After I told Himbry what happened, he decided that school will be suspended until the killer is caught, for the safety of the students. I got my things together quickly, walking out of school and waiting by the fountain for the boys, nervously looking around me.

Stu and Billy came strolling over to me, Stu with a grin and a flower in his hands. "Whatever you did, sunshine, on behalf of the entire student body, thank you!" Stu laughed, handing me the small flower.

I shook my head, "Well, I guess in that case the nut job should have shown up here sooner."

"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" Billy asked as we all started to walk towards the parking lot.

"I'm fine. He didn't hurt me," I said, giving him a small smile. "I got a good hit in though."

The boys looked at each other before St turned to me with a smirk. "That's our girl," he laughed.

"Yeah, I bet it was a good one," Billy muttered.

"So, anyway, I was thinking we have ourselves a party to celebrate this impromptu fall break," Stu suggested.

"I don't know. I mean there's a killer running around," I said.

"Aw, don't worry, we'll be there to protect you," he said, pulling me to his side.

I chewed on my lip, going over the many bad things that could possibly happen. "I really wanted to try and talk to Tatum and Sidney today. See if we can work things out."

"Well, I'll invite them! You can talk to them there!"

"I don't know..."

"Please? For me?" he begged, sticking out his bottom lip.

I looked at him for a moment before sighing, "Fine."

"Yesss!" he grinned, leaning down and giving me a big sloppy kiss. I laughed, wiping my mouth off with a shake of my head.

"I'm going to go talk to Tatum and invite her, meet me at blockbuster?" he asked and I nodded.

"I'll meet up with you guys later. I've got to go talk to Mr. Davis about making up a test when we come back," Billy said, giving Stu a strange look.

"Oh, okay." I said and the three of us went our separate ways.

I took my time going to the Blockbuster, deciding to stop and get some ice cream before going inside. I sat at a park bench while eating my ice cream, just people watching.

Eventually I saw Tatum and Sidney walking into the grocery store and Stu heading towards me and the video store. "Hey, what are you doing out here?" he asked.

I took the last bite of my cone as I stood up. "I stopped for some ice cream," I said with a big grin.

He chuckled and we made our way into the store. I instantly spotted Randy pushing a cart full of VHS tapes down an aisle. I smiled, strolling my way over to him. "Hey Randy," I grinned, stopping beside him.

"Oh, hey Haze," he smiled as he grabbed a stack of movies. However that smile dropped as Stu came up, hitting the tapes out of his hands.

"Oops," Stu smirked, watching as Randy rolled his eyes and started picking them up.

I bent down, helping him. Stu narrowed his eyes at Randy as he smiled gratefully at me. "Thank you, Hazel."

I smiled back, setting them on the cart. "Jeze, this place is packed tonight," Stu said, looking around.

"We had a run in the mass murder section," Randy mumbled, sorting through the movies.

I chuckled and Stu smiled at me before looking back at Randy. "You coming to my fiesta?"
