I picked it up to see it was Wade. I ignored it and went to take a shower and change. 'Today, I'm officially done with school.'
---------
I finished putting on a Bakugo hoodie and ripped jeans when my phone started buzzing again. I grabbed my boots and a pair of socks and sat on the edge of the bed looking at it and seeing it was Wade. Then putting my shoes on. I got a Ziplock bag full of jewelry and looked through it finding a black choker that in orange said F**K OFF and thought that went good with the hoodie I put it on and brushed my hair just letting it be straight down like always. I finished getting dressed and grabbed a smaller bag and put things I would need for the day like snacks, my sketchbook, pens and pencils, and my laptop. When my phone started buzzing again 'Note to self block Wade' and answered this time.
On the phone
Erica leaving the hotel room: "what do you want?"
Wade: "Have you seen the news today?!?!"
Erica: "No"
Wade: "Look at it then call me back."
Wade hanged up
I went back to the News from yesterday.
JEFF THE KILLER: Three new deaths
.... Jeff the Killer has killed three more people...
I called Wade back
Erica: "So?"
Wade: "ERICA!?!? How can you be so blind about someone you just met yesterday? He's the killer. What did he even say his name was again?"
Erica: "Jeff Woods."
Wade: "See his name is Jeff it said his real name was Jeffery Woods."
Erica: "You're just assuming the worst. I saw him last night he couldn't have done it."
Wade: "Did you see him at the time of death. 11:00 PM."
Erica: "Well, no it was 8:30 when I saw him."
Wade: "Exactly stop being blind and see it already."
Erica's phone dies
'It was only on 30% I should start charging it at night.'

I finished my walk to the cafe and got breakfast. I started eating and plugged my phone up to the wall next to me and started sketching things I saw. First, I sketched an old lady drinking some tea then a bird that had perched on a nearby window then I started sketching a group of people around my age when I realized it was Lily and her pack. I put my hood up and moved on to the next thing to sketch a vase of roses on the counter then a single mom with her child then a guy around my age who was ordering his food when I realized it was Jeff. I decided that if he talked to me, I would talk to him otherwise I would just leave him alone just in case, but I did keep sketching him. Once I looked up again, I saw that he was gone I went to turn the page, just another unfinished sketch when I heard a voice behind me
"Why are you not going to finish it, it looks great?"
I answered "I thought he left turns out he's just behind me. Want to sit down so that I can finish it?"
He sat down in front of me, and I continued sketching.
"Why do you have your hood up anyway?"
"Remember those bullies I was talking about the other day?"
He just nodded.
I pointed to where the pack was standing which was a little bit closer than before.
He looked where I was pointing and shrugged "Maybe they won't come over here if you put your hood down."
"They would definitely come over here then."
At that moment I heard Lily's voice "So what's a cutie like you doing with a geek like her."
I glanced up to see her talking to Jeff. I focused on my sketching and hoped she didn't realize who I was. When I felt a hand on the one, I was drawing with. I could tell it was his because of how pale it was, and I saw his white hoodie sleeve.
"You're kidding, right? You with Ms. anime over there." Lily's voice spoke again she pulled my hood off and acted like she was shocked and disgusted to see it was me.
One of her pack dragged me out of my seat and held my arms behind my back facing me to another one of them who punched me in the stomach. They all kept hitting and punching me and when I looked over to where Jeff was .... he was gone.
