RUN AND HIDE

<Chapter 3>

Aria...
"Ooh! That was so funny, right?" Trinity says, sarcastically. "Can we move on to something more important now?"
"You mean, can we neon to something more important?" Brooklyn jokes.
Micaiah gives her the "nah, bro" look, then finished it up with a "you ruined it" look. Also know as a "bruh."
Brook still smiles.
"Trinity is right. We need to move on to something more important." I say.
"I have a idea, how about we get a ice cream bar?" Brooklyn says excitedly smiling really big.
"Um...I'm sure there are some at the gas station." Trinity tells her.
"No." Brooklyn says, starting to explain. "Like a ice cream bar."
"Do you mean, a ice cream bar bar? Or a ice cream bar?" Micaiah asks. And Brooklyn rolls her eyes.
"The first one."

Just as we finish listening to Brooklyn's long list of ideas, we heard a knock at the door.
"Um...who is it?" Trinity asks me. "You didn't call anybody over, did you?"
"It's probably one or all of the guys." KLC says, walking in.
"True. True." Micaiah says.
"Or maybe it's someone else." Brooklyn suggests. "Trinity, who do you have coming over?!"
"No one! I swear!" Trinity answers, putting her hands up in innocence.
"Are we just going to sit here and do nothing but guess who it is, or actually see who it is and open the door?" Micaiah asks.
"Brooklyn, go open the door." I say.
"It's not even my house!" She says.
"It's not our house is either, it's our apartment. Now go open it up." I demand.
"Uh," she says sarcastically,"no."
"Kennedy you're standing," Micaiah mentions, "go get it."
"Why the hell does it take a debate to open the damn door?" I ask, irritated.
"Okay, fine. I'll open it." Olivia says, getting up. "Thanks," I say.

Olivia walks to the door and before she opens it she looks through that hole thing. I forget what it's called.
She smiles, before she actually opens the door.
Olivia opens the door, and it turns out to be Drew.
"Hey guys." He says in a quietly loud voice. We all greet him and then Brooklyn says, "we honestly didn't want to get the door, so you're pretty lucky we let you in."
"No, I let him in." Olivia reminds Brook, emphasizing the word "I."
"Cool," Brooklyn says sarcastically, "now Drew what are you doing here?" She asks.
"Shouldn't Ava ask that since she's the one who owns the place?" Micaiah asks.
"Standing right here ya know!" Trinity says, a little ticked off from being ignored as the owner of the apartment.
"Yeah! Hey!" KLC agrees.
"Okay, let's be honest. Who pays most of the bills here?" I ask, expecting them to say me.
"Um, we all chip in!" Trinity says, getting all sassy. I look at everyone else around the room. Brooklyn's over there looking tired, Micaiah is day dreaming, Olivia was just listening to us while we were talking, KLC is on her phone, and Drew is looking bored. And as usual, Trinity is talking.

Before The Party...

I jump up in excitement.
"Brook, Micaiah, Olivia, you did amazing decorating! Kennedy this is a great place!! And Trinity, I'm glad you aren't upset anymore. Thanks for help contacting the people for the uh..."
"I know what you mean. The people for the ice cream bar and stuff?" Trinity says trying to help me finish my sentence.
"Yeah. I'm just forgetting words today." Just as I say this, everyone leaves the room to go get some things to finish decorating. I realize that the decorations weren't entirely finished being hung up, so I decided to hang up a few things.

After I hang up the neon flowers, I was moving on to the window decorations when I heard footsteps behind me.
"Whoever it is can you help me hang these window decorations up?" I ask assuming it's one of the girls or something. I turn around and it's someone I don't know.
"Hi, I'm Trina. Would you like me to help?" They ask. She's a girl about my age with brown hair and is smiling a smile that is a bit creepy.
Nervous, I mutter "sure."
She then begins hanging up things, slowly.
"Do you live around here?" She asks suddenly.
Alarmed, I say shake my head no and say "I live in a apartment not far from here."
"Oh, so in the city?"
"Yeah."
"Good to know." She mumbles.
"What was that?" I ask pretending not to here her the first time.
"I said these may not glow. I'll use these instead." Trina says, putting away some monkey decorations. She gets out some sports ones like glow-in-the-dark baseballs and basketballs.
"Mm...those don't really match my bear stickers. Can you use these?" I ask handing her pandas.
"Sure." She says slowly and creepily.
"I'm going to go help my friends. Do you mind continuing to do this by yourself?" I ask.
"No, go ahead. Help your friends..." She answers smiling that same smile.
"Okay, thanks." I say, backing away slowly. She doesn't notice because she's still hanging up decorations.

I'm outside and I see Brooklyn. I rush to her and say, "Brooklyn, who the hell is in that room? She's really creepy!"
Brooklyn gives me a confused look and shrugs her shoulders. "I'll go look."
Brooklyn and I walk to the door and open it. We walk in and see no one.
"Aria, are you ok?" Brooklyn asks turning to me.
"She was right there!" I yell.
"Your not on drugs or anything?" She asks with a questioning look.
"I'm serious. She was right there." I point to the windows. I explained everything that happened and what she looked lol and Brooklyn looked at me crazy.
"And they say I'm crazy." Brooklyn says as she leaves.
"No wait!" I yell, but she's gone. I walk to the windows to finish my work.
I'm humming my favorite song when I notice a red paint trail on the floor. More like blood. I follow it to a room that has a body I recognize.

Olivia's body...
