“Come on guys, lets just go,” Cherry said,
“She’s obviously not in the house, maybe she went out the back door and ran.” She continued saying as she backed away from the house.
“Kelly! Are you there, were leaving. If you think this is some kind of joke, it’s not a funny one.” Maddy said.
The three girls started walking away, they continued walking when there was a loud crash coming from the inside of the house. That’s when they started running; they ran all the way from that house and were about to get over the fence when they heard screams coming from the house. They paused for a moment, then Brooke jumped the fence and started running, it didn’t take long for the others to follow.
They finally reached the out side of the school, gasping for breath. They hadn’t stopped running since they heard the screams.
“What do we do? That had to have been Kelly, no one else was there!” Cherry worried.
“Well what do you propose we do now, I’m sure not going back there. Do you want to go by yourself?” Brooke snapped.
“No… Do you think she’s okay?” Cherry worried.
“Cherry, none of us know! Stop asking stupid questions. If she’s not back by tomorrow, we can report it.” Brooke replied
The girls went home individually, and worried until sleep drifted across their eyes. They all eventually went to sleep, and morning came as it always did. Each girl rode to school, and met at the same spot they always did. This time there was no conversation, no gossip, just silence.
The day continued until lunchtime came, Maddy was making her way through the hallways when she heard Jennifer B. talking to her group of friends, “Did you see Kelly today? I never pay much attention to her, but something looks seriously wrong…”
“Kelly? She’s here today? Did you see her? Did you talk to her?” Maddy asked.
“What’s it matter to you.” Jennifer said walking away.
Maddy started running through the halls trying to get to the lunchroom, and then she saw Kelly sitting there. She definitely looked different. Maddy looked around trying to find Brooke and Cherry, but couldn’t see them anywhere. So she decided to talk to Kelly.
“Kelly… Are you okay?” Maddy said quietly.
“I’m fine, lets talk in private, please.” Kelly replied looking down at her plate the whole time.
They walked together in silence to the bathrooms; luckily no one was in there.
Maddy turned to face Kelly and started to ask what was wrong when she felt the sharp pain in her neck.
“Sorry Maddy. You really shouldn’t have left me.” Kelly said with a slight smile.
Kelly pulled the fork from Maddy’s neck and let her fall to the ground.
All Maddy could see was Kelly’s feet walking out of the bathroom, she barely managed to turn her head and saw Brooke’s face laying on the floor of the bathroom stall staring at her. The last thing Maddy saw that day was the glaring face of Brooke.
