Scream; The New Decade

Mass Text

The four arrived at school with each other the next day. They stayed together as much as possible. Until 3rd period. Zack was scared to leave his friends sides. They all have 3rd period together while he had it alone.

Zack said his goodbyes to the 3 and walked to 3rd period, Language Arts. He groaned as he walked in. He walked to the back of the room and took a seat in the back corner. Students were filing into the room and were heading to their regular seats.

A girl named Iria, who Zack seldom talked to, sat next to him. She had long, dark, hair which flowed down her shoulders like soft river. She smiled her usual big smile at Zack. Zack smiled back. Then class begun. The teacher blabbed on about Edgar Allen Poe, a famous poet who usually wrote dark poems.

He looked around the room at different students. One student named Miley waved at him. He smiled. He looked over at a guy who had a bandaged nose. He looked at him with a blank expression. He then, for what seemed like a split second, smirked. What? What was that? Was some stranger flirting with him? Or just being a plain creep. Zack reconized him. He was Kyler, and he was on the football team. Why was he looking at Zack?

Zack shook it off. He couldn't keep still. He felt so hyper and he needed to move. The the bell rang. That was an abnormally quick period. He stood up and yelled.

"Yes!"

Iria smiled at him, "Happy the periods over?"

Zack nodded quickly, "Yes."

"Me too." She smiled. Zack grabbed his bag and left the room.

Iria watched him leave. She walked up to the guy with the bandage.

"Your nose okay?" She asked softly.

The guy nodded, "Got hit in the face with balls." Iria giggled.

"See ya around!" She smiled and left.
*************
Blake sighed. He got up from his desk and walked out of the class.

"Hey Blake!"

Blake turned around. His friend Stephanie ran up to him. He smiled and hugged her.

"What's up?" She smiled. She flipped her collarbone length blonde hair over her shoulder.

"The sky." Blake laughed. Stephanie playfully pushed him.

"Loser." She laughed. They both walked to their next period together. Stephanie smiled as they walked into their 4th period. Which was Drama. They sat at their seats. The bell rang and class began.

The teacher went on about the play 'The Phantom of the Opera'. Blake didn't listen. He put his chin on his hand and stared at the clock. Blake sighed and looked over at Stephanie. She rolled her eyes and put her head on the desk. Blake thought Drama was going to be more fun than learning the history of plays.

Stephanie raised her hand.

"Yes Stephanie?" The teacher asked, annoyed.

"May I use the restroom?"

The teacher nodded and she got up. He handed her a pass and she walked out of the class. She strutted down the hall. She flipped her hair and walked into the restroom. She didn't need to use the bathroom, she just wanted out of the stupid class.

She looked into the mirror. Behind her in the mirror, she saw something move in a stall. Someone is just using the bathroom. It wasn't that weird. She pulled out her phone. She got a Snapchat. She opened the app and it was from 'Evergreen5'. She rolled her eyes and opened it. She snap was out her looking in the mirror.

The text over the picture read, 'Your hair is to DIE for.'

She laughed and took a picture of her hair.

'Jealous?' She sent it.

Seconds later she received a new one. It was of her again. 'I'd kill for it.'

She smirked. Finally someone loved her hair as much as she did.

She took a video of her flipping her hair, spinning. She looked over the video. At a split second she could see someone with a ghost mask behind her. She stared at it. She deleted the video and decided to take a selfie instead.

She raised her phone up and turned the camera around on her. She froze. Behind her was the same guy she saw in the video. She turned around. He stood there, very still.

She shook her head and walked past him. He grabbed her hair as hard as he could and pulled her back. She screamed and fell on the ground. She scrambled and got up. She ran through the bathroom. He chased her. She slammed a stall door in his face. He got up and followed her. He grabbed her from behind and slowly slit her throat. She held her throat, trying to stop the bleeding. He threw her into a sink and she hit her head. He left her.

The bell rang. Out of nowhere a student screamed from down the hall. The teacher ran out and students followed. Blake followed the crowd. Around him students were crying or scrambling around. Then everyone's phones went off. There was a mass text. The text was of a selfie with Stephanie's dead body and the guy in the ghost mask. The text message that said, 'It has begun.'
