This one's a long one...!!

୨⎯may 6th ⎯୧

Sam had spent that whole night in fear. She didn't even sleep, she just stayed up, her phone in her left hand and her scissors in her right. She was even scared to leave her house, fearing whoever it was would be right outside waiting for her. But they weren't.

She went around to find some of her friends, finally landing on demetri.

"Oh, hey." He says, tying his shoes beside the old file cabinets in which she found him, considering it was their last day of school, she was confused on why he was in the old classroom she always went to when she had one of her panic attacks.

"What... are you doing here?" She approached.

"I'm tying my shoes." He looked up. "...oh... uh... okay.. anyway. Can I talk to you about something...?" She grimaced at the thought of what happened the night before.

"Sure." He mumbled, finishing what he was doing as he stood up straight. "Not... here." She said, leading him out the room.

They went down to the first floor, a distant amount away from everyone else but still close enough that no attacks could happen.

"Listen.. I got this strange call.. and these strange texts last night." Sam hesitated but stood close to demetri to show him the texts from the unknown stranger.

"Oh wow that guys eager." Demetri grimaced. "This isn't something to joke about." Sams voice is a bit stern. "Can you tell me why you haven't told your boyfriend Miguel about this?" He asked. Sam went silent.

"I didn't... well. I called Miguel last night. He helped me through most of the night. But... I haven't seen him today. I was looking all day." Sam explains, checking her surroundings.

"...we'll find him after school okay?" Demetri gives Sam a firm pat on the shoulder, to which Sam nods.

After school, the 2 teens stopped by a coffee shop. They were simply just chatting, waiting for Miguel. Before demetri starts to notice one of the dudes working there.

"What are you looking at?" Sam follows his gaze.

"You're getting stalked by a stab movie fein. And... I think that's that one police guys son. That one that showed up when we were all fighting at the school?" He explained, Sam shivered at the thought of what happened almost a year ago. "He has a son...?"

"Yeah but he's already graduated. Like.. college level age. But he's.. 18? 19?" Sam sighed "what's he gonna do to help? Act like a mini police man?"

"Just trust me. I have a way with words." Demetri says, after a moment he beckons him over so the supposed 'officer son' can come over. "Hello kind sir-" demetri begins, Sam facepalms herself in embarrassment.

"Uh... hi." The boy begins. "You.. Need something?"

"Yeah what's your name." Demetri says casually.

The boy looks between Sam and demetri. He looked their age, maybe a little older. "Ethan...? Kirsh. Kirsh. You might know me tho.. because my dads like.. you know..."

"Yeah.. we know." Sam mumbled, gently propping her head in her right hand.

"Yeah." The curly haired guy stared at Sam for a moment. "Uh.. so what's up?"

"Can we like... talk to your father?" Demetri asked, ethan blinked in confusion. "Like.. call the cops?"

"Not that we should even be including you, but I think someone's trying to kill me." Sam places her cup down. "Like.. from those movies that are based on what really happened? Stab? Yeah, some freak threatened to attack me last night.. and.. stalked me."
