~The Final Girl~

~One~

Isabella had been sitting crisscross on her bed, her Physic's homework sitting in front of her. 
She had only taken that class because Mindy promised to take Psychology class with her. 
Her phone lit up with a text from her childhood best friend Grace. 

'Wtf is sohcahtoa???' 

Izzy couldn't help but smile and laugh slightly at the text. 

'It's a Trig acronym babes' 

'I'm going to fail this class I swear to god' 

'Praying for you' 

Izzy then shut her phone off, staring back at her homework. 
"Stupid physics" she mumbled, she rubbed her eyes before laying back in her bed, staring at the clutter of poster's on her walls. 
The brunette twiddled with the pen in her hands, thinking of all the formula's in her head. 

Her thought process was interrupted when she heard her window sliding open. 
Izzy sat up quickly, her heart began to beat faster as her curtain's crept open. 
Her fears eased when she heard the familiar voice. 

"You should really keep your window's locked Ms. Prescott,"  
There Mindy Meeks-Martin stood. 
Mindy and Izzy had only lived about five houses apart, making the two's hangout's relatively easy.
"And you really shouldn't be creeping through people's window's"
Mindy smiled as she sat down on Izzy's bed, glancing at her Physic's homework.
"You're using the wrong formula for this one hun" 

Izzy couldn't help but blush, she joined Mindy on her bed. 
"What? I thought I got it right?" 
Mindy smiles as she shakes her head. "It would've been right if she were looking for Kinetic energy, but we want potential for this one" 
Izzy groaned as she rested her head on Mindy's shoulder, surprising Mindy a bit. 
The young Prescott girl had been notorious for not loving physical touch from other people. The only person who Mindy had seen her really show affection to was Grace. 
It had been a bit of a trauma response from not having a very present mother and an unpleasant father. 

Mindy rested her head atop of Izzy's, doodling on her homework sheet. 
"I can't believed you convinced me to take this stupid class" 
"It's not that bad" 
Izzy turned to face the movie fanatic, "It's pretty awful"

Before any other words could be exchanged, Isabella's phone began to ring. 
"Hello?" 
"Izzy?" 
"Wes? What's up? Are you okay?" 
"It's about Tara" 
Mindy looked at Izzy with concern, "What's going on?" 
"Is Tara okay?" Isabella felt a lump form in her throat. 
"She was attacked, by someone in a fucking Ghostface mask. She's at the hospital right now and just had surgery, we aren't aloud to see her, but we can tomorrow when she wakes up" 
Isabella's heart began to beat faster and she took a shaky breath. 
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow" 
Izzy quickly hangs up her phone, running her hands through her hair. 

"Iz?" 
"Tara was attacked, by someone wearing a Ghostface mask" 
"Holy shit" Mindy lets out a shaky breath. 
The two remained silent, letting the information sink in.

Izzy had not gotten a good sleep. She had been tossing and turning all night. Tara was one of her closest friends and the fact that she had been so close to death made her stomach twirl into a million knots. 

Isabella practically jumped out of her seat at her makeup desk when she heard a honk outside her house. 
She peeks out her window, sighing in relief when she see's it's just Grace's car. 
She grabbed her phone and her bag and made her way out the door, walking straight past her father, who was sitting at the kitchen table. 

Isabella hopped in Grace's passenger seat. 
"Morning, I got you a coffee. I'm assuming you got no sleep last night" 
"Thanks, I did not" Isabella sipped the Iced coffee Grace had bought for her. 
"Me neither, Math is kicking my ass" 
Isabella looked over at her best friend, "Dude" 
Grace rolled her eyes, "Okay, I was thinking about Tara, and I was also worried about you" 

Isabella scrunched her nose in confusion. 
"Me? Why were you worried about me?" 
"Because. The last name Prescott is a fucking curse. I'm surprised it wasn't you who was attacked" 
"Jesus Grace, a bit too soon, don't you think?" 
Izzy was confused by the Glib nature, especially considering her older sister had been murdered during the last massacre. While Grace had been super young when it happened, it was still a heartbreak for the whole family. 
"Sorry, I'm not good at processing this traumatizing shit. I'm the funny, hot friend, not the sappy, emotional" 

Isabella didn't say anything, instead just looking out the window.

Isabella had been walking to the picnic table where Amber, Wes and Mindy had already been sitting, Wes was on the phone with someone. 
Mindy took one of her earphones out at her best friend's arrival. 
"Hi Iz" 
"Hey, how are you guys doing?" 
The group gave shrugs as the response. 

"That was Sam?" 
"She's coming?" Izzy asked, taking a seat. Grace joined them a few moments later. 
"Who's coming?" 
"Sam" Amber hissed. "Watch everything get worse" she muttered. 

"Listen, all I'm saying is with everything going on right now, I think it's time we take our relationship to the most...Intimate level" Chad had walked over to the group, his arm wrapped around his girlfriend Liv. 
"Ew" Grace scrunched her nose. 
"No, he wants me a accept his find my fam request" 
"It's the smartest option for a would be killer on the loose. We'll both know exactly where each other are" 
"Aww, you can stalk me like a jealous boyfriend" 
"And you can stalk me like a jealous boyfriend" 

"Sounds likes an easy way for the killer to track you" Izzy glanced at the couple.  
"Please, they are just doing it because they aren't having sex yet" Grace teased, making Izzy smile and playfully roll her eyes. 
"Don't do it Liv, you want to make it harder for you to find. Cover your computer camera, delete all social media, disable GPS-" 
"Ah, Thank you Edward Snowden. Actually, your mother just interrogated me about Tara's attempted murder, once was just so fun" 
 Wes stepped in to defend his mother. "She's asking everyone, Ghostface is back" 
Isabella felt chills go down her spine as she straightened her posture. 

"The press still isn't saying Ghostface." Mindy finally added to the conversation. 
"They probably don't want to cause a panic" Izzy added. 
 "Yeah well, it'll probably get out by the second or third killing" 
"Jesus Mindy" Amber began sitting up. "There wasn't a first killing, Tara's still alive" 
"Well she could still die" Mindy shrugged. 
"What the fuck!?" 
"Mindy!"
"She's right. The killer is also probably planning on coming back for her." Grace added. 
"Fucking christ Grace!" Isabella turned to her best friend. 
"What? It's a possibility"
"I'm just telling you guys, arm up, okay? Pepper spray? Check. Taser? Check."
"Girlfriend repellent? Check!" Amber added, making the group laugh. 

Liv's face suddenly dropped. "Is that...Vince?" 
Isabella quickly turned around, "Gross," 
"Wait, the creep you hooked up with last summer?" 
"Yeah, he worked with Me and Tara" 
"Wow, he worked with Tara too? I didn't know that part" Isabella says as Mindy pulls out her phone, taking a picture" 
"He's been stalking my Instagram the last couple weeks, posting the creepiest shit" 

"How about it's time we introduce him to Hobbs and Shaw?" Chad flexed his biceps, making Izzy and Grace both roll their eyes. 
"Yeah Chad, probably not the best to start a fight right in front of the whole cop squad" Grace scoffed. 
"It's fine, looks like he's leaving. Thanks anyway boy's" Liv smirked. 
Amber than sat up. "Tara said she fought back hard, you got bruises." 
Chad hid his arms slightly. "They're from football practice." 
"Hm, sure" Grace added.

"Tara's awake, she just texted" Wes glanced up at the group. Isabella was the first to grab her bag. 
"I'm heading to the hospital" Wes says. 
The whole group began to collect their things, "Actually guys, I can't. But I'll catch up with you later" Liv says, making a few member's of the friend group give her strange looks, but they left anyway.
