"If your name is on their list, you're already dead." That's the warning message about 5 Seconds, a well known group of anonymous killers who make themselves known each year for the Purge. While the world fears these killers, David Hood remains focused on his security system business that has celebrities such as Beyonce, Adele, and Ellen DeGeneres paying big bucks for it. Due to his lack of research and knowledge on 5 Seconds, David is oblivious to how the band of killers work off a list and has no idea that his name is has made it on there for the 4th annual Purge.

The gymnasium was fully packed with the entire school. A man dressed in a suit stood on the stage in front of the mic along with other adults wearing suit attire. The man with the mic was the principal of the school and was at the end of his long speech about the oncoming night. However, unlike most of the students who were for once playing acute attention to what was being said, Calum Hood blocked out his principal's voice. Every year it was the same, the man could at least change the speech up a bit because Calum has it memorized at this point. Mocha colored eyes remained blank and locked on the stage. At least it was almost over.

"And I'll hopefully see all of you Monday," the principal wrapped up. "Safe night everyone."

"Safe night." the entire room responded, Calum's a mumbled effort as he stood up with his classmates and headed towards the exit. The halls were full of nervous chatter and loud voices that Calum couldn't block out easily. The topic he heard as he made his way to his locker was all about the annual Purge tonight.

"Stay on the phone with me baby, okay?" a girl from his class had her boyfriend in her arms, gently cupping his face. "Don't do anything stupid."

When Calum reached his locker he found a group of girls a few lockers down in the middle of a group hug. "I better see your pretty faces Monday." one of the girls cried and the other 3 echoed her. Calum sighed and quickly got his things from his locker. When he closed it, Calum found himself face to face with Collins. Murky green eyes stared into warm mocha. "Want me to come over and protect you babe?" Collins purred softly as he reached out to stroke Calum's cheek.

Calum pulled back with a frown. "Don't call me that."

"Why not? You are a babe." Collins smirked undeterred and pushed back his messy brown hair. "I'm just worried about your pretty little face tonight. Who knows what the night'll bring."

"Don't waste your time. I'm sure daddy's little security systems won't let any bad monsters come in." a loud condescending voice came from behind Calum who turned around. Michael Clifford didn't spare him a look as he rummaged inside his locker next to Calum's. Michael slammed his locker shut and finally let his icy gaze lock onto Calum's face. "Isn't that right princess?" Calum didn't need to look around to know that Michael had caught everyone's attention, therefore, everyone in the hall had their eyes on them. He could feel the stares burning into his skin and felt the hate from them spread into his bones.
