God Save The Prom Queen

Alice

A/n : this is totally trash.

It was Monday morning. All of Rosewell Middle School was on field trip except for the grade eights and a couple teachers. Apparently we were to irresponsible to be trusted at an amusement park. What were we going to do? Start chasing people with the hammer from the test your strength game?So we were pretty much left to goof around all day. Which I believe to be better than watching some idiot with a hammer. Sure I thought things might get loud or messy, but murder definitely didn't seem possible. Unfortunately sometimes life will hits you with the impossible.

   I was walking down the hallway with my two friends Carmen and Jamie. My best friends.

Carmen had skin the colour of dark chocolate and violet cornrows that streamed down her back. She had the build of an athlete; tall and toned with muscle, one of the schools best runners. As if being extremely athletic was not enough she was also the best artist in the grade. Although she was easily intimidating she is soft and kind just like a teddy bear.

Jamie on the other hand was of Chinese decent, tan, and short. However what she lacked in height she made up for it in attitude. She was your stereotypical sassy nerd, with purple cat-eye glasses and braces. You would think that the school gave her the wrong sized uniform by the way it loosely hanged off her shoulders but she was just that small.

We walked down the hallway laughing at inside jokes. The walls the seemed to laugh with us like the whole building was in high spirits. Until we turned the corner.

         I was the first to see the body. Her sandy blonde hair sprawled across the floor near her shoulders as it had been taken out from her usual braid. It was laid out as if not too touch the crown drawn with blood around her head. Her blood. Her arm spread out like she was on a cross reminding me of pictures of people being sacrificed to a greater power in horror movies. Both wrists slit with hot crimson blood streaming out them. It was something straight out of a horror movie.

The walls began to close in on me. Suffocating, fatal, unforgiving. She deadly silent but I could hear screaming. I prayed I was dreaming but I wasn't. I could feel my heart thump across the inside of my chest. I could feel it beat against every single rib in it fast paced rhythm. I felt like I was holding the sky on my shoulders, crushing and painful.     

      The worst part is the lockers. "God save the prom queen" in blood on the locker. I couldn't believe my eyes. But it was true. Someone I knew, was dying in front of me. The pain of reality hurt. I often read to escape the pain of reality. I wished I could do that now. I was overwhelmed with all the horror. How could I move past this.
How would I stop it from haunting me for the rest of my days. I felt so overwhelmed by all the  crushing pain.

I couldn't move fear filled my body making it weak, causing me to collapse, but not before screaming in terror. my chest felt like it was closing in on its self. A hot tear streamed down my face. it felt like acid on my skin. My throats felt full. Like someone had Shoved bricks into it. I stop being able to hear . I was some what glad I couldn't. I don't think I would have wanted to listen.Everything I saw became fuzzy. Just blotches of colours moving fast around me like I didn't exist. I felt like I was dying to. Why did this have to happen to her? I deserved it so much more. This was all my fault. closed my eyes for what felt like a second. Hope just to silence the pain for just a second. Was a second to much too ask.
But when I open them again I was greeted with a voice.
