Lock-In

Later, during their game of twenty-one questions, Alec's questions are in bold while Juniper's are in italics.

Nevaeh and I headed back towards the gym with our supplies. Nevaeh, for a fourteen year old, had a great shot. She rarely would miss her target.

"Okay, we'll go back to where we were before," I said and we headed back up the bleachers and into the corner. We set up our weapons and waited. It was 10:26 before anyone actually came through. 

It was two girls I knew from class, Kya and Dayna, and two guys from the football team, Drake and Trevor. If anything, they looked like they were purging. Much like Trish and Jane, they were wearing highly inappropriate clothes with masks from, what looks like, The Purge: Election Year. Yikes.

Nevaeh just looked at them with looks of shock and disgust. I would too, but I knew Kya and Dayna would wear even worse then what they're wearing now. 

After our shock, Nevaeh was the first to shoot. She shot Drake just as he leaned to kiss Kya. 

"What the fuck!" he roared.

"Dude, you're out," Trevor stated lamely, pointing to the back of his shirt. I shot Trevor this time, hitting him square in the chest.

"Where the fuck is this coming from?" Kya asked looking around until she spotted us.

"Shoot them," Drake ordered. Kya aimed at us while Nevaeh shot Dayna, who let out a sting of cuss words. Kya's paintball hit our shield, blocking some of our sight, but I focused on the sniper's scope. 

Aiming carefully, I hit her in the stomach and got a cheer from Nevaeh.

"Bitches be out!" She hollered cupping her mouth with her hands. How much has Savannah influenced on her? It's probably a good thing she didn't go with Savannah, if not people would be driven to insanity.

While shouting this, I realized she had braces. And they actually worked well on her unlike when I had to wear them. I looked like a dork.

"What time is it?" she asked reloading her gun.

"10:42" I replied looking down at my phone.

"I need to brush my teeth, come on," she said packing up. After we were packed, we left the gym and went back to Mrs. Ryan's room. 

When we arrived, we found Erica and Savannah sitting down at the desks eating cheese balls and talking about something. They looked at us when we walked in and Nevaeh locked the door behind us.

"Hey, Nevaeh needs to brush her teeth," I stated and went to join them, taking a cheese ball from Erica.

"Why take mine?" she groaned.

"Because Savannah would cut my hand off if I took hers," I inform her, taking another one while Nevaeh was brushing her teeth.

"Truth," Savannah stated loudly then shoved a cheese ball into her mouth. 

After Nevaeh finished brushing her teeth and hung out with us, we were getting ready to leave when Savannah spoke up, "Uh no. Erica's boring, I want Nevaeh. We'll go fuck some shit up,"

"Excuse me? Boring? I feel so useless" Erica said feigning hurt. Savannah just stuck her tongue out at her.

"Fine, but don't kill anyone," I say. Savannah and Nevaeh leave shouting a goodbye and don't forget to lock the door.

"Ready?" I ask. It was eleven now and we still probably had a little more than half the school to go.

"Yeah," she replied and we left, making sure the door was locked.
