Fandom High

Hide and seek?

We throw rocks toward the end of my driveway, theres only five of us left, if there was more, they were taken away by a helicopter of some-sort.

I can't stop thinking about that little girl, how she died at such a young age.
How she'll never become a teenager or have a boyfriend or never get married and have kids.

I slump on the ground for a break, i put my head in my lap.

The little girls' family will be so sad, they'll never get to see their little girl grow up, she was probably cute and sweet at home and defensive in here.

Luke sits beside me.

I start to cry. I move my head from my lap to his lap and he hugs me while we play this game of twister.

"Hey it's okay, it's okay," he says but doesn't ask me why im crying.
"It's okay, we'll get through these games and you'll go back to however it wa-" he stops, thinking of Leda.
Because nothing will be the same. Nothing will be normal. It'll be like i moved to another planet and i dont know anyone. Because if i make it out alive, I'm not going back to Fandom High. Stupid school. Killing people.

We sit like that for 10 minutes. Before I've had enough and decide we should go back.

"Can w-we go back to that platform?" I ask Luke.

"Yeah-yeah let's go back to the platform.

We walk back slowly, we haven't finished our mission here.

"Wait we gotta see if its a way out," i get my dose of adrenaline and i run back to the driveway, catching a look in the mirror. I look older, definately.

I grab sticks from around me and rocks, and start to throw at the driveway, it doesn't hit anything. I throw more. Nothing hits anything.

"Now we can go back," i turn to Luke.
Who isn't there.
"Luke?"
No answer.
"Luke?!"

I start to wander back to the arena.

"Luke?! I'm going to the platform! Where are you? Stop it!"
