team spirit x you're a cheerleader on the bus

The gun shot rang through the metal walls of the bright yellow bus while he repeated his previous statement that everyone had ignored due to fear. "I said, give me an O."

"O." The letter was unwillingly chanted among us, as we waited for his next order. I could feel my body becoming overcome by fear but I tried to control myself, not wanting to have a panic attack in front of a dumb murderer.

His face was stern yet there was still of glimmer of excitement hidden in it, of course. It would be dumb of me to not recognize his face, considering he's been on the news for almost three days straight.

But you know what?

It was dumber of me to continue on staring and even dumber to make damn eye contact with him - and break it after a good three seconds - because now he was making his way over to my seat with that glimmer of excitement filling his face now.

"Fuck." I heard Brittany curse under her breath beside me when he was only two seats away from ours. She shifted her eyes down to where her cuffed hands rested on top of her skirt, starting to sound like she was hyperventilating. Not good, not good at all.

"Well hello there." Glancing over to the side, I jumped when I saw his menacing face inches away from mine. Well, shit. "Got a name, beautiful?" My eyes widened before I scrunched my eyebrows up in frustration at his words.

Don't let him get to you, that's exactly what he wants; I tried convincing myself as I took a deep breath in to relax myself which was kind of difficult considering how close he was to me at the moment.

"Not in a million years." It took a lot more courage than I thought it would for those words to spill out of my lipstick covered lips but when I saw his eyes look me and up and down, I lost it. "Get away from me." I could feel Brittany tense up beside me at my words, probably thinking of how stupid I was being and how I might end up costing us our lives.

The sudden movement of the gun in his hand caused my tough facade to falter a bit and everyone else to gasp in fear for me. I could my heartbeat rapidly increasing as I tried to keep my eyes off the gun and on his own instead - the sudden courage deflating second by second.

"Excuse me?" He cupped a hand over his ear while positioning the gun below my chin, the cool metal making contact with my skin and a threatening grin finding its spot on his face. "What was that? I couldn't quite hear you over the desperate cries and pleas of your friends here."

"I said, get away from me." I spat at him through gritted teeth, shooting an angry look at him while I shook in fear on the inside. Yet I doubt that the overly glittered make-up and cheer leading outfit was threatening at all in his eyes.

"Huh," He raised his eyebrows in surprise before lowering his gun and excitedly nodding his head at me. "I like you." He roughly took a hold of my arm, my uniform being the only security between his hand and my arm, and started pulling me towards the front of the bus. 

By now, all sense of false security in me was gone and the harsh reality finally hit me. My body shook in fear as we walked up the aisle, all my friends' eyes on me; probably thinking how lucky they were that they weren't in my position. "Not so tough now, huh?" He whispered to me, letting out a small laugh. 

"Greenwood!" His arm fell around my shoulders as he pointed the gun in the direction of everyone else while he waited for whoever 'Greenwood' was. One of the other guys who escaped Arkham made his way up to bus stairs, holding his own gun up. "Take her out."

"You sure?" I could feel my breathing stop when the other guy's gun barrel rested in between my eyebrows, his finger resting on the trigger. Shutting my eyes felt like the only thing I could actually do while I waited for the bullet to pierce my skull, while everybody else stayed quiet.

"Not like that, you idiot." I peeked through one eye to see Jerome push the gun to the side before he could shoot it, the man staring at him with a dumbfounded look on his face. "As in take her outside." He took his arm off of me and pushed me towards the other man, not taking his eyes off of the other cheerleaders as he did so.

"And don't eat her!" Well, that's reassuring.

I am literally in love with that gif. Btw, I finally see the new episode and my hate for Theo just increased by like a 1000, poor penguin. :(
