Last night I went to ask Betty something at her house but instead, I walked into the lounge area of the house and saw Alice cleaning up blood with a dead body in front of her, and Chic was standing there in shock. Ever since then I haven't been able to hold down my food or go near any liquids because of flashbacks of how much blood was on the floor pop into my head.

Kevin walks into the student lounge and stands in front of us. "Oh my god did you guys hear? My dad said the police found another dead body last night, blood was everywhere" Kevin says, then I remember last night.

"Did they say who's body?" Archie asks.

"Where did they find it?" I ask, softly, trying not to seem suspicious.

"The investigation is ongoing, but apparently it was a gruesome, gang style, execution at the motel. There was blood and brains splattered all over the duvet" Kevin says, a little bit excited, and I dig my nails into the palms of my hands.

"Ok Kev, we get it," Archie says, disgusted, and everyone, including Sweet Pea, Fangs, and Toni sit back in disgust. Kevin stops talking and the room goes silent.

"I gotta go," I say, quickly standing up, and walk past Sweet Pea to exit the room. I walk into the girls' bathrooms and put my hand over my mouth to stop myself from puking. I rush over to a toilet and crouch down throwing up a couple times, I cough and flush the toilet, then lean against the stall wall.

While sitting on the floor, I start to feel lightheaded then everything slowly goes black. I wake up to someone shaking me and I groan holding my head. "Karisma, are you ok? Do you need some help?" The person asks softly, then I see Cheryl crouching next to me.

"I'm fine" I answer quietly and sit up.

"You're not fine, you're pale white and look ill. I'll take you to the nurse" Cheryl says.

"I'm not going out there, everyone will look at me," I say.

"It's spell three so everyone is in class... apart from your Serpent buddies, they're looking for you" Cheryl replies. I slowly stand up with help from Cheryl and the bathroom door bursts open.

"Oh my god, Karisma," Toni says as she rushes to me. "We need to get you to the nurse."
