Threats

Chapter 1

Mitch's POV

"My turn, I pick dare!!" I say to Kirstie.
We were playing truth or dare back at our shared apartment.
"Okay!!She says, and pauses for a second to think of a dare. "Got one!!" She says with a smirk.
"Oh no, should I be scared?" I ask.
She shakes her head. "No, it's not a dirty one, Grassi." She says with a laugh.
I laugh, "So what's my dare?" I ask.
"Send that popular boy a threat." She says.
"You mean Scott?" I ask.
She nods.
"But I don't have his number, do I?" I ask.
She nods. "Remember last year, we had to work with him in a group in choir."
"Oh yeah, right." I grab my phone and unlock it, searching for his contact. "What do you mean as a threat?"
"A death threat." She says.
"Kirst... that's a little too much, isn't it?" I ask.
"Nonsense, it's just a text. He can't take it that seriously, can he?"
I shrug my shoulders. "Some people might take it seriously."
"But think about it, Nothing bother's Scott. Right?"
"I guess you're right."
"I'm always right." She laughs.
I laugh, and click Scott's name, and open up iMessage.
"How should I write it?" I ask.
"It's your dare, Mitch. You choose."
I think about what I should say, before I type it.

It took me a few seconds to think, before I got an idea.
I knew this was wrong, but I didn't think it would hurt him the way it did.

"Hurry up!!" Kirstie yells. "I wanna see!!" She days with a whine.
"K, I'm done. Here." I say, handing her my phone.
She takes it and begins to read it.
Once she finishes, she hands me my phone.
"Send it." She says.
I press the send button.
Sent.

I just send a threat to Scott Hoying...

It says delivered, which that soon turns to 'read'.
Oh no...
it says he's typing.

Scott: haha, your words don't affect me.

I don't reply.
I show Kirstie the text and she laughs.
"See, I knew it wouldn't hurt him." She says.
I nod.
But what if it did hurt him?
What if Scott wasn't okay?

Kirstie ended up going to bed shortly after he sent the text.
I cleaned up the living room a bit, and locked up the apartment.
I headed to my room to relax a bit before bed.
I sat on my bed and scrolled through my Instagram.
After I looked through Instagram for a while, I got up to shut the lights off.
I turned the T.V off, and lay in my bed.

I couldn't sleep.
I kept thinking about what I said to Scott. I mean, he didn't seem upset. And it was just a joke. Right?
I shouldn't worry about it, he's popular so he probably won't take it too seriously.

I thought about a few other things, and then ended up falling asleep.

•••••

My alarm clock rang, waking me up.
I got up and knocked on Kirstie's door, waking her up.
No, we weren't dating. We're just best friends

I stared getting ready for school, I showered, brushed my hair, and washed my face.

I grabbed my phone from my nightstand and my backpack from my bed and walked to the door, where my shoes laid.
I grabbed my shoes, and slipped them on.
I waited a few minutes for Kirstie to walk downstairs.
Once she did, we walked to my car and I drive us to school.

I pulled into the school, and parked my car.
We both got out, and walked to homeroom.

Ok our way to homeroom, everyone of Scott's friends, weren't with him. They were standing in a hallway, mumbling and pointing towards a guy with a purple hoodie on, sitting on the bench. All alone.
The guy had his head in his hands, and he kept looking around, like someone was coming for him. I didn't know who it was, but I wanted to make sure this person was okay.
I looked around the hallway for Scott, but I couldn't find him. Right before the bell rung, I walked up to the guy in the purple hoodie and sat next to him.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
As I asked, the guy in the purple hoodie jumped, and looked up at me.
We made eye contact.
SCOTT!! It was Scott!!
He gasped and ran to his class.

Did he get the text?
Did he take it seriously?
Is he okay??
