{Day 5, Friday}

Friday, the day when things got pretty serious.

While Tash and Victoria were walking to their classroom, a bunch of students were blocking their way, making it difficult to pass through.

"What's with the commotion?" Tash asked with confusion.

"Whatever it is, it's wasting our time! Let's go find another way, Tash," Victoria answered.

After a minute of walking, the two finally reached their classroom. When they entered, they could sense the gloomy atmosphere surrounding the place. Something was odd, Tash and Victoria were both confused. They went to their seats to chat what was happening.

"Something is wrong with our classroom." Victoria muttered while looking around at their classmates, "What's up with them anyway? Did something happen?"

Tash shook her head, "I actually have no idea."

While they were uttering at each other, a person approached them and spoke, "You don't know what happened?" The girls looked at the person and realized it was Julia. 

She questioned both of her friends again, "You guys, really don't know what happened?....About Dianne?"

Tash faltered, "W-w-what happened to Dianne?"

Julia averted her gaze and mumbled,  "She was found dead..Here in our school. The police stated that she was murdered."

Tash and Victoria were shocked to hear the news, they couldn't believe what just happened to Dianne. But there's one question that came in Tash's mind, "WHO DID IT?"

"I-is that the reason why...There was a commotion earlier?" Victoria hesitated.

Julia nodded in agreement, "Yes and because of that, everyone is now terrified..Even the teachers. They think that there's a killer on the loose."

"Wait- Do the police know who killed her?"

"Unfortunately, no. Perhaps they're still investigating."

Victoria joked while nudging the other "Well..I'm pretty sure it's not me and Tash since we didn't know about this! Right, Tash?"

Julia looked at her friend who was quivering and sitting in silence, "Tash? Are you alright?"

Tears from her eyes started to flow, Tash mumbled "I-it's all my fault...I didn't expect this..to happen.."

The two got worried about their friend, they keep asking her if something's wrong but she didn't answered. Tash kept getting a lot of thoughts and questions in her mind, it was worse than before. She could also hear voices inside her head who were blaming her for the death of Dianne, she could hear them whisper in her ears "It's all your fault...You think you can escape this one?...You're the real killer here, Tash...You let her die."

"Please...Stop..." Tash murmured while covering her ears.

Tash's surroundings started to blur while their voices slowly vanished. "I suddenly feel sick.." she told herself. Later on, they just found out that their friend suddenly passed out.

She couldn't hear nor see anything at all but pitch-black, it's like she was lost. Then all of a sudden, a door appeared out of nowhere. Tash approached the door, and leaned against it. Meanwhile, she heard someone knocking. The girl stood up and attempted to open it but she changed her mind and backed off, she was too afraid to open it because she might end up landing on dead rotting bodies again like last time. 

The door slowly opened by itself, Tash could hear the creaking sound coming from it. There, she saw Dianne who was standing still behind the door and spoke, "Escape this place. Don't you ever come back."

Tash was nervous, her heart was beating too fast. "D-Dianne..I.."

Dianne shouted, "Don't ever come back! Run away from them!" her voice echoed across the whole place. The mysterious figure appeared behind her back and stabbed her from behind.

Tash saw everything, and opened her eyes. Finally, she woke up from another nightmare. She found out that she's inside the school infirmary. 

She asked herself, "What was Dianne trying to say?.."
