The Killer at Greenville High

POV: Sara (Chapter 1)

I wake up to my phone buzzing like crazy. I view my lock screen to see what's going on, but then I see the time.

8:47???? Shit. , I think to myself, Well I guess I'll have to figure out what's going on later.

I jump in the shower as fast I can an before I know it I'm finishing up my make-up. I look at my screen once agian and see it's 9:10, I grin to myself because now I still have an extra 10 minutes to figure out what the hell is going on. I race down the stairs and turn on the TV, I sit down and immediatley start checking my phone.

Text Message from Amber: omg sara have u seen the news? i can't believe...

Text Message from Charlie: Good Morning beautiful ;)

I smile at that last text but, I immediatley message Amber back

You: Can't believe what??

It isn't a second later that I hear the news reporter on the TV say " ...all the detalis on Claire Richards death haven't been released yet, but there is news that it was in fact a murder..."

I can't believe it. Claire, the shy, but friendly girl in my science class. We weren't really close, but we were in the same friend group... "Sam" I say to myself. Sam was Claire's girlfriend, I can't even think of what she's going through right now.... why would anyone do this?, I think, well, there is one huge one motive for all murderers out there...once you kill someone you gain access to all their talents, knowledge, and memories. But still, I think , why would anyone do this to Claire? I look at my lock screen again, it read 9:39. "Crap!" I say very loudly, great now I'm gonna be 20 minutes late for class, the tardy bell rings at 9:25 and it takes me 5 minutes to get to school, I think to myself. I slam my car door shut and rush to school.

I finally get to school at 9:42, wow i must've been going 1000mph, I think to myself. I head to my first class and try sneak in without being seen, but unfortunatley I am.

"Ms. Miller, are you planning on getting here late everyday?" Mr. Sanders said condecendingly

"No sir just the days I feel like it" I say sweetly

"Well the next time you "feel like it" I will be calling your parents about your abscences at the beginning of my class, are we understood Ms. Miller?" Mr. Sanders says over the snickers from the classroom

"Yes sir" I huff out while putting down my stuff. Once the classroom is silent again he continues teaching. I search for Sam, but she's not there. I mean, I didn't expect her to be there, but I decided to look anyway. 30 minutes later the intercom blares:

"ALL JUNIORS PLEASE REPORT TO THE GYM. DO NOT BRING YOUR BAGS WITH YOU, SORRY FOR THE INTERRUPTION."

I walk toward the gym with Amber and Dawn

" You don't think this could be about..." Dawn said nervously

"Of course not, if it was don't you think the whole school would be called?" Amber said

I stayed quiet and walked beside them. Amber and Dawn were my best friends since 2nd grade, even though they were polar opposites they seemed to be like sisters at times since they were so close, not that they looked anything alike though considering Dawn had light blonde hair with dark brown eyes and not a single freckle on her face while Amber had dark red hair with bright blue eyes and freckles covering every part of her face.

After what seemed like the longest walk of my life, we finally made it to gym and it was packed. Once we found a spot on the bleachers we had to fit between people in our class. At the center of our gym was our principal, Principal Jerggins. Once everyone was settled in the crampped gym she started, "Hello students, I am here to inform you about the passing of a fellow student: Claire Richards. " She paused and seemed to reflect on her words and so did everyone else. It was still very hard to believe that Claire, of all people, had not only died, but had been murdered. Principal Jerggins started again " Unfortunatley, her passing was not an accident, she was murdered. The police are trying to investigate some more, but they have come to a few conclusions, Claire was murdered by one of her classmates." everyone audibally gasped.

How? Everyone loved Claire. Especially the juinor class. Claire Richards was killed by one of her classmates, but how do the police know that? I thought to myself. " But how do the police know that?" I asked

"Claire was at a school event for the juniors' before she was killed, she was actually found in the school bathroom this morning by the janitor. The school was locked after the school event ended at 8 pm and the school doors were monitored so we made sure no underclassmen came in." Principal Jerggins said matter-of-factly

As soon as all the words came out of her mouth the whole entire junior class went into a frenzy of questions and panick. It was pure chaos. Soon the staff was yelling at us to calm down.

"With all this being said, I would like to interview every single one of you and hear your allabis for that night. If you know any information on the situation please report to the office immediatley. I would also like to say that if you were involved in this incident i encourage you to step forward and accept your punishment before things get much much worse." she said this with hope but not much " You are dismissed."

As we walked out Amber started talking " as if the person who did it is gonna come forward" she said smartly

"Well it is kinda interesting isn't it? Whoever killed her must be in a lot of pain right now, I heard it can take up to a week to recover from gaining that much knowledge that fast." Dawn said

"Uhhhh.. how do you know all that?" I say with worry in my voice

"Well...I like to do a lot of research plus I love crime documentaries." Dawn said shyly

Amber laughs, but i couldnt really find it in me to laugh at a time like this. The bell rings and I rush back to my first class to retrieve my bag but on my way there I bump into Charlie.

"Hi gorgeous" he says with a smirk

"Hey butthead" I say rolling my eyes with butterflies in my stomach

"What are you doing tonight? I was thinking we could go out" he says still smirking obviously choosing to ignore my comment

"Well where would be going out to?" I say with a smile, trying to sound like I would ever decline going on a date with him. I mean who would say no to going out with Charlie Reeves? He had the the prettiest blue eyes and wavy brown hair, not to mention he had a body made by the gods themselves.

"It's a surprise" he says winking

I start to make make a comment but the tardy bell rings. Great. Another class I'm late to. ,I think to myself. I bolt to my classroom and hear Charlie yell " So that's a yes?" and I yell back " Sure, pick me up at 7!" I grin to myself, he's so unbelievably cute.

I walk into my second class grinning , but I'm greeted by Dylan, my ex. How delightful.

Sorry I kinda ended the story in an awkward spot, but i didn't want to make the first chapter too long, even though it is already pretty long.

Please comment what you think and favorite and add this to your library if you want more!

Bye for now!
