Alma: How could we let this happen?

Josue: We should've been looking out for each other more this is all our fault!

Niche: What are we going to do? We can't just leave him like this.

Alma: Poor Alex.

Josue: I guess we all know what we need to do.

Alma, Josue, and Niche all exchanged some looks and nodded in agreement. Tonight was the night that everything would change, for better or worse.

Earlier That Day

Night Hill High School. Once a peaceful and ordinary school now turned into a target area for a psychotic serial killer's next victims. Joey was the killer's most recent homicide, but for all anyone knows he could be missing. He could be out there somewhere, hanging on for his dear life.

Tenzin tried holding back his tears all day during first and second period, but each minute that passed the harder it was for him to keep it all together. He tried calling Joey several times but it was no use. No one was coming to the phone, and no one ever will. As he was attempting to call Joey one more time, Tenzin began putting in the combination to his locker so he could get a textbook for his next class period.

Tenzin: (leaving a voicemail) Hey Joey it's me Tenzin. Look please call me back I've been worried all day about you. I've had trouble sleeping, I haven't eaten anything, all I've been thinking about is you. I just want to know you're ok. Please just call me b-

Tenzin paused for a moment. He dropped his phone in shock at the excruciating and disgusting sight that was in front of him. When Tenzin opened his locker, a large amount of pictures fell out and scattered all over the floor. They were pictures of Joey's dead and blood covered body. Everyone stopped doing what they were doing and looked over at Tenzin for they had realized what has happened. All the students started going into a state of panic and fear.

Tenzin could feel his head getting dizzy. Everything was a blur. His vision started getting wonky and his surroundings began to become unclear to him. His breathing kept getting heavier and heavier. Suddenly, he stopped moving. He felt the world stop as he slowly collapsed on the floor. Tenzin had passed out.

Meanwhile in a nearby distance, Alma, Josue, and Niche were talking to each other and gossiping about the incident that just occurred with Tenzin. Josue was incredibly worried about him, but he tried his hardest not to show that he cared too much for his heartbroken crush.

Alma: This is getting so creepy. I mean the kills are bad enough, but this is starting to seem more like some sick game than just some ordinary murder.

Josue: Anyone of us could be next.

Niche: This entire school is just one duck pond and we're the sitting ducks. Luckily I paid the school to hire some extra security, for me of course. The district has signed a contract saying that if anything happens to me they'll get sued automatically and get put out of business.

Alma: What about protection for the rest of us?

Niche: I can only do so much.

Josue and Alma rolled their eyes.

Niche: Hey has anybody seen or talked to Alex today?
