This entire trip had been a disaster so far. And now there's a killer with us?? Why did I decide to go!!?

Never ever again. No way.
We rubbed our sleepless eyes and went back to our rooms. We took out our breakfast snacks.

It was silent for a very long time.
"It can't be one of us.. we're literally kids!!" Sam said with food in his mouth.
"Anyone could be the killer...'' Blue said grimly. We all stayed silent again.


I looked over at the other girls. Andy sat close with Celeste. I looked closely at them, then looked over at Jazzie. She had once had long soft strawberry blonde hair but now it was platinum white, straightened hair. She dyed it to be like me, what can I say? Everyone wants to be me. I have the perfect life, the perfect boyfriend and LOTS of money.

Why stand out when you can fit in perfectly? 


I rubbed my hands together. It had gotten chilly. The theatre turned off the heating during the day, as it got too hot for the actors and workers. I looked over at Elvio who was now talking to the other boys. I stood up.

"We need to find out who did this!'' I said, reluctantly. Everyone stared at me. 

"What?'' I crossed my arms.

''You're joking, right..?'' Celeste said, pulling her glasses off to clean them. Even Elvio looked at me judgingly.


''Baby, you do realise that someone has been KILLED. We can't go interfering with an active crime scene! The cops said they'd have the killer by the show day which is literally 2 days away. We just need to wait until then, and watch the show and enjoy our last night!'' He said.

''That is genuinely the most reasonable thing you've ever said.'' Andy commented. He gave her a look, but then locked eyes with me again. 

"We can't get involved. What if WE'RE next??" He pleaded me. I rolled my eyes and sat down again.


''I doubt we'll be next. Why would they kill US anyways? We're random teenagers that came to the theatre for a trip." I sighed.

"What if it's someone who doesn't want newcomers to the theatre. It has been closed down for 7 years. Could be a family member.'' Celeste speculated. I rolled my eyes again. Then I stopped myself from saying something sarcastic.


What if she's right? What if we ARE next? I slapped my forehead. Pull yourself together! We won't be next. We just need to stay in the theatre, or maybe even more safe, in our rooms.

I lay down on the floorboards and groaned. 

''I'm bored.'' I said. Andy rolled her eyes and sighed.
