Javier sat in back of the back of the class resting against the window sill with headphones in his ears. He looked up at the clock Good only ten more minutes left, I can't wait to get out of this boring ass class. He thought to himself as he counted the seconds left until the bell that signals dismissal rings when suddenly...

Would all the teachers come to the staff room right away. Something major has come up. All the students MUST remain in their seats until further instruction. Nobody leaves, nobody enters. That is all.

Ah what the hell... just when we were about to get out for the day. He thought to him self. Javier watched as the teacher began panicking Tch... Idiot... freaking out when she is the one who is supposed to be trying to keep everything calm. During the teacher's panic attack he noticed Xiomara sneaking out of the classroom. Heh... she always ditches class every chance she gets... oh well this is probably just some kind of drill I shouldn't worry about. Then suddenly he heard a scream and recognized it as Kiki's.

He sprinted outside the classroom and came upon Alicia's laying mangled body laying in the middle of the hall with her throat and arms slit and the letter "A" carved into her forehead. Javier had been good friends with Alicia since they were little kids. Whoever the hell did this won't get away that easily. He thought as he noticed Renchard peeking out from around the corner. I never really like that guy always acting so suspiciously... I better keep an eye on him...

"Now... Can somebody tell me what happened on the 1st Ocotober in the year 1949?"

As the teacher wrote the date on the board, he let his eyes go around the class room. Before he could point someone to tell him, Achilles had already answered: " On that date The People's Republic of China was declared by-

Would all the teachers come to the staff room right away. Something major has come up. All the students MUST remain in their seats until further instruction. Nobody leaves, nobody enters. That is all.

Damn, he thought, interrupting my answer... He didn't like it when that happened, as he always thought his answers were the most correct and most important thing going on at the moment.

The teacher left the class room with a "Everybody stays here". A scream, loads of footsteps. More screams. Crying. Now, his classmate also left the room to check out what was happening. Only Achilles and his friend Guillaume didn't move an inch.

"You gonna check it out?" Guillaume asked. Achilles could see he wanted it badly.

"Naaah..." he replied, changing his attitude. He now placed his foots on the table and leaned backwards. It was so different from the eager-to-learn type just a few minutes ago. "I think I'll pass... Not in the mood.."
"But you can go if you want", he said when he saw the expression on his faces.

"Kay!" Guillaume said as he ran of.
"Wait!"
"What?"
"Gimme some cigarettes!"
"Ow... if that is what you want..."
A throw. A catch. And then the footsteps of his friend running to check it out.

While exhaling the smoke, Achilles looked at the sky through the window. The steel bars gave him a feeling that he couldn't run away.
That's weird... he thought as he checked his cellphone. I always have connection with my phone company...
He didn't really care, as he barely got a phone call or texted anyone. In stead of wondering what was going on he clicked on the "record" application and recorded one single sentence:

"Seems like something big has happened"

[Skymonkey]

"Well, nice running into you. Litterally. Don't get killed now."

The girl walked off after saying this... "some people really are weird" he thought as h kept walking that is until the power shut off and everyone started screaming until the power came back on bringing with it the shrill sound of the fire alarms... "they must've got into the schools computer systems" he thought out loud to himself... "maybe I should head over that way and see if I can stop that pers... no that monster..." he thought as he pictured himself standing over the beaten murderer and everyone cheering for him... "that'd be the day" he thought as he dispelled the idea from his head "i'd probably just end up dead aswell..." he said thinking how weak he is... I might go see whos in the classrooms... he said as he went towards the chemistry room... as he reached the top of the stairs he saw the same girl standing at the vending machines looking around cunfused... "are you ok" he called out to her wanting to make up for what he had done to her ... "look 'm sorry for what happened down stairs... but i really think we should head to a classroom that would probably be the best idea... Oh yea I'm Lachlan by the way... you can just call me Lockie if you want..."

[Strawberry]

She jumps and whips around. She then blinks and scowls. Then she sighs and rubs her forehead.

"Sorry, Im just a little...Yeah. Wrecked. Im fine thanks. Im Kiki. Or Key. Don't care," she says with a smile, before she turns and quickly buys a bag of chips. She looks over her shoulder at Lockie.

Hmm...Right... She bites her lip, as she walks past him.

