I did not see this coming

She passed a note to me in science which was last period asking me to meet her at the rooftop after school.

So many things can happen at a rooftop! She could push me off or something and yet I find myself dragging my own feet to the stairs to go up there. Maybe it's the part of me that thinks there's still a chance we can continue being best friends. I spot Hikaru on the way there.
"Aya why are you walking this way? Isn't your locker down the other hall?" He asks, pointing to the stairs I've just walked away from.
"Yes but I've left something somewhere." I lie, not wanting him to know I'm going to meet my best friend or whatever she is now.
"What? Where? I can come if you'd lik-"
"No, it's okay." I say, shuffling past him and towards the stairs again. Why do I feel so sick all of the sudden?

I open the door to the roof and I'm immediately met with a chilling air which sweeps my short brown hair across my face. I look around but it's so desolate and empty. I look down at the note to make sure I read it properly but everything seems in place.
"Maybe she's just late..." I mumble under my breath. I walk out onto the roof, making sure to keep my eye out for her. I hear whispering behind me and when I turn around I see Georgia with an insane-looking grin in her face and a finger to her lips. One of her hands is behind her back as she steps towards me. With every step fear rises a little more in me.

I want to scream but I'm paralysed.

Her hand comes out from behind her back and she thrusts a knife into my stomach before running. I'm alone on the rooftop bleeding out. My vision blurs and I drift in and out of consciousness and as I fall to the ground while clutching the knife, I notice two people at the door, standing there. That's when everything fades to black.
