15 - Dead Meat

"There's no way you're going in there alone." The brunette grumbles as she stands defensively in front of the bathroom door with her arms outstretched. Although she was smaller than me in size, her determined stare and quick reflexes were no joke. I couldn't get past her if I tried.

"If they see that I brought someone with me, it'll just make matters worse." I try and reason as my hand inches closer towards the knob, attempting to push her to the side but she stubbornly stands her ground.

We were currently debating on how to enter the bathroom, in which my worst nightmare may be awaiting me. After showing them the passive-aggressive note, we had to come up with some sort of plan to avoid my fate. After all, there's only so much 'you're dead meat' could mean. The brunette that practically dived in front of the door suggested that we confronted the situation head-on, whilst Jisoo tried to convince me to report it to the principal as a threat and have the person suspended.

That idea was quickly dismissed once we rationed out what the consequences would be when they got back.

And now—despite it being her idea—Jennie doesn't want me to enter alone. "It's too dangerous." She smacks my hand away from the knob and warns me to step back, but it sounds more like a plead. We all have a good idea of who could possibly be waiting for me on the other side, if they were even in there yet.

"What did you even do this time?" Jisoo asks, grabbing me by my bag and pulling me further away from the door. I shrug my shoulders, "I'm not sure myself."

More time passed and all we managed to do was sit by the wall and wait for someone to go in first. That's when a sudden voice echoed from past the door.

"She's taking too long."

We all immediately froze in our places, shifting our eyes onto the heavyweight door.

Now my curiosity had peaked, that voice most definitely didn't belong to Lisa. Not to mention, Lisa did her dirty deeds alone - and this person was having a conversation with someone else inside.

"That's not Lisa." Jisoo whispers, standing up slowly before dusting off her skirt. "I know who that is. We need to go." Jennie stands in an instant, no longer anxiously biting onto her chipped nail.

"Who?" I ask as Jennie pulls me up from the ground.

"Soojin." Jisoo mutters under her breath quietly. I furrow my brows at the familiar name. I've definitely heard it before.

Jennie grabs ahold of my arm, urging me to follow her down the vacant hall. We were at basement level, and not many people roamed around here unless they had classes, were skipping those classes, or doing something inappropriate.

"So now that we know it isn't who we thought it was, we shouldn't just run away." Jisoo says, stopping the both of us from making our escape.

"What do you suggest we do then? We have no idea what she—and whoever else is in there—wants."

"We kick their asses? Duh. Otherwise they'll keep bothering our Rosie." Jisoo pouts at me.

"I'll be fine."

Jennie quickly hushes the both of us, pressing her finger to her lips. "Shh.. I think they're coming out." Her eyes narrow as we hear one of the stalls inside slam shut.

"What? They're gay?" Jisoo gasps.

"No idiot, we need to go. Now." Within seconds, the bathroom door flies open—revealing Soojin, with an ominous glare contorting her face. Two other people exit - standing behind her obediently with their arms crossed over their chests. One of them had a familiar face... Soyeon. And the other girl who everyone addressed as Hirai Momo. She stood there for a few second in silence, her eyes glowering down at me.