"I'll be fine..And...Shouldn't you be following your own advice before giving other people advice?" She smiles and winks at him as she opens the bag, walking to the stair. She pops a chip in her mouth and waves over her shoulder as she descends.

"Yoohoo, Charrrrlieeee?" She looks around. She then scowls. She turns and walks towards the bathrooms, then kicks in the males washroom. She hears scrambling, swearing and people yelling. She snorts and saunters in casually. She smiles as the guys all freeze.

"I fucking hate you Key!" Charles says as he pulls his joint out from behind his back. She snorts.

"Do you honestly think that teachers will care that your getting high? Don't you think they have better problems to worry about?" She snorts. Again. Then she walks out. "Losers."

No matter what face or attitude I put on, I'll still be scared. I can't trust anyone, except the people in my class...Which is probably why I'm avoiding most people... She bites her lip, then pulls her cigarette out. She places it between her lips, then she fumbles for her lighter.

"What the hell.." She stops and sighs heavily. "The world is against me....Chaarlieeee.." She goes back to the bathroom. She quickly gets a lighter from Charles, then she leaves. Again. She inhales deeply, feeling the light-headedness that comes from the first drag of a cigarette. She smiles and blows it out slowly.

After walking through the hallways, avoiding all teachers, shes slumps down against a wall. The teachers covered Alicia's body with a tarp, and tried to evacuate the hallway she was in. She flicks the ash, and watches people.

Its amazing how one person could change everything... She frowns then takes another long soothing drag.

Kayda sighed softly and stretched her back a bit before returning her attention to the doodle she was working on in her art notes. The teacher was lecturing about poetry again, and Kayda couldn’t be bothered to write much down. She loved to read poetry, but when it came to learning about it and writing it she was a hopeless cause. As she continued to sketch, she heard the teacher stop speaking and walk brusquely over to one of the tables where a girl had fallen asleep.

As the teacher was finishing up yelling at the poor girl, an announcement came over the loudspeaker. Would all the teachers come to the staff room right away. Something major has come up. All the students MUST remain in their seats until further instruction. Nobody leaves, nobody enters. That is all.

The teacher responded right away, leaving the classroom after telling them all to stay in their seats. Kayda watched two people from the class, a boy and a girl, get out of their seats and immediately exit the classroom. “Way to follow directions guys” she mumbled under her breath.

After that everything began to happen very quickly. There was a scream, and people from the classroom began to pour out into the hallway to investigate what was going on. Kayda stayed seated at her table figuring that she would just wait and hear what happened when people came back.

As more and more people poured into the hallways, voices began to get louder and more panicked. Kayda walked to the door of the classroom and stood there listening to people talking. A girl, Alicia Brooks had been murdered, her corpse mutilated, and left in the hall. People who had tried to leave the school were semi-screaming in panicked voices that the doors were locked from the outside. They were all trapped.

Kayda broke out in a cold sweat. She wasn’t good friends with Alicia, but she had known her since grade school. They had had several classes together, even worked together on some group projects. How could Alicia be dead? Who would want to kill her? She decided to stay in the classroom for a bit.

Perhaps it would be safer she thought to herself. If I go in the hall and see Alicia, I’ll probably pass out. Never been that good with blood… besides we were told to stay where we were. Yeah I’ll stay here.

She sat back down at the table and began a new sketch to distract herself from the world that seemed to be falling down around her. As she lost herself in the process of drawing the room went black, and the panic in the hallway rose to a new level.

Mirakami had not moved his eyes from his screen for the 45 minutes he was in the class. His teacher didnt realise that behind his work on photoshop and numerous databases on the screens, he was hacking into the school securtiy cameras. hehe...imagine what i could with the cameras under my thumb Mirakami thought. He Finished writing his code in the network prompt when the speakers crakeled relaying a chilling message

Would all the teachers come to the staff room right away. Something major has come up. All the students MUST remain in their seats until further instruction. Nobody leaves, nobody enters. That is all.

