The List

Laci walked through the hallways like she owned the place. Her hot pink heels clicked for every step she took. Everyone became silent when they heard the clicks coming down the hallway. She normally never walked alone, always followed by her posse. But today, she was followed by no one. Only her heels were heard, no boot stomps, no squeaky sneakers, no other heels. Everyone in the halls watched as she entered the cafeteria, her short, pink skirt flowing as she walked. She pushed the double doors wide open and entered, with her head held high. The loud, ruckus was silent as she entered. The swift moving bodies, became still. Laci walked to the center table with the piece of paper in her hand. The people at the center table moved aside as Laci climbed up the bench onto the top of the table. She stomped her foot a few times to silence the rest of the people. "Attention Penscott Student Body!" Everything was silent as her red lips moved smoothly. Every breath was held. Foot silent. Mouth closed. Body still. "The List is done!" Her lips turned up into a smile as the entire student body hollered and cheered. Regan reached for Jamysen's hand and stood up to escape from the scene. Regan dragged Jamysen from the table and out into the hall. "Regan, what's 'The List'?" She questioned as her ragged Vans screeched across the floor. Regan stopped after they got halfway to their Home Room and turned to face Jamysen. "Jamysen. The List is just a piece of paper that Laci, Maisy, and Aurora wrote on. Got it?" The Sophmore nodded her head as she listened intently to what her cousin was saying, "But, The List is going to ruin your life."
