It felt weird to be back. Of course my Dad had Willian sitting outside of the school, making sure everything was okay. It eased my mind that Willian was here but I'm still nervous. I know nothing about what's going on, and it's scary because it's involving me and my friends, and a place where I am suppose to feel safe. It's like we're sitting ducks just waiting to die.

"It feels like forever since I've seen you last." Colin said as he shyly placed his arm around my shoulders. I laughed and embraced him. "How are you?" I asked him and he removed his arm as we walked down the hallway together.

"My parents are going crazy over this whole situation. They don't want me to leave to go anywhere." Colin told me and I was in the same boat as him.

"My Mom is chill compared to my Dad, but my Dad," I started to say but stopped because I didn't want to get started on my Dad. "My Dad too! Why are our Dad's insane?" He jokingly asked and I laughed.

"I want to hear your thoughts on what's going on." I said to Colin as we shimmered down. He let out a breath and started to talk, but was interrupted by Erica and Noah laughing hysterically. What did they do now? Just hearing and seeing the state that the two were in didn't seem like students at our school were being murdered. They seemed.. Happy?

"Oh my god we just caught Mike trying to breakup with Cheryl." Erica said in-between her laughing fits. I furrowed my eyebrows and she tried to sober up, but when she failed Noah explained. "He used the, "It's not you, it's me" line." Noah started to laugh which only made Erica laugh even harder. I exchanged looks with Colin and he slowly started to laugh too.

"That's fucked up." He said and I was honestly confused. "Why is this funny?" I asked them. Once Erica calmed down she placed her hands on Noah's and Colin's shoulders and explained it to me. "She talked shit to you. Karma is really a bitch with a big dick, wanting to only fuck you in the ass!" Erica exclaimed and Noah laughed. They're literally going insane. But then I realized something.

While they're laughing their asses off about Cheryl's misfortunes Cheryl is all alone, and friendless. She needs me. She needs someone, no matter who it is. And I need answers to stop this maniac from murdering all of my friends.

"That's cheer!" Erica called out to me as I walked away from the group and towards the cheer practice after the end of 4th. "I gotta do something." I called out to her as I walked towards the gym room. I climbed up the stairs and when I reached the gym room I was out of breath.

"I told you not to stalk me." Cheryl said from behind me, scaring me. I regained myself and turned to face her. "I heard about what happened." I gently said to her and she just rolled her eyes and walked past me. "Mike's a dick." I said to her and she stopped what she was doing.

"Don't talk about my boyfriend like that." I furrowed my eyebrows as the sound of footsteps leaving the room filled the air. I turned around to see that Cheryl had left. Why is she acting like this? I only want to be her friend and help save her life by getting answers and stopping the killer. If she won't help me then I'll just have to get some real help.

"Isn't that cop your Dad?" Noah asked me as him and Erica stood beside me, watching me watch Willian who was sitting outside of the school. "No, that guy works with my Dad." I said to Noah. We only have an hour of school left and I need to talk to Willian about what's going on.

"And why are we watching him when we could be making fake facebook accounts and using them to call Cheryl a slut." Erica said with a laugh and Noah snickered at her. What the hell is wrong with them?

"Is this a joke to you?" I asked Erica, turning very serious. Once she saw my state she stopped laughing and got serious. "No. I just want to do something to take your mind off of what's happened." She said and I rolled my eyes at how superficial she was being.