hmmm what could that be... Mirakami thought, he ran the script and numerous angles of the school popped into existence on his laptop. damn...i cant go any further back then right now... he saw a crowd of people on one angle and zoomed in. A corpse, brutaly mutilated. Mirakami's eyes widened. OH...shit, he searched through the angles and saw that people were trying to get out but with no avail. ok, we are locked in with a murderer, one person is that murderer and from the looks of it, alicia brooks was the first to go. Mirakami shut down the windows and closed his laptop. he ran down the stairs, jumping the rail at a safe distance. he saw a blonde girl, sucking down ash. how unhealthy.... he continued to run down the hallway and saw the murder site. damn...the body is gone. he turned around and watched as the blonde girl continued to inhale the fetid smoke. he walked up to her and held out his hand "Kiki Kardinal, if im not mistaken, and according to your personality file stored on the server, your afraid of blood? if so, this must of really shaken you up" Mirakami said, he nose crinkling at the smell of the smoke. he grabbed the ciggarette threw it on the ground and snuffed it out, "ya gotta stop that"

[Skymonkey]

"ya gotta stop that"

"yea I told her that... but it didn't really work..." Lockie said as the boy stomped out Kiki's smoke...
as he said this he turned around to walk away "well im going to check on some of the other students... you guys should probably get to a classroom and stay there... it's probably the safest place tobe... Oh and walking around alone probably won't be the best of ideas... Heh i'm very hypocrytical" he laughed quietly to himself as he turned around and walked away in the direction of the art class...
"who would do such a thing... and why do they want to make this worse... this makes no sense..." he thouht to himself as he came up to the art room...
"hello? Anyone in here? guess not..." he said but as he was about to leave he saw a girl sitting alone in the corner of the room drawing on a piece of paper "Hey you probably shouldn't hang out alone... You should find a room with some more people in it and stay there... Come on you can come with me... I'm just checking up on everyone... I'll prbably find some teachers or something..." he said as he watched the girl draw...

[xgaarax]

As Kayda sat in the empty classroom drawing, she failed to notice a boy looking into the classroom from the doorway, his blue eyes scanning the room for something. He spoke out in a soft voice.

"hello? Anyone in here? guess not..."

It took a second for Kayda to process the fact that someone was in the room, but when the sudden question pierced the air, jumped in her chair.

The soft voice continued "Hey you probably shouldn't hang out alone... You should find a room with some more people in it and stay there... Come on you can come with me... I'm just checking up on everyone... I'll prbably find some teachers or something..."


She looked up startled, and saw a brown haired boy standing in the doorway of the classroom. He looked familiar, she was pretty sure she had had a class or two with him, but she had never spoken to him before.

“O-oh God, you scared me” she stammered. “You’re in my grade right? What’s your name? “

[Skymonkey]

“You’re in my grade right? What’s your name? “

"Oh yeah... I'm Lachlan... you can call me Lockie if you want..." Lockie said as he moved closer to where the girl was sitting... when he got closer he tried to see what the girl was drawing but he couldn't decipher the picture...

"Why aren't you out in the hall... I kinda expected the classrooms to be empty unless there was a teacher there... I thought everyone would be out looking at... well.. you know..." He slowly trailed off as he remebered the grotesquely mutilated body he had seen... "So what was your name?"

[xgaarax]

"Oh yeah... I'm Lachlan... you can call me Lockie if you want..."

Kayda noticed that as the boy edged forward he was craning his neck to look at her sketch which was barely visible in the dark classroom. Suddenly self conscious of her art, she tried to cover the drawing nervously with her hands while flipping the sketchbook shut. She reached for her messenger bag to stuff it and her pencils into.

"Why aren't you out in the hall... I kinda expected the classrooms to be empty unless there was a teacher there... I thought everyone would be out looking at... well.. you know..."

Kayda couldn’t help but notice the look that crossed his face as he thought about whatever it was he may have seen in the hall. She felt bad for him, for everyone who had seen.

"So what was your name?"

“I’m Kayda” she stated, offering her hand for a handshake. “Lockie, huh, that’s an interesting name” she grinned. “I’m not in the hallway because I don’t like crowds. Or blood. Or seeing people I know when they aren’t alive.” Kayda grimaced at the thought. “I like to sleep at night. Besides I just felt safer here…” she trailed off at the end of the sentence, not sure what to say next as she finished stuffing her belongings into her bag. “You’re probably right though. We should try to find a teacher or something. Figure out whats going on.”
