BEYOND THE KILLER'S MIND

Chapter 1 - Beyond...her school grounds.

Before class Ashely and Marceline had gone out of the room and haven't returned yet. I was beginning to get worried. So I decided to stand up and go check on them in the middle of class. This was something that I was willing to get in trouble for.

"Nathaniel!" yelled the teacher in anger.

I ignored her and ran out of the room slamming the door open. To my surprise, I see Marceline and Ashely laughing together in front of me. They were laughing holding their stomachs. Marceline stopped laughing as soon as she spotted me. Ashely kept on laughing. Marceline bent down and whispered something in Ashely's ear, not taking her eyes off of me. As if it was like I was a threat to her and Ashely.

"What! Noooo...." Ashely moaned instantly stopping her laughing.

Marceline patted her back and then began walking down the hallway.

"Hey! Please don't leave me!" Ashley cried out.

"I'll come back after third period. Thanks Ashely!" Marceline turned down the hall and disappeared.

Ashely seemed to be sad. I could tell because of the way she walked into the classroom all gloomy and didn't even care to spare me a glance when she passed by. I went back into the classroom then continued with my regular schedule.

She said she'd be back by third period....I thought to myself mentally. Isn't third period gym?

This girl...Marceline. She really was a weird girl. She doesn't want any friends yet has Ashely? She seems unapproachable and demonic, yet can have the cutest smile? Marceline was confusing me so much. I was determined to discover every and any aspect in life that links to Marceline. Because she was one girl that could twist my gears out of a million other girls that isn't demonic.

Gym had started and Marceline still wasn't back yet. I could see that Ashley had begun to get worried as well. Her face perfectly displayed the sorrow and anxiousness of a teenage girl.

Today in gym coach made the class play one-on-one basketball in pairs. I paired up with Ben and Ashely paired up with some girl. Honestly, Ben was horrible at basketball if you look at both of us playing. Against normal people he would be considered an all star. But against me he looked like a clumsy monkey.

"Come on Ben!" I whinnied as I took the ball from Ben and dunked it into the hoop.

Since there was only four basketball hoops in the gym, coach had two pairs go at once. One game on each side of the gym. Whoever gets to ten points wins and the next pair goes up while they sit down on the bench and wait, or practice dribbling around the gym.

Ben and I were up and I won the game. So we went to practice dribbling around the gym. We ran side by side passing the ball back and forth after a few dribbles. I passed the ball to Ben when I heard a high-pitched scream.

"Your finally here!!" Scratched Ashely running over to Marceline.

I stopped running and watched as Ashely approached Marceline. She was limping over to the locker rooms.

"Can you go tell coach I was late because of family matters? Don't say anything about the fight Ashely. Not to anyone." I heard Marceline say before she slipped into the girls locker room.

"Nathaniel!" Ben yelled.

I turned around and caught the basketball right before it hit my face. Fast reflexes came in handy when having stupid friends armed with basketballs. I shot Ben a glare of annoyance. Coach suddenly blew the whistle. Everyone gathered around him. Marceline was standing next to him. I noticed that she was holding her right arm behind her back again like she was in class earlier.
