Present:
Tejas got up from his chair throwing it aside, a bowl of his favourite food, Haleem, flipping over and falling onto the floor in the process.
He walked towards Mysha.
"What the hell do you mean you killed her? and where did you get all this blood from-?"
Mysha slowly turned her gaze, her eyes that were hidden behind her matted hair towards tejas.
"I bashed her head against the wall. Over and over. I dont know if shes alive."
Everyone continued to stare at her. How were they to believe something as crazy as that?
Finally, pranav got up, followed by everyone else on the table.
"C-can you explain, maybe?" Pranav stuttered.
"No. We have to- we have to call the police." Mysha responded.
"Isnt that a bit too m-much? lets take you to the infirmary first. Explain what happened there." Tejas put in.
Sameeha and anushka ran to her, putting their hands under her shoulders on either side, trying to help her walk to the infirmary, but Mysha was absolutely determined to not leave. She kicked and screamed and even tried to bite one of them to let her go. She looked distraught.
"T-THEY'LL ATTACK THE OTHERS IF WE DONT DO SOMETHING NOW! YOU DONT GET IT! THEY'RE IN THE BASKETBALL FIELD WE HAVE TO KILL THEM! LEAVE ME!" She continued to roar.
The whole cafeteria had their heads turned towards Mysha at this point. Some strangers had thought she had gone insane, and the other strangers came to tie her down and carry her to the nurse.
A whole crowd was standing around the friend groups table now, confused.
"GUYS! PLEASE GO BACK AND HAVE YOUR FOOD! SHES A BIT INSANE BUT I PROMISE ITS NOT ANYTHING! ITS PROBABLY A SILLY PRANK.!" Tejas yelled out to the crowd that was forming to watch a rabid mysha being dragged away by a group of people.
Questioning eyes darted around, students suspiciously looking at one another and the 4 boys.
"I heard she has ptsd from her dad being in a drug ring.."
"Yeah, shes probably finally lost it..."
"No, shes just built like that. She stole my shoes from the gymnasium once. She doesn't even play gymnastics. She ran away once and refused to return them for some fucking reason."
Rumours spread, but eventually quiet down as the crowd diluted back around the cafeteria, some people going back to their seats and others returning to class out of fear.
"Yo... Guys... should we check out the basketball court...? just incase?" Manish suggested.
"Are you really falling for that? Its probably one of khayati and Myshas brand new not very funny pranks." Pranav added in.
"That doesnt explain the blood.. Or her behaviour. She isn't that good of an actor." Tejas said stopping pranavs theory. They could still hear mysha gnawing and yelling in the background being dragged away.
Before they knew it, Ayush approached them, a few steel plates in one hand and a few bars in the other hand.
"Got this from the backdoor of the cafeteria. Lets go see whats going on."
Before anyone could respond, they were handed either one of these materials.
"Im telling you, its probably nothing." Pranav once again said.
"Better to be safe than to not." Tejas added, pranav finally sighing and nodding his head in agreement.
And so they began their way to the basketball court.
