 7 up' on them. I start to look at everyone who is sitting at a desk. I see everyone but Amy. After looking around the room again I can see that she is chained to the wall not very far from the edge of the chalkboard. I gasp, surprised that I didn't see her there before. She has a pin on her shirt, and after closer inspection, I can see that it says 'Teacher'. I sigh, realizing that if she has an important part of this, she can't be one of the ones who will be killed. I hear a groan and I direct my eyes to Jack, who has just woken up. He looks around the room, his eyes finding mine before noticing anything else. He tries to get up but his feet can't move. I look down at my feet and see that my ankles are chained to the legs of the chair so that I can't move. He doesn't try to struggle, instead just keeping his gaze locked on mine as more people start to stir. A school bell rings loudly and everyone jumps awake, looking around in confusion. I finally break eye contact with Jack, my eyes scanning everyone else in the room. We are in five lines. Each row has two people seated in front of one another. I am in the exact center, with Kevin sitting in front of me. In Jack's row, which is closest to the left wall, is himself and Veronica. In the row next to them is Dave and Theo. In the row on the other side of me is Anthony and Jackson. And in the final row, which is closest to the right wall, is Aaron and Hailey. Amy whimpers and everyone turns towards the front of the room. One of the men in black has just gone over and has started to uncuff her from the wall. She finally gets to standing and they place her on the left side of the teachers desk, grabbing an anklet from the ground and snapping it onto her ankle. She isn't able to move anywhere because of the anklet, and she whimpers again and she looks around the room. One of the men clears his throat and we all turn our attention to him. He smirks, looking around at all of us before his eyes land on mine.

"You guys are such good students. Sitting nicely in your chairs and paying attention to the speaker. Anyways, for this challenge, we will be playing Heads up 7 up. The three of us are the taggers. You will all lay your head down on the desk and stick your thumb up. If we tap your thumb you will bring your thumb down. Afterwards, the three who were selected will stand up and say who they think touched their finger. And yes, we realize that you guys are chained down. We will release the chains long enough for you to stand up, then we will rechain you afterwards. If any of you try anything Amy, who is standing up here as the teacher, will die. Now, unless you guys try anything, Amy will be surviving this round. Now, we will play until 3 people have guessed wrong. Let's begin. Amy will yell out the orders." We all look to Amy and she gulps, taking a deep breath.

"Head's down, thumbs up." We listen to what she says, all of us anxiously holding our breaths as we hear the footsteps around the room. I hear Hailey whimper and realize that she must have been picked. A couple of seconds goes by and the footsteps recede.

"Heads up 7 up." I look around the room, looking to see who got selected. Hailey, Dave, and Anthony were picked. They look around the room anxiously, all of them taking deep breaths.

"We will have you guys guess from the right side of the room to the left. So Hailey is first. You will guess the name of the flower that one of us has on, and Amy will tell you if you are correct." I look over at Amy quickly, who is holding her breath, before looking over at Hailey. Hailey looks at all of the men, her face quickly calculating who she thinks it is.
