"Do you ever feel as if the world just hates you?"

Jessica's POV

I woke up the last morning. I'll be honest, I will never miss this place. I got up from my bed and packed all my stuff, Gonzalo came out of the bathroom and grabbed the bags and went outside. He didn't look at me, he didn't look at me for this whole week. I'm not mad. Why should I be? He's not mine.

Not yet.

When I went outside I saw that everybody was out there, or so I thought. Then it hit me, there was no adults on this island. Well, I shouldn't say island but they did leave us here and suspect that we could live on our own.
Whatever, like I care anyway.

Last year something did happen, something that may be related to this.
Or should I say someone.

Elizabeth Cox.
Class president, Choir, Smart, Tall.
Every student is scared of her.
She's sneaky. She can get away with cheating without nobody knowing. Nobody except me.
Really, she's not as cool as you would think.
She has some friends.
For example, Kelly Arias and Ashely M.
Kelly Arias is a girl that's quiet, she rarely speaks and when she does its to a teacher or Elizabeth.
Ashley M. Is a flirt, nobody knows why she's Elizabeth's friend she just is.
And of course, the queen of it all, Elizabeth.
The reason I think they're behind this?
Just listen.
Elizabeth is a teachers pet, she literally owns the school.
Me and Elizabeth are not friends.
I like annoying her sometimes and teasing her, but to be honest she does scare me.
Elizabeth has her own room in the school that nobody can go into, not even the principal. Every student hat tried to go in there was never seen again. Some people might think that Elizabeth killed them, and yes that is a possibility but still.
Some people think that Elizabeth has that room for cameras. Spying on every student, collecting each bit of drama and gossip.
And let me say. Elizabeth despises me. She says that I'm too selfish and a trust fund kid. Which she could've said to the principal
"Hey send this class into the middle of the woods and let them survive."
And to be honest, the school would do that.
No, she's not rich.
But yes, she's popular.
Maybe she's not watching us. But there is a possibility she is. One wrong move could lead anywhere.
Another thing the students don't really know about Elizabeth is that she is depressed.
But yeah, that's her.

I stood outside as he bus drove to a stop.
There was so much tension.
Gonzalo packed the bags in the bus, along with Max.
Laurence was holding a bottle of pills in his hand.
Melina has her head down, either crying or blushing, I couldn't tell.
I looked up.
Clouds were gathering.
There's a storm coming.
When the packing was all done, we all went inside the bus. We all sat in different seats except for Melina and Laurence who sat next to each other. I didn't have the energy to tease them.
Nobody talked, all we could hear was the bus engine roaring and the sound of thunder.
Lighting flashed in the middle of the forest as birds flew in the sky.
Crows.
He view of he cabins slowly disappears as we got farther away from it. It's like it was never even there.
Then I felt as if something was missing.
Then it hit me.
"Stop the bus!" I shouted.
"What about Audrey?" I said. Nobody spoke.
"It's too late to go back kid, no way am I going back to that place" the bus driver said.

I never said I cared for Audrey.
But if Audrey's going to die.
She is going to die by my hands.

What I didn't realize is that every one else had the same thought, but with a different person.
