"Okay, so, tonight," Wes started after coming up to me in the school hallway. "My mom's working late, so movie night?"

I turned my head to my boyfriend with a smile. "Duh. I'll bring popcorn. What should we watch?"

"There's those new horror movies on Netflix." He suggested.

"The Fear Street ones?" I asked and he nodded. "Sure, Mindy said they're enjoyable."

"Cool. Okay. Then it's a date." Wes then took my hand and linked our fingers before we kept walking to find our friends. "Do you wanna come over before or after dinner?"

"I could pick something up on my way over if you'd like?"

"Perfect." Then Wes spotted someone down the hallway. "Oh, there's Amber. She's probably looking for the others, too."

I looked past the swarms of students in the hallway of Woodsboro High until I saw our 'friend.'

I use that term very loosely now.

I can't believe she just came to school that day and acted like everything was normal when she literally attacked Tara that same night.

This was our last day of normalcy in our lives.

Our last day of school without people looking at us or whispering.

It all started after Tara was attacked that night.

"Hey, Amber!" I called out and she jumped before she spun around.

"Oh, hi, guys." Amber put on a smile as we approached her. "Just looking for the others."

"Yeah, same." I told her. "We might go check the benches outside. Wanna come?"

"Uh," Amber looked between Wes and I. "Yeah, sure."

I hadn't even noticed how strange she had been acting that whole day, but looking back at it now, I can't believe I missed it.

The three of us headed outside and that's where we found Mindy, Chad, Tara and Liv.

Since she had started dating Chad over the summer, Liv had been hanging out with our group a lot more, especially around school.

"Hey, guys." Tara greeted us happily.

I sat down beside her and Wes took his usual spot beside me.

"What are we talking about?" Wes asked Chad who shrugged.

"Mindy's talking about scary movies as per usual. Only Tara's listening, as per usual." Chad replied.

"Because you're an asshole." Mindy told her brother.

"What movies?" Amber asked and joined in on Mindy and Tara's conversation like everything was normal.
