Plan B

8

"What was that?" One person asked.

"Someone could be dead!!" Another shrieked.

People were  running towards the direction of the explosion.
I followed behind.

"Aren't we supposed to be running away from the danger?" I asked still following everyone.

People crowded the explosion scene. The victims seemed to be on the floor because I could not see them.

I squeezed through the crowd.

"OMG... Kristie?" I was in shock.

She was being supported by Lindsey and Delia; Lindsey's classmate.

Kristie looked grey... that's because she was literally grey from the tips of her hair down to her feet.

"Please clear from the hall way," I said trying to make way by clearing the path, "And stop taking pictures!"

I saw Chris in the crowd with his phone and he was recording!

"Chris, you too?" I asked angrily.

"She looks hilarious! This is going to hit a million views in a week on YouTube!"
I looked at him in disgust.

"What did I see in you?" I asked in a low tone and continued to make way. I didn't need an answer.

We took Kristie to the nurse and she was shocked upon seeing her.

"Oh my!" Exclaimed the nurse, "What happened to her?"

"Someone planted a paint bomb in her locker," Lindsey said.

"She's unconscious but she's breathing," the nurse, Miss Jillian said.

"Leave her with me, you may go."

"But what about her clothes? How will she walk around like this?" Lindsey asked.

Miss Jillian looked around for a moment.

"We could give these to her," she said pulling a box from under the bed, "They are a bit dusty but these will do." She held them out for us to see.

"I've just remembered I have extra clothes. Let me get them," I said.

"I'll come with you," Lindsey said. Delia had already left.

"This is tragic. Who could have done this?" Lindsey asked.

"My money's on Paige," We both said spontaneously then we laughed at the similar guess.

As we walked down the hallway, we heard some voices.

"Dude! The plan worked, we did it!" It was Chris' voice.

"I told you..."Dale begun.

"So both of you are behind this huh?" Lindsey interrupted them just as I pulled out my recorder.

"She could have waited for me to press record!!" I thought to myself.

"Chris and Dale. Chris maybe. But Dale? I'm surprised."

"Lindsey its..."

"Not a word from you Dale,"

I was surprised too. Chris was actually brutal. But Dale Bryce? This would break Kristie's heart to smithereens if she found out.

All the shame and pain brought by her 'diamond'. "Lindsey let's go," we both left them, Chris smiling broadly while Dale speechless.

"Where are we going?" Lindsey asked as we exited the school compound.

"To my car. I park it there," I said.

"Wow you drive? Interesting.
But why would you park it outside the school?"
