Tom's P.O.V

"What the hell? You guys can't be serious!" I yell.

"Tom, your being rude! Come on, he's new, let's just give him a shot. He helped you! We'll
just show him around a bit, he might not even like us so it's not like we're gonna be besties. Unless he's a nice guy and want's to be are freinds." Edd smiles.

I roll my eyes, "This is High School Edd." I remind him. "You don't just magically expect people to be buddy buddy with you when you ask the to be your freind."

"I do it all the time on Facebook, no one ever declines my freind requests!" Matt beams.

"Ugh! Not the point." I mumbled, I took a deep breath. "Okay, just hear me out. When this guy showed up yesterday, 30 people randomly die? Does that not sound suspicious to either of you?" I question.

"As long as he doesn't break me mirrors I don't see a problem." Matt shrugged, "But that's kinda a bit much of a suspicion."

"Matt's right, it's just a coincidence. Just let it go Tom, your taking this too far." Edd glares at me. "Have you been drinking?"

"No!" I sigh, "You know what? Fine. I'm probably just overreacting."

Edd jumps on me, "Thank you! Come on! Let's go talk to him!" Edd and Matt started walking. I stood there stuck in my thoughts, mabey I am overthinking this but still, I can't shake this bad feeling I have. I-I-no! Edd's right, he's just some normal guy. He has nothing to do with what happened yesterday. "Tom?"

"Uh, coming."

Man, was I wrong..

>>>>>>>>>The day earlier<<<<<<<<<<

*Beep Beep Beep* I slowly open my eyes, stupid alarm clock! My hand smashes down on the buzzer. I rub my eyes and get out of bed. My heads throbbing! Shakily, I  stand up and stumble over a bottle. It's broken and shards are all over the floor. "What the.." blood on the bottle. I dash over to the mirror not surprised. Red stains my hair, "And mystery solved. Jack knocked me out with this last night..." I smell my shirt and imminently throw a coughing fit, I groan. Its drowning in the overpowering scent of hard liquor.
  So I jumped in the shower and finished by throwing on a black t-shirt. I floof up my hair and grab my backpack.
   I opened the door. "Joy." I mumble.
   Its pouring outside, I sigh and go back upstairs to grab my Jacket. The yellow boat they call a bus starts speeding away. I dash down each stairs and slammed the door shut.
   The bus is leaving!
   I run as fast as I could, no point. The bus is aready far in the distance. I cry out in frustration, my breath comes out in a cloud.
Is it really that cold out here?
I slip my jacket on, I began down the path of cement with my earbuds on high.

It usally takes me awhile to get to school since I don't have a car and I have to walk. I look up at the busy streets ahead and start deciding what ways would be the least pain in the ass to take.

"HELP ME!" A woman screams. My heart beats faster,

W-what the hell?

I hesitate, is it a joke? I furrow my brows then run towards the voice, "NO!" She shouts. I can't sit back a listen. I turn a corner at an alley. There are two male figures and a shape of a gun. I clench my teeth and step back, shit! *Boom* My heart skipped a beat. A red liquid filled the cracks of the pavement.

No, no! Is this real? It can't be! It's just a dream is all, right? What?

"Target killed." One man said. The other guy elbowed him and pointed at me, "Get him." Before I can think my sneakers are already slamming into the ground as I run for my life. All I can hear is thunderous thumps of my heart growing faster every second.
