𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 where Gin was with Heather closing up the shop. Heather barely ever closed the shop, but when she did Gin came with her cause she was scared to be alone at night. Which Gin understood cause they did live in Shadyside. A costumer just left the shop complaining about the book she returned, when the phone rang.

"Hello, This is Bedolton's we're closed" she answered the phone and started taking to someone that Gin assumed was Ryan Torres, he seems really nice and sweet when Heather described him. Gin left her current position from putting up books and going up to Heather.

"The phone hung up" she turned to Gin, "That's weird lights are still on" The Redhead responded pointing to the lights.

"Hello, Ryan" she continued saying walking out of the store. Gin stayed in the store for a second waiting. Then she heard Heather talking so she walked out to meet Ryan.

"Hi I'm Ryan you must be Gin, Heather's best friend" Ryan said holding out his hand and I shook it almost immediately "Yeah that's me nice to meet you" Gin continued then turned to Heather "I'm gonna get a smoothie from Sally since she loves me so much meet you back here after closing" Gin said to Heather leaving her with Ryan.

He seemed nice so Gin knew she would be okay.
Or so she thought, that's when she began her travels to across the mall. She tripped and fell dropping her dollar, looking up to see a person in a black outfit run right past her.

She thought nothing of it at the time, knowing how many creeps worked at the mall. She continued her walk when she stopped at Sally's Smoothie Shop and put her money on the counter before looking up.

"So Sally I was thinking-" she said but cut herself of when she saw Sally's covered in her own blood, eyes rolled back into her head "Holy Shit" she said starting to run.

"Fuck my money" she said turning around to quickly grab her money, "Heather" she whispered and started running to the other side of the mall. She started screaming Heather's name, then stopped when she saw the un masked face of Ryan Torres on top of Heather's almost lifeless body.

Stabbing her repeatedly in the chest as Heather muttered words to him. Gin's presence was suddenly noticed by Ryan and she started to scream which caught the attention of the Sunnyvale Chief of Police, Nick Goode.

{before you say anything I do dislike Nick Goode but Gin doesn't know yet so just go with it

The young Redhead started crying from the death of her best friend. She heard a gun shot being fired then got pulled into a hug from Officer. Nick Goode.

At school she just tried to pretend that Heather didn't just get killed in front of her. She was walking in the hallway with Deena, getting sorry for your loss faces from everyone.

Currently she was wearing her cheerleading outfit with her hair down one side held back with a barrette, and her friendship bracelet with Heather. She wore it when she passed.

Gin was talking to Deena about Josh being a nerd, trying to keep the topic away from Heather. They went to Deena's locker and Gin put a note inside of Heather's locker. When she turned around Deena was gone, probably with Kate and Simon, she thought.

Gin and Kate were pretty close due to cheer which made her close with a lot of other people, even Simon.

Gin always had a crush on Simon but nothing to big, well so she thought, she would always talk to Heather about him. Even if it was just the littlest conversation with him, she would tell Heather.

The entire school was gathered into the gymnasium. She stood next to Kate, "All cheerleaders, football players, and band attendees most come to the game" the principal announced.
Both Kate and Gin looked over to Deena who lead a finger gun to her head and pretended to get shot by it, leaving the two laughing.

Gin sat behind Kate and across from Simon as Deena sat behind them and begun listening to music. The whole bus ride was filled with talking as Simon started playing Rock Paper Scissors with Gin. And she won every time.

Deena left the three after seeing Sam get her ass squeezed by some Sunnyvale prick, "That's actually disgusting" Gin whispered to the two. "Yeah tell me about it. They don't even give a damn, the only people who show are the people who have too" Kate told Gin.

Their conversation was stopped by a fight between the foot players and some how Simon. Gin ran after Simon to try and help him, "Hey Sunnyvale bitch can you go fight someone with a ugly face like your own please" Gin said kicking the dirty blonde in the abdomen repeatedly until he fell off of Simon.

Gin immediately grabbed Simon and ran towards the others, they made it just in time to see Kate get him in the face, which they started laughing instantly.

——— ••••• ———

The Shadysider's started chanting, "Guys look" Deena called them over. The three looked out the window to see Sunnyvaler's throwing beer cans at the bus one including Sam.

Simon took his pant off to flash them, he was pushed out of the way by Deena "Kate grab on side" she said opening the emergency door. "Deena are you sure this a good idea" Gin asked, "Yeah" the girl responded, and started swinging the cooler.

Gin was nervous of what could happen, that's when Kate pointed out Deena's nose bleed. She let go of the cooler making it go flying off and hitting the car behind them.

"STOP THE BUS" Deena screamed at the driver, in which he did.

The redhead was trembling so much at the point it was obvious, Simon put his hand on her arm and brushed it up and down "it's gonna be alright okay" he said looking down on her wait for her to confirm.

"okay." She looked down to her intertwined hands being pulled to follow Kate in the woods. They reached the crash "I got this" Simon said to Deena, "How many fingers am I holding up" he asked.

"Three" Sam got out, "Simon that shit is for an overdose not this" Gin told him. He looked back at her "But it worked she's fine" then back to Sam as she spat blood onto his white shirt.

"Doesn't seem fine to me Simon" she added crossing her arms around her chest "Yeah that's cause she definitely isn't fine" He ran behind her.

They watched as Sam went into the ambulance and they each got brought forward for questioning.

"Gin I trust you can tell me what happened"
Officer Goode said, "Okay well, I was sitting in my seat right and then all of us heard this crash, Deena told the driver to stop which we did and we tried help that's what happened" Gin said with a bunch of hand motions.

"Then why are you trembling" he questioned, "It's not every day when you see to tragic events happen in a short amount of time sir" she ended and walked off
