It was a normal day at Hollywood Arts and Jade, Tori, Andre, Beck, Robbie and Cat were in Sikowitz's class doing an acting exercise. "Now, when you are about to-"Sikowitz was explaining something when all the sudden Lane entered the classroom fast and interrupted him.
"Sikowitz, we need to talk" Lane said seriously.
"I'm in the middle of class" Sikowitz responded.
"It's important, Sikowitz, all the teachers need to be there, come on" Lane ordered and Sikowitz nodded.
"Alright, class, just... stay here, I'll be back...or not" Sikowitz said and followed Lane out of the classroom.
"What's going on?" Tori questioned curiously. "Why did Lane insist in talking to Sikowitz with all the teachers?"
"He seemed pretty freaked out to me" Andre commented.
"They're probably gonna talk about the party or something" Beck said.
"There will be a party?" Tori asked excitedly.
"Yes, we always have a party when school year ends, remember?" Andre questioned and Tori nodded.
"Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that" Tori said.
"Don't get too excited, it might get cancelled" Jade commented.
"Why would it get cancelled?"Andre questioned.
"You never know" Jade simply said. "I don't think Sikowitz is coming back, let's go" She stood up and Beck followed her, the rest of the gang didn't really want to stay so they walked out too.
The gang was walking down the hall when they heard voices so Jade stopped and looked around the corner to see who was there, she and everyone else saw all the teachers standing in the middle of the hall right in front of the stairs and they all seemed freaked out. "The police are coming, they should be here in a few minutes" Lane informed.
"Should we tell the students what happened?" One of the teachers questioned.
"No, of course not" The principal responded.
"What are they talking about?" Tori whispered confused and they continued listening.
"I think the most prudent thing to do is to send everyone home, at least for today" Sikowitz said.
"I agree but I don't think we should keep it secret, they have the right to know what happened and the news will ultimately be known so no need to hide it" Lane commented. "They're old enough to understand"
"Understand what?" Cat asked confused, they were all looking at the teachers but they couldn't see what was in the middle of their circle.
"I don't know, Cat" Robbie said sincerely, suddenly Cat tripped with Tori's foot and all the teachers realized they were there.
"Uh oh..." Andre said as Tori helped Cat to stand up.
"Guys! How long have you been there?" Lane questioned.
"Long enough to hear your conversation" Jade said.
"What's going on?" Beck asked.
"You can't be here, come on, go back to the classroom" Lane ordered as he walked towards them, Cat and Tori got a glimpse of a body on the floor so they looked closely and saw Meredith laying on the floor with her throat slit and her eyes still open.
"Oh my god" Tori and Cat said shocked covering their mouths so Andre, Robbie, Beck and Jade looked to see what they were seeing.
"Guys, get out of here" Sikowitz ordered but they didn't listen.
"My god... what happened to her?" Beck asked shocked when he saw the dead body which was immediately covered by one of the teachers.
"Go back!" Lane ordered again but they shook their heads.
"We have the right to know, what happened to Meredith?" Tori questioned confused.
"Listen..." Lane began but the principal interrupted him.
"Lane!" He said.
"They have the right to know, she was their classmate" Lane said and looked back at the gang who were appalled by what they had just seen, Cat and Tori were crying, the boys were shocked and Jade was just surprised but she didn't seem sad. "Listen, guys, Meredith was murdered here last night" He informed and their mouths dropped open.
"What? Here?" Tori questioned even more surprised.
"Yes, here, the janitor found her hanged by her arms in the closet with her throat slit this morning" Lane informed. "We don't know who did it or why but they somehow managed to break into the school and murdered her"
"That's insane, oh my god, so a killer could break into our school? That means we are all in danger" Andre said worriedly.
"No, no need to freak out, she was probably a target and they just chose the school to kill her but that doesn't mean someone else is gonna die" The principal said. "Now you kids go home and try to rest and be calm, nothing is going to happen"
The gang went to Tori's house after school and simply sat down in the living room, they were so shocked. "Are you all gonna just stare into space for the rest of the day?" Jade asked slightly annoyed and Tori looked at her surprised.
"Jade, Meredith was murdered; do you know what that means? She is dead, we won't see her again" Tori said sadly.
"Yeah, it's pretty sad but life goes on, she wasn't even our friend" Jade commented and they all looked at her shocked, they couldn't believe she was so cold blooded.
"Jade, how can you talk like that? She was our classmate, we knew her, she didn't deserve to die like that" Tori said.
"Listen, we don't know why they killed her but she probably did something to piss that person off and they simply got back at her, that's how life works" Jade said.
"No matter what she did, she was an innocent girl and she did not deserve to die like that, nobody does" Beck said seriously and Jade rolled her eyes.
"You know what? I didn't like her and I'm honest about it, you said you didn't like her but I know you did" Jade began and he stared at her confused.
"Jade, what? Are you still jealous of Meredith? I thought we were over it" Beck commented.
"I am over it but are you?" Jade asked "Because it doesn't seem like you are, yes, it's sad that she died so young but we can't do anything to change that and I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I'm sad because I am not"
"It's not that I liked Meredith, it's just the fact that I knew her and she was killed and we just learned about it, the normal reaction to a situation like this is to be sad and confused, Jade" Beck commented.
"Oh so you think that because I am not sad I'm not normal?" Jade asked.
"I didn't say that" Beck affirmed.
"I think you did, listen, I am not happy that she was killed but I'm not sad either, does that make me a bad person in your opinion?" Jade asked and he stared at her for a few seconds without saying anything. "I'm taking that as a yes" She said upset and stood up.
"No, I don't think you're a bad person, Jade, I just think you're taking this way too calmly but this is the first time I've seen you dealing with death so I can't really tell if it's a normal reaction for you" Beck commented.
"What you don't understand is that I'm not dealing with anything because I don't really care, if it were my mom or my dad or even one of you" Jade said referring to her friends. "Then I'd be dealing with it and things would be different but It's Meredith, I never liked her and I won't fake sadness I don't feel, I'm not a hypocrite" Jade said and walked out of the house, Beck wanted to go after her but he decided to give her some time and besides he felt sad and he didn't want to have to hide or fight over it.
"Jade is so creepy" Andre commented. "How can she be so cool with the fact Meredith was murdered?"
"She is not creepy, she is partly right and you know her, she just doesn't get scared so easily" Beck commented.
"Yeah but still, she didn't even blink when she saw the body, she was surprised but it didn't affect her at all" Tori said. "That's not normal, she has some deep psychological issues" she commented and Beck looked down slightly annoyed.
"No, Tori, Jade is fine but she is different from most people" Beck affirmed. "You know what? I'll go see her, she was very upset" He said and walked out of the house.
"I think he got kinda upset too" Tori said.
"Well, you said Jade is sick and she is his girlfriend so..."Andre commented.
"Well yeah but Tori is kinda right, however, that's no news we all know Jade is...Jade and I don't think her reaction is unusual" Robbie said.
"Yeah, that's true, I'm just so sad about what happened to Meredith that I assume everyone must feel like me, it's silly" Tori said. "Poor Meredith, at least I hope she didn't suffer a lot..."
