Elsie's pov

"Dear students of Leaway high, I am sorry to inform you that another of our own students, alexia, has fallen victim to the new uprising killer-" the principles voice drones on but I can't focus. Most of the students being murdered are like me. Popular and over spoke about "Elsie? You okay?" I'm quickly snapped out of my daze, being brought back by my boyfriend, mark. "Yea I'm fine babe..just a little jittery" I explain. He smirks "oh please, you'll be fine" he says rolling his eyes. "Hey guys!" Millie says practically popping out of nowhere "oh! Hey Millie" mike beams "I should get to class I'll leave you two to it" I smile weakly "yea sure whatever" mike says grabbing Millies hand and running off. I slowly walk back to my class, the hallways are utter chaos. Kids are screaming, crying, laughing, they're even protesting. I sigh before entering my maths class "glad you could join us miss Anderson" my teacher bellows, he's always had it out for me "S-sorry sir, just the assembly and-" "I dont care you still getting logged, just sit down" he sighs, even he seems out of it today. I look around the room and the only seats available are ones completely isolated or one next to the 'weird' kid. I never found out why she has that name, but all I know is I can't be alone right now. I slowly move the seat and sit next to her. "You actually wanna sit with me?" She asks leaning on her hand facing me "yea why not? and I don't wanna be alone right now" I say moving my hair out of my face. She seems to study my face from under her blindfold, I look down at my lap shifting slightly uncomfortable from the staring. She grabs my chin lifting my me to face her "eyes on me" she says a little angry "s-sorry" I whimper. She blushes a little facing away from me "yea it's fine just.. names Avery" she murmurs looking down at her book

Half an hour later and not a word has passed between us. "Shit.." I murmer looking down at the paper our teacher has just placed in front of us. There's is no way I'm going to finish this homework. "What's up" Avery asks, she sounds bored and very interested. "I'm fucked" I whine holding my head in my hands. "I don't understand a word- or number, in this paper and then he's gonna give me a detention and then-" "hey, slow down jesus" she says "if you want, you could come round mine and i could go through it with you" i look at her in disbelief "really" hope laced in my voice. "Yea cmon" she packs her stuff up and leaves the room, I quickly follow suit rushing to catch up with her. I follow her out the school and down roads that progressively get quieter and quieter the further we went. She walked me down an alley and shivers went down my spine, I grabbed her arm holding it tightly with both of mine "how much further?" I ask shakily staring at the shadows of the alley. She frees her arm from me wrapping it around my waist instead. I lean closer feeling safer in her embrace as she quickly leads us out of the alley. She looks back almost as if she was regretting a decision, but instead of going back she sighs pulling me to a house. She knocks three times in a pattern and someone who I presume is her brother opens the door. He looks at her, then me, then her again. He tilt's his head slightly motioning to me "fresh meat?" He asks, his voice coming out a bit raspy "this is different" she sighs looking down slightly. He nods his head letting us in. Avery leads us to her room quickly, trying to hide the decor on the walls. "So what's the First question." She says, it's more of a demand than a question. I quickly fumble with my bag pulling out the homework"u-urm 2x+2y=14, 5x-3y=19?" I say really unsure. "Oh that's easy, it's X=5, y=2" she says proud. I look down at the paper in shock "wh...ah-i.HOW" I yell shocked. "It's easy. Cmere, I'll teach you" she laughs. We spend hours going over maths and making silly jokes. This is the first time in ages I've felt this happy with someone. It feels..nice "right, do you get it now?" She laughs "yes actually" I state laughing back as I throw a piece of popcorn at her. "Hey Ur sis? Can I talk to you?" Her brother asks popping his head in the room. He looks at her a bit urgently "ugh fine" she groans getting up and following him out. She doesn't close the door properly behind her "What has gotten into you!" He whisper yells at her. I know I shouldn't but I go and sit on her bed to listen to Thier conversation."I...I dont know okay! It's just.. she's different, and. Instead of yknow I kinda... Wanna keep her safe" Avery says. You can hear the smile in her voice towards the end of the sentence. We only met a couple hours ago and already I feel like I can trust her with all my secrets. "You've got to be kidding me! Is everything we've done a joke?!? Is what we've been working on for months just child play to you?!?! We can't stop now, we've got more to do. And what's so special about her! She's the same as all the others. Makes you feel wanted makes you happy makes you feel like you belong but one wrong move and boom your on you own. She'll break you make you feel worthless, make you regret everything and we both know it.. it's why we started killing people like her"
