"are you scared?" calum asked as they walked quickly through the short cut to the science lab, sneaking corners and staying close to the walls.
"yeah terrified" ashton replied softly, causing calum to take his hand.
calum was shaking again and ashton was sweating badly.
they nearly made it to the science lab when they saw the first body, blood smeared across the locker all the way to the floor.
they had tried going different ways, so that they didn't see bodies, but they guessed they had to see one sooner or later.
calum didn't want to stop to look but ashton did.
"who is it?" calum asked and ashton lifted her head up.
"looks like some grade 8, with no future" ashton replied before standing up and he started walking again.
"not funny" calum muttered.
they see another one outside the science lab and calum jumped.
"this is one sick dream" calum muttered and ashton sighed.
"i wish it was a dream."
once in the science lab ashton goes straight for the first aid kid kept in the teachers' draw.
calum looked around the room sadly, he had science next period, but he didn't think he would be able to come.
"do you think people have called the police?" he asked when ashton was done and had the first aid kit, which was a small draw string backpack.
"yeah, i hope" ashton said and calum pulled him down and to the wall in one swift motion when a shadow was on the lab door.
"in the cupboard" calum whispered as he opened the bottom cupboard under the tables. ashton didn't argue and calum followed.
it was the definition of small and they had to squeeze together.
the first aid bag was on ashton's lap and calum slowly closed the cupboard door and locked it, with it's stupid baby lock from the inside.
the science lab door opened almost a second later.
the two boys heard the footsteps.
"i swear someone was in here " a tough voice said and a girl laughed.
"you are a whack job" the girl was sasha.
calum froze and ashton could tell he wasn't going to sit still.
"shut up" the sound of a slap rang out in the room and calum's eyes squeezed together in an attempt to calm himself.
ashton couldn't do anything to help calm him and it annoyed ashton greatly.
"oh shut up you big whacko" sasha muttered.
"i'll look outside you continue to look in here" the man said and some footsteps left the room while another pair got close to the boys and then stopped before it sounded like they were crawling.
shit
shit.
they were both thinking it.
calum braced himself when the door jiggled and sasha huffed.
"hello, i know you're in here, they won't kill you, but if you don't come out they will kill me" sasha said and calum's eyes widen.
ashton shook his head at him.
before long the man was back in the room, ashton could tell by the footsteps then the voice.
"find anyone?"
"like i said you're a whacko, no one was in here" sasha answered, "just let me go!"
the man laughed.
"no."
"no?" sasha sounded almost angry, as well as sad.
"that's right no, if you didn't find anyone i got to kill you" he replied and sasha laughed coldly.
"you were going to kill me anyway" she sounded like she gave up and calum could tell.
he unlocked the cupboard.
before ashton could pull him back he was out.
ashton put the fist aid bag on his back and followed calum.
calum was under the lab desk, the man and sasha had their backs faced to them.
sasha's brown hair was messed up and there was blood on her hand.
"calum, please don't die for her" ashton whispered, he was being selfish he knew but he couldn't lose calum.
not in school.
if he did, he would leave school, it would be to painful without calum, his best friend.
"i'm not going to let her die" he replied and ashton stared at him helplessly.
"i know" ashton sighed, "i'm helping then."
calum smiled and got out under the desk and ashton followed, the other two were fighting about killing her and didn't hear the two boys.
calum winked at ashton before leaping onto the guys back quickly, his soccer fitness coming into use.
"calum!" sasha yelled in surprise before kicking the man in the balls.
the man pointed the gun at her but calum grabbed it last minute and it missed her completely.
"run!" he hissed and sasha shook her head and kicked the man again, more forcibly.
the man fell and calum took the gun from his hand and pointed it at the man.
"this is for my girlfriend you bitch" calum hissed and pointed the gun at the man.
ashton stood there watching the scene unfold.
"calum, don't kill the man" ashton whispered but calum didn't move.
sasha took ashton's arm.
"we have to run, the man will have back up seriously we have to go, calum can run after us" she took ashton's arm and ashton watched as calum unloaded the gun and threw the gun at the man's head and held the ammunition.
calum winked at ashton again before sasha pulled him from the science lab.
calum's face echoing in his mind.
