Woodsboro High School

It wasn't a pleasant ride to school; Billy was pissy and complained about how he wasn't getting attention from his girlfriend. I was glad when he parked the Camaro in a parking spot. Because as soon as the car stopped I was opening my door, getting out, and shutting the door before he could say anything else. When I got inside, I walked up the stairs, and walked straight ahead towards my locker. I stopped half-way when I saw a figure standing beside it, head tilted towards the floor, a rose in their hand.

I was about to turn around to go back down the stairs but Parker lifted his head and looked eyes with me. “Yn!” I let out a ling sigh and refrained from rolling my eyes, then I walked the rest of the away down the hall to my locker. “This is for you as an apology for last night.” He handed me the rose and I gently took it. “Um…thanks.” Turning towards my locker, I out in my combination and opened it. “So, I was wondering if, maybe, you'd like to go on a date this weekend…with me?” He sounded so hopeful. I almost hadn't to have to decline his offer.…almost. “I would but I have plans this weekend. We're going up to our families cabin.”

That's not true. I don't have plans this weekend. Not unless you count sitting in my room room read and write. Maybe watch a movie. Ignore my brother at all costs so I don't need to listen to him bitch. I would hang out with Casey, but she'll be too busy with Stu, probably fucking like nasty little rabbits.

“Oh.” That's it. That's the only response I get. Now I am feeling bad. Fuck! I am going to regret the next words that come out of my mouth. “We could go tomorrow night. I don't have work.” I hate myself. Just kill me. Why the hell am I like this?! “Yeah?” A smile spreads across his face, eyes bright and full of hope. I just nodded and try to smile. I have no interest in this guy what's-so-ever. “Yeah, pick me up at seven.” Now he has that cocky look. You know the one.

The one where they get a side smile, run their tongue along their bottom lip, and the bit it, all while rubbing their hands together. “Seven it is gorgeous!” Then he was running down the hall to his buddies. I just made a huge mistake. Now I am going to have to talk Billy and all our friends into going up to the cabin this weekend just so none of us are seen in town. Hopefully nobody has plans. I grabbed my stuff I would need for my first few classes and headed to Enligh.

When lunch rolled around I went outside to meet with everyone at the fountain. When I got there Billy was sitting with his elbows on his knees looking at the ground, hands balled into fists. Stu sat beside him with his arm around Casey. Casey never really fit into this group. Sidney was sitting with Tatum and Randy was in between Casey and Tatum. “Hey?” Billy looked up at me and his face was set in a hard look, jaw clenched, eyes full of hatred. Casey jumped up and came over to hug me. “Hey, you! Where were you this morning?”

“Um, I went straight to my locker then went to class early to look over my assignment. What's happening here?” I asked. “Nothing,” Billy snapped. “Okay, well, I have a little problem,” I said. “What's the problem?” Randy asked. I bit my bottom lip and took a deep breath. “Parker asked me out for this weekend.” I held up my hand before anyone could say anything. “I told him I couldn't because I had plans.” I looked over at Billy. “I told him we would be up at the cabin. So I was thinkinng…if nobody has any plans we could drive up after school Friday and stay until Sunday.” 

“I don't have anything to do,” Randy said. I smiled at him and looked to Tatum and Sidney. “I don't have anything going on. Can I bring Eric?” Tatum asked. Eric was a guy she way currently seeing, that she swears shes not dating. Stu and Casey opted in saying they didn't have anything going on. Billy was looking over at Sidney. We were all looking at Sidney, waiting for her to say something. “Come on, Sid, it'll be good for you to get away from here for a couple days,” Tatum said. Sid sighed and nodded her head, “yeah, okay.”

I looked over at Billy and he rolled his eyes. “Fine. I'll talk to dad about it.” I smiled and felt a little relief. “Oh, I have one more problem.” They all looked at me, waiting for me to elaborate. “I told him I'd go on a date with him Thursday.” Casey elbowed Stu in the ribs when he went to laugh, Billy rolled his eyes, which is nothing new. But Randy's reaction caught my attention the most. His fingers curled in towards his palms, jaw ticked as he clenched his teeth together.

I sat down between Casey and Randy. “Wyo'd you agree to go out with that creep in The first place?” Randy asked. I looked at him and shrugged. “I don't know. I mean he's just goimg to keep asking me out. Maybe if I go out with him once and show him I'm not enjoying myself then he'll leave me alone.” He scoffed at that and shook his head. “Guys like him don't take no for an answer, yn. So what are you going to do when he tries to male a move on you and you refuse so he decides take what he wants anyway?”

I didn't know what to say to that. I've never seen Randy act or talk like that. He was normally calm and kind. He was the movie geek of the group, knows everything about moives, especially horror movies. “If he does he'll be fucking dead.” Everyone's heads snapped over to Billy. He wasn't looking at anyone. His head was down while he pulled a string from his shirt. “Once you find out where he's taking you, let me know and I'll follow along. If you get uncomfortable just give me a signal and I'll step in.” With that he got up and walked back towards the school.
