| Alexis hesitated for a few seconds then walked ahead. She walked slowly and stiffly. When she looked out of the window she clentched Dawson's arm and screamed. She pushed Dawson away and ran. She ran back to the weight room and looked for Heather. She wasn't there. She ran out of the door and right into Dawson's arms. "Why did you take off?" he asked. "Dawson, Alex... He was..." she started trembling. "Alexis, you're shaking like hell. What is wrong with you?" he asked taking her into his arms. She let him hold her for a few seconds then jerked away. "Dawson, Alex is dead. Someone killed him. We have to get out of here!" "What? Alexis, what are you talking about?" "Come on, I'll show you." she said taking his hand and taking him back to the LBC. "See, look, he's right there." she cried looking at Alex's dead body hanging in the tree. "How sick. How could someone do this?" Dawson said staring at the limp body. "Come on! We have to get out of here!!!" Alexis said tugging on his sleeve. They turned around to run but Alexis screamed again. "What? What is it now?" Dawson asked grabbing her arm. "Dawson, Heather is dead, too." she cried while pointing at her body. "What the hell is going on here?" he screetched while grabbing Alexis and running the other direction. Alexis seen a shadow up ahead of them and stopped. Dawson started laughing and pushed her in front of him. "Dawson, what are you doing?" she cried. "Nothing, its just so funny how your face looked." "Dawson, we have to call the police." she yelled. "No we don't." someone said stepping out of a room. Alexis screamed and jumped onto Dawson's back. Dawson laughed and a girls voice started laughing. "Who's there and whats so funny?" Alexis demanded. "April fool's!" Mr. Gnabah yelled jumping out of another room. "We got you big time!" Alex said laughing. "You should have seen your face, Alexis. It was the funniest thing that I have ever seen." Heather chimed in. "That was not funny at all!" Alexis cried. "You all know how I don't like jokes like this. This was just sick, it was so sick. All of you are sick. And Mr. Gnabah, I can't believe that you are part of it. This was way out of line. I can't believe that anyone would stoop so low to do something like this. I never want to speak with any of you again." she yelled and turned to walk the other way. She stopped because of a shadow that seemed to be hovering over her. "OK, what's going to jump out at me this time?" Alexis asked in a snotty tone. "I don't know what you're talking about. This was the whole joke. I just wanted to get you back for the cat killing thing that you started." Mr. Gnabah said. "But Heather was apart of it, too." "Yes I know. But she wasn't apart of it till you started the whole thing. You are the one who got everyone calling me C.K. and cat killer. Heather is the one who told me that we should get you back. But Alex came up with the idea and we told Heather when Dawson sent her down to the library. Don't you see, Alexis? It's just a big joke!" he smiled. "OK, if thats all. Then why do I see a shadow outside?" Alexis asked unsure of what they had up their sleeve. "What are you talking about?" Alex asked. "Yea, we didn't put anymore dummy's up beside's the two." Dawson said. "Alexis, is this some kind of a joke to get us back?" Heather asked. "No, there really is a shadow out there. Guy's, I don't like the way it look's either." Alexis said backing away from the window. Right as Mr. Gnabah was walking up to take a look at it someone flung themselve's against the window. Alexis cried out in terror when she seen their face. "Heather, why is Scott doing this? Scott said he was going home." Alexis said getting up. Scott was pounding on the window with a terrified look on his face. "What is he saying?" Alex asked. "It look's like he's telling us to open the window." Dawson said walking over to it. "NO!" Alexis cried grabbing his arm to stop him. "What? Why not?" he asked turning around. "This could be another one of Scott's jokes. We all know how he love's scaring me. Lets trick him at his own trick. Don't let him in." "OH MY GOSH! OPEN THE WINDOW NOW!!" Mr. Gnabah yelled running over to the window and opening it and pulling Scott in, then shutting the window and locking it right before someone smacked up against it with a mask on. "Why didn't you open the window?" Scott cried out of breath. "Because, I thought it was another one of your sick jokes." Alexis said looking at him. "Does that look like a joke?!" he yelled pointing at the window. There was nothing there. "Scott, is this another joke? Please tell me the truth. I've been scared enough already tonight." Alexis asked shaking. "This is no joke, Alexis. If it was a joke would I have stabbed myself?" Scott asked holding out his arm. Alexis seen the cut on his arm where it had looked as if someone had stabbed him. "We have to get out of here! We have to call the police!" Heather cried. "No. We can't leave this room. We all have to stay together. They could have gotten into the school and be hidding anywhere now. I'll go to one of the pay phone's myself." "But Mr. Gnabah, what if they come after you?" Heather asked not wanting anyone to leave. "I have to. It's the only way to keep everyone safe." he said and walked out of the room shutting the door behind him. Alexis heard it lock and flipped out. "He locked the door. What if the guy breaks the glass and come's through the window?" she cried. "I know that you're scared, Alexis. But we all need to be calm." Dawson said sitting in a chair. "Calm? How can anyone be calm with a killer on the lose?" Heather screamed. She ran to the door and tried to open it. It wouldn't budge. "Hey, come on now. Dawson's right. We have to stay calm. Mr. G. will come back soon." Scott said pulling Heather away from the door. "But what if he doesn't come back?" Heather asked. Alexis was about to say something but stopped when she heard someone messing with the doorknob. |
